Hello!

I’m Mr. Pengo, here to introduce Jezebel, my first big release as an AVN writer and a passion project that is long in the making.


About the Game

DVTrial5.jpg


Jezbel
is a narrative-driven adult visual novel set in the medieval city of Rosegate, the political and commercial hub of a bustling kingdom. You play as Duvessa Devereux, an amoral noblewoman who seeks to scheme her way to the top of the food chain. The game features RPG elements, branching narratives, and an alignment system that allows you to play god with Duvessa’s life. It is up to you whether she will be a master manipulator, seductress and femme fatale, or if she will be humiliated and brought to submit by the cutthroat world around her. Your choices determine both how the characters develop and what happens to the kingdom and the various factions vying for power.

I’m obsessed with big, ensemble political stories with tons of warring groups, ideologies, schemes and betrayals. Obviously, Game of Thrones (the books, specifically) is one of my chief influences, something I wear on my sleeve. I also *love* bad/villainous girls in fiction, whether they be genuinely sadistic and evil or redeemable tsunderes. This game, with its player choice system, is my attempt to do both. Duvessa, and many of the other characters, will develop differently and explore various different kinks based on the decisions you make. My ultimate goal is to create a game with a genuinely great story that invests you enough in the characters to make the sex scenes all the more outrageous and taboo.

Features

- A literary storyline filled with warring factions, betrayal, conspiracy, romance, seduction, and themes of existential philosophy, ideology, and religious dogma.

- A scene-stealing Byronic heroine—the kind you’ll love to hate or hate to love.

- A branching narrative shaped by your choices and a unique Sub/Dom alignment system that reflects your playstyle.

- Rich worldbuilding with an in-game encyclopedia to deepen your immersion in Rosegate.

- Fully animated H-scenes that bring the game’s most intimate moments to life.

- An original soundtrack (OST) that expands with each episode.

- Long running, episodic storytelling with updates to keep the intrigue alive.

Release Date

I am planning for a Q1 2025 release date…probably somewhere around March. The first episode is completely written, and it's just a matter of getting the art together at this point.

Episode 1, Repatriation, is heavily focused on Duvessa and what happens in her first week after returning to the city. In future episodes, I plan to expand the scope of the story more and include NSFW scenes from other perspectives. I’ll also be introducing many more characters who intersect with Duvessa and are influenced by your decisions. The roster of “main” girls is going to be around 7 in number, with several secondary girls getting screen time as well.

If the concept interests you, I would really appreciate you following my progress here or on Patreon, where I will be doing public updates about what I’ve been working on. Thanks! :giggle:

Hello Mr. Pengu,

Thank you for showing us your game! I love stories set in a medieval time period, and it even has 2D content! I am curious what the game will look like, I am sure the writing will be excellent, and the hentai scenes will be amazing. Can't wait to try it out when you have a demo.

I wish you the best of luck, and I am sure that you will hoard gold and sleep on it, like Smaug, because it will be a massive success. Looking forward to see much more in the future!

Thanks! There won't be a "demo" in the conventional sense but I'll be releasing the first episode for free here, which contains 2-4 hours of content :)

Promising work Mr. Pengo (y)

Love the main FMC's design/look. Overall, the art looks great. Duvessa sure does look like the token seductress :devilish: Give's off major femme fatale vibes.

Love how there's gonna be a lot of side characters as well to play through, as well as choice-based gameplay/an alignment system.

What kind of characters do you have planned for Duvessa to encounter in the first episode? :unsure:

Tricky question to answer without spoiling things! Episode 1 is a bit of an insular story; most everything is related to her first week back in the city after a long hiatus and the political scandal embroiling her family. Everything opens up in episode 2 and there are some major characters/sex partners we won't meet until then. Since every episode post 1 is going to be juggling multiple plotlines, I suspect my easiest days of writing are already behind me :LOL:

Status Update #1 - January 11, 2025

Work is being done on the game's UI, which is slowly but steadily being programmed in after having been designed earlier last year. I've been getting some outside help with it, as it really not my area of expertise. Once it's complete, I'll be going full steam ahead with post-production until all of the work on my end is complete and its simply a matter of waiting for the art to come in.

I've included a preview of what the game's UI is going to look like, including the pause menu that shows off the sub/dom mechanic!

Status Update #2 - January 19 2025

I've been working on implementing the OST, ambient noise, and sound effects to the game this week. This is a really fun part of post-production, as it's essentially the last touch needed for things to appear and sound exactly as they will in the final release. I'm excited for people to hear the original music that has been composed, as I think it's quite stellar. Of course, the final release will contain a music room section so that you can listen to the ever-increasing library of tracks at your leisure. :)

Status Update #3 - January 26, 2025

Not too terribly much to note this week; I've essentially been doing the same thing, gradually going through the game's first chapter and adding music/ambience in addition to a bit of editing. I did recieve some new character sprites that I've since implemented into the game, including the soon to be fan-favourite character "Generic Cult Member" that I've included in the screenshot. Hopefully I'll be finished with the audio soonish and working on the in game Encyclopaedia, which has been great fun to write for and I'm excited to show off!

Status Update #4 - February 2, 2025

Post-production continues to trudge along; I've implemented the soundtrack and SFX to all scenes with complete art, and am now waiting on the remainder of the sprites and CGs to be finished. The Encyclopaedia is still being coded, and isn't ready to show off just yet. It feels somewhat frustrating having little to do, so I've decided to start writing the second episode of the game. So many AVNs take forever to release new updates, and I'd so very much like to be an exception to that rule. :LOL:
