just played; the story is interesting, although it has already been said ad nauseam that it feels too rushed; personally while i do not mind the NTR content I would not mind some other spices; like the protagonist could have a few scenes with the broadsword heroine considering her branded status. Maybe during training, after fighting some monster and in the bathhouse? it feels like a crime its existence and not using it; It could also change how the last meeting with Serras goes.
.
.
Ok, I admit that I hope it is not the final time we see the sword heroine.
Lilian though is similar, considering that we can choose the answer sometimes, i would prefer the ability to actually have scenes between her and the protagonist if they grow closer. instead of just with the Merchant (for example).
If NTR is inevitable in the land route it would add a layer of additional dispair to it; she loves and thrists for the MC, but reach the capital she has to give her body to the merchant, so just just before each merchant event she has one with the MC; first kiss, first blowjob, first time, etc.. each time the MC believes to be nearer and nearer to Lilian, while in reality she is getting farther and farther

Dev's father got diagnosed with cancer so he went to visit them, so there's probably going to be some delays with the updates.

Since the guy above already posted an image, I’ll just leave some dev notes in this update.
About “Stigma of Corruption: Nightbound Courier”
The entire map layout for the game is now complete.
The next phase will focus on polishing details and adding more atmosphere and flavor.
Additionally, the much-requested rewrite of the Merchant Route is already structurally finished.
The biggest challenge for me in this project is figuring out how to portray the heroine’s inner feelings purely through the protagonist’s point of view, which requires a lot of foreshadowing and layered event design.
Key improvements in the rewrite include:
■ About the release schedule (important)
To be honest, I’m still a bit nervous talking about this, but it’s something I need to address.
For the side story:
It will definitely be released within this year.
Because of the additional CGs and new content, the final price may increase,
but the promise of free access for existing supporters will never change.
As for Stigma of Corruption:
I am aiming for a release in the first quarter of next year.
Thank you again for your patience and support.
Your encouragement is what keeps me moving forward, no matter how difficult things get.
Truly, thank you.

Key improvements in the rewrite include:
- Strengthening the heroine’s presence, which was too weak in the demo
- Adding new dialogues and events to enhance emotional expression
- Making the “corruption” and “conflict” arcs more convincing and impactful

Mostly, the update brings two big pieces of information:
Even though the game is getting delayed, at least it will follow his own pace — finishing only when it’s truly ready, with the best writing and detailed artwork.
- We’ll have to wait until the first quarter of next year.
- The Merchant Quest is being rewritten because of feedback about the character development feeling too rushed.

Yea sounds good.
maybe we do get some more good corruption content then, it seemed very passive to me. I liked the general vibe of her succumbing to merchant dude and becoming less resistant to his perversities. The comment of his about her making a good wife was also great. But it was a bit rushed and the fact that it was only the blurry crytal-pics was a bit disappointing. I had hoped for more hidden NTR moments in the game itself (not just CG) and in the convos. Lets see how they are able to expand that.
2 scrapped sketches mind you, meaning they will not be in the game in this form.

So since we’re waiting a year for the next phase.
Do we have a timeline for when the side story is getting released?
I want to assume this month but you said « within this year » and not « this month » and seeing as this is the last month of said year I feel like you actually meant next year.
