Mediocre game at best. Very cliche and unbalanced as hell.

Plus no variativity in gameplay terms. Example: Game IMPLIES that you may complete it without corrupting your character, but it's literally impossible due the way the game is designed. After first level protagonists begins to reveice arousal from each attack she makes. Once you reach 35% arousal - Karryn begins to be sexually frustrated, which lowers her stats to the ground, making the game impossible to beat even on normal. And the only way to remove this status is... sexual activity. Which corrupts your hero and ruins pure route.

Only sex route is also broken, since you'll be overspammed by enemies eventually. So basically game has only one way to complete it with zepo replayability.

All this makes Karryn's prison really dull and irritating game. No indea how it is got certain reputation, because it's nothing if you check it for real.
You're exaggerating a bit—perhaps because you don’t fully understand the game yet, which is completely understandable. I don’t blame you for it. The developer didn’t do a great job explaining the mechanics and seems to expect players to fail at least once and learn through repeated playthroughs. Some people enjoy that kind of trial-and-error gameplay, but I can't say I’m one of them.

It’s true that Karryn starts experiencing pleasure even when attacking, but this doesn’t happen right from the start—you need to unlock certain passives first. The issue is, the conditions for unlocking these passives aren’t visible in-game, so you’ll have to look them up online if you want to know what triggers them.

Once you reach 35% arousal - Karryn begins to be sexually frustrated, which lowers her stats to the ground, making the game impossible to beat even on normal.
You can remove the "sexually frustrated" debuff by having Karryn masturbate—and possibly orgasm. I'm not entirely sure if the orgasm is strictly necessary for the debuff to disappear.

And the only way to remove this status is... sexual activity. Which corrupts your hero and ruins pure route
Completing the game on a "pure" run isn't impossible, but it does require a deep understanding of the mechanics. For instance, masturbating doesn't immediately invalidate a pure run—but doing it repeatedly can eventually unlock passives that make the pure ending more difficult to achieve. Check out this post for a bit more detail.

When I first saw the security office reduction edicts I thought you could get it to the point where guards/prisoners would come and go in her room as they please. I.e.: karryn would let anyone fuck her while she was "sleeping". I'm kinda surprised it was limited to her masturbation sessions, and I'm doubly surprised this isn't explored much in mods.

There is at least one mod that has Karryn being covered in cum when waking up, top simulate nocturnal visitors, but there's no actual scene for it.

Part of the issue is adding in new scenes is a pain, needing to make a lot of art to make a new scene or even make an existing scene fit the scenario.

We need more games like this

Hell, this is the only H game I have bought.

Summer and Winter memories games are great too but you know, maybe I don't want to play as a KID in an H game. Just saying.
true man, there was another game like this Saria Reclaimed but the dev fucked it after remake

Where can u look for passives and their requirements to unlock?
There is a steam guide on passive and their requirements.

You're exaggerating a bit—perhaps because you don’t fully understand the game yet, which is completely understandable. I don’t blame you for it. The developer didn’t do a great job explaining the mechanics and seems to expect players to fail at least once and learn through repeated playthroughs.

Most of em are explained, however it's designed to trap first time players into the corruption path eventually if they just play it normally with standard preconception (i.e dmg type rock-paper-scissors mechanic and order/subsidy).

Help. I'm trying to play this game on android.

Tried JoiPlay. Versions 1.3 didn't launch at all. Version 1.2.6.20 works but no sound at all.

Tried MTool. Version 1.2.6.20 works for only ~10 minutes. After that I get error which only says 'Undefined'. I've checked error logs and there was a bunch on "not valid JSON" errors like ones:

[ERROR (1745186321490) 4/21/2025 12:58:47am] SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'i', "img/system"... is not valid JSON
[ERROR (1745186321490) 4/21/2025 12:58:47am] SyntaxError: "[object Object]" is not valid JSON
[ERROR (1745186321490) 4/21/2025 12:58:47am] SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'i', "img/pictur"... is not valid JSON
[ERROR (1745186321490) 4/21/2025 12:58:47am] SyntaxError: "[object Object]" is not valid JSON
Honestly I've been having similar issues, I got it working by playing it on MaldiVes and even then, there are some issues, like the cumming animation wont run work, which is weird because the versions of this game without the DLC run the game perfectly. So I think something is up with the DLC that's isn't getting along with joiplay.

Yeah, is begins to happen at 2nd level, maybe beginning or 3rd, if you are lucky.

And then you have fights where you face 3-5 waves with 3-6 enemies each so you can't finish the battle without getting aroused. And if you are aroused - you get frustration. And if you want to remove frustration you... Oh, you have to corrupt your char(Masturbation also corrupts you), which ruins 'pure' Holy Empress run. Great. This rout is impossible from mathematical perspective. I've spend almost a week and even wasted time reading guides.

The only way to get 'Pure' ending is dash through the game as fast as you can and remove sadism passives with cheats.

All the dialogue cues are here.
Your disk \ Your folder where the game is installed \Karryn's Prison\www\loc
Thank you. But I don't seem to have found a better AI tool. I tried grok3 and it seems to be better, but it is limited to text description. How do they create AI pictures in Reddit?
