Happy Endings news & patch notes

What's coming

• WORKER TRAITS — every hire can roll quirks: VIP DARLING, QUICK HANDS, EXHIBITIONIST, IRON BACK and 11 more. Two same-tier hires are never the same girl again.
• MORALE — nonstop work tires a girl out (slower, worse tips), rest brings her back. Send her on a break, flip the front-desk sign to CLOSED to rest the whole roster, or grab the new SHIFT MANAGER Legacy perk to automate it. Low morale never makes anyone quit.
• SUSPICION REWORK — the heat meter is now risk vs. reward. Ride it past 50% and customers pour in faster... but let it hit 100% and the Guild seizes your safe and locks the parlor down while they sweep it.
• AURELIA, THE LEGENDARY HIRE — a one-of-a-kind golden girl who can turn up at the Hire desk if you're lucky. Hand-animated, with five exclusive scenes only she can learn.
• MUSIC SHOP — five new chill-out tracks to buy for your parlor with your hard-earned cash, alongside the classic theme. Your collection survives rebirth.
• STYLE — 10 hairstyles plus new NINJA and MAID outfits, on top of per-girl colors and dyes.
• FAVORITE SCENES — star any learned scene per girl in the COACH menu, and she'll perform only what you starred. Decide who does what.
• RENAME YOUR GIRLS — right from their card.
• MONTHLY LEADERBOARD — the board now has ALL-TIME and THIS MONTH tabs, with monthly resets.
• QUALITY OF LIFE — scene censoring removed entirely, volume sliders for music/SFX, the game keeps running while minimized, in-game patch notes, and a REPORT BUG button that sends your log straight to us.
• PERFORMANCE & STABILITY — big parlors finally run at full capacity, plus a pile of crash and freeze fixes.

What You Need to Do

Rebirth 7

• Rebirth 7 is here! Reach the new rank to expand Elite parlors from 18 to 25 rooms, with seven additional late-game rooms to purchase and full leaderboard support.

New Outfits & Expressions

• Six new outfits are available: Nurse, Police, Latex Suit, Disco, Pink Latex and Dress V2 — a horned crimson gown with a sweeping cape.
• Eight facial expressions can now be selected independently of outfits: Neutral, Happy, Sad, Angry, Aroused, Flirty, Variant A and Variant B.
• New hires arrive with their own expression. Customize the receptionist with GLAMOUR KIT or hired staff with STAFF GLAMOUR.

Service Scene Audio

• Every service scene now has action and voice sounds synchronized to its animation.
• Only the service scene you're currently watching plays audio, keeping a busy parlor from becoming overwhelming.
• New SEX SFX toggle in Settings: control service-scene audio independently from regular game sounds.

Coaching, Rebirth & HUD Improvements

• New TEACH ALL ELIGIBLE option: teach a scene to every staff member who qualifies in one click, for the normal combined Page cost.
• The Rebirth screen now clearly shows what resets, what survives and exactly what the next run unlocks — including scenes, mechanics and room capacity.
• Your current Rebirth rank is always visible in the HUD, including R0. Hover over it to see your progress toward the next rank.
• Locked Coach ranks now explain exactly how to unlock them.
• The Legacy shop opens automatically after your first Rebirth and groups purchases by how they affect future runs.
• Click the cash display to switch between total cash and completed customers, including your earnings or completion rate over the last five seconds.
• Large Page totals are now abbreviated to keep the HUD tidy, with the exact amount shown in the tooltip.

Fixes & Improvements

• The Rank 4 Coach tree now follows the intended path — Scene 25 can no longer skip Scenes 23 and 24. Existing saves keep every purchased scene, with missing prerequisites restored automatically.
• The customization panel stays the same size while changing outfits or expressions.
• Room request buttons remain visible throughout the popup's closing animation instead of blinking away early.
• The current game version is now shown on both the loading and Settings screens.

Demo Supporter Reward

• Own the demo? The promised reward is here: the Sheer Dress outfit, $50,000 and 1 Legacy Point — granted automatically on your next launch, including for players who already claimed the early thank-you bonus.

New Features

• New STAFF GLAMOUR perk: customize your hired girls! Change each girl's colors and outfit from her room while the shop is closed — every girl keeps her signature look, and RESET COLORS restores it anytime.
• OPEN/CLOSED sign under your parlor name tag: close the shop for some quiet — waiting customers leave, jobs in progress still finish and pay out. Your girls even recover morale while closed.
• New CUSTOMER PACE setting (Relaxed / Default / Fast) — Relaxed means fewer, slower requests with more time to respond.
• New toggles: request popups, upgrade tips, AUTO TRIBUTE (on its perk card) and the FAKE BOOKING DESK (on its Legacy row).
• RESPEC LEGACY: refund your Legacy purchases and re-plan your build — with a warning before spending your final Legacy Points.

Fixes & Improvements

• Chinese, Japanese and Korean text now scales properly with the text-size setting.
• The sheer dress stays translucent when dyed white or gray.
• The Coach screen remembers which girl you were viewing instead of resetting to the receptionist.
• The scene unlock order is verified correct and now covered by automated tests.
• The CLOSE CALL achievement is now earnable — switch AUTO TRIBUTE off and let the heat rise.
• Every stat in the upgrade shop shows its live effect and whether it caps.
• Pages now explain how they're earned and spent, and show when a girl has learned everything.
• Daily rewards scale with your income and rebirths, so they stay worth claiming.
