If Roman had the patience of a Buddhist monk and several years on his hands, maybe, but its a porn game and the player has 3 days. I can't think of any arguments Roman could make in that time to shake Carmen from her beliefs or her manipulations - although I'm always open to hearing suggestions.
You go on a 30 minute great and wondrous adventure to the ancient holy temple to retrieve the legendary holy potion of purity and make Carmen a pure waifu. This could be dlc

Beautiful art, great writing, novel setting, really promising game except for the very small amount of content for a year in production. Hopefully we'll see more!
Thank you!

Sanguine Rose is sort of a deconstruction of a corruption game. Or a reconstruction. It's something. We wanted to make a premise and setup that wasn't pornographic or sexual or corrupting in itself, but because of the antagonist it becomes that way. The corrupting influence is Carmen, and Roman is the one being corrupted (as well as Crow and possibly the others in your group). The conflict kind of comes from putting the Player in charge of Roman. The player, by virtue of playing a porn game, wants Roman to get laid, and the easiest way to do that is to fall for Carmen's tricks. Let her corrupt Roman, and Crow. But by taking most of the corrupting agency away from the Player, it opens up romantic possibilities, and lets characters have their own desires - sexual or otherwise - that can play off of Roman.

Shit, I'm supposed to be talking about tits. Forget all that.
i understand the storyline does in fact revolve entirely around corruption in a way, but it's ok because it makes sense. Most of the games are just horny fuckers abusing someone. Here it's a character using all the skill she has developed during her life to manipulate the people around her, for her own gains.... so it's entirely natural to see the game being played out the way it is.

I guess my biggest issue is when you get these super pure characters, who in the course of trying to excel in their new job, just throw away the entirety of their life, the whole of their existence, up until that point because one day they forgot to wear panties, or they were stolen, and now she's giving blowjobs to faculty members and getting sexually assaulted by students... but they're "good kids" "exploring their sexuality" and "it's all my fault". How about I find a job at a different school?!??!???!??!?

Anyhow, the corruption in this game makes sense, and it's well played. I think the Crow bits might have went a bit quick, but it's covered up with storyline reasons of being submissive, and like you have said... IT IS a porn game. Maybe if we had a longer time to get to know the characters, or more backstory, it might feel more natural... but it's not bad all.

I love the artwork, and the work overall, please keep it up. I look forward to the next updates.

Drop rate percentage on pink Roman outfit?
"20%" but when people run the numbers it'll be more like 2.

I get ya. Far be it from me to criticise any other porn game, because enjoyment is subjective and porn rarely strives for a degree of realism, but I agree with most of what you're saying here. There are a lot of game premises out there which require a very high suspension of disbelief just to conspire a situation together where two people might fuck, especially when it comes to corruption.

Not bad - I don't care much for the submissive undertone ("You want/need somebody to give you direction! You need somebody to dedicate your life to *bla* *bla* *bla*..." - Makes no sense, you are a mercennary and nobody makes in that business if they are submissive and need someone to tell them what to do!) and I hope that in the future we will be able to show that we don't need this (note: Is this different if you decide to get on the road early? I selected staying put because that made more sense to me)...I like the General and Crow, but seriously:

I am just not the submissive type (I equate submission with weakness - yes, people who are into BDSM think I am wrong, but it's an oppinion so please: Agree to disagree?) :(

I however very much like the art (no grotesque proportions with boobs that would make upright walking impossible or gravity defying hair or weapons that no normal person could even lift, much less use!)!

ps: I am not super-dominant either (for me relationships are a bond of equals who like each other and don't want to take advantage or dominate the other (being bossed around is not my thing and I don't like bossing someone around either!))

Carmen Valentine is sexy as hell. Probably the sexiest 2d art I've scene in a porn game. She really is a Femme Fatale.
We're glad you like her!

The game plays very differently based on the choices you make, although Carmen tends towards trying to dominate Roman. If you choose to stay out of town, and then tell Carmen she has to get on her knees if she wants to eat, then Roman is treated a lot more equally by Carmen. This comes up more in Day 2 where you can outright reject Carmen (which has consequences) or let her bargain for freedom.

Carmen also tries different tactics on the player depending on how your first conversation goes, and which of her stories you listen to and whether you feed her on her knees or let her sit on a barrel. They're not always huge differences, but it can be the difference between coaxing Roman into joining her so he can become more powerful, and telling Roman his rightful place is beneath her. There's always big themes of power, but Roman doesn't have to be wholly submissive.

I was actually really impressed by how wildly different things could go depending on the choices. I know it is complicated for things to remain that way long term, but I hope it's a running theme. I find player choice to be one of the most appealing features to games like this, especially when the consequences of the choices are so varied.

Thanks! Most of the major branches happen in day 1, with a little more finality put in place in day 2. Some routes are more or less finalised by the end of Day 2, and will have linear endings in Day 3, while a few of them are going to have final decisions the player can make. I'm not sure whether that really counts as a running theme since it depends which version you've played.

Future projects will probably be slightly more linear because it is sheer madness trying to keep track of all the various paths while also updating regularly.


In other news, when did @booom313 make an android port of SR? There's a link in the OP but I don't remember anyone mentioning it...

Was wondering if it's possible for someone to make a mega download link for the new update. I tend to limit my downloads as I share internet with others, so MEGAsync is preferred way to go about it.

First time I notice that one (I don't delve much in the forums).
Art looks quite nice from the exterior (AKA not having played the game), but all the girls seemingly having the same "smirk" (for lack of a better word) puts me off quite a bit.
If only one girl had it, well... it would put me off still, but obviously less so.

I suppose I'm too nitpicky :test2:

to tell you the truth its madness to keep track of all paths even while just playing it. i wrote notes of my saves with different paths i took in notepad document. seeing the game is based heavily on choices, tried to cover all paths that i spotted or at least suspect will have different outcomes. based on my choices, i got 8 saves in total.

it looks like whatever you do, carmen will always corrupt crow, since even 1 shift is enough.
dont know if marcus caved though.


on submissive path, later hearing carmen's offer, she actually does make sense. you know that she is smart and can say anything to get what she wants. however you dont know if she would betray her allies, and since you dont know if she really wants to keep you by her side or just playing you, you cant really know what to do (i cant at least)

tried to be dominating (tell her to shut up, get her on her knees) but felt like she was dominating just as much as i was, probably even more. if you later refuse to hear her offer, she pretty much gives up on playing games and i guess is determined to escape (and probably kill you.)

on a path that actually felt dominating, well the sex atleast (her bleeding lip was so hot :evilsmile:) you try to outwit each other otherwise. and after that she straight up tells you that she will kill you lol. but before that they will fuck again



I've decided...The next time we fuck I'm going to kill you
And while you're giving my my deserved punishment, ill cave you head in
Ill hold you to that @Dusky Hallows
