Hypnosis and Cursed Loot

* New subquests for Vivian & Caspian’s content
* The “Synapse Tether Loop” bracelet increases Fighting, Evasion, Precision Work and Service Tasks, but requires completing a simulation every week to avoid suffering anxiety and lust effects
* If players don’t remove it, in the next encounter the bracelet will lower players’ chances of preventing a new item from being placed
* The “Synapse Social Bit” increases Social helping with the character’s speech, except when it comes to saying “no” to Synapse demands. It also slowly makes players skinnier and has a small filth reduction
* The Synapse Bearing Collar helps with Manual Labor, Lifting and Vigor and reduces exhaustion a bit but makes players progressively shorter
* The Synapse Dermal Veil is a neck marking that makes players progressively paler and no longer has clear advantages
* The Synapse Pulse causes strong electrical currents during orgasm, which increase the electrical fetish
* The Restraint Sheath and Sheath Belt chastity cage and belt progressively reduce the player’s genitals, adapting them to the bio-processor standard body
