The offering box and tinctures.
🕑 Added 2023-06-12 12:45:03 +0000 UTCI never really liked the way the patron edition cheats were implemented in Succubus Stories. Instead of doing something like that again, Hex will instead feature the offering box. At the chapel where the player ends up living, there is an offering box that a mysterious benefactor (me) leaves items in. Patrons will be able to claim these items/sets of items once per playthrough from the offering box. As new game updates come out, or as you move through the story, new things will be added to the box.
For example, after completing a few story missions, you may come back to find additional sets of tinctures and more money you can claim in the box. These are still cheat-y items, but they're a little less crazy and game breaking than just letting you set your stats or inventory however you want, and it allows me to tailor both the base game experience and the cheat-y game experience with a little more control. Also, of course, patrons who don't want to cheat can instead totally ignore the offering box altogether.
One type of item you'll get a lot from the offering box are tinctures. Tinctures are potions you can use that basically grant character growth. There are tinctures that grant combat XP, tinctures that grant skill points, and even tinctures that grant sexual experience to help you unlock new moves more quickly.
I think this will be a much better system than cheats, though the game console will still exist and be usable for players that prefer to go nuts and cheat in a more egregious way.

I like the sound of both the offering box and the tinctures!
