Now to the dev news:Starting Character Setup💄In next update player will be able to customize the FMC dialogue model appearance right from the beginning of the game! The full starting setup will be freely available in the inventory.I’ve received a lot of feedback that the combat system feels either too simple or too complicated for some players. While monster stats do vary within certain ranges, the main reason for the difference in perception was the random stats on Tabitha’s armor.Now at the start of the game you’ll be able to choose from three sets, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.New game start presentation video: Visual🎨"Patrolling the City Streets" Scene is Fully DrawnThe assets are ready for animation.Orux route📝I'm currently working on the plot with orux.

- Devlog #2 - 5 February 2026
Hi, I want to share with you how the corruption and relationship mechanics will work. Corruption: Corruption stat will build up from H-scenes, dialogue choices, various events, and actions. Each heart on the scale unlocks when you earn enough points. Unlocking hearts comes with story events. Once you open a stage, you can't undo it (only by loading a save). New milestones grant skills, visual changes to the heroine, new dialogue options, and access to more depraved scenes (for example, you won't unlock the orc party with 0 hearts). But the higher the corruption stat, the harder it gets to turn back from the lewd path and keep relationships with certain companions.Relationships Every character you encounter will have their own tab with information about them and your relationship status. Relationships are measured by 10 hearts. Filling a certain number unlocks increasingly personal info…
- Development update - 2 February 2026
Hello everyone! I want to share some news about the development progress and plans for future content.Over the last month, I've been porting the project to a new version of Unity and Spine (it was quite a sweat). I'm really happy with the update, especially for the second program. This will not only speed up work on new animations but also improve their quality! For example, it adds physics for all sorts of juicy details...I've also been testing and continue to test the main storyline branch, and I've been planning new content for future updates. Regarding the latter, I've settled on one of three options. I can't wait to share my developments and know your opinion!Scenario #1: House of Pleasures(The winner)"...The young warrior woman once again ventures into the brothel. She will uncover the secrets hidden by the inhabitants of this sweet, sinful place..." This story includes: - primary…
- Update #2 - 22 December 2025
New patch with bugfixes and improvements is here! Hi everyone! Here is a small patch with bunch of changes and bugfixes. Changes:Added a couple of VFX to the combat scene. Added over 20 SFX for the combat scene. I hope this will diversify the combat! Bugfixes: Fixed a bug with data transfer from the Search for Clues mini-game, which prevented the game from continuing if certain items were in the rewards. Fixed Search for Clues characteristics count. Minor adjustments to combat scripts and animations. Now animations should not lag behind actions, the log won't have additional messages about a creature's death if it's already dead, etc. I'm still getting used to the Steamworks tools — it's possible I wasn't uploading updates correctly and they might not have been applying. Please let me know if your game version is not 0.1.10.10 but an older one. I'll be testing! Have a good day!
