The Library Story

0.97.31
Fixes
- Important! The bug related to f_music_place() and, accordingly, loading locations under certain conditions is fixed.
- Important! It was not the best decision to close access to the Hunters Guild at night :D. Now access to the telescope at night is open again. By the way, in the next version (LS 0.97.5) the Hunters Guild will be added as a separate location, hence, now this is a temporary solution.
- The "Fear of the Charmed Ones" potion was not consumed while using in battle, and after the first use, the skill continued to be displayed in battles where the Beast's helpers were already absent. Corrected.

0.97.3
This version includes a new storyline about Gaston in the stocks, plus a number of changes and fixes.

In order to start new events, try to stumble upon the guards in the town at night (from the third day after starting the game or loading a save) and not get along with them (moreover, to lose the first or, if your Gaston is good at the battle, then even the second battle with them). This is a recurring event, so don't be afraid to do something wrong... Moreover, you MUST do something wrong to see new scenes. ^__^ Gaston can be thrown in the stocks directly or if he doesn't pay a fine within a certain time. In the future, we plan to develop this system and add a number of events related to this mechanic. But this version already has something to see!

Important note: in order to see the maximum of events, Gaston must already be engaged in "teaching" Betsy, be familiar with Scylla, pass storyline about Emma in the stocks (with Betsy's participation in it). Actually, it's possible to be thrown in the stocks as many times as you like, Captain Charles is always happy to put Gaston in there, hence, new scenes can be easily opened as you progress through the game.

In the near future, we're gonna continue publushing materials for 'The Library Story' v.0.97.5. Next time you can learn about possible gameplay for the Tentacle tree, so stay tuned!

0.97
✓ For all patrons: a few small events, bug fixes, a number of improvements and changes.
✓ For $5 patrons: Belle now has a special mechanic. She not only sometimes caresses herself in the bedroom, but at the same time reacts to the latest events. More than 15 "reactions" to a variety of incidents in the game. When the "reaction" activates, a special notification will appear. Obviously, first you need to complete the Bed Skills quest of the first level.
✓ For $10+ patrons: Look out for the footprints in the woods... after Belle completes the Bed Skills quest Level 2. This is a very big event and we can't wait to know your impressions. All other bonuses are also available to you.

0.96.5
This version is a continuation with Betsy & Emma - Betsy content have been in really high demand from both patreons and fans - So that storyline have been continued now. Which will take place in the stocks in the center of the square in town, with both Gaston & Betsy having some fun with locked up Emma.

0.96
This is LS 0.96, a very important version that uncovers a whole chain of events in the Binker's Lab. In addition to the interest of these events in themselves, this is also another one options for completing a big and various quest for Bed Skills Level 3. To open the event line in the Laboratory, you need to complete the quest for bed skills 2 level, and then wait a little over a week. Belle will come to the bookstore herself in the morning, then everything will start. If you continue the game using the save from LS version 0.95 (in which you've already completed this quest), then just wait a week. The event should start with the same algorithm. We've used some new mechanics in this version, so we'd love to know how you appreciate it!
