Course of Temptation February Update Early Access (v0.7.6)
🕑 Added 2026-01-31 20:20:11 +0000 UTC
The early access period for the February update is here!
This update focuses mostly on the library basement storyline, adding a couple of new events to the set, and then as the storyline proceeds, converting it into an area you can visit anytime with a social event taking place during the weekly discussion time.
Some work has been done on sex toys, with NPCs now potentially bringing their own collection to an encounter, and some toys available depending on the contents of the room (currently only for the library basement, but we'll develop this further).
A new bowling alley and jewelry shop have been added to the town. The bowling alley is the location of a new hangout/date type.
There are a couple of new tabs under the Character screen that collect some stats that otherwise were never seen in one place. These are works in progress, so let us know what you think!
The "customize NPC" interface has gotten some updating, and now separates the possible options under different categories. Please note that the Hair category and interface is not in its final form and will get some updating as we head toward public release next week.
As always, keep an eye on the student lounge in Discord for updates, or just refresh the early access download page periodically.
To report bugs or other issues, please use the bug-reports-ea channel (or just bug-reports) in the Discord. If you prefer not to use Discord, you can also message me on this platform.
Please find your early access link after the changelog!
Release notes
NPCs may now carry their own sex toy selection with them
Their sex toy choices depend on their inclinations and orientation — for example, lesbian NPCs are more likely to carry strap-ons
Added an option under Content Options that enables NPCs bringing sex toys to encounters, which is on by default
Added new location images for places around campus that reflect the current season (contributed by HeartsDmise)
Added a small optional alternate branch to the milkshake story conclusion that better accommodates lesbian PCs
A truly crucial change: Toenails and fingernails are no longer hidden by sandals and fingerless gloves and the like
Added a new UI for NPC customization that breaks things down into separate categories and uses dropdown options rather than clickable choices
Added the X-cross and sex bench from the library basement as proper furniture definitions that can be used as room contents for encounters

Added a partner swap event to the basement library set

still unsure as how to access library basement

Yes, 0.7.6b added some animated elements to the sidebar. I'll talk about them a little more in the dev diary tomorrow! 0.7.6c was just a hotfix for one critical error.
Johnny Cashless
@Anthaum - any chance of an indication of the changes made with 7.6b and 7.6c? Because I notice the time ticker is moving distinctively now, and it's pretty cool.
Hugo Trainor
I hope we can do a group hangout at the bowling alley. The same at the arcade would be fun as well! Even group picnics! The fun never stops!
Marcus
Great Work, but why is every NPC very attrative? Is it a bug or is my PC blind?
Cyryos
Looking great so far, any plans to bring in a bowling club ? Functionally it could be the same as sporting events with 4 person teams. It might be a good way for the MC to have more interactions with townies. A nice cash prize wouldn't be bad either
Cyryos
Yes I got the same error code on the new Bowling Alley. You can brute force through it for now, it looks like the new scenes are bugged for now.
JB
Love the new customisation window, much better UI to use! However anyone else having issues with browser crashes when using the dropdowns?
Theyeti
Do enough of the library extra credit tasks - and I'm not sure but I believe you might need some points in compliance and/or assertiveness as well?
Tokyo
Glorious work on things I didn't even think of that will definitely and exponentially boost the experience playing the game. As always you are absolutely incredible (hence why I will continue paying for highest tier). Two things: -Is it possible to have threescore as an option for some situations? I sometimes have multiple friends in a group hangout and I think it would be cool, especially if I've messed around with all of them, to just go ahead and start messing around with each other. -I would love rumors and viral videos to have more of an impact on the events on campus. Possibly someone recording a groping on the bus is sent around the school and shown to me and others know that I'm okay with that or somn.
Mia
Has anyone else been having error codes pop up when trying to go on dates after downloading the update?
GothamRose
Isn't that basically the same event as the dryer?
Muhaimin
how to get the basement library storyline
oldranger
Awesome stuff as always, Anthaum (and contributors)! Thank you for all your hard work!
Nemurusuki
Idea: 1) Bowling alley. 2) Job. 3) Getting stuck in a machine. 4) Co-worker finds you. 5) ???
GothamRose
I don't think I've seen the names CGeorge and Rfpnj before so Welcome and thank you for your hard work!!
