About

Emma takes a new job at a major company and finds the office is less about career ladders and more about who's manipulating whom. Every choice she faces pushes her toward one of two poles: lies and leverage, or honesty and restraint.

The story tracks what happens when ambition and personal life start pulling in opposite directions. Cut corners for advancement and the workplace politics get uglier; hold the line and the path narrows in its own way. Nothing here is framed as automatically right.

You steer Emma through the decisions, weighing boldness against caution across both her career and her relationships, with the outcomes branching depending on which way you lean.

v0.71 Test

1. INTERFACE / UI
1.1. Store Problem: When clicking “Clothing and Accessories”, the screen opens, but the “Exit” button leads to the wrong screen instead of going back. “Products” are displayed in the wrong section.
New store structure:
Top icon → Products (separate section)
Second screen (section menu):
Clothing
Accessories
Fitness Goods
Sex Toys
Collections and Achievements
Exit ← returns to the previous screen (does not drill down into another menu)
1.2. Problem: At the top it says “Emma”, but the message is written by Victor. Fix: Replace “Emma” → “Victor”.
1.3. Character List
Shelly is missing from the list (check if she should appear when using the arrow).
Tyler (diary) — highlight the entry with a different color in the character list.
1.4. Typo (consistency) In one of the upper responses, “morale” is used instead of “morality”. Fix for terminology consistency.
3. STORY LOGIC — PHOTO SESSION (Save 10-3, character_11)
3.1. Availability of the 3rd option The 3rd option becomes available without stat checks if Emma has already completed a nude photo session with a partner.
The text will be slightly different. All phrases related to working off a debt must be cleaned up and removed. The hot final part is also removed — it can only be obtained through the debt route.
3.2. 3rd Level Photo Session (requirements lowered):
If the following entry exists: 4: "The shoot is over. I still can’t believe I went through with it! But now Andrew and I are even. What a relief… If only it weren’t for Dexter… He said I have ‘talent’ and offered me a contract. He wants me to shoot porn. I told him ‘no’… Of course, there can be no talk of anything like that! I’m a respectable woman. And married, besides."
5: "The shoot is over. I still can’t believe I went through with it! But now Andrew and I are even. What a relief… If only it weren’t for Dexter… He said I have ‘talent’ and offered me a contract. He wants me to shoot porn. I didn’t say ‘no’ to him… But of course, there can be no talk of anything like that! I’m a respectable woman. And married, besides."

v0.451

Added French proofreading
We’ve received a lot of positive responses: the photoshoot made a strong impression on many, and some even mentioned the barbecue, even though I didn’t put much emphasis on it. On the downside, the most frequent complaint was the size of the update — and that’s a fair point. Originally, I planned to bring the story up to Sunday morning, but due to technical reasons, some scenes had to be pushed to the next patch. The beach, gym, and dance studio were also temporarily left out, although they were supposed to appear in this update.
