Ok, I've fixed the error you get after meeting the succubus. Simple fix for that one.
I'll look into the issues with going into the forest. I might also consider an interim release after a couple of days of bug fixing, with a final release this weekend.
EDIT: Apparently the forest bug is the exact same thing as the bug you see after following the succubus. I fixed those, and found several others where I accidentally added a close bracket (a ] ) where it shouldn't be. Must have copied and pasted incorrectly.
Anyway, I'll do a bugfix release tomorrow or Weds.

I can no longer work as a dancer in the latest version just shows a script error and no way to continue. Also cannot go home on the first night. I'm on Crome. Apparently Still cant go home on day one in Firefox either.
I just started the game up on an iPad to see what it takes. TWINE (and HTML games in general) are the only easy way to get adult games on iOS.
Very simply, the game is fine, but the delivery system is not. The only thing which might not work is if the game included webm (I don’t know if TWINE can do that), and even then it would just be those movies which don’t work.
If a game is hosted online, there should be no problem. “
You must be registered to see the links
” by Westane is an example of a TWINE game hosted online, and it’s totally fine on the iOS version of Safari.Most iOS browsers can’t download files, and most downloaders can’t unzip files. To download you will need a separate app, like Mega or Dropbox. The Mega app will let you “preview” a zipped file, but not unzip it, so you can play most HTML games without images. Basically, you can view one file in the zip, but there is no file structure created so that file can’t link to any images or anything. The game will run, there just won’t be images.
To unpack a zip, rar, etc. and actually create folders you’ll need another App. I use “Documents” by Readdle. It’s basically a file manager, but it can uncompress things, and it has a web browser. When I unzipped this game in Documents, it works fine. The only problem I’ve run into with Documents is that when a game has a lot of patches (like say, “A Spell for All”) it cant merge folders, so a patch folder with 4 images will overwrite the old folder which had 96 images. The user needs to copy everything to the exact folder where it belongs. (The way “A Spell For All” is organized is particularly easy to break the game if you apply the updates wrong.)
The best thing developers can do to make their games work on iOS is to host them online in some form. That gets around the difficulty of importing porn into Apple’s walled garden.
Since putting the game online is not always a possibility (and these sorts of games are usually a labor of love) Mega and Dropbox are probably the best options for downloads, since they have apps on the App Store and aren’t phishing schemes like most other hosting sites (“Dear Amazon User, you’ve been selected for a free iPad!”). Other than that, the only other thing a developer can do is to always release the complete game as updates instead of expecting the user to patch it.
EDIT — I wanted to add that Patreon complicates things a step further. Attatchements there give JavaScript errors in most iOS browsers, so to download from them I use Aloha browser, then if the file needs to be unzipped I copy it over to Documents. Basically none of this is the fault of a developer and it’s all very opaque because if any of the third parties advertised their apps as being easier ways to put porn on your iPad, they couldn’t be on Apple’s App Store.

Okay...I've specifically tested working as a dancer. The "beginner" dancer scenes all seem to work just fine. Did you try dancing more than 5-6 times, until you got the "novice" placeholder scene?
Also, going home from the forest is currently borked, but going home from Tyrmidon should work. I'll be releasing a fix for going home from the forest in the next day or two.
I would like to report the same error as well. When trying to dance right at the start of the game, I get 2 errors on Chrome.
Error: <<set>>: bad evaluation: Cannot set property 'sleazybar' of undefined
Error: cannot execute macro <<display>>: Story.has title parameter cannot be undefined

I have no idea how you're even getting that error. The "sleazybar" skill isn't even used in the game. It's defined, but never used.
Would you attach a save from IMMEDIATELY before you go into the Service the Tip bar? Just export the save to disk and post it here.

Yes!!
Basically, I had eliminated the "skills" section from the player and the NPCs. Any time a skill needed to be increased, I would check to make sure that the "skills" hash was present first.
Except...I didn't do that for dancing (or any sex act, for that matter).
Apparently I was testing the game in such a way that I was getting the skills hash set before dancing, so I never triggered the bug.
Anyway...I've fixed a number of things so far. Not as far along with bugfixing as I'd like, but I'm going to attach a game version with all of the current fixes.
This has:
- All of the navigation bugs fixed
- The dancing bug fixed
- Combat issues fixed.
Unzip this into the folder with your Tentacle Slave 0.10.5 game. Delete the existing HTML file and use this one instead.
More debugging later!
Fantastic. Glad I could be of help.
Just here to report another error during my alchemist playthrough. When I go into the magic shop (after the scene with alfred), I get these errors:
Error: <<for>>: bad conditional expression: alchemyList is not defined<<for $index=0; $index<alchemyList.length; $index++>>
Error: <<for>>: bad conditional expression: potionList is not defined<<for $index=0; $index<potionList.length; $index++>>

Ok, thanks for the report. I'll have more time to debug later on this evening. By tomorrow evening, I expect to make an actual "interim" release -- updating the main post and everything -- and it'll include the Alchemy fix, plus whatever else I find between now and then.

Ok, I'll fix that in the morning.
Good news! Just finished a massive round of fixes and I'm ready to do another release. It's late tonight, so I'll do that tomorrow morning (after I fix that one last bug you reported).
Would it be possible to be given a debugging/cheat/end game save of the current version? I'm always seeming to not be able to progress past a certain point, and I am curious as to the extent of what can be done in the game itself.

The only trouble with that is, there are multiple ways to progress in the game:
You can choose to be a Hunter, Alchemist, or Sorceress (or in the Patreon version, a Witch too)
You can choose to follow the mysterious woman, or not follow her (leading to vastly different plotlines)
If you choose to follow her, you can choose to gather "pure" ingredients for Keawe (when you finally meet her) or corrupt ingredients, for the bracelet which can protect you from tentacles
You can submit to tentacles enough times that Keawe no longer wants to help you
If you stick with Keawe, you can win or lose against the tentacles when they attack your house
If you don't choose to follow the mysterious woman, you can seek out help from Sensua, from the coven of priestesses of the Old Gods, or from a wizard living in a tower south of the woods -- or even from more than one source!
If you choose to seek help from the coven of priestesses, you can choose which goddess you wish to ally yourself with -- and there are FIVE of them!
There are also a bunch of other side plots which don't impact the main storyline, but do contribute significantly to several scenes. Among them are dealing with bandits in the forest and getting a herm cock from Sensua.
I haven't fully updated the game guide, but you can find a MOSTLY complete guide linked to the first post in this thread.

Umm...that's a major part of this game. It's deliberately heavy on transformation, although a lot of that happens later on in the game.
