Happy chewsday bruvs, innit. Today I have for you an upd8 that includes yet another new item removal minigame, a set of items that uses it, and a new enemy that dispenses those items.
New balancing minigame: There's a set of scales with weight constantly being added to one side. Add weight to the other side to keep it balanced for a few seconds!
More margin for e...

Cognitor ending is easier, now requires 80 rather than 100 credit
Robo claw is less li...
2025-05-06 15:48:33 +0000 UTC View PostI hear many opinions about this so it's time to get some hard numbers: What do you think of how hard it is to remove items in The Bondage of Eliza?
2025-04-28 15:38:41 +0000 UTC View PostToday's bad news is that there will be no TBOE Tuesday Upd8 this week
Today's good news is that instead there is a Monday Upd8 today
Previously on TBOE: there were added tubes that are occasionally scattered throughout the dungeon. And you gained the ability to bind other slaves, which would give you cult credit.
Now, when you have 100 cult credit and all cog...
2025-04-28 15:35:25 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning everyone, it has been brought to my attention that in the previous upd8, 0011c, melee enemies were consistently failing to apply items to the player.
I have updated the pinned post with a new version 0011cii, that rectifies this.
Also included in this upd8 is some animations on the cognitor mask that I was working on. while I'm doing an off-schedule upd8 I might as well inclu...
Good morning everybody, today I have for you an update which brings the ability to bind other slaves in the dungeon, and a slight impetus to do so. Here's the changes:
Slapping a slave allows binding them with items from your inventory
Enemies now try to bind other slaves
If you are near another slave, enemies will ignore you
Enemies ac...
2025-04-22 07:53:45 +0000 UTC View PostGood chewsday to all, this week I have been ill and so the upd8 is smaller than I would otherwise have liked.
I have been reminded that there's no hobble skirt in this game, so the fashionista now has one to bind you with
There is a low chance to come across a fellow slave in any room. This other person will also be trying to head to the floor exit and so you can us...
2025-04-15 15:57:07 +0000 UTC View PostGood noon-ish everyone, today I have for you an update that improves the concept of ending tracks introduced previously, doing so in the following ways:
Tracks can be quit without completing them:
Maid track can be quit by convincing Jean to let you retire. This is achieved by finding a Convincing Letter of Resignation in the 12th lootbox you open as a maid
Good morning everyone, today I have an update for you that changes the mechanisms of the the tracks leading to endings, what I am calling ending tracks. The specifics are:
The maid track now needs to be activated by examining some detritus then talking to Jean about it
Recruiters now penalise with Failure Cages rather than maid garb
Entering ...

The pause menu now has a list of character stats
Some items have an intelligence dampening effect, which more noticeably affects Eliza's ability to remove items that require focus to remove. Like items with laces

Cognitor stuff
The visual design of this archetype is fairly described as 'latex drone with some mechanical aspects', and the fate of all successful cognitors is to be sealed away in tubes...
2025-03-18 18:48:52 +0000 UTC View PostGood afternoon gamers, today I have for you an update that primarily adds a bit more life to the dungeon.
Occasionally you will come across another cult recruit, who is in a bit of a pickle. To help her out requires you to make a sacrifice.
Tentaclings no longer spawn in place of comsumables on normal floors. Instead a new curse has been added that causes them to sp...

2025-03-04 23:49:13 +0000 UTC View PostSalutations everyone, perhaps you noticed that I made a second game over the last week. This consumed some of my time and so today's update is a small one, albeit one that brings more interactivity to the home decoration added in recent weeks.
Added some fishnet clothing items
Language selection is more reliable
High chance to get furniture from lootb...

Primarily it adds a number of clothes to the game.
They can be found in lootboxes, which will prefer to give you clothes that you do not already own.

What's more, I have a poll question for you, the question is: What do you think of the difficulty of TBOE?
Below are the details for this update. The new stuff is quite large so we can expect it to be tweaked somewhat in coming weeks, s...
Good morrow, today I have for you an upd8. The short description is that ribbon bondage has been added, via an enemy that sometimes emerges from lootboxes, and using attack stones now requires charging your slap.
More comprehensive list
After opening a lootbox, a new enemy might emerge, who has an endless supply of ribbons to bind you with. At some point this enemy will be ...

Good morning friends, today I have for you an update with a smattering of pony/jockey related stuff
The Jockey is a character who occasionally appears at the end of the first two floors, demanding the bringing of a supply crate. Like a good pack mule, it is your duty to do so. Failure to do so will get you slapped with some deadlocked pony item.
Added a bunch of...
2024-11-19 09:57:28 +0000 UTC View Post
There's a question of how to implement the much aforementioned Pony Items insofar as how to get them onto the player and what tasks are associated with this role.
But there's also a bit of a lack of characters in this game.
This seems like a pair of problems that can be solved in one stroke.
The Jockey I think shall occasionally chill by the end of a floor and assign a task of logistic...
