Soooo, I haven't updated the itch version of I Hate You, Please Suffer in a while. and now's the perfect time.

But first, let's cover the latest update that was put on Steam. Ever play Fishing Minigame 2? Well, the latest update on Steam stuffs that game into this one! Fishing Minigame 2 is the first game I made for the shared Slimes/I Hate You, Please Suffer universe, and now, you can dig into it without downloading a separate thing! 

With some edits, commentary from the IHYPS cast, and some lore changes to be more consistent with this game, play as an adventurer that desperately needs a break getting sidetracked by a fishing minigame! There are 4 main endings, 21 side ones... and a whole new one that serves as an epilogue for Fishing Minigame 2 and a certain IHYPS character.

Fishing Minigame is accessible through an arcade machine at that break room floor in the third stratum. Once you get at least one ending, an NPC will spawn in the foyer of the third stratum that can take you straight there for a price.

And now, a long list of smaller things added to this game:

Battles Changes:

  • Emperor and Judgement can properly only be used in battle
  • Fixed Kyrie's Calm Down and the Hanged Man's skill.
  • Jasper's Gun Whip was learned but wasn't usable because I had the skill set for the wrong class, in earlier versions..
  • If you have :) active, enemies get a massive buff at 10 turns to discourage money farming. That's moved up to 13 now, under the consideration that maybe you're just having a tough time.
  •  Buffed endgame Tower route bosses a bit more, for the sake of making the buying out of lease route more tempting.
  • If you have Good Vibrations active and have Jasper in your party, enemies instead get Gooder Vibrations, which raises their stats alongside giving an extra turn, since a four member party that can act twice can effortlessly blitz enemies before they can even act once.
  • On the alternate route you get a substantial stat boost at some point. However, you also unlock a means to freely get more stats, so I decided to remove that little stat boost.

Quality of Life (yeah I care about this sometimes)

  • To go along with the saves added to the lighthouse, leaving the lighthouse secretly gifts you money if you're below fare so you could safely call a ride home to prevent dying on the way home and leaving you stuck in a potentially softlocked game.
  • Ambush encounters disappear during briefing at the harbor so nothing can potentially interrupt the cutscenes.
  • You can now make multiples of drinks at the bar thanks to helpful work by LeonTheNeedledRilou.
  • Added a little warning clarifying that you're getting locked into the alt route.
  • The ambush that happens in front of the church has also been placed a bit farther to balance out possibly getting softlocked after the save you get from spiritual healing. Get running.
  • Originally you miss out on the cutscene you'd get from the reward for finishing up the Four Heavenly Rat Kings arc if you saw the main quest all the way through. Because I was proud of that cutscene you can now access an edited version of it in the Waking Stones since Ramona's apartment is no longer available for it.


    • Fixes:

  • Can't get bounty office info on a few guys that get got offscreen.
  • Game now properly asks you whether or not you want to buy the hint for The Controller, so now Patrick no longer robs you in return for unsolicited advice.
  • Party properly reappears after disappearing for a cutscene.
  • Box on monster trafficking quest now only properly appears when you get worst outcome on quest.
  • Seeing the Illusion Shrine all the way through will also give you the gift for Jasper if you had reached that point without recruiting Jasper.
  • Rideshare should work again after beating the final boss of the Illusion Shrine
  • Forgot to actually give the player Life Insurance if they achieve it, but really, isn't that true to the real life insurance experience?
  • Forgot to actually remove the Rare Game from inventory when you lose it to important circumstances, that should be fixed now.

    • Additions

    • A whole bunch of small talk things for Sheya and Trish reacting to things in your inventory.
