It seems you will not be able to give the deliverer the long and detailed many-part interview that you had hoped for. Still, perhaps you can get one question on the way out.

With so many possible things to ask, clearly you can put to the deliverer the most sensible and obvious question that could possibly be asked in such a bizarre and probably illegal situation that you find yourself in.

You guess they have flying drones around wherever here is. Upon seeing that you suddenly regret asking about the job. You really don't want to be a flying drone. Maybe - hopefully - they don't have any jobs open or would be happy for you to retract your interest later. Besides, you have more important things to do than deliver delicious dinners.

Pancake Hater

On this, the most blessed of days, must those loathesome who refuse to partake in the pancake, be trussed up like the swine they are and defiled for their disrespect of the sacred occasion. No more shall we entertain their flimsy excuses like "I was gagged" or "I want the pancakes dammit"; the judgement of the fair godfearing people has no forgiveness for such nonsense.

Is that a whole pineapple on this pizza or is it just happy to see you?

Or... is it a bomb under there?

You ask the drone to excuse you while you see if some tip money is available.

Raising your voice over the sound of her audio, you show her that the pizza has arrived and ask if she has anything for a tip.

Looks like you will be able to tip handsomely for good service.

WAIT A SECOND YEAH! that courier is wearing some weird shit. You were kidnapped no time ago and already you look at a- whatever that uniform is, and don't think to ask questions straight away! Well you sure have some questions for this courier now!

The Doorbinder

It is sometimes the case that bad actors enter one's home against one's will and knowledge in the dead of night, meaning to cause mayhem and ruckus. The Doorbinder aims to solve this problem for you by autonomously detecting the passage of any unregistered troublemakers through the threshhold upon which it is installed. The Doorbinder will immediately manifest vast spools of tape to wrap around any such troublemaker, mummifying them on the spot, making them impotent and harmless until you arrive at the scene of the attempted crime, ready to inform city police of this failed burglary, and of a felon who will no doubt be given justice for many years for their attempt to bring about distress in your house and home.

Merry crimbo to all, I have bad news! There will be no January Upd8 for The Bondage of Eliza next month. Instead a Crimbo Upd8 will be releasing immediately!

With this upd8 cometh New Endings?? and also the fearsome slaveowner Mama Crimbo

• Added Crimbo Trees - during the christmas months of december and january, one will show up at the end of every third run
• They offer a platter of goodies and a Gift Box
• Though you should beware the eye of Mama Crimbo



• Dying now triggers a new cutscene and the 'Revival' ending, and yields the Revival Collar
• It brings Eliza back to life if she is slain
• And occasionally also awakens nearby KO'd enemies



• Added Tinsel, a multipurpose item that can wrap many parts of the body
• Added String Lights, another multipurpose item that can wrap many parts of the body more severely
• Added Crimbo Hat & Coat, clothing items that can only be taken by force from the Mother of Christmas
• Added Elf Hat & Coat, clothing items which serve as the uniform of christmas servants
• Added Cardboard Box, a rare article of furniture from lootboxes. What could it possibly contain???

Tweaks

• Automatic item removal can be cancelled with E
• Item-removing props such as robo claws, they now prioritise removing hand-covering items so you can more effectively remove the rest of your stuff
• Stamina regeneration is much faster
• Waist constriction limits stamina regeneration to a greater degree
• Pollution drains Eliza's stamina
• Getting up from tripping costs no stamina after 5 seconds
• Moved a bang button away from the wall to alleviate clipping
• Non-manual item removal e.g. by robo claw, no longer triggers compliance cuffs shocks
• When starting sprinting, you now get a dash-like burst of speed for a short time, at the cost of more stamina
• Jean can now be pickpocketed if she is approached from outside of her line of sight
• If you have some required items then a lift will be guaranteed to spawn in any given run

Bugfixes

• Fixed game crashing when donning the last item in a category
• Fixed steel handballs not affecting item removability
• Fixed attack stones having no effect
• Fixed 'don' option being available for non-wearable items
• Fixed erroneous ability to spawn many copies of an ending animation from the television

Today I am leaving some aspects of this upd8 without explanation in order to preserve some of the spirit of mystery and exploration that can be so enjoyable in videogames. Perhaps in future months I will return to the full itemised point by point list explaining literally everything that changed, we shall have to see how things turn out.

Please enjoy the remainder of this year and I'll see you in February for a return to regularly scheduled upd8s

That does certainly look less lethal than a mousetrap is expected to be. Regardless, you think you'll want to avoid stepping on any of these traps yourself, just in case it manifests a giant net that captures your entire body.

Yeah! Maybe she knows something about these weirdos. You head over, but are interrupted by an unexpected sight in the next room.

You think you saw one in the pile of leaves. Perhaps if you perform some High Speed Investigation, you can confirm what you thought you saw...

That was most certainly not just a singular mitt. How many of these things are there and what exactly are they playing at?

In the moment while you recover from the impact, you recall something: you could have sworn the greeter had some handballs on earlier, but now bears free hands. If she's able to free herself of those, then you might want to be careful in her presence lest she suddenly escape from other bindings like a jumpscare in a haunted house.

There's plenty of space on your ankle for the other half of the cuff. Thinking about it, this makes much more sense than tethering yourself to the greeter and therefore the wall for some reason, and should stop any adversaries from sneakily shackling you to a stray railing with the open cuff. However, said adversaries might be able to make use of the loop of chain that remains between the two cuffs. A problem for later, you suppose.

If this doesn't get her attention, you don't know what will. Surely you will have reinforcements in mere seconds!

You've tragically run out of distance to charge while going YAAAAAAAA. The greeter does not seem to have recovered from the one physical attack that you were subjected to. While maintaining a healthy and safe distance from the enemy, you consider how to properly deal with this miscreant.
