Course of Temptation November Update (v0.7.3)
🕑 Added 2025-11-07 12:48:34 +0000 UTC
Hello friends! It's time for the November update!
This update's main focus is the addition of a new seasonal event: No Goon Gourdtober, wherein some of the college students challenge themselves, and each other, to go the whole month without an orgasm. It won't be easy, as temptations abound. You can participate for a chance at bonus inclinations, or attempt to spoil their run to gain Composure. New unique events are scattered throughout the month.
In addition, to support this event, we've added edging mechanics (a deferred orgasm now tends to be more satisfying) and chastity devices (which you can use yourself, or be gifted by a dom). Hee Ho has also added in a couple new clothing shops and added some new distinguishing features and other stuff.
We're also testing a new feature: You can now export your character after character generation, right before starting a new game, and then in the future, import that character when starting a new game. If this seems to be working well, we'll experiment with it more in the future... exporting NPCs for later reuse in customization, exporting your PC to use as an NPC in a future game, and stuff like that.
Also, a heads up: I'm taking a bit of time off (my first days off since May, besides weekends), so there won't be a dev diary next week. We'll be on track to deliver a December update at the usual time, so besides that, you won't notice much difference.
If you're not aware, we're maintaining two parallel development cycles:
The monthly update might contain new event sets, new locations, or new mechanics, but usually focuses on extending existing content or polishing existing systems. It comes out once a month with whatever we got done in that time period... hence the name!
The roadmap update checks off one or more items on the roadmap, adding extensive new mechanics and a bunch of related new events in one go, often fundamentally changing how the game can be played. It usually takes multiple months.
As always, my gratitude to the volunteer contributors who added to this update, and to the supporters who make this project possible.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy!
Release notes
Added a seasonal event known as No Goon Gourdtober, this universe’s take on No Nut November, where participating NPCs (usually the college students, though not all of them) will pledge to not orgasm all month
There are several new events unique to this event, particularly if the PC is participating
Encounters can still proceed as normal for participants, but have different end conditions — your participating partners will be content with edging
Temptations will be frequent, and chances to fail will tend to multiply the longer you’ve gone without orgasm
The consequences of failing — the fact you’ll have to tell your friends you’re out — lead to slightly easier Willpower checks when it comes to resisting orgasm during this time
You’ll end up with a designated rival (usually a fuckbuddy, or at least a potential one) during this time who makes it their mission to outlast you, with several events attached
Making somebody else break their No Goon Gourdtober oath is quite satisfying and will restore some Composure
Once No Goon Gourdtober has ended, participating NPCs will be very eager to break their dry spell — participating NPCs will be more receptive to sex than usual until they’ve had an orgasm, and there are unique events attached to this as well
Succeeding in lasting through the whole month will grant you a unique inclination — Tantric Willpower, which makes the easier orgasm resistance of No Goon Gourdtober permanent
Failing to last for the whole month but making a good attempt (at least ten days) will grant you a unique inclination — Eager, which grants more Satisfaction for an orgasm achieved without edging
Additionally, you can choose unique reward inclinations for participating — two inclinations for succeeding, or one for at least making a good attempt (at least ten days) (using suggestions from Hee Ho)
The number of times you’ve edged is now tracked and results in greater satisfaction once you finally orgasm
Added the Edgemaster inclination, which makes it easier to edge and grants additional Satisfaction when you do
Added chastity devices which block sexual contact with your bits, lest you be tempted
Especially dominant partners may wish to decree that you wear a chastity device that they hold the key to
Hats have been recategorized from accessories to a new hats category of their very own
The swimwear shop Dr. Cuttlefish has been fully implemented, as well as a new shoe shop known as Bootlicker (contributed by Hee Ho)
Added several new clothing items at these new shops and others, such as swim googles, skirts with pockets, a transparent graphic top, and more (contributed by Hee Ho)
Added several weird exclusive items, including drinks and sex toys, to Dr. Cuttlefish (contributed by Hee Ho)
Added other various new things, including tattoos, hairstyles, and books, found at the usual places (contributed by Hee Ho and Meat Glacier)
Updated outfits for NPCs with conservative style for consistency and variety (contributed by Hee Ho)
Added several new distinguishing features, mostly PC-only (contributed by Hee Ho)
The Character dialog and its various tabs have been rearranged slightly
Added a Reputation tab to the Character dialog
Added hangout/date and virginity memories to the Character dialog
Your player character’s major is now displayed in the College dialog
Most of the clothing stores in town now have dressing rooms where you can manage your outfit
Dressing rooms are also new suitable quickie locations in case there’s anybody hanging out in these shops that you want to “catch up” with
Added direct links to and from your bedroom in Greek houses
You may now choose to wash only your dirty clothes. The future is here!
Added the Hard to Resist inclination, granted for making several people lose No Goon Gourdtober, which makes it more difficult for NPCs to resist orgasm around you
Added an event where an NPC may be interested in swapping one of your clothing items for one of theirs (contributed by noonycurt)
Added the ability to export your character after setting it up in either the prologue or quickstart, and to import that character again in subsequent new games
Many fixes and tweaks
A reminder that if you participated in early access, that version will no longer be updated until the next early access period — it's time to move to the public version!

What browser are you using? I've been trying to track this one down... I even got a save from somebody experiencing the error and I still wasn't able to reproduce it

I play the game on the itch app and I keep getting the same issue in every save where my character can't open any wardrobe or change clothes due to an error :(
