The Trevor Grind'm Update
🕑 Added 2025-09-04 11:51:06 +0000 UTCThe newest game update is now free for everyone to play!
This new release adds the second Grind'm scenario to the game as well as some art enhancements and restored content, plus lays the groundwork for the story update that's coming next.
Before you start playing, please read the important notes under the download links. There is a lot more info below about what's in this release, how to access certain content, and other details which I do suggest reading, but it's not necessary to read if you just want to dive in.
Here are the download links:
PC: Google Drive | MEGA
Mac: Google Drive | MEGA
Download the appropriate file for your computer, unzip, and then launch the version of the game found in the new folder. You can delete any folder containing previous versions of the game—your saves and CG unlocks are stored elsewhere on your computer.
Details about the new content and how to access it are below!
Important Notes - Read Before Playing
Some of the new content is disabled by default. I recommend checking out the new content settings from the Options screen of the main menu before playing Trevor's Grind'm scenario.
If you play through the main game, you should start a new save. There have been a number of code changes made to the earlier portions of the game to fix things on the back end. This means you may encounter some issues unless you start over from the beginning.
The Skip option at the bottom of the screen can help you fast-forward back to where you left off. To help you zoom through extra fast, you can change the settings on the Options menu to skip unseen text and to immediately resume skipping after you make a choice.
Content Overview
Trevor's Grind'm Scenario
This update is dedicated almost entirely to a brand new Grind'm hookup featuring Trevor, NC17's twin, who was chosen via Patreon vote to star in his own scenario. Once unlocked, you can access the new scenario from the Grind'm section of the main menu.
Like Jordi's scenario, you can choose to navigate the hookup however you like when it comes to positions. New galleries have been added to both guys' profiles so you can browse the CGs you've unlocked. Click the Album button on their profiles to view.
The new scenario has nearly 200 new CGs (dependent on the content settings you choose), so there are a lot of ways to play through!
New and Updated Art
A lot of character art has been revised to refine character models and raise the quality level of some of the earlier pieces I created.
In particular, new HD models have been made for a number of characters. Of those, new sprites were created for Isaiah, Julian, Matt, and Owen, plus future Grind'm guy Parker. An entirely new model has been created for Isaiah's nemesis, David, as well.
If the image is already unlocked, your gallery will have newly revised CGs for Isaiah in particular, plus a few others that can be found for Julian, Matt, Leo, and Tomas.
You can also unlock four new CGs—two can be unlocked during the first fantasy sequence of the game by choosing not to think about any of the main characters (Leo, Marco, Matt, or Riley), and the other two are unlocked as part of a new scene for Isaiah.
Restored Scenes
Morning After scenes for Isaiah that were previously cut for time have been added to the game. If you kiss Isaiah at the end of Day 2, you will see these scenes before and during the shower sequence. It's during these scenes that his two new CGs are unlocked.
Content Toggles
You are now able to toggle on or off certain kinds of content from the Options menu. Right now there are two implemented, one on by default and the other requiring you to turn it on yourself. Hovering over the options will give you details on each topic.
Accessing the New Content
To play Trevor's Grind'm scenario, you will first need to meet him in the main game. The quickest way to do this is:
Hang out with anyone except Alex or Isaiah after Will's class on Day 2
Go to (or stay at) the club
Say hi to Asher when given the option
You'll receive a pop-up confirming you've unlocked the new scenario, which you can then play by visiting the main menu and clicking on the Grind'm button.
You can view most of the new art just by looking at your gallery. Playing through the game itself will display the new sprites anytime a revised character appears.
To see Isaiah's new content, reach his kissing scene at the end of Day 2, then play through the next morning. You must make the following choices on Day 2 to reach these scenes:
Hang out with Isaiah in the afternoon and proposition him
Take a shower after hanging out and let him see you sans towel
Hang out all night at the club, ask him about what's bothering him, dance with, and defend him from David
Follow him after he leaves the club and comfort him
To unlock the two other new in-game CGs:
Play through from the beginning until Connor contemplates having fun before orientation
Choose "I shouldn't think about them this way..."
Once unlocked, the new CGs will be in the Other Guys section of the gallery.
New Patreon Benefit
As has long been requested, a guide is now available that lays out the choices to make to maximize your relationships with your fav guys. It also includes details on the different ways your choices play out, guidance on when you can play the field without missing out on your main guy's content, and hints at what's coming in the future.
This guide is in-depth and presented in a PDF that's currently 150 pages and growing. It's available to Patreon patrons of all tiers as my way of thanking them for their support—this game couldn't exist without them!
More is on the way!
Grind'm updates are designed to give us something to play while waiting for a new story update. The next story update that will feature Matt and Evan has been in production alongside this update. There are bimonthly status reports on Patreon that will break down how progress is going so you can follow along with the development.
Senior and Graduate patrons will get access to "dev builds" of the next story update. Dev builds are in-progress, unfinished versions of the game that will let you play through a section of the new content before the final release is ready for early access. Stay tuned for info on those in the coming months!
