The Hive

Can the game include an AB/DL tag?

The developer has stated that adding such a tag goes against the lore of the game, so it is not included.

Is there new content in version 1.8 for PC?

* All school backgrounds are complete. * Giraffe’s classroom (first morning) and Squirrel’s classroom up until recess are available. * Maddie’s recess interaction now has its conclusion, with potty scenes and potential accidents depending on the teacher chosen or refusal of help too many times. * Lola’s recess interaction is available but the game jumps to the end of the demo afterward. * A new menu tracking June’s underwear, compliance, and reset is integrated (revamped twice). * Compliance variable has been implemented with 45 points total. * Many UI and sound design fixes have been made. * Additional points for the second variable of each character are added. * Some music has been toned down but needs further balancing.

What new content is available in version 1.9 for Windows/Linux?

* New clickable elements in Squirrel Classroom. * A small graphic animation when June gets a good answer in the Giraffe class quiz. * Lola accompanies June to the potty after their recess segment regardless of which teacher is chosen. * The rest of the Squirrel Classroom segment (after recess but before lunch) is complete. * Three secret lunch scenes are available if you click on Ms. Sharpe, the highchair, or the baby rocker three times during lunchtime.

Gameplay Mechanics

• On Day 2, reject two possible options during the 'Unavoidable Midpoint Potty Event' to be able to steal something at night.
• To unlock Maddie’s afternoon segment on Day 3, spend the morning at school in the Giraffe class with her.

Game Experience

• The game's art style is professional and reminiscent of a mix between Summertime Saga and an uncovered town aesthetic.
• Explore different paths to understand the progression stages and lore, as it adds depth beyond surface-level interactions.

Technical Fixes

• The music has been rebalanced in previous segments (Days 1 and 2) to reduce volume levels.
• A thin pixel line around some idle images that interfered with hover states has been removed, improving user interface responsiveness.
