Ooops! I don't know how I missed it.
TOTDC stands for Tales of the Drunken Cowboy. It's the game I made before Caliross. It used an engine for text adventures (RAGS), but it's not that far from Caliross conceptually. It's kind of an adventure/RPG hybrid, you have turn based combats, all sorts of puzzles, some traits that affect your choices (although in TOTDC I didn't really have "sexy" traits, and you picked 3 out of 5 at the start of the game) and so on. It's a sci-fi game (The Drunken Cowboy is the name of the spaceship) and you go around with an all-female crew, with mind-control as the main fetish.
New lore about the spider lady is hard to include in the libraries, since you already have to research her species and they are a bit of a mystery in the world of Caliross. I could certainly add more about the pantheon. As for individuals, do you just mean Erica should write something in her journal after meeting important figures, or is it for love interests?
I'll look into blocking the scenes from advancing if the text is hidden. The scene repeater is sadly too much of a pain to add, given that I didn't originally plan for it, and now the scenes are spread around hundreds of events in dozens of maps, and I'd have to manually find each one, strip the code out of the scenes and then figure out how to track which ones are unlocked... It's not impossible, but it would take a few months of doing just that, which isn't ideal.
