So over 100 days passed, explored everywhere in the town (including spamming explore for days), worked every job, bought all the info from Gareth with gold, amassed over 10k gold. Anyway way to leave the town or advance if you absolutely don't want to hook up with Rorik or Gareth?
Thanks for playing! This game is in super early stages. So at the moment, no. Next month has a map update that will introduce new locations within the town and characters (non-interactable) and random events, and future updates will build those characters out, add more events, etc. Eventually, locations outside the town will be created.
Thanks for responding (and so quickly, too). I hadn't realized I'd hit the end of content as an issue I run into with a fair number of NSFW games is the author has the mindset "it's hot, why wouldn't you want get the lewds?"--particularly in IF--which can result in a wall on progression if you don't want to see it. Always nice to hear the player will have the autonomy to avoid it.
