Hey there, everyone!

As we keep on pace with our new release schedule, the latest version of In Her Own Hands (version 0.5.2) is now available to the public!

The official Walkthrough and Scene Guide has already been released for the updated game and is available for Patrons at the "Delight Me" ($9) level and higher. Our game guide is now up to 48 pages... and while we can't show you any spoilers, we've given you a peek of two inside pages below.

Public download (v. 0.5.2):   Attached with this email or see   Itch.io game page

This update focuses on three things: the relationship with Bobby, exploration of the "back yard," and daily events in Becca's apartment. We completely reimagined the progress of Becca's "roommate with benefits" relationship with Bobby, incorporating a new "first scene" with specific keys to unlock it. If you already discovered the late-night encounter with Bobby while he was sleeping, the new events will still be available, but in a slightly different way. Be sure to update your saved games using the TitKok app! Of course, if you want to encounter all of the new content as intended, you can also start from the beginning.

You might notice that the file size has significantly increased. This is due to the addition of media, primarily in new scenes or alternate media choices around the apartment. To put it into context, the most recent previous update (0.5.1a) contained 1,479 images/videos, for a total compressed file size of about 368.5 MB. This new update contains 1,892 images/videos, for a total compressed file size of about 474.4 MB! Many of these are new media and text acknowledging different wardrobe choices when doing different activities around the apartment, including interacting with the boys. There are also a couple of randomly appearing "special" sexy scenes. We will be continuing to expand these over the next few updates, as well as adding in similar variety outside the apartment and around the city!

As always, if you find any errors or bugs that managed to sneak past us, please post them in the #Bug-Reporting board on Discord, message us directly here on Patreon, or email us at bugs@surprisedelightme.com. A description and/or screenshot, as well as the save game file of the game in which the error occurred, will help us locate and fix the error. Thanks!

Enjoy!
