This is an early development build of Power Corrupts, a superhero sim/vn by Double Prolix. Anticipate little content, placeholder art, and bugs. Plenty of bugs.

Still, the hope is that you can see the game's potential as development continues and funding improves. More patreon backers means more time can be spent replacing the placeholder art with actual real commissioned artwork.

Patrons get development builds a version ahead of the public release.

As usual, saves made with previous versions are virtually guaranteed not to work. You are advised to start over - it's not as if there's a tremendous amount of content to play through yet anyway.

After you've finished the first two "issues" and experienced all the events... that's all there is 
to the game. Most of the development time went into creating the simulation framework and 
event-handling code. 

The New Hotness in 0.04 is combat and healing. Should be a bit more robust, though most changes are
behind the scenes.

Skills also work differently, given the new Issue system. You get skill points every issue, and can spend them training to improve your abilities.
