Hey everyone!
V0.28 is currently in beta and will launch here on Steam on Friday, August 28th!
In this update the main story of Shattered Minds continues! You'll dive back into the depths of your mind alongside Ava to unlock a powerful new ability: "Mass Influence"! (New sex scene with Ava included!)
But that's not all. You can look forward to meeting and unlocking 3 new women for your Casting Agency. These 3 characters are familiar faces you've met earlier in the game, brought back by popular demand from you, the community!
On top of that, another harem customization feature gets added: starting in V0.28, you can fully furnish and customize the bedrooms you've built for your women!
Let's take a closer look at what's to come!
New Quest (possible spoilers)
Spooky Minds (Ava, Main Quest)
Ready for a trip into a twisted haunted house? To unlock the "Mass Influence" ability, you must face the vengeful ghost of Blackwood Manor alongside Ava. Expect clichéd horror-movie friends, gruesome deaths, and a literal puppet apocalypse.
New Casting Company Characters
This time, 3 familiar faces are waiting for their job interviews!
Even though these three won't get their own full questlines or become part of the main harem, I still hope most of you will enjoy catching up with them!
As teased during Mark's quest when you bought the Casting Agency, unlocking new applicants will cost you some cash. Additionally, these three ladies require you to finish certain quests first before they become available.
Now, let's move on to the ladies:
Angelina
Angelina is Sarah's mom, whom you met alongside her husband Graham during Sarah's last quest. What could possibly bring the devout wife of the local priest to your Casting Agency? Time to find out!
Stacy
You first ran into Stacy during Sofia's quest, while looking for a replacement paralegal. Even back then, it was pretty clear she wasn't quite cut out for the job. During her new job interview with you, she'll reveal the full story of how terribly it all went down.
Sabrina
Sabrina looks eerily similar to Rosaline, whom you got to know (and maybe love) in the Fantasy Mind World, with only a few (obvious) differences. How is that even possible? Well, Ava has the perfect explanation ready. Much to MC's disappointment, though, Sabrina's personality couldn't be further from Rosaline's!
New gameplay element: Harem Bedroom Customizer
After the Clothing Customizer, I am happy to now introduce the Harem Bedroom Customizer! As some of you might have already noticed, there has been a "Furniture" section in the Nilery App since the last update.
Starting with V0.28, you can buy furniture pieces there and customize the rooms of your women individually!
You'll have 5 different slots/categories to tweak and personalize:
The Bed
The Flooring / Rugs
The Wall (behind the bed)
Two Object Slots (behind the character)
When a girl moves in with you for the first time, her room starts out completely bare, though, a basic mattress on the floor is always included. It's looking like this:
To furnish the space, simply jump into the Nilery App on your phone and buy whatever catches your eye.
Unlike the Clothing Customizer, furniture items are actually consumed when placed.
This means if you place a specific bed in one girl's room, it is removed from your inventory. If you want to use that exact same bed for another girl, you'll either need to take it away from the first room or buy a second one in the app.
This adds realistic extra costs and gives you a reason to spend your money, which also serves as money sink in the mid to late game.
Clicking the new Gear Icon inside a girl's room opens up the Customizer Menu:
And here, as long as you have everything in your inventory, you can go wild and design the room exactly how you imagine it fitting for each character!
Feeling something a bit wilder?
Or prefer a more lovely look?
Or just mix and match everything! (Note: There are more furniture options available in-game than what's shown in these previews!)
Just like with the Clothing Customizer, there are dozens of unique combinations to experiment with, so have fun finding the perfect setup for everyone.
That's it for now, and I hope you like what you see!
As mentioned earlier, V0.28 will be released on Friday, August 28th!
