⭐V3 Announced!


Version 3 of Secrets of the Bastion will be publicly available for download starting on August 12th.

-V3 Changelog-

New Content

  • A new room.
  • Portraits for all the main characters.
  • Complete rework of the secret collection system. Rooms can gain levels and become more difficult over time.
  • New lewd events for gym, the library and bedrooms.
  • All seen events can be replayed in gallery.
  • Rework of battle temptations.
  • Rework of the audit screen and system. There is no longer a limit to the gameplay length.
  • 7 new cards (5 collectible, 2 created, 3 lewd).
  • Added lewd card unlock system. One is immediately added to your collection and copies will appear in the shop after seeing an associated event.
  • A new dungeon encounter.
  • Small upgrade to the event system, adding more functionality.

Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements

  • Added "lunchtime" as a 4th time slot. No work can be assigned, but most other actions, including ones that can only be done at night are available. Gifts can also be given if visiting someone who is alone during this time.
  • Activity result is displayed on hover in the scheduling screen when you don't have anyone selected.
  • Streamlined controls in the scheduling and daily log screens (clicking on an occupied room when you don't have anyone selected chooses both a character and a room, right click deselects both, the "proceed" button was removed in daily visit menu).
  • Added an option to give each character a prioritized activity.
  • Added icons for assigned work to the scheduling map.
  • Added stress icons to the visitation menu.
  • Events you have seen in a previous game are shown in silver.
  • Audit number is now displayed on the audit screen.
  • Fixed a bug where info would not always have the most up to date character stats.
  • Fixed a bug with scene playback not correctly resetting after ending the game.
  • Fixed a bug where "Pray" was not counted as Lizzie's card.

Game Balance and Other Changes

Most of these changes are meant to better adjust the game to an infinite length and compensate for the extra stats gained from the addition of lunchtime.

  • All card battle opponents are a little stronger and scale more with each level.
  • Rebalanced various card and room stats.
  • Slightly reduced base stats for all characters.
  • Changed some booster costs, gave the 4th starter deck a very different set of cards.
  • Added a "paperwork" button hittable twice per day to make the game go faster when you have nothing to do and offer some strategic stat recovery.
  • Rebalanced points earned, generally reducing the total since games can now continue for much longer.
  • Lewdness can no longer be gained from regular room actions, amounts gained for temptation and audits were rebalanced. Lust is now the only stat contributing towards room temptation.
  • Touchups to various sprites and bits of dialogue.
