VN Ren'Py Ruin Me [v0.59.1] [Phanes]

[Bigscarymonster]

Love the idea of the game, the artwork leaves a little to be desired. In my personal taste, I would appreciate more content involving the eggs and tentacles. After my character was filled with eggs it just kind of ended and I was hoping it would lead to more, like bringing Theresa to that monsters cave and potentially birthing creatures. I like how it's clearly labelled content, allowing you to avoid some scenes as you go.

All of that said, I wish there was more artwork. The content itself is interesting and fun to play however there is a noticeable lack of visual stimulation to accompany the writing. As it stands, if I were to rate it I would say it's a solid 6/10. Great ideas, interesting storytelling however it finds itself leaving more to be desired. Artwork namely, the quality is fine I'm looking for quantity.

Game is great but art is...Well, there is a horror tag for a reason, I guess.
Not like I can draw any better though xD

Man the art discouraged me from the game at first but decided to check it out after reading the comments. Really loving the writing in this game, I'll be pledging when I get billed for this month. When you get used to it the art really isn't bad either.

Damn this is a hidden gem!

Echoing some of the other comments above: the writing and story is top-notch, but you'd have no idea from a first look at the art and even the name. With the name "Ruin Me" and the bloody pic on the first page, I initially thought this was some shallow BDSM or even torture game. Turns out it has some of the most creative scenes (like who comes up with something like that soap woman?) on this site.

Basically the presentation is doing a disservice to the content/writing.

Is Miss Amherst inspired by some myth or something?

Is Miss Amherst inspired by some myth or something?

I think I talked about a different angle of this in a Patreon post, but she's not based on any particular myth. She's kind of just an exploration of the horror of isolation. The concept was originally more SCP-ish, with a time loop involved, but I was mostly interested in the question "what if you had all the time in the world?", to which I think my answer is "you'd become very strange."

Shouldn't this have a prostitucion tag since you can now make her prostitute herself in the city?

 

[Therod]

Do any of you think the screenshots should be updated?

 

[Asia Argento]

This is quite good. I havent been totally enraptured by a suspense/horror? story since “The girl who loved Tom Gordon” by Stephen King.

With only 3 pages here, I think this is one of F95s most slept on games/VNs!

Illustrations yet?

 

[Darth Sidious]

I love this setting, horror and erotica or porn goes hand in hand. The writing too is very good! I'm seriously weighing supporting this dev, but I haven't finished te game yet. Looking forward to seeing more!

 

[A Common Crab]

After quite a long time, finally decided to give this a try. Still on the first day after the initial storm and I must say: If this game had art that could catch the eye for its beauty then this wouldn't have any right to be a free game. The writing is interesting already and boy oh boy, do I love some lovecraft!

I'd like some more things to do with Miss Amhurst as the various corruption stats go up. Maybe more bondage-y outfits ? Take the chastity belt from the patient and modify it to a constant stimulation belt ?

The choice to lock all previously seen content behind a paywall (except for the fairly sparse repeatables) seems... odd. Oh well, plenty of other games in the sea.

Dear LetumComplexo,

I certainly agree with you as far as not caring for paywalls in general very much That said, as a follower who really enjoys this game, I'll just point out that the developer does release all of his content for free and there are many other games out there that don't have a gallery or recollection room function at all and still require monetary support to even play. I think that the developer probably intends the restricted reminisce function as just a perk for monetary supporters, not a punishment to the rest of us. If you haven't got a chance to play much of this game, I hope you won't just skip it for that reason because it's a really well-written and enjoyable corruption game. I think it put a little spark back into the genre.

Best Wishes,

Barbarella2021.

I love the writing in this game.

After dozens of MTL games lately, this thing feels like cool dew on my cheeks after an expedition through a desert.

stuck at dr harvey's questions

 

[PhanesDionysos]

Hey, everyone! Thanks for the kind words from some folks. I'm real happy that folks are continuing to keep up with the game.

While I've got a patron tier for specific requests, if you mean Miss Radcliffe, I feel okay saying that there's definitely going to be more options like you're looking for.

It's just an extra convenience feature for patrons; I haven't done anything to prevent normal saving/restoring if there's something you want to replay. The Reminisce scenes are all ones that don't make sense to replay in-character.

Enough folks have had trouble with this bit that I'm adding an extra hint for folks who fail the interview more than once. In short: pick the cruel answers to trick Dr. Harvey into hiring you. I didn't intend for this part to be tricky, but it's definitely the closest thing the game has to a challenge, and I don't want it to be a barrier.
