Hypnosis and Cursed Loot

• New Synapse street encounter, involving Zach and Reyl or random software developers if they have been captured

• New subquests for Vivian & Caspian’s content
• The “Synapse Tether Loop” bracelet increases Fighting, Evasion, Precision Work and Service Tasks, but requires completing a simulation every week to avoid suffering anxiety and lust effects
• If players don’t remove it, in the next encounter the bracelet will lower players’ chances of preventing a new item from being placed
• The “Synapse Social Bit” increases Social helping with the character’s speech, except when it comes to saying “no” to Synapse demands. It also slowly makes players skinnier and has a small filth reduction
• The Synapse Bearing Collar helps with Manual Labor, Lifting and Vigor and reduces exhaustion a bit but makes players progressively shorter
• The Synapse Dermal Veil is a neck marking that makes players progressively paler and no longer has clear advantages
• The Synapse Pulse causes strong electrical currents during orgasm, which increase the electrical fetish
• The Restraint Sheath and Sheath Belt chastity cage and belt progressively reduce the player’s genitals, adapting them to the bio-processor standard body

• The intro is now slightly different for each self-hypno script and players can choose the script
• Rewritten the hypno slavery, pet-play and feminization scripts to make them longer and more intense
• New scripts: slutification, bimbo/himbofication, femdom edging, forced orientation to men and to women, and non-con
