Ruin Me 0.46.0: Sounds and Urges

Hi, perverts! This one took much longer than I hoped; see the recent preview for more info. I'm super glad to have it out!

With this release, you get a redrawn Meg and a new toy scene with her, plus a horror expedition that I suspect a lot of people will find to be the most unsettling one yet. I've also added something to the new expedition that I'd like feedback on: updated transitions!

Since the first release of Ruin Me, travelling between locations has just had a simple fade to black. I'm experimenting with some more interesting animated transitions with this release, at the moment only showing up in the new expedition. Let me know what you think when you play it! I'm down to updating the rest of the game so they're used everywhere, switching to a different sort of animation, or just sticking with the fade and removing them entirely.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, problems, or suggestions!

Version 0.46.0p adds:

• "The Abstruse Synergy" horror expedition, with a tale of parasitic infestation and unreliable perception, available by exploring outside town after the beginning of Act 2. Optional kinks include lactation, group sex, mpreg, birthing, rough sex, and messiness.
• A new play scene with Meg involving urethral sounding. After you've delivered her first package, sounding rods will arrive in the entryway sometime soon after. Once they do, you can speak to Meg in the servants' office to start the scene. While one path through the scene includes some instruction, please do your own research before trying sounding yourself.
• Completely redrawn art for Meg, including new arm poses and props in existing scenes.
• Variations on Meg's conversations in the servants' office for later in game progression.
• A submenu for conversations with Meg to make the servant's office menu more readable.
• Categories for the out-of-town navigation menu to make it more manageable.
• New transitions, currently only used for travel during "The Abstruse Synergy". Feedback on these transitions is welcome!
• A new option in the preferences menu to highlight "sophisticated" content. With this setting active, when you enable kinks using the locked suitcase in your bedroom, they will be bolded and highlighted in a color corresponding to each kink.
• A fix to the "street" background to make it a bit more level and crop out an artifact.
• Minor enhancements and fixes.

It also includes the following changes from 0.45.1:

• Fixes for keyboard controls in (hopefully) all menus; this also standardizes scrollbars to be on the right-hand side. As a side effect, scrollable viewports are no longer draggable, which probably doesn't affect anyone.
• A tweak to "small" layouts (used for phones), making vertical scroll bars wider and easier to use.
• Fix for several issues with modifying player nipple piercings.
• Fix for the random text when having Theresa eat peanut butter off your vulva at breakfast.
• Fix for an issue where Theresa grew a third arm during breakfast.
• Fix for an issue where Iphedia wouldn't say the protagonist's first name.

As patrons, you have access to the Reminisce option in your bedroom, which lets you replay old sex scenes easily. Folks who support at the Center of Attention level get access to an additional cheat menu; the password has not changed.
