By MindWare 0.3.9 is now out publicly for everyone. The main new content in this update is Ray’s feminizing-pill quest, which can be approached in two different ways. You can either swap his COLOSSAL JOLT for harmless magnesium capsules, a placebo that’s intended to just take the booster out of his system, or you can listen to AVA and go all the way with estrogen pills.
If you have followed the game for a while, you may remember the Panacea psychiatrist. Her content was cut about a year ago, and it returns in this update in an edited form that, I believe, fits the main story better. To meet the psychiatrist, you need to take the feminization route with Ray.
There are currently three appointments with the psychiatrist available in the game. They include a reworked version of the original “babecock” minigame, which is now more interactive.
Besides Ray’s feminizing-pill quest, you can also apply to become a HiveClean employee. There’s an online form and an aptitude test, followed by an interview in person at the new Hive Properties HQ. To access this content, you need to have finished the second complementary service with the HiveClean maid (or the bonus path you get for turning her down). A few days later, HiveClean emails you about their expansion, and your name is apparently on their list. The questline currently ends after the interview, and the maid training itself is what I’m building next.
Other changes in this update:
- Trix’s apartment: repeat visits now include a conversation about her transition and your hidden connection to AVA, once the supply-closet storyline at BrainFry is over.
- Countdown badges: tasks that wait on a date now show the days remaining in the task panel.
- Aegis fixes: Scan 2 no longer completes before its story has finished, and an unfinished results visit can be resumed from the hideout. Both repairs work on older saves.
- Navigation: required chats can no longer be escaped with the history buttons.
- Fetish notifications have a cleaner card design.
- Bug tracker got a security pass, and the supporter privacy policy was updated.
- Dozens of smaller fixes and typo corrections from the last two months of bug reports.

What’s Next
My main priority right now is making the next physical body change stage available, so that’s what I’m focusing on. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of cleanup and prep work that has to happen first for it to work well, but I’m getting there, slowly but surely.
At the same time, I’ll keep expanding whichever questline or activity in the game interests me the most at the moment. You can find my broad, occasionally updated to-do list here.
Thank you for playing, and thank you to my supporters for making it possible. Enjoy the update!
