Friendship with Benefits was the first game I made and released, and to this day it stands as not only my most successful game, but the one that changed my life the most. The success of this game allowed me leave education and to move into game development full time.
That's why, even six years later, I'm still happy to come back and give this game some love and polish. Particularly, since working on my newest title, Monster Girl Tavern, I've gotten a lot more experience coding in Ren'Py and designing UIs. I decided to bring some of that practical knowledge back, and improve the old menus and interface with something sleek and clean. Of course, if you'd prefer the original UI, there's an option for that in the menu.
But while I'm here, I might as well add a little bit of extra content, no? We've got a new scene with Lily, and some bonus pinups from Dawn that can both be accessed at the end of the game. Additionally, I've squashed every bug and typo that has been fond over the years.
Major Changes:
New Content: New Sex Scene with Lily at the Castle (post-finale)
New Content: After completing Dawn's route, you may visit the Club to view her collection of 16 interuniversal pinups.
Gallery: Improved and now always available. Added preview images, and percentage completion for each category.
Crystal Ball: Functions the same with an improved menu.
UI: New Textbox, Menu Choices, and Font. Included custom settings for fonts and text sizes.
To Do List: No longer a .png with text planted over it. Now a menu with dynamic icons, categories and clearer hints
After beating the game, a quick Day/Night toggle now appears on the World Map, this does not officially advance the day.
The textbox now disappears during sex scenes.
Legacy Options: Includes the option to use the v1.0 UI and To-Do List
Added Mouse Wheel 'Down' Text Advance, and an option to disable it.
Added the option to refuse Penelope's 'magic lesbian' sex scenes
Cheats Menu: No longer a code submission box. Now a comprehensive menu that gives you complete control over all in-game metrics
Added new cheats to rename characters (this was actually tough, required replacing every name in the script with a variable)
Minor Changes:
Save Files: Now include the in-game day and current percentage completion
Work Secret Scenes: Are now guaranteed to occur if you meet the conditions (previously 50% chance)
Bar Free Roam: All characters now always appear at the bar (previously 50% chance)
File size reduced by about ~300 MB while remaining visibly lossless

To celebrate a successful launch, I am releasing a completely free update which adds 12 new sex scenes to the game!
+3 Romanceable Girls
+12 new Sex Scenes
Free!
However, these twelve new scenes are being introduced in a unique way. Instead of having obvious new routes which feature these scenes, they've instead been hidden among the world of Arcadia and can be found by exploring the world.
In total, this update adds 13 secrets for you to find, and here are clues to help you find them:
Secret 1: It's time to go werewolf hunting, but we need a +1 to help us out. Secret 2: What's up with that Bunny, anyway? Secret 3: Did you know there are actually two dragons? Secret 4: This is what happens when you get drunk and sleep around too much. Secret 5: Déjà vu with Honeycrisp. Secret 6: Cream has a surprise for you. Secret 7: Someone has another set of lingerie they want to try with you. Secret 8: This girl is surprisingly flexible. Did you know she used to be a ballerina? Secret 9: I'm aerodynamic. Big breasts just get in the way. Secret 10: At the break of Dawn. Secret 11: Melody finally unleashes her inner femdom. Question is, where? Secret 12: Working with a Succubus is probably a bad idea. Secret 13: Talk to the cured werewolf. But, who is it?
All secrets are one time events! However, you can re-experience them using the Crystal Ball and the Art Gallery.
You can keep track of the secrets you've unlocked using the to-do list.
Feel free to start a discussion and help each other find them!

- Game now supports Mac, Linux and SteamOS play - Typos, fixes and consistency improvements in various areas. - The todo list on the main menu closes slightly faster, instead of having a small delay. - I've also fixed a couple of instances of misplaced eyes or bodies in the artwork, the two mainly being Lily in the lab and Melody in the music studio.
Just a small update that added functionality to these additional operating systems. I have personally been unable to test if they work, so fingers crossed, lemme know how it all works out. I'll continue to fix issues whenever they're found so everyone can have the best Friendship with Benefits experience possible.
Thank you everyone for such an incredible launch. You can read here to see my plans for the next update: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1299370/discussions/0/3006676913242852078/
