The next major update for Happy Endings lands at the end of August — and it's the biggest one since launch. It's playable right now on the Steam beta branch, and we'd love your help testing it.
What's coming
- WORKER TRAITS — every hire can roll quirks: VIP DARLING, QUICK HANDS, EXHIBITIONIST, IRON BACK and 11 more. Two same-tier hires are never the same girl again.
- MORALE — nonstop work tires a girl out (slower, worse tips), rest brings her back. Send her on a break, flip the front-desk sign to CLOSED to rest the whole roster, or grab the new SHIFT MANAGER Legacy perk to automate it. Low morale never makes anyone quit.
- SUSPICION REWORK — the heat meter is now risk vs. reward. Ride it past 50% and customers pour in faster... but let it hit 100% and the Guild seizes your safe and locks the parlor down while they sweep it.
- AURELIA, THE LEGENDARY HIRE — a one-of-a-kind golden girl who can turn up at the Hire desk if you're lucky. Hand-animated, with five exclusive scenes only she can learn.
- MUSIC SHOP — five new chill-out tracks to buy for your parlor with your hard-earned cash, alongside the classic theme. Your collection survives rebirth.
- STYLE — 10 hairstyles plus new NINJA and MAID outfits, on top of per-girl colors and dyes.
- FAVORITE SCENES — star any learned scene per girl in the COACH menu, and she'll perform only what you starred. Decide who does what.
- RENAME YOUR GIRLS — right from their card.
- MONTHLY LEADERBOARD — the board now has ALL-TIME and THIS MONTH tabs, with monthly resets.
- QUALITY OF LIFE — scene censoring removed entirely, volume sliders for music/SFX, the game keeps running while minimized, in-game patch notes, and a REPORT BUG button that sends your log straight to us.
- PERFORMANCE & STABILITY — big parlors finally run at full capacity, plus a pile of crash and freeze fixes.
Want to play it early?
All of this is being tested on the beta branch right now. If you want in:
- Join our Discord: discord.gg/PuJM9ggqBT
- Ask for beta access — we'll get you set up.
It's a beta, so expect some rough edges — that's the point! If something breaks, the new REPORT BUG button in Settings sends it straight to us, or ping us in Discord. Your feedback over the next few weeks directly shapes the final release.
Thanks for playing — see you in the parlor. 💜
