Ren'Py - Steps of Debauchery [Ep. 4.0 Bugfix] [Fooxied]

One of the few games i am happy to pay for, Fooxied = GOAT

It wants more characters.... Ok.

The art is really well done, and the story has a great buildup.

There are a lot of interesting story lines building, and i can't wait for the next patch!

Absolutely one of the best games I ever played, very high quality game and such sexy story, it just check all my boxes, I bought this on steam after trying the game here, the game worth every cent, highly recommend buying the game if you could do it to support the creator. 5/5

A very complete game, with many cool scenes! The story is very good and we can see how the corruption progresses in the protagonist; and the outfits are very sexy, being what the viewer is looking for. Congratulations on the game, keep it up!

Overall - 7/10 - Ep 3.1
CURRENTLY NOT RECOMENDING - game is good, just needs more content and it will 100% flourish. (The worlds needs Riley Hscenes)
Classic story - husband takes on debt, you (Riley) has to take care of it
Riley slowly gets corrupted whilst chasing cash - flirting with bar patrons, more donations on stream etc.
Good: Quest log, Hscenes (Not of Riley), good models + renders, amount of characters - with different things going on, slow corruption
Bad: Needs ALOT more content (especially scenes of Riley), cycle game-play gets boring (school -> work -> work -> maybe quest at specific time)
Story - 6/10
Play as Riley married to Mike. Mike has a big debt, this is where Riley has to manage some of the cost in a weekly manner.
Corruption of Riley - slow pace corruption i.e. stumbling on illicit sexual relationships, flirting with bar patrons -> note: Riley doesn't get near full corruption (no sex scenes of her - i think)
Riley - Very friendly and outgoing - meets people all around the world. Going around doing odd jobs to fit the weekly quota. Gets slowly corrupted throughout the game.
Mike - Cuck - kind of pathetic, does anything for money i.e. pretty much letting Riley doing anything to anyone for cash
Other characters - all other characters want to fuck Riley - all of them have their own thing i.e. Streaming, rich, college friends etc.
Renders + models - 10/10
Riley - Probs one of the hottest models i've seen
Other characters not on the same level as Riley, but still good on the eyes
Backgrounds - no complaints good quality
Sound - 7/10
Classic copyright free music - enjoyable enough
Reminds me of BaDIK
Animations - 10/10
Very good animations - smooth, little clipping
Almost exclusively for Hscenes
Playablity -
Sandbox - most things should be easy enough to spot and click - some QoL: home teleport, minimap access, very good quest tracker. Some bad things: Bouquet clothes store opening times?, repetitive cycle grinding for money, dance mini-game (weird ddr in porn game bruh)
Amount of content: 7/10
Ep 3.1 -
Needs more Riley scenes - a lot more
Little amount of Hscenes of Riley - most of them are her watching etc
Good amount of Hscenes of other characters
A lot of characters - core starter characters have pretty good, albeit short storylines - rest have almost no content

Nice Game, maybe the protagonist is a little too dumb ... the graphics is very good. Maybe there is needed some minor adjustment about her sometimes she is too prude and sometimes she is too much slut.

The game removed supernatural plot elements as much as possible, and created an environment full of difficult choices and temptations, describing a female character with a slight sexual hobby and a complete personality who gradually became corrupted because of small interests. Although there are some inappropriate things, the characterization and graphics of this game are of high quality, which left a good impression on me.

Reviewing as of Ep.3.1

I generally enjoy corruption games with a female protagonist and this is one of the most promising games of its genre that I've played in a while! It somehow slipped my notice, so I played the whole thing last week.

• Riley is an absolute stunner! I love how she's quite realistically proportioned. By that I mean that her boobs or ass are not obscenely large like some other games make their protagonists. And great renders all around. Secondary characters like Madison are just as hot!
• Easy to play with a simple hint system. I hate when games make things overly complicated to the point where you need a walkthrough... Let's face it, we're here for the porn.
• Good pacing imho. It's a delicate balance to make the story take enough time for the corruption to feel believable, but for the game to not become boring. I think so far the game's doing really well.

All in all, highly recommend up to this point and I look forward to what the dev has in store. I hope the updates don't take too long

One of the best Game I have played so far, Highly recommended.

I love that the protagonist is not a slut and does not get banged in the first minute of gameplay. I love the choices you make and I love the characters. The content also does not feel rapey like other female protagonist game. Even though there is a story line that dwells into that, but we have the choice not to go with it and I liked it. you actually feel in control of who you will fuck.
Looking forward for future updates

Exceptionally good game, the reasons are:

- Several good storylines that are very different.
- Non-annoying sandbox gameplay as a kit between the storylines.
- A really hot main character.
- The main character doesn't develop from decent wife to sex-crazed vamp in just a few scenes.
- Slow seduction and good tension building.

Great Game.

Pros :
1. Really hot FMC
2. Many developed routes
3. Really hot scenes
4. Content addition for each update is big enough

Cons:
1. Corruption arc should have been much slower
2. Plot has its own list of loopholes... already mentioned in other reviews

All in all one of the best FMC games out there

One of the best games out there. Dev is very active and some of the best renders in the game. Updates are timely and provides enough content to keep you wanting more. Overall a great game and worth supporting if you're able.

Nice renders and writing, but the game is quite slow and vanilla. There is not enough content to maintain the illusion of "sandbox", and even the set of event chains that are in the game are mostly linear, making the game more or less nothing more than a time-waster between the rendered CG scenes with no discernible choices or player agency. You might as well tag it with the VN tag.

Like the corruption pace. Excellent renders. One of the best female protag games on this site. Been following this games since its debut on F95 and the development has been good so far.For a 1 year old game, it has a lot of content.

The game is interesting but has goofy plot holes that don't make any sense, but I will start with the positives. The graphics are solid. The ladies in the game look amazing. The main character, Riley, is cool so far in some aspects. She's a likeable character with beauty, kindness, and charm. She has cool friends that care about her but also find her attractive. Riley is trying to make it through college but encounters adversity that makes things tough. There is some decision-making in the game, although there isn't enough.


Riley's husband owing the Mafia money makes sense, but paying only $200 a week for a $100,000 price tag is a joke. That made me laugh when I watched it. Why would they go to her to pay the money when the husband owes the money anyway? Also, why doesn't she confront her husband early on? Maybe they could work together to make more money. Why waste time not confronting him when he already knows he owes money while not telling her about it?


The story with the college dean is just silly. Riley could have easily flipped the tables on the dean by gathering proof of the things he does in school with his secretary. It could have been cool to have an option where she blackmails the dean and the secretary or decides to call the police. In reality, she could easily have more leverage over the dean and the secretary. But there is no option to expose the two or have power over them thus far. The user should be able to stir Riley in a direction; it shouldn't be the character stirring us. Decisions are what turn these stories into games.

In my opinion a very well made game
the scenes look very good
Graphics are also nice
The gameplay was enjoyable to play quite a good feeling I had
the main character (Riley) looks nice in my opinion
The story of the main character was well written
And the best part is that the female protagonist MC
One of the best games with female tag

As a fan of visual novels, I was excited to dive into "Steps of Debauchery" with its promise of an intricate storyline and immersive character development. However, after spending considerable time with the game (last 3 Updates), I can't help but feel disappointed by the lack of meaningful player choices.

The Dev could save sooo much of his time, if he would turn this Game just into a Comic. Most of the Players doesn t care about the Story, they just want to see the FMC getting fucked. My personal wish would be, more influence over Riley. Let her be good, or let her be naughty, but leave this decision to the Players and don t feed the Players with meaningless Choices and the really important scenarios without a Choice. This makes also no sense.

From the outset, the premise seemed intriguing—following Riley as she explores her new life and her deepest desires sounded like a recipe for an engaging and dynamic narrative. Unfortunately, the gameplay falls flat due to its linear structure. Despite the game presenting various scenarios and interactions, the player's choices rarely influence the story in any significant way. Most of the time, it feels like you're just clicking through text rather than making impactful decisions.

The illusion of choice is particularly frustrating in a game that markets itself on player-driven experiences. You often find yourself navigating through pre-determined paths with minimal variance, regardless of the options you select. This makes the gameplay feel more like a passive experience rather than an interactive one. The narrative unfolds in a fixed manner, and any deviation you attempt feels superficial at best.

Moreover, the game frequently introduces new characters and subplots, but these too are constrained by the same lack of player agency. While the storyline with Riley's exploration and interactions has potential, it is undermined by the predetermined outcomes. Instead of feeling like an active participant in Riley's journey, you end up feeling like a mere spectator, which significantly diminishes the overall experience.

One of the biggest letdowns is how the game handles critical moments (for e.g Dean Sequenze in Ep 1, Table Dance Ep 2, Poker Sequenze Ep 3) that should hinge on player choice. Key decisions that could drastically alter the course of the story are often reduced to binary options that lead to nearly identical outcomes. This not only reduces replay value but also makes the player's role feel inconsequential. Another e.g. is the Party Sequenze on the Boat. Riley can act, like she s jelous that her husband get hit on by a beautiful stripper, but later she takes part in Strip Poker Game. What!?!? There are no choices, to avoid this. This makes no sense.

Additionally, the pacing suffers from this rigidity. With no real branching paths to explore, the story progresses in a predictable and sometimes tedious manner. The excitement of discovering new possibilities is lost when you realize that all roads essentially lead to the same destination.

The graphical and audio elements, while decent, cannot compensate for the core issue of a lack of interactivity. Visual novels thrive on the player's ability to shape the story and feel a sense of ownership over the narrative. "Steps of Debauchery" misses this crucial element, leaving the experience hollow.

In conclusion, "Steps of Debauchery" fails to deliver on the promise of a truly interactive visual novel. The lack of meaningful choices makes the game feel linear and uninspired. If you're looking for a visual novel where your decisions matter and shape the narrative, this title might not meet your expectations. While it has potential with its interesting premise and characters, the current execution leaves much to be desired. Beautiful renders alone, are really not enough.

Great content so far, loving the scenes that are currently in. Wish there was more endgame content but it's still in dev. Great so far and can't wait to see where it's headed. The cheating buildup is fantastic and this game has a chance to be another great game.

Version 2.2

This isn't a bad game it's just not a very compelling story. The majority of characters seem like cookie cutter personalities from other stories placed into a largely bland sandbox designed primarily, like most sandbox VNs, to waste your time more than create a compelling environment for a story to take place in. The models are nice and everything is pretty well coded (no major errors) but that's pretty much it. It's not terrible though. It's a solid 3/5. I enjoy the idea of having a character who doesn't really know themself and is learning more about their own desires as the story progresses, but the majority of the time, I also find it hard to care about the events taking place and the majority of tasks are just meant to drag things out in my opinion.

Riley is a very pretty character. The kind of girl who when you meet her boyfriend (in this case husband) you'd give him a thumbs up for getting such a nice pull. The problem is that when Mike is introduced, right at the start, you'll ask, "motherfucker, how?" In what world could this guy get this girl? Why the hell is she with this Goomba? It's absolutely baffling without a good backstory. He looks decades older than her and basically buys his cloths from Goodwill. This guy must have a magic cock or something cause this match makes zero sense otherwise. His personality is practically nonexistent since he cares more about his bar than his wife and the fact that every guy in town is trying to fuck her. He looks like he should be dating her mom, not her. So good work, and I mean this genuinely, on making a relationship the reader will have no problem abandoning as soon as humanly possible. I just wish Riley could figure it out faster because the reader knows it immediately.

Then there's Wyatt. Okay, I gotta know ... was this vampiric debt collector pulled directly from Twilight? This guy is simply there to add nonsensical stakes to Riley's life that seem completely pointless. This character is so badly thrown in I can't even remember why she has a debt to him. I think it was implied that she took money to help with her schooling, but wasn't she on a scholarship at this college? So why did she need this? Was it for her husband's bar? I honestly can't remember. It literally made zero sense and I stopped caring or even remembered the guy was in this until the next Sunday he appeared. Every time this guy shows up it felt like a, "hey, remember me," nope, "I'm still a thing in this story," great, who the fuck are you again? It may be just me but it seemed a better idea to make Riley single from the start or in a newer relationship with Mike. And give her a past relationship that caused her to take on massive amount of debt to help her former lover who ditched her with the bill. This would also explain why she's with Mike at all. Stability goes a long way with someone who didn't have it prior, I'm just saying. As it stands Wyatt is a seemingly pointless insert to try an give a reason for the reader to care at all, but he's so odd and not rememberable that the reader will likely forget about him until he shows up to feel up Riley or fuck her. At that point the reader will be so desperate to plunge her into anything by then it wouldn't matter who he is. He could literally be the most toothless dirty hick and it wouldn't matter.

Then there's the dean. Oof, because we needed another reason for Riley to choose a more successful, good looking character, over her husband? Seriously, is this VN about how many obstacles can a character fuck their way out of? Couldn't the writer think of a better way to get Riley involved with this guy other than have her cheat on an exam because she seemingly isn't as smart as the reader is lead to believe prior to the start? This would have been better if this dean was a man whore with all of his students and called her in to take a special interest in her schooling development to help provide her with guidance and connections in her possible future career. Corruption through future advancement in other words.

There are a few other characters, but overall it all feels like a very slow burn to a story going nowhere. Like watching reality TV and suddenly asking, "what the fuck am I doing?" So, I gave up on this one. I realize there's a newer version of this as of right now, but I completely forgot I had even read this until I downloaded it and saw, "oh, I have old saves." That's when I started clicking through those and started remembering why I couldn't remember it. If you're bored and looking for to something read this'll do. Like I said it's a solid 3/5. The models are nice, especially the girls, and it never gave me any errors to report so that's a plus. If you like this VN don't let anything I've said sway you. And even if you didn't like it, give it a review. Let the dev know why you liked or didn't like it. Help give some constructive criticism. And when you get the chance, if you liked this, give something back to the dev. I wish this dev all the best and hope they've found their audience. Cheers.

Excellent game with loads of potential. The models are all really hot and the pacing is on point, if not a little slow, but it's great for someone what wants a bit of build up. Overall, I really like it. Keep it up!

Well...
The game itself it technically well built.
The user experience (apart some useless mini-game) the quest log, the gallery, the simplicity of the map... everything is to the top standard under the technical point of view.

The main girl character (Riley) is likeable, pretty designed.

Sex scenes are average, fairly represented in their mechanic but not in the eroticism of it .

What it feels short, is my opinion is the plot. I found really not interesting, not very balanced, suddenly jumping from 0 to MAX in no time.
Plus it is vanilla, safe-for-all that is specific for a certain kind of people that like everything predictable and with no "uncomfortable" situations.

Clearly this game target a certain audience and (un)fortunately I am not part of it.

Good luck
