Demons Within Update 5.5 out on Patreon!

Whew!

I know, I know, some of you might remember that Update 5.5 was supposed to come quicker than usual (hence the 5.5 label). That *was* going to be the case... until Update 5.5 grew to be as large as a regular update. And then it grew even larger still! At its current state, because of all the possible branches, Update 5.5 here is one of the largest we've had so far when it comes to amount of words. For those that were eagerly awaiting to see more tiger at the end of the tiger's day, I hope you'll be pleased this time!

Not only because of all the different flavors of tiger you can get at the end of the spare day with Edwin, but also because this was a good opportunity to debut Demons Within's second CG! Recalling the first night with Edwin at the beginning of the game with brand-new visuals sounds like a good thing to do before moving on to the new stuff. ;)

Update 5.5 Changelog

• Around 25k words of new story content. This is more than most updates so far! All of it is split between different variations on how Edwin's day can end depending on who you nudged Resnick into talking with earlier (Jayden or Boris) and how much you infuse people with Lust during the rest of the day.
• Demons Within's second CG is out! This one is also retroactive. I urge people to try playing through the first night Resnick had with Edwin at the beginning of the day. That scene as a whole has been slightly rewritten and improved with brand-new visuals.
• Added an interface button on the top right corner of the screen when a CG appears that allows players to hide the interface and text so they can appreciate the artwork as much as they want. This does the same thing as pressing the H key on the PC version (by default).
• Expanded most of the cast's sprites to add some variations and different stages of... excitement when things involving Lust are happening
• Small improvements to the game's interface with a new frame for information pop-ups (such as tutorials, prompts, etc)

As I said, lots of stuff! I'm particularly excited for what's coming in Update 6 and beyond, however. This update marks the end of the parallel spare day options and, with it, we'll be moving forward in the story and in a bunch of different things in Update 6! It's already being worked on and I'm very excited to share all it's going to contain! Stay tuned!

For now, though... The release of Update 5.5 on Patreon, as usual, marks this date. In about 4 weeks from now, Update 5.5 will be released to the public as well!

For those that support Demons Within's Patreon, the new update is available early by connecting your Itch.io account with Patreon with instructions on Demons Within's special Patreon page!

As always, though, huge thanks to everyone who's played and supported Demons Within and is enjoying it! I love you all!

Thank you!
