Public Release 0.1608.1: New Nozomi Trance Path Ending!

Hi, everyone!

This update sees the new Nozomi Trance story path written up to a conclusion! To find the new path, begin the game on Nozomi's route, give her a reinduction trigger and on the weekend convince her to stay. For a more specific rundown of the choices needed, please check the guide attached to this article where the new part is marked in green.

There are a couple of caveats when playing this story, though. For one thing, while it's fully playable and enjoyable regardless of your prior choices, the much more complete version of the climactic scene can only be witnessed if one has chosen to tickle Nozomi earlier in the story before it branches into this one. The new CG art is in this version of the story and is looking rather glorious if I do say so myself ^^;

Selecting the choice that isn't tickling will still give a story that's playable to the end, only the climactic scene contains placeholder art assets and an unfinished script that will be completed for next month.

And that concludes another year of free monthly updates for Penlight~ Enjoy the holiday season and I'll see you next year ^.^
