Hey adventurers! The time has finally come to open the doors (and portals) to the newest version of Leather & Madness: Through the Portal! 

🌀 We’ve been hard at work, and we’re thrilled to bring you hours of new content that will immerse you even deeper into the world of mystery, desire, and madness. Buckle up, because there’s a lot to unpack in this release!

Here’s a breakdown of what’s new and exciting:

🗺️ Four New Realms to Explore: That’s right, four entirely new realms have been added to the game! Each realm is brimming with unique events, terrifying monsters, and special cards that will help you uncover more of the plot swirling around the portal that mysteriously appeared in the club. These realms are essential to advancing the story and each one holds secrets you won’t want to miss!

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 26 Characters: We’ve boosted the roster of characters to a total of 26! Most of them have those special scenes we know you love to unlock 😉. Many of the faces will be familiar if you played the first part of the game, but several are brand new, ready to make their mark in the twisted world of the club. Each character brings their own flair, personality, and... let’s say unique abilities to your adventure.

💼 New Inventory & Flirting Systems: It’s time to get personal. We’ve added two brand new systems to deepen your experience: Inventory and Flirting. Now, you can charm your way into the hearts (and more) of different characters by giving them gifts they love and learning about their quirks. The dialogue during flirting scenes changes each time, allowing you to dive deeper into their backstories – and even learn more about your own character’s mysterious past.

But be careful! The further you progress in a romance, the more challenging it becomes to please their increasingly specific desires. If you’re stuck, hop over to our Discord and share tips with the community. Remember, you can only take relationships to a certain level, with new levels unlocking as you advance in the main story. And trust us, the rewards are well worth the effort. Check out each character's profile after you’ve wooed them to unlock their rewards!

🏗️ Club Expansion & Character Development: As the story progresses, you’ll unlock the ability to expand the club, recruit new staff, and even get yourself a mentor. Every choice you make will influence your character’s stats, and the club’s atmosphere will shift to reflect the strengths and weaknesses of each new realm you visit. Adapt your strategy to fit your needs, and watch the club grow into something truly unique.

🎥 First-Ever Animated CGs: After listening to your feedback on Discord, we’re excited to introduce something special—our first-ever animated CGs! We’re trying this out with the first two CGs, and we’re eager to hear what you think. Do you like the added flair? Let us know!

⚠️ A Quick Note About Bugs: Now, we fully expect there to be some bugs in this version. We didn’t want to delay the release any longer, and you’ll find out why soon enough (spoiler: there’s a little surprise waiting for you). As we discover any issues, we’ll be patching the game regularly. Huge shoutout to Demetrion for offering to assist with testing and quality checks. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Since we’ve made significant progress in developing the game’s core systems, future updates should be more frequent. These updates will not only fix bugs but also add even more content to keep the game evolving.

🎃 Surprise Event: "Orktober" and "Locktober" Mini-Adventure: Now, for the surprise! To celebrate the spooky month of October, we’ve added a special limited-time mini-adventure in honor of the "Orktober" and "Locktober" events. You’ll only be able to unlock this special content during the month of October, so make sure to jump in and experience it before it’s gone.

This adventure is a bit of an experiment for us, so we’d love to hear what you think. Would you like to see more mini-stories like this added to the game? Your feedback will help shape future content!

🔍 A Few Tips: To get the most out of the story, we recommend paying close attention to the clues and instructions that come your way. The world of Leather & Madness is full of twists, and if you’re not careful, you could find yourself hopelessly lost. But isn’t that part of the fun? 😉

We can’t wait for you to dive in, explore the new realms, flirt with new (and old) characters, and uncover even more about the mysterious portal. Be sure to join the conversation on Discord, share your progress, and let us know what you think of this huge update!

Much love, The PuppyDragon 🐉💜
