It once again continues the building on our fourth arc to get a shot at deep development.

Meanwhile, another woman on East Street makes a ruckus, and it’s Frankie of all people? Yes it is! Just what can be so important in her life that Noe has to drop everything…?

Important! Please know that this is our first release of NTR since we were forced by upcoming technical limitations to rebuild the core coding of the game. This means every scene and every gameplay outcome had to be recoded and it is possible that this may affect the play experience via loading times and image faults. We have done our best to test this and eliminate issues, but we can’t test everything on all platforms ourselves. Please let us know if trouble occurs as we’ll be working with this issue in versions to come as needed. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Noemi’s Toscana Rebirth v0.18 – “Anger, Bargaining and Depression”
Once again our new time with Noe’s includes a booster set of 15 full days in her life. The Sal arc is now 11 scenes, with 2 distinct paths taking form with an exclusive scene each, becoming the first arc with developed dual paths so far! It’s all Noe’s doing, now she has to live with her choices. Meanwhile, the Frankie arc gets it’s first bump up in some time, becoming the first of the other Team Noe girls to reach 3 scenes deep. More and more we get the deeper we go, so let’s go some more!

⦁ ~23,500 New Words of Text and Dialogue
- Features
⦁ Continuation of the Sal arc, it’s third time as the major focus and the fourth arc to be majorly developed, now up to 11 scenes total and growing. These scenes are now split over 2 distinct and mutually exclusive paths, meaning two paths of 10 scenes each (9 in common). From here, these paths will further diverge with time.
⦁ The pick-up and continuation of Frankie’s arc as it becomes the secondary focus. This side character’s personal story arc now reaches a 3rd scene as we begin to build out world and people around Noemi, as well as the tactical gameplay more with new content incentives.
Reminder! To unlock Frankie arc scenes you must use her to earn her own tips via the Waitress task during the Restaurant Manager sections!
⦁ Expansion of the Restaurant Manager section with new gameplays, including the first set of unlockable Lv3’s for the Entertainment job. These outcomes are a new level of booster, with better tip bonuses and more stress reduction possible. Best of all, they are sexier to see, and the sexiest of the Entertain tasks attainable so far! Also included are the second (and so far final) Lv3 set of Waitress tasks as well, meaning higher tip days are even more likely (as much as 33% chance per day once unlocked!). Also added are new Lv1 Promo task outcomes for attacking Sal, unlocked on game start. The Nerve Unlock UI has been updated to reflect these updates.
⦁ A completely rebuilt game core to handle the storage, loading, and display of CG images (both Scene CG and Gameplay Outcomes) to pre-empt a now known bug within the Unity Engine that affects games of 4 GBs or more. This means CGs are more dynamically loaded as the game is running, which in turn may mean some longer load times in some cases. Please understand just how important and deep reaching this change is, and so we may experience growing pains with the next few versions. Better it’s done now than later when it’s forces on us however.
- Community Feedback
⦁ A further rebalanced game from top to bottom, using first hand play experience and players feedback both. We’ve made a number of small tweaks and changes for this version, the most notable of which are focused around the Entertain daily task. As of now:
- Each point in Open Mind now adds +$1 to the day’s tips to a max for 20 points, on top of each outcome’s range of gains for the day. This is up form +$1 for every 2 points, making it x2 an effective bonus, as well as making each and every point upgrade in a girl’s Open Mind worth something at last. Stress Point reduction is untouched a -1 Stress for each other working girl per 4 points of Open Mind.
- The ranges of Stress Relief for Entertain outcomes for both Reactive Fails (Defending a non-existent trap) and for Sal’s Trap hits have both been reduced to better balance their effects as they were too liberal compared to Good Outcomes.
⦁ We’ve updated the previous version’s headline scene “Let’s Make a Deal” (Sal’s Scene #9) with improved texts, both to fix typos and improve some elements of phrasing and description. All-in-all we’ve updated several dozen nodes in part or fully for a better scene. Thanks to Zhuang Zi Hu Die for the help with this.
⦁ We’ve fixed a small but slightly annoying issue in the Day Planner where the button label was too short on some screen sizes, making the text wrap the last letter below the button itself. This small touch should better reflect a more professional product now. Please let us know if it persists, won’t you? Thanks to Art for reporting this!
⦁ As always, we’ve taken more passes on scenes to update and fix typos sent in by players. We’ve fixed anther scene or two of mismatched portraits for Noe’s tank top vs bolero in the early game. Thanks for the notice to a number guys and gals!
⦁ We've updated a Frankie promo (Proactive Good #1) outcome to reflect the correct outfit portrait.
- Known Issues
⦁ There is an issue with Mac OS's Catalina which is not addressable by us on the developer side, but can be worked around on the user's end. "Problem is specifically with the guardian system that won't let un-noterized applications run on Catalina. The solution is to chmod -R 777 "/appdirectory/" from the terminal as the application did not have the executable flag set. (Example: chmod -R 777 ~/Desktop/NoemisToscanaRebirth_v0_17_Mac). After this guardian catches it and control clicking on the app lets it be opened." Repeat: Then you've got to CONTROL+Click (not double click like normal). That should allow the app package to run, if not, please tell us!
⦁ A few versions ago, we altered the way in which Repeat scenes are found and loaded in the Downtime section, as we eliminated a bug that allowed the game to skip over the next outcome in the activity chain if you already met the conditions for later ones. This means now players will see them in order as they should, however it may also mean that occasionally you will see the current repeatable 1 extra time more than needed if you increase the corresponding stats via scenes. It is a minor nuisance, but one we will look to correct in the future. For now, you may see a handful of repeatable 2-3 times instead of 1-2, rather than skip any.
We are thrilled to report that there are no other known issues at this time. Please do inform us via message or our Discord server if you do come across any, we sincerely mean that.
