Today I bring the gift of chunky new content! Paulette’s new quest occupied over 260 pages of documentation in its raw form, and I’m happy to say that it’s one of the best quests I’ve had the pleasure of doing a bugtesting playthrough on. It packs plenty of unique, TiTS-appropriate enemies, items, and corrupted science themes that tickled my brain in all the right ways. I hope it does the same for you all too.

I want to give a huge shout-out & thank you to Magenta Needle for authoring this opus and Leek for handling the bulk of the coding work on it, and even coding in some niceties behind me as I was working through and polishing rougher spots over the last few days. My primary focus during QA was making sure things completed, didn’t crash, and the texts made sense – so if an encounter is laughably weak or overtuned, be sure to let us know about it!

0.9.154 Hotfix #1:

• Fixed a crashy typo that snuck into Strict9.

0.9.154 Changelog:
