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

Reviewing Ep. 1.

Normally wouldn't review a first version, but with so many optimistic reviews based on potential, it's worth posting one based on reality.

The renders are good and models well picked.
The story is decent at best, with your round the mill trope of frustrated woman being married to a man too busy with work to treat her well. So she will be tempted by debauchery.

The mechanics as a game are awful. It's Ren'py with open world.
Events are tied to a specific location and time of day, but some locations are unavailable on certain days. If you miss a day you are screwed and have to loop. There will be a lot of sleeping and napping here. At least we're not forced to shower everyday, so that's good?..
The only reason for the open world is to allow 'working' in different places (and hiding collectibles), but overall, due to the otherwise rather linear progression, the open world hurts the game.

If the renders are enough for you to get over a painful gameplay, it might be worth your time. It's not for me though.

I'll leave this at 3 out of 5 for now.

The game shows a lot of promise. The renders are good, the writing is fine, your typical "oh no everything is suddenly making me horny what will I do??" fare but at least the English and grammar is pretty passable.

Quest log is kinda shit, I didn't even find it until I'd crossed off maybe 15 items off it through trial and error (it's in the backpack for some silly reason) and you could comfortably remove somewhere between 50-90% of the navigational and work grinding clicks and lose out on absolutely nothing except fake playtime bloat.

Still, it's a relatively promising game even if it doesn't really seem to have much content as of now, hopefully the author realises they actually have skill and don't have to make a super-grindy tease-fest to possibly make an interesting game. Could be a 4, maybe even a 5, with the right sort of work

Steps of Debauchery (Ep 1 version) is a pretty solid game. The story is not groundbreaking of course, but it is told in a pretty decent manner, with few mistakes and a relatively solid array of charcters, even if a bit too cliche so far. The sandbox aspect of the game is well done as instructions to see the content are clear and it doesn't require needless grinding. Not sure how much of an impact choices will have in the game, though, we'll have to wait and see.

Render quality is very nice and the game does feature a lot of animations. Sound is mostly music so far but it's decent. And at least in my playthrough I found no bugs.

So, for now it's a solid 4 stars, but I could see it easily going up, or falling down. It depends on how it is developed from now on.

Fantastic first release, one of the best I've seen in a long time

Art is great

Story is good

No bugs encountered

Planned tags are looking good too

Corruption female MC games like this are awesome but this is especially high quality, looking forward to many future updates for this.

+ nicely done sandbox
+ redners & animations
+ Music
+ Riley is hot..

-..and very boring right now
- again female mc who has a loser husband/boyfriend
- no "home" fast travel option

4 stars for a good start, we will see what the future holds

Such a great start! Just wow! The first episode took almost 3 hours. Everything is great: the music, the plot, the well-developed world environment. The HQ renders and smooth animations are also impressive. And sexy and shy Riley is the icing on the cake!

I'm looking forward to the next update and I wish the Fooxied team all the best! I highly recommend this game: 5/5 stars!

As the person who named the game, of course I have to give it 5 stars.

The artist, who is the main director of the game, is really great, as you can probably tell from the preview images. Also scenes tend to be around 250 images, which is a lot for a sandbox game.

It also has a lot of upcoming routes, so can't wait for future updates.

Good Luck with the rest of the game!

If the first release and the attention to detail within it are any indication, we've just stumbled onto an Ep.1 of what will soon be a game that will take over this website and be among the premier female protagonist games available.

I've experienced a lot of first releases in this degenerate life of mine, including games that have gone on to stardom like Desert Stalker, The Office, and Project Myriam. The quality of this game's first release, starting from the attention to detail in the main menu (apart from a small typo in one of the lines), is far above most games including even the three juggernaughts listed above. If this is just the start, as the devs refine and continue to improve as most do making these games, it won't be long until this game dominates this site and becomes a top earner on Patreon.

As someone who lives for female protagonist h-games, any others who prefer this genre will not be disappointed. We have a very beautiful main character (as seen in the excellent page banner) to corrupt, and the currently set up situations are quite enticing and of such vast diversity in debauchery situations without spoiling everything right away. And looking at the planned tags, Riley will definitely earn her slut badge with an adventure that should make Anna, Luna, Angelica, Ashley, and all our other favourite slut protagonists proud.

Thank you for making such a high quality female protagonist game Fooxied, I really look forward to seeing whats depths of depravity it, and its star Riley, fall to.

Episode 1:
For an intro, it's quite great, actually took me over 3 hours to go through everything.
It introduces all the characters and plots nicely, and even hints what's to come in the future (Gym, secret path at the park, etc)

There's a LOT of detail in the world, I can tell this project was in the works for a LONG time, way above the levels of your usual 2023 AVN.
We can only wait to see what they have for us in the future though.

There isn't any major sex scenes yet, only a BJ and a lot of teasing.
Plus a quick scene

~~~WRITTEN DURING EP. 1!!!~~~


There's a whole lot to say about this game off of the short, I'll personally call it "beta access" of EP. 1. There is beautiful renders, already engaging characters and devious unwritten plotlines already being developed.

It's a bit jarring and albeit confusing jumping straight into the game, i sat and stared for a couple of minutes at the map not knowing exactly where to go but it isn't too difficult to figure out.


So far, from what I've seen and the characters/situations i met, I'm confident to say that this game WILL become one of the "ultra greats" or a minimum of a 4.3/5 star ranking. Easily. There's so much promise, I just hope that it gets seen through.


TL;DR: Amazing game for an EP.1, hope that it gets a minimum of 10. Worth the sight-see, Don't expect to bombarded with debauchery off the rip!

What a great start to the game!
In ep 1 it has more interesting content than a lot of games on the market.
It reminded me of ''Inside Jennifer '' and ''Innocence and money''.
Keep the great job dev, i will follow for sure.
Art 5/5 (fucking hot fmc)
Story 4/5
Content 4/5
