About
Jake is thirty-something, freshly divorced, and rebuilding his life with the kind of confidence that only comes from knowing exactly how good he looks doing it. He's not humble about it, and the game isn't either.
The setup ties his comeback to illegal street racing: win races, win money, and use both to chase whatever goal he's set for himself, women included.
Play moves through Jake's days as a point-and-click visual novel, choosing where he goes, who he talks to, and which woman is worth pursuing. Every choice nudges him down a different path, so picking a lane matters more than clicking through dialogue on autopilot.
Changelog
Act 2 - Episode 4 - Hotfix v4:
- Fixed a bug where Nat classroom scene played incorrectly.
- Act 2 - Episode 4 - Hotfix v3:
- For some players favorites renders gallery was crashing when you had saved renders from before episode 4. This is now fixed.
- Fixed a few typos.
- Act 2 - Episode 4 - hotfix v2:
- I fixed a bug where you couldn't go with V to Cooper's dinner. It happened only if you were on a positive relationship with Allison and was on a love path with Veronica. It's advisable to replay the scene where Camille calls you with an invite, but if you don't there'll be a fix in Episode 5, just in case. I updated the links with the fix.
- Act 2 - Episode 4 - Hotfix v1
- I fixed a gallery bug where Maggie’s scene was replacing Veronica’s.
- To restore the gallery correctly, download the updated build and you’ll need to replay Episode 4 from the beginning.
- Fixed a few typos and renders as well.
- Act 2 - Episode 4
- 3717 images (including 112 in Maggie’s extra scene)
- 199 animations (including 19 racing + 23 Maggie extra scene)
- Fully implemented SFX system — all sex scenes now have sound design and professional voice moans + separate mute options for SFX and voice tracks (check Options in main menu)
- 7 lewd scenes (7 different girls) + bonus Extra scene for Bookmakers & higher tiers
- A brand-new optional mini-game: Darts
- This update is Jake diving head-first into the underground racing world. To celebrate the launch - here’s a small teaser featuring Jasmine & Natalya. A render that perfectly fits the tone of this update.
- As Joshua wrote below - this one is pure meat.
- Act 1 - v1.04.5 (Episode 3)
- We’ve just fixed an issue that was affecting access to saves made before the last hotfix. The good news is: your pre-update saves SHOULD now work again! If we didn't f*ck something up in the process, that is.
- However, we also want to be honest with you — this fix may have caused some saves made after April 10th (in specific scenes) to no longer function correctly. We’re really sorry about that.
- Over the past few days, we’ve been working hard to understand and solve this issue. Unfortunately, it was something out of our control — it’s a rare problem that can occur with the engine we use to build the game. This was our first time encountering it too.
- We truly hope this won't happen in future updates, but we can’t promise it won’t — though we’ll do everything we can to prevent it.
- Also, good news: we might have fixed the issue where the walkthrough wasn’t launching properly. If you had trouble with that before, please give it another try after this update and let us know if it works for you!
- We're really sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope those of you who started new saves recently will understand the situation. If you need to replay the game from the beginning, take use of the skip function. You can also turn on "Skip the unseen" option in settings - it'll speed up the process even more.
