    I am writing this for version 0.7 (Don't know why it hasn't been updated here, but the itch page gets updates frequently)

    Sacred Lust is another horror-chaser type game, where you do things in a place, whilst being hunted by an unkillable entity. Foundation-wise, it's shaky but definitely something. You go around picking up objects, gaining points, occasionally upgrading yourself in a roguelike manner. You have to collect a certain amount, I think 10, and then you can escape. If you get caught, it's immediate game over, but I think you still retain all the points you scored up until that point.

    These points can be spent on abilities before starting a map. These range from showing the location of Lily to the location of the next few items. Honestly, I've only ever used the item ability, because I can just beeline for them and cut down my time in the maps. Aside from these upgrades, you can buy some outfits for Lily, which also give you access to several mediocre AI images.

    To be brutally honest, the sex scenes are poorly animated loops, with no progression or finishing scenes. The camera is also very janky, and Lily herself doesn't even take off any of her clothes, so you're phasing your penis through her clothes, depending on which outfit you have equiped.

    The Dev has teased in the next update we will get the first 'Story mode level', which could definitely add some depth to the game, but could very well be something to avoid should the writing, dialogue and/or levels not be well thought-out.

    There is potential here, and I say that with humour because about 90% of the games posted here have potential, shortly before being abandoned.
    I would perhaps keep an eye on this game, at least until the story mode is released, but until then would recommend looking into Doll Labo, which features a more dynamic playing experience, with better animated scenes, and a lot more of them, or Halls of the Pale Widow, which is complete, and very well polished, from the feel to the scenes and everything inbetween.

    All in all, I wish the dev the best, and hope that in the near future I can give this game a better rating :)
