This is the long-awaited campaign mode update, which brings with it a couple of gameplay features that affect the other modes. In its current incarnation, campaign mode doesn't add any notable sexual content that wasn't in the game already. However, it does lay the groundwork for scenarios that wouldn't be possible in the single play mode (like going up against one of the Chosen who discovers that her old partner is eager to violate her and bring her to the Demon Lord, or Chosen coming after you in order to rescue a loved one who you imprisoned during a previous loop). This is also the first release which allows the player to use the Forsaken in a higher-difficulty game mode, so I expect that this will be many players' first time seriously engaging with the Forsaken mechanics, and I'm still interested in hearing feedback about how well they work.
Unlike hard mode, campaign mode does not have a definite endpoint, and it does not assign the player a score at its conclusion. Instead, the goal of campaign mode is to survive as many loops as possible against increasingly difficult teams of Chosen. The factors that make each loop difficult include earlier deadlines and decreased damage (as with hard mode), as well as two new modifiers: a multiplier which increases both the trauma required to perform sinful downtime actions and the amount of trauma those actions resolve, and the presence of elite "Superior" Chosen. Currently, the difficulty eventually rises beyond what players can reasonably be expected to deal with, but as more gameplay features are added, there will be more options for meeting each challenge. Players who manage to get as far as Loop 5 in the current version should feel very proud of themselves.
As far as sexual content goes, this update adds a new variant flavor for the Tempt action which can show up in battle. Tempt users should also be happy to hear that the sex scenes between Chosen can now also fire for female virgins, as long as the receptive partner is willing to have anal sex (either because of Tier-2 Confidence Break or because she's learned to enjoy anal while being Tempted). Both additions were requested by the subscriber Elmsdor. A spanking-centric vignette has also been added at the request of the subscriber Kalloi, and a third sex scene between two friendly Chosen has been added too. The requirements for all vignettes can be checked in the new vignette checklist file included with the download. Enjoy!
