Is there any chance someone would be willing to upload the latest patreon version? I like the game but I'd much prefer to play it with an easy-to-use cheat menu.
Man's got to make a living. Patreon is my only personal income, if you'd like the the cheat build version, you'll have to make a small pledge ($1 for the Cheat Menu).

When talking to Aaron and asking about ruins I get this error:
Code:
Error: <<if>>: <<else>> does not accept a conditional expression (perhaps you meant to use <<elseif>>), invalid: <<//Does he not want me to go there for some reason?// I wonder. Instead, I answer, "Thanks for the warning, I'll keep it in mind.<</if>> Aaron grimaces, but doesn't comment further. <<if $TomTanya is "Not Played">>[[I'm looking for a young man named Tom who might have passed through.]] <</if>>[[Wanton Cove]] <<if $FirstStatue is "Played">>[[Church]] [[Statues]] <<endif>><<if $Day is 2>><<if $Pastor is "Played">>[[Tell me more about the pastor.]] <<endif>><<endif>><<if $Fountain is "Played">>[[Engravings on the fountain.]] <<endif>><<if $SailorGoo is "Played">>[[White Goo.]] <<endif>><<if $Body1 is "Played"

New build of The Allure of Wanton Cove is all ready go to!

For everyone who is new to my work, check out the free build of the game, it includes everything that appears in the Cheat Build, minus said Cheat Menu. The cheat menu allows you to adjust stats at will which makes finding some content much easier to find, however all content should be reachable without the need for cheats if you know where to look across multiple playthroughs.


"The Allure of Wanton Cove is a dark tale of horror set within the Cthulhu Mythos created by the renowned author H.P. Lovecraft.

You take on the part of a washed up former detective who could never let go of the last terrible case he worked. Content to live the rest of his life at the bottom of a bottle, his former partner comes knocking, begging for his help. Help that he is loath to give until offered a tantalizing clue that could finally unravel the case that plagues his every waking thought. He accepts, having no idea that the truth he will find is infinitely more terrible than what already haunts him."


Changelog 1.05
-Added new dialog option for Aaron related to Azumi's Origins story.
-Added a new scene for Toby/Sophie that can play out several different ways depending on your Etiquette skill.

You have troubles with the Patreon link? The free one shouldn't require any form of signup or anything like that.

Does this have any art in it or is it just text based?
At present there are 44 images in The Allure of Wanton Cove and I commission new pieces every month. We are presently adding art to this game at the rate of about 2-5 new images a month. (Across all my projects, upwards of half my earnings through Patreon goes into adding new art to either this game or my other project Inheritance.)

Actaually you can find the answers to most of that on our wiki.


Madness: This indicates your grasp on reality. Affects how many scenes play out as it rises. Also leads to one of the game's endings if it gets too high.
Taint: This is linked to the M2T transformation in the game. Affects how a huge portion of the game plays as it rises. Not only does it lead to it's own ending if it goes too high, but it also has an affect on several of the other endings in the game.
Mutation: This is linked to the Deep One transformation in the game. Affects how some scenes play out as it rises. If it goes too high, it leads to one of three possible endings depending on your current Taint count.
Depravity: This affects much of the sex in the game. At the start, the main character is a fairly vanilla, straight male. As Depravity rises, more extreme sexual encounters become available to play as well as making the character more willing to participate in sexual acts as their body begins to change.

Hope that helps.

All sex scenes I had the chance to discover increased my Taint, so like M2T transformation is only preventable by not having sex at all?

There are some rare characters in the game who do not spread taint.



Is the TF required?
It's hard coded into the game. It's part of the horror, stripping away the thing that makes you who you are in a way that only serves to emphasize what you are loosing.
