Deluded v0.3 IS OUT!
🕑 Added 2023-12-29 21:17:32 +0000 UTC💜 v0.3
🧡 v0.3 (+ CHEATS, SECRET STORE)
Rejoice, brethren, for finally, the long-waited big content update has arrived! 😃 Let me just recap everything we’ve added to the game, what happened to the project in general and what we’ve been doing for so long.
First of all, the Needs System. The third step of our core mechanics roadmap is done!
From this moment on, you gonna have to monitor Alisa’s needs carefully. To satisfy her needs, you'll find a variety of items and solutions scattered throughout the playable areas. What if you don’t take care of them? So, there are Satiety, Hydration, Sleep, Toilet, Body temperature with the most important one being Mood. Needs have borderline states (0 - 100) that give buffs/debuffs. In general, not meeting needs leads to lower Mood, and having Mood on the lowest mark for too long leads to the only way of having a game over in Deluded.
There’s also one parameter called A**usal. It increases over time naturally and even faster by doing “certain” activities. When above 50 - it gives H**ny effect. When H**ny effect is active you’re able to cool Alisa down with routine events and activities available around the area.
We tried to make the needs more immersive by using post-process effects on critical states, but you can still look up the numbers if you want in your Tab menu.
Learn more about the new Needs system just by playing!
During that time, our team has also expanded with 2 new members: a quest designer (ArkadiyVicont) and an animator (YuraN235). We’ve spent a great deal of time teaching them our systems and workflows, that’s why this update took us that long 😁 But now they’re all good and work with full dedication, which we’re happy about! For this update YuraN235 made the chair event animations and Arkadiy made the 3rd day quests almost entirely by himself!
But not only that. Arkadiy has also worked and continues working on prototyping the open world, particularly on the Lindcliff village. Later we would like to make a separate post thoroughly explaining the open-world game loop. I’ll just tell about it in short. Currently, he has prototyped some Lindcliff activities, NPC fractions, survival stuff, etc… All of this will be available not earlier than v0.9. With the help of ArkadiyVicont we’ll continue working on the open world while going along the main story in the prologue.
The game functionality has expanded significantly with the help of our programmer. A lot of code for open-world game loop and v0.9 has been written and it’s already being used in prototyping.
Another major thing we’ve accomplished is that we added a lot of lore details to the game and now we’ve established a clear direction of the plot development!

Apparently the cartridge only spawn the second time you search his boxes.

I remember finding a marker last playthrough, but this time I can't find it. Where is it? BTW, The game cartridge only appears the second time you search the boxes in her brother's room.

Stupid question .. what is the use key to open doors LOL
Anthony Harvey
If you head to the right from the front of the house a little distance, you will find an obscured cave entrance. Following it will take you past the mansion gates.

@SRT Please help me.

Another interesting bug is with the chain dress. No one reacts to you wearing it any differently than her regular clothes.
Anthony Harvey
I did the marker/shower cycle. I noticed that after showering and leaving, she stays permanently wet. People dry off after 30 minutes if they don't do anything. I was expecting to be able to dry off as an interaction option with the towel shelf where I picked up my clothes.

I can't enter the old mansion. I've done everything for my parents. I went to the old mansion. There was a small entrance. I pressed it and the character popped out in the same place. What do I have to do?
Anthony Harvey
I retried it and found the cartridge. Apparently forgot to pull it from its inventory. However, I played the game and took the lewd options since I was over 20 lewdness. I continued playing the game after going down on the controller. I then exited the game, but the quest didn't complete.
SRT
what did you do prior to that? I need more info
Anthony Harvey
The game cartridge disappeared from the boxes in her brother's room. I can't complete Gamer Girl as a result.

How do we get intelligence up? been running around and having a hard time finding methods
Anthony Harvey
When it comes to the day 2 toilet paper scene, is there an option where her dad sees her naked?
NaughtyOtter
You cant get to 25 int, in the first day, so all that options doesnt work too

Why not just temporarily lower all the stat costs to something trivial for this early stage of development since you only have 3 days of playtime and more content than someone could experience in that time by playing and exploring the world at a normal pace? You've built this incredibly mysterious and intriguing world that's just begging to be slowly explored in detail, but the high stat requirements force you to have to metagame it if you want to see the fun stuff.
SRT
Hello, sorry about that. We did a playtest before release, no one complained about the balance, probably because everyone was using cheats during the playtest, also we didn't have time to add new content for the lewd increasement. We are already working on 3 new scenes for lewdness progression, we lowered the default pure from 20 to 10. For now use a marker and then use a bathtub to increase lewd
Costello
literally came here with the same question. Trying everything I can to max lewdness, but it's frustrating to miss so many choices because it doesn't seem possible to get the stat high enough fast enough without some cheat/exploit
NaughtyOtter
i cant get lewd 20 in day 1 or 2, it is possible because i tried everything... pureness always start from 10 so you have to low that first, you lose everything trying to low that
Madisson
how to change my body physic plz?
SRT
There are 2 ways to get in, but you have to fulfill all the small requests of the family before doing so
SRT
Yes, we've added a needs system in this update, so you'll have to keep an eye on Alisa's needs.
Unknow
how to enter in the old mansion during the 3rd day ?
Gary gordinne
The gamer girl quest don't resolve after I played the game and I can't go to day 2 I get an "i will find mys sister ending" Did I forget something? I went to day 2 without any problems on build 0,2
