This is a work-in-progress build

Staff and management

• Employee morale: workers become FRESH for +10% tips or TIRED for −10% tips and 25% slower service. Low morale never makes anyone quit.

  [/*]

• Manual breaks: send an employee on a 40-second break to restore morale quickly.

  [/*]

• Closing the parlor now rests the entire roster at break speed while turning away new customers.

  [/*]

• SHIFT MANAGER Legacy perk automatically rotates tired employees onto breaks and can be switched on or off.

  [/*]

• Employee traits: hires can receive up to two traits affecting speed, tips, morale, VIPs, Suspicion, Page drops, coaching costs, and customer priority.

• Standard traits: Quick Hands, Slow Burn, VIP Darling, Loud, Crowd Favorite, Bookworm, Diva, Discreet, Fast Learner, Sunny, Lucky Charm, Exhibitionist, Iron Back, Magnetic, Natural, Perfectionist, Second Wind, Cool Operator, and Regular Favorite.

  [/*]

• Mythic traits: Time Bender, Unbreakable, Golden Aura, and Infamous.

  [/list][/*]

• Direct trait training: spend Pages to teach an exact trait or replace a chosen slot. Mythics require an Elite parlor, 100,000 lifetime customers, a fully coached employee, and 100,000 Pages.

  [/*]

• Employees and the receptionist can now be renamed.

  [/*]

• The receptionist now has her own full profile card.

  [/*]

• Releasing an employee requires confirmation and clearly explains that her room will become vacant.

  [/*]

  [/*]

• TEACH ALL ELIGIBLE lets you teach one scene to every employee who qualifies in a single purchase.

  [/*]

• Each employee can be assigned preferred client skin-tone groups, including fantasy colors. One employee’s preferences can be copied to the full roster.

  [/*]

• While closed, occupied rooms can be reordered by dragging portraits or using EARLIER/LATER buttons.

  [/*]

• Room tiles and staff portraits now show each employee’s live morale state.

  [/*]

Character customization and outfits

  [/*]

• Nine purchasable outfits were added:

• Layered Sheer Dress

  [/*]

• Nurse

  [/*]

• Police

  [/*]

• Latex Suit

  [/*]

• Disco

  [/*]

  [/*]

  [/*]

  [/list][/*]

• Six selectable expressions were added: Neutral, Happy, Sad, Angry, Aroused, and Flirty.

  [/*]

• Ten independently selectable hairstyles were added: Basic Hair, Pixie Cut, Blunt Bob, Wavy Lob, Loose Curls, High Ponytail, Twin Ponytails, Low Bun, Side Braid, and Rounded Afro.

  [/*]

• Every outfit now supports Small, Normal, and Big breast fits.

  [/*]

• Headwear can be colored separately from the outfit.

  [/*]

• Two accessory slots allow combinations of wings, tails, horns, bunny ears, nurse caps, the pink latex hat, the maid headpiece, and Dress V2 horns.

  [/*]

• The customization menu is divided into OUTFIT, FACE & HAIR, and ACCESSORIES sections.

  [/*]

Outfit Workshop and Community Wardrobe

• The GLAMOUR KIT now unlocks a full pixel-art Outfit Workshop.

  [/*]

• Players can keep up to 24 custom outfits, hats, or accessories.

  [/*]

• Designs can start from scratch or remix an unlocked official outfit.

  [/*]

• Every design supports all eight poses and all three body fits.

  [/*]

• The editor includes editable body and garment/accessory layers, multiple brush sizes, pencil, eraser, fill, straight lines, color picker, transparency, mirror drawing, select/move, grid guides, previous-pose guides, zoom, animation preview, and undo/redo.

  [/*]

• Poses, selected layers, or an entire body fit can be copied to other poses and fits.

  [/*]

• Creations can be imported and exported as shareable files.

  [/*]

• Community Wardrobe allows players to publish, update, unpublish, browse, download, and report creations.

  [/*]

• Community designs are separated into outfits, hats, and accessories and can be sorted by popularity, name, newest, or Featured.

  [/*]

• Downloaded designs retain creator attribution, wardrobe-add counts, and available-update notices.

  [/*]

• A new Outfit Creators leaderboard ranks creators by Community Wardrobe adds.

  [/*]

Massage and gameplay controls

• Three purchasable massage techniques were added:

• Pulse Massage — a rhythm challenge.

  [/*]

• Signature Stroke — trace a glowing shape.

  [/*]

• Rub Frenzy — rapidly build a pressure meter.

  [/list][/*]

• Techniques have equal rewards, can be equipped freely once purchased, and remain owned through rebirth.

  [/*]

• Untimed Massage removes countdowns while keeping the same targets and rewards; players press FINISH once complete.

  [/*]

• Menu Pause freezes gameplay timers while menus are open by default and can be disabled.

  [/*]

• Customer Pace offers Relaxed, Default, and Fast request timing.

  [/*]

• The front-desk OPEN/CLOSED sign is now interactive. Active services finish when closing, but new customers are turned away.

  [/*]

• Auto Tribute, Fake Booking deposits, Shift Manager, upgrade-tip popups, and service-request popups can each be toggled.

  [/*]

• NIGHT SHIFT LEAD can be turned on or off and can display the receptionist either at her desk or working inside Reception.

  [/*]

Progression and endgame

• Rebirth 7 was added, expanding Elite parlors from 18 to 25 staff rooms.

  [/*]

• The rebirth screen now shows exactly what resets, what survives, which scenes and mechanics unlock, and how room capacity changes.

  [/*]

• Locked Coach sections explain their exact rebirth requirement and current progress.

  [/*]

• The Legacy shop is organized by gameplay purpose and explains how each purchase affects future runs.

  [/*]

  [/*]

• Shift Manager automates staff breaks.

  [/*]

• Golden Invitation improves Legendary-hire odds.

  [/*]

  [/list][/*]

• Aurelia was added as a unique Legendary employee available from R6:

• Twice the normal service speed.

  [/*]

• Double tips.

  [/*]

• +10 percentage points to VIP chance.

  [/*]

• Her VIPs count as three customers.

  [/*]

• Five exclusive scenes: Standing Sixty-Nine, Wall Inversion, Folded Special, Inverted Face Ride, and Front Crouch.

  [/*]

• She survives rebirth and can return for free after being voluntarily released.

  [/list][/*]

• At R7, Golden Contract guarantees Aurelia the next time the Hire desk opens.

  [/*]

• Standard VIP services now count as two customers for progression, dailies, HUD rate, and leaderboards.

  [/*]

• Larger parlors attract proportionally more walk-in customers, preventing later rooms from sitting unused.

  [/*]

• Daily cash rewards scale with the parlor’s earning power, while Page rewards grow with rebirth rank.

  [/*]

• Returning demo players receive the Sheer Dress, a cash bonus, and a Legacy Point.

  [/*]

Suspicion system

  [/*]

• Tributes are available in −10% and −50% Suspicion amounts.

  [/*]

  [/*]

  [/*]

Leaderboards

  [/*]

  [/*]

• A game-styled board picker replaces the older tab layout.

  [/*]

• Legitimate endgame scores are accepted rather than being rejected as impossibly high.

  [/*]

• The HUD can switch between cash earned and customers served, with a live per-second rate for either metric.

  [/*]

Audio, desktop, and accessibility

• Five purchasable soundtrack choices were added: Tenderness, Slow Pluggnb Dance, Pluggnb Chillout Time, Atmospheric Lo-Fi, and Chillout Lounge. Purchases and the selected track survive rebirth.

  [/*]

• Service scenes now include synchronized action and voice sounds.

  [/*]

• Separate sliders control normal sound effects, scene sounds, and music.

  [/*]

• Night Shift room scenes play their matching audio.

  [/*]

• Scene censoring was removed; scenes are always shown uncensored.

  [/*]

• The game continues progressing while minimized or behind other windows.

  [/*]

• Desktop Receptionist is a desktop-only perk that places the receptionist above other windows. She can be dragged, resized, hidden, hovered for live parlor information, or clicked to return to the game.

  [/*]

• A fully localized 17-chapter Parlor Handbook can be opened during onboarding or from HOW TO PLAY in Settings.

  [/*]

The next major update for Happy Endings lands at the end of September — and it’s playable right now on the Steam beta branch. We’d love your help testing it before the public release.

What's coming

EXPANDED CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION — choose between new body options for your girls, with the wardrobe updated to fit every option. Hairstyles, hats and other headwear have also been expanded, with more independent color choices. AURELIA GUARANTEED AT R7 — Aurelia can still appear early as a rare legendary hire, but reaching R7 now awards the GOLDEN CONTRACT. If you haven’t found her by then, the contract guarantees her next offer without another rebirth or payment. VIPS COUNT DOUBLE — every completed VIP service now counts as two customers toward leaderboard scores, daily tasks and your customer-rate display. Aurelia’s legendary bonus still makes her VIPs count as three. SAFER STAFF MANAGEMENT — LET HER GO now asks for confirmation before removing an employee, so an accidental click won’t cost you a favorite girl. POLISH & STABILITY — more gameplay tuning, progression improvements, audio fixes, visual polish and performance work throughout the game.

Want to play it early?

The September Update is being tested on the beta branch right now. The branch is open to all Happy Endings owners — no application required. Join our Discord to get the beta access code, installation instructions and the latest testing updates: JOIN THE HAPPY ENDINGS DISCORD You’ll also be able to share feedback, discuss the update with other players and report bugs directly to the development team.

This is a work-in-progress build

Expect some rough edges — that’s the point! If something breaks, use the REPORT BUG button in Settings or let us know in the #bug-reports channel on Discord. Your feedback directly shapes the public release, so please tell us what works, what doesn’t and what still needs attention. Thanks for helping us test — see you in the parlor. 💜

Your feedback since launch has been clear: Happy Endings needed more active gameplay, meaningful choices, character variety, and stronger progression. We listened.

Happy Endings remains an incremental clicker at its core, not a traditional management simulator. This update gives you much more to unlock, customize, and actively manage.

More Active Gameplay

• NEW MASSAGE TECHNIQUES — unlock Pulse Massage, Signature Stroke, and Rub Frenzy.

  [/*]

• FAVORITE SCENES — choose each girl’s performance list by starring learned scenes.

  [/*]

More Meaningful Decisions

• WORKER TRAITS — every hire can roll unique quirks, including VIP DARLING, QUICK HANDS, EXHIBITIONIST, IRON BACK, and more.

  [/*]

• TRAIT TRAINING — spend Pages to improve employee traits.

  [/*]

• MORALE — give tired employees breaks, close the parlor to rest everyone, or unlock SHIFT MANAGER.

  [/*]

• SUSPICION REWORK — higher suspicion attracts customers faster, but reaching 100% causes the Guild to seize your safe and temporarily close the parlor.

  [/*]

More Character Variety

• 10 HAIRSTYLES for the receptionist and hired girls.

  [/*]

• New NINJA and MAID outfits.

  [/*]

• Rename employees directly from their profile cards.

  [/*]

• More customer skin-tone variety.

  [/*]

• AURELIA — a rare legendary hire with five exclusive scenes.

  [/*]

Progression & Quality of Life

• Improved rebirth pacing and large-parlor customer flow.

  [/*]

• Five new purchasable music tracks.

  [/*]

• Monthly and all-time leaderboards.

  [/*]

• Improved CJK text readability.

  [/*]

• Background and minimized play.

  [/*]

• Major performance, memory, crash, character-rendering, and audio fixes.

  [/*]

• New REPORT BUG button in Settings.

  [/*]

Hairstyle Scene Support

Custom hairstyles appear during normal gameplay. Animated scenes currently use their original hairstyles while full scene support is being developed. Thank you to everyone who tested the beta and reported problems. Your feedback directly shaped this update. 💜

What's coming

• WORKER TRAITS — every hire can roll quirks: VIP DARLING, QUICK HANDS, EXHIBITIONIST, IRON BACK and 11 more. Two same-tier hires are never the same girl again.
• MORALE — nonstop work tires a girl out (slower, worse tips), rest brings her back. Send her on a break, flip the front-desk sign to CLOSED to rest the whole roster, or grab the new SHIFT MANAGER Legacy perk to automate it. Low morale never makes anyone quit.
• SUSPICION REWORK — the heat meter is now risk vs. reward. Ride it past 50% and customers pour in faster... but let it hit 100% and the Guild seizes your safe and locks the parlor down while they sweep it.
• AURELIA, THE LEGENDARY HIRE — a one-of-a-kind golden girl who can turn up at the Hire desk if you're lucky. Hand-animated, with five exclusive scenes only she can learn.
• MUSIC SHOP — five new chill-out tracks to buy for your parlor with your hard-earned cash, alongside the classic theme. Your collection survives rebirth.
• STYLE — 10 hairstyles plus new NINJA and MAID outfits, on top of per-girl colors and dyes.
• FAVORITE SCENES — star any learned scene per girl in the COACH menu, and she'll perform only what you starred. Decide who does what.
• RENAME YOUR GIRLS — right from their card.
• MONTHLY LEADERBOARD — the board now has ALL-TIME and THIS MONTH tabs, with monthly resets.
• QUALITY OF LIFE — scene censoring removed entirely, volume sliders for music/SFX, the game keeps running while minimized, in-game patch notes, and a REPORT BUG button that sends your log straight to us.
• PERFORMANCE & STABILITY — big parlors finally run at full capacity, plus a pile of crash and freeze fixes.

Hotfix v1.0.9 — Save Profile Restoration

• Receiving 99 Legacy Points

Hotfix Changes

What You Need to Do

• Exit the game completely

Rebirth 7

• Rebirth 7 is here! Reach the new rank to expand Elite parlors from 18 to 25 rooms, with seven additional late-game rooms to purchase and full leaderboard support.

New Outfits & Expressions

• Six new outfits are available: Nurse, Police, Latex Suit, Disco, Pink Latex and Dress V2 — a horned crimson gown with a sweeping cape.
• Eight facial expressions can now be selected independently of outfits: Neutral, Happy, Sad, Angry, Aroused, Flirty, Variant A and Variant B.
• New hires arrive with their own expression. Customize the receptionist with GLAMOUR KIT or hired staff with STAFF GLAMOUR.

Service Scene Audio

• Every service scene now has action and voice sounds synchronized to its animation.
• Only the service scene you're currently watching plays audio, keeping a busy parlor from becoming overwhelming.
• New SEX SFX toggle in Settings: control service-scene audio independently from regular game sounds.

Coaching, Rebirth & HUD Improvements

• New TEACH ALL ELIGIBLE option: teach a scene to every staff member who qualifies in one click, for the normal combined Page cost.
• The Rebirth screen now clearly shows what resets, what survives and exactly what the next run unlocks — including scenes, mechanics and room capacity.
• Your current Rebirth rank is always visible in the HUD, including R0. Hover over it to see your progress toward the next rank.
• Locked Coach ranks now explain exactly how to unlock them.
• The Legacy shop opens automatically after your first Rebirth and groups purchases by how they affect future runs.
• Click the cash display to switch between total cash and completed customers, including your earnings or completion rate over the last five seconds.
• Large Page totals are now abbreviated to keep the HUD tidy, with the exact amount shown in the tooltip.

Fixes & Improvements

• The Rank 4 Coach tree now follows the intended path — Scene 25 can no longer skip Scenes 23 and 24. Existing saves keep every purchased scene, with missing prerequisites restored automatically.
• The customization panel stays the same size while changing outfits or expressions.
• Room request buttons remain visible throughout the popup's closing animation instead of blinking away early.
• The current game version is now shown on both the loading and Settings screens.

Demo Supporter Reward

• Own the demo? The promised reward is here: the Sheer Dress outfit, $50,000 and 1 Legacy Point — granted automatically on your next launch, including for players who already claimed the early thank-you bonus.

New Features

• New STAFF GLAMOUR perk: customize your hired girls! Change each girl's colors and outfit from her room while the shop is closed — every girl keeps her signature look, and RESET COLORS restores it anytime.
• OPEN/CLOSED sign under your parlor name tag: close the shop for some quiet — waiting customers leave, jobs in progress still finish and pay out. Your girls even recover morale while closed.
• New CUSTOMER PACE setting (Relaxed / Default / Fast) — Relaxed means fewer, slower requests with more time to respond.
• New toggles: request popups, upgrade tips, AUTO TRIBUTE (on its perk card) and the FAKE BOOKING DESK (on its Legacy row).
• RESPEC LEGACY: refund your Legacy purchases and re-plan your build — with a warning before spending your final Legacy Points.

Fixes & Improvements

• Chinese, Japanese and Korean text now scales properly with the text-size setting.
• The sheer dress stays translucent when dyed white or gray.
• The Coach screen remembers which girl you were viewing instead of resetting to the receptionist.
• The scene unlock order is verified correct and now covered by automated tests.
• The CLOSE CALL achievement is now earnable — switch AUTO TRIBUTE off and let the heat rise.
• Every stat in the upgrade shop shows its live effect and whether it caps.
• Pages now explain how they're earned and spent, and show when a girl has learned everything.
• Daily rewards scale with your income and rebirths, so they stay worth claiming.
