SPITE: Taking the Boss's Wife, Sister and Mother news & patch notes

Important Notes

Thank you all so much for your continued support. To be honest, this game has achieved far more than I originally expected. That has been a huge encouragement for me, but it has also brought a lot of pressure. As a solo indie developer, I have kept asking myself: does the game’s current quality truly deserve everyone’s support? Can I continue making content that satisfies you? Apus was created under that pressure. I really wanted to do her justice, so during development I repeatedly scrapped and reworked her concept, story, and mechanics, adjusting the direction again and again. This also caused the update, originally planned for last week, to be delayed until this week. I am very sorry for this delay, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Next, I will continue improving the game experience, especially the smoothness of some H scenes. The live voice acting plan I previously mentioned on Discord will also continue moving forward, and I will share more information once the preparation is more complete. I am always working to make the game better. Thank you for your support.

New content is coming later this week, including:

1. Added a harem H-scene for the Happy Ending.

2. Added a new H-scene for Julienne.

3. Added French and Vietnamese translations.

4. Fixed several bugs.

I sincerely apologize for the delay of this update. I bought a Steam Deck specifically to test and resolve the inconvenience experienced by Steam Deck users. However, I ended up getting addicted to playing other H-games on it...such as FUTA FUCKS FEMBOYS and Warrior of Lust. You can grab these great games at a discount through the bundle!

The next major update will arrive at the start of the Summer Sale. It will feature a new heroine and a new ending~

Update:

1. Swapped out the core engine. This should finally fix the strange launch and runtime issues some players were experiencing.

2. Steam Overlay should now work.

3. Added the H-scene for Helena's "Call Helena Mom" ending.

4. Improved translations in several languages.

5. Fixed several bugs.

A quick apology.

I originally planned to update two endings this week, with exclusive H-scenes for both the "Call Helena Mom" ending and the Happy Ending. However, I spent extra time figuring out how to fix the stutter during H-scene loops, so the Happy Ending harem H-scenes will have to move to next week. I'm very sorry, and I hope you can understand.

I do think the time was worth it. In Helena's new H-scene, you should be able to feel that playback is much smoother now. This also means future H-scenes will be much smoother from the start. Next week, I will also fix the loop stutter in older H-scenes.

Next week's update preview:

1. Happy Ending harem H-scenes.

2. A new H-scene for Julienne.

3. Fixes for older H-scenes with rough looping.

4. French and Vietnamese translations.

Fixed several UI layout issues in Russian.

1. After completing Cherin, Bonnie, and Helena's routes, you can now continue having sex with them.

2. Fixed an issue where sex scenes after completing Sia's route had no sound effects.

3. After completing Sia's, Julienne's, or Helena's route, you can enter her room directly without needing a lockpick or waiting for her to leave.

Note: New room scenes have not been added yet, so you will not see them in their rooms for now. These scenes are planned for a June update.

4. Fixed several bugs.

This update mainly focuses on system and mechanic changes, so it does not add much new story content. Starting in June, new content will be added every week. Please look forward to it!

Fixed an issue where some localized text displayed the protagonist’s default name instead of the name entered by the player. This was especially noticeable in parts of the Korean localization, and we also checked other languages for the same issue.

Fixed an issue where some players were unable to save their game.

To make things easier for players who prefer a story-focused experience, achievement hunters, and everyone preparing for the major content update coming in June, we have added a new minigame skip feature.

New game content will start production in June! Join our Discord server to share your thoughts!

P.S. The new content will be completely free!

This is our first time attempting to add new gameplay elements outside of a pure visual novel, so there are bound to be some oversights regarding stat balancing and minigame difficulty. We truly hope you can understand—our original intention in making this game was definitely not to torture you!

Since we deeply understand that every player has different preferences for game pacing, we highly encourage everyone to use the built-in cheat menu to customize your own experience. In future updates, we will continue to expand the cheat menu's features so you can freely adjust the female protagonist's stats to your liking.

We’ve significantly reduced the difficulty of Dog Duty and increased its rewards:

1. The catch zone has been significantly enlarged.

2. Dog Duty now only requires 5 throws, so you can press J once during the minigame to activate HUNT TIME and clear it quickly.

3. Each successful throw now awards 500 Money, each failed throw now grants 10 SPITE, and Jinny now loses 2 Dignity per failed throw instead of 1.

Dog Duty was originally designed to be fairly difficult on purpose. The idea was to highlight how arrogant the Lee family’s dog is, and to encourage players to deliberately fail the minigame in order to progress Jinny’s route. This update streamlines the minigame and puts that choice in your hands. That said, I still recommend progressing Jinny’s route as early as possible and collecting extra money from the rooms of the three Lee women.

Hi everyone,

If you are playing on Linux or Steam Deck, please hold off on buying the game for now. If you have already purchased it and cannot run it, we highly recommend you apply for a refund first.

The native Linux version is already packaged and currently in testing. Our launch discount will last for 14 days, so you can safely repurchase the game within the discount period once the Linux version passes verification and goes live.

Sorry for the trouble, and thank you for your patience!

Hi everyone,

First off, we want to sincerely apologize for delaying the game for a second time. After our last internal playtest, it was clear the game needed a bit more polish, so we took some extra time to fix things up. Better late than never! Thank you so much for sticking with us and for your patience. We really hope you enjoy playing SPITE.

We also have a few exciting things to share for launch week:

We've partnered with The Cheated Man's Revenge for a special crossover! You can now trigger some hidden Easter egg storylines right inside the game. There is also a special bundle available on the store page, so you can grab both games with an extra 11% off.

And this launch is just the start. We'll be updating the game with more H-content within the very first month. If you want to vote on which scenes or storylines we add next, head over to our Discord and let us know what you want to see!

A quick note on translations: the Spanish and French versions are temporarily delayed. The initial translation quality wasn't quite where we wanted it to be, so we are currently doing a full proofread and cleanup. We'll patch those languages in as soon as they're ready—thanks so much for understanding.

Thank you again for all your incredible support. Enjoy the game!

Steam Approved!

We have a quick update regarding our launch. We've hit a slight issue with the Steam review process.

Because of this, the release of SPITE: Taking the Boss's Wife, Sister and Mother will be delayed just a bit.

The good news is that we are monitoring our submission closely. The absolute second we get the final green light from Steam, we will hit the launch button.

If you haven't already, please make sure to wishlist the game. Steam will automatically send you an email notification the moment we go live, so you won't miss the drop.

Thank you for your patience and support. We'll see you at launch!
