You are Lance, a young paladin from the nearby city. Your job, as demanded of you by the Paladin Radiant, leader of all paladins, is to go to the nearby village and root out a group of nefarious bandits. Simple enough, right? Well...so long as you avoid the temptations which are common to the average person, which may be a little harder to do, seeing as there are many elements for which can arouse your interests. From a sultry fox with a dark past, to dreams which whisper hidden delights that you would never consciously think about, to a strange black goat whose eyes seem to shimmer in a very attractive manner, you'll have to do what you can to avoid falling from grace. After all, your partner, Pike the golden retrieve, is counting on you to come back to him.
There are several endings, some of which you can only receive while naked and/or corrupted. Some of them feature some odd kinks, along with pictures, though I've added a control module at the start of the game, for those of you who don't want to see certain kinks and just want to enjoy what I've made. BEWARE HOWEVER, that if you chose to turn off certain kinks, you will not see certain characters and/or events.
There is a day and night cycle, with night having no 'overworld' enemies to fight but having on screen monsters which will be tougher than that areas monsters.
You will be able to access certain events only during certain times of day, so be warned.
There are bloodstones in the game, rare items which sometimes drop from enemies. You can take these to a special vendor in the market in town to get certain rare items.
You cannot purchase weapons in the game, however you can buy certain base metals from the special vendor and take them to be forged in town. However, because bloodstones are somewhat rare, the sword you get at the 'start' of the game will grow in power with you.

Stupid Question but how do you defeat the thief at the very beginning? Nothing i do seems to work. Always end with a Game Over
Use Holy Binding to prevent him from taking any turns and then whack him.
is there an ending for Pike I have no idea if I'm being really dumb and just can't find it?
Technically no, but you can see him again if you finish the bandit questline.
There will be one in the remake.
hay how do i deal with maze puzzel
If you mean the minotaur statues:
Make the left ones face right, and the right ones face left so that they look at each other.
are the sex scenes text only or is there more to it than just text? like, images, and other stuff.
Some have text, while some have images.
I also heard from some people that the game might be a bit grindy, tho I think they were talking about an earlier version of the game, has the game been fixed to be less grindy or nah?
Not really.
Russ have an ending like the original? How can i get it?
Pretty much like the original:
Go to his farm and help him out on a constant basis.
You will get a quest to help him protect his land.
You will get a quest to help him clear his fields of monsters.
Then you will get one to help him transport some goods.
After this final questline he will ask you to stay on his farm with him.
What are you trying to do exactly?
How could I use the hidden club in the hill?I had enter there,but the NPC said I could get there after change mind.
There's a thief inside of the inn in town, speak with him and he'll take you through the steps you need to get inside of there.
What should I do next step here? I do not know how to unlock here.
You have to get very low corruption before you will be able to advance.
You can do that by talking to Sen, the black goat farmer to the far northwest of the plains area where the tent is and helping him out. After that you just sleep in your tent.
I do not know why,but the purity is lock at 70.I had work for the goat many times,but the purity still lock at 70.This way is useless.However dressed or naked,work for goat has no effect at purity.
The things I can get from goat is just two bad endings.
Go to see him while naked, he'll comment on it.
You should get a small fight.
After that, return to his house at night while nude.
He'll let you in and allow you to work for him.
That will lower your purity.
how do i get my purity to go down from 80
Help Sen, the goat farmer in the northwestern house all the way up the field past the camp.
Sorry, but there's no real way to go back once you start down that road.
However, you can choose to ignore the 'urges' to get the 'good Paladin' ending.
Just help out the town mayor while ignoring everything else and you'll get it.
Not to be terrible, but we need a questlog so we can follow quests, I know you say just to follow and help people, but that's not helpful for someone like me who has issues remembering things. I like the game, just needs some refinement on the UI end
I'll keep this in mind going forward.
I've periodically been getting a bug in this game where the graphics would freeze on a particular frame of output, but the rest of the game would function normally (the BGM would continue to play, sound effects would continue to play as expected on keyboard inputs that produce sound, and the game can even produce a working save file if the in-game menu is (blindly) navigated).
https://steamcommunity.com/app/363890/discussions/1/276237094327448139/?ctp=2 <- Based on my searching, this might be the issue; it seems that there's a bug with the RPG Maker core engine that the game uses. The first post on this thread's second page links two fixes; one is an engine plugin that patches in a workaround for the issue with a brief code snippet, and the other is a community alternative to the entire core script.
While saving the game is usually able to act as a workaround for this issue, having the issue patched in this game would make things far more convenient (and avoid annoyances such as having the bug trigger during a post-boss cutscene... where using the save workaround means losing out on reading some of the dialogue).
Thank you for this!
Really appreciate it!
Hey Is it possible to go back to paladin?(change class back) Cause if not i have to do the entire game over again
Nope.
Once you start the corrupt path, you're set there.
Then how do you get in the mountain or Is that only for the corrupt path? And how do you continue the paladin path
Go to town and speak to the lizard in one of the houses.
He'll tell give you an item if your corruption is 70 or less.
Use this item to get pass the statue, but becareful, because you'll be thrown into a boss fight.
- - - -
As for the Paladin path, just don't do anything erotic:
No masturbating, no getting involved with the dancer in the pub, no getting involved with the goat up north, etc...
thought ill ask is there a certain enemy that has a better chance of dropping bloodstone's?
All of the visible 'nightime' enemies have a higher chance to drop bloodstones.
Thanks! the info is helpful
is there a max for each stat?
I think it should be 255 for the base stats, and 9999 for HP, and 999 for MP.
Hey there! Thanks for your very fun game.
I am currently stuck at quite a few place, though, and I thought I'd reach out!
The main issue is that I want to learn chaos magic, and I've seen on here that you do that from talking to Sen the goat. However, I've never seen them. When I go to their house, whatever time of day or state of undress, I haven't encountered them. Where do I first meet them ?
Thank you!
If you meet him earlier in the day, he'll be outside his house.
Speak to him then and he'll speak with you.
Return to him naked, you have be <70 purity or lower, and you'll get into a mini boss fight.
He'll ask you to come back to his home at night.
thought ill ask is there anywhere in the game where you can just see all the endings or no?
There's not.
You really have to just play through each of the romancable guy's questlines to see them.
I do apologize for this.
all good
How do you find and fight the bandit boss?
Go into the forest, you'll see a scene and fight a brown bunny.
Beat him, and then come back to the forest later on at night to try and find him again.
Continue beating him until he talks about problems with the boss.
After you help him, you can go to the bandit's hideout. The boss will be there.
I'm a little lost in the game. How do I access the main Paladin story quest. Also, I've completed the Sen quest to gain access to CV but I'm not sure how to use it. Also unsure of how to get the Ocarina in the first place.
The path to the village is the main path.
To get the orcarina, speak to one of the villagers in town. They'll tell you about the spirits. Go to the large tree right outside out town and speak to a wind spirit.
Thanks for the help. When I use a tool, I can see quests like Chimera and Port Escort etc. are these meant to be playable on the main path of the game? and do you actually get to return to the order?
No, those are supposed to be dummied out. My apologies.
Only if you complete the main questline, helping the mayor, without becoming corrupt.
so i can not find the secret location that a NPC in the Inn is talking about, care to tell me where is it
Ok.
Along the eastern side of the plains, go up to you see this mountain.
Keep walking along it until you stumble into the hidden area.
when i enter secret cave on third time they said i need a password to go in so where can i obtain it
Go back to the person who told you about the secret cave.
The person will sell it for you.
Hi, can you please tell how to complete Dennis and Lyle's home quest about restless spirits? I completed one about a tree in the forest but is this the right one?
If you defeat the earth spirit at night after getting the whispering orcarina, you then return to the wind spirit and it will give you a necklace as a reward.
Once you get that, you're done with this quest.
How do you get the Kingsmane scene?
It only happens if you take the stripper route, all the way to the end.
Thanks
How do you become a stripper?
Speak to the fox guy while your purity is low, and he'll let you dance with him after staying the night in the inn upstairs above the bar.
Thanks.
by the way I'm a bit lost on how you get Nibbles ending. is it through the underground tournament?
Nibbles doesn't have any ending. He just opens up the tournament and grants you breakfast date.
but there's a image file called ending-nibbles?
Yeah. That's for ease of keeping track of his files for me.
The voice feels really meh to me, personally I would prefer that the scene where pike was going to be sacrificed resulted in him become Lances cock. It would be quite the rewrite to a few scenes but I feel it would make more sense considering the source material and could portray I more interesting dynamic then the current one.
Anyone have any tips for the second fight in the cave where you go to rescue Pike?
Just level up. And fight flowers/plants in the first area to get enough healing items.
If you're really struggling, then restart the game, and after you get Pike, just grind up until you've maxed healing items in the first dungeon, as the flower enemies will give you healing items, and another will give you magic restoring items.
Also, there's a statue you can save at that's broken in the first dungeon, I think it heals you up? Not 100% sure.
could have a public version for us to know the game :(
How do you get the ending for the screenshot you have at the bottom right there?
Get very low corruption, go into the forest naked, fight and then chase after the brown rabbit 3 times while naked, and then offer to get the medicine for the bandit boss. Go get the medicine from the wolf in town. Go back and give it to the boss. Fight him. And you get this ending.
I've attacked many, many brown rabbits in the woods in the nude with purity even as far low as -15 and I still have yet to trigger any scene. what am I doing wrong?
Are you facing off against the rabbit bandit himself?
Because he has a trigger for when you fight him x+ times.
He usually moves around the forest, and there will usually be an interplay of dialogue between him and Lance.
all I keep encountering is the regular brown baba rabbits and I've killed about dozens of them all over the forest maps. is there a specific one in the woods I keep missing?
He in a randomized area everytime you walk in.
This game has a lot of potential but needs more polish.
I like the writing in most of the vanilla sex scenes and some of the kinky scenes (like the Goat's), and the small change in dialogue from 'Pure Lance' to 'Corrupted Lance' is pretty hot. Though the "voice" in his head feels like it just kind of becomes irrelevant later on. There are also some endings, mainly the ones connected to the Canyon that just feel rushed, like the Statue TF just happens instantly right when you step on the platform (in the game this was originally based on, there's at least some description of Lance steadily becoming more statue-like.) The epilogue with Pike is at least a nice touch. Same thing with the Dragon Skull questline. After all that work, you're now at the magma pit and it heads towards you and all you get is "What the heck, get off of me!" before the scene just ends. The Pike epilogue there is okay and at least shows you what happened to Lance but it still feels like more could be added there.
For the RPG part of it, I like that you can't just cheese the game by buying potions or how most of the monsters (not including the ones at the beginning) can't be beat by just attacking and you actually have to balance the use of spells so you can have a good amount of HP/MP left by the time you reach the boss. Still pretty grindy though and I don't know how encounters are set in RPGMaker but I could swear some parts I'd walk 10 steps and get an encounter, Run away, 10 steps, another encounter, and another after that. And some general things are also pretty unclear (though this could just be my fault) like at first I had no idea you had to sleep at the Inn to be able to walk around town at night. If you're already dressed and it's night at the tent, couldn't you just go to town from there?
But as a combination of both, it can really give you blue balls. Not just the aforementioned abrupt endings, but like with the questline with Victory you have to not only solve a puzzle with statues, but those statues are in the corners of a very large Hedge Maze. (also please help, I'm stuck here. I don't know where the statues are supposed to be facing to open the door.)
Have all four statues facing the path leading towards the entry to the next area.
I've been having them face top ones facing downward, bottom ones facing up all this time. Whoops.
Didn't think left ones facing right and right ones facing left. Thanks!
Really like this game
Too bad there's no sprite of corrupted Lance like how he appears in the title screen in game
Technically speaking, you can see him during his fully corrupted ending, if you mess around with Sen, the goat.
I saw it but couldn't play as him so a little disappointed
I do apologize.
How can i learn chaos magic?
And where could get a sword? i can't use holy blade, i need to get other but i don't know where and how
You have to speak to the goat, naked, during the day. He'll invite you home, and then you can start using the magic in question as you get more corrupt and sleep in your tent.
You can get sword from the tiger blacksmith in the town, but you need metals, which you can get from the shop in town, but only by trading bloodstones, rare items you get from monsters. The best time to find such stones is at night, as they drop more easily then.
Got it!! Thanks
And here i was hoping that was how i would end up nude in the village :(
Well, if you become a stripper, technically you do.
How do we buy a house in the Village?
You don't.
It's was planned to be as such, but the idea was scrapped, since it wouldn't make sense.
The MacOS version is crashing on me on launch :<
https://pastebin.com/QwubUFfm
Yeah.
That will happen for some people. I do not know why.
I can send you the Windows version, if you like. Otherwise, Let me know if you'd like a refund.
No need! I have a second computer for gaming. I just wanted to let you know <3
Also is there a Discord link? The one in the description doesn't work.
It shouldn't have expired, but...
https://discord.gg/5UuRpv7
if it's based on that game, does that mean this game also has CTF?
Yes.
Where do you find the password for the hidden cave before the forest?
Go to the inn and speak to the bandit on the second floor.
How do you equip jewelry?
You can after you get high corruption.
How high I have purity -105
Oh!
Go and speak with the goat at his home at night, and he'll change your class for you.
I forgot that. My apologies.
Are you talking about the goat on the farm to the left?
I try going in his house but theres a barrier preventing me from going in
You have to speak to him during the day after walking up to him naked.
That will trigger a scene and a fight and then he'll offer to let you into his home at night.
How do I move the statue in front of the path to the mountains?
Go to town and speak to the lizard in one of the houses.
He'll tell give you an item if your corruption is 70 or less.
Use this item to get pass the statue, but becareful, because you'll be thrown into a boss fight.
How can you find out what your corruption is at?
Press the Pageup or Page Down button.
You'll see a pair of colorful bars which will show you your levels.
Is there gonna be a guide?
Um, not really.
Most of the story follows a simple: Continue helping others to advance the story.
The bug with Russ is still there. Started a new game in version 2.0, leveled up enough, killed all birds and... nothing, no triggering on the next scene and cannot leave the area. I can't believe such a terrible bug is still there :(
Fixed Russ's bird battle.
If doesn't work this time around, I'll just give you a refund.
Killing birds still doesn't trigger anything, but at least I could leave the area, then got back and continued the Russ line. Thank you. I don't want any refunds, that's a strange suggestion. I'd pay 3x more for a nice bara game like this, it just needs to be polished to be really enjoable.
Kay!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
it not open it say do you whit to reopen i have try six time
What system are you using? Mac or Windows?
ma
Sorry for this.
If you can't make it run under Administrator, then I'll have to refund you for your purchase.
i just try but it didnot go i try Reinstall it an udinstall an reinstall
If it still doesn't work, let me get your paypal address so I can refund you.
Wanted to like this game, as I liked the original text game, but really can't recommend as is.
The combat system is unbalanced to the point of unplayable. Even with platinum sword and armor (which takes way too much grinding to get), you still eventually run into enemies that can still knock a 3rd of your health off in one shot. Additionally, if you go the full corruption path you lose all your special combat abilities that prevent bosses from steamrolling you. At that point many enemies become virtually unbeatable without absurd amounts of grinding.
Ironically, the entire combat system could have been axed from the game without losing much content. The entire premise is about the main character becoming corrupted by a lust curse, so it would have been better to just focus everything on the paladin's interactions with the sexy townfolks, either him struggling to remain pure or giving in to lust.
As is, you spend hours grinding to make it through the combat portions only to get a lackluster sex scene without pictures.
TL;DR - Combat is broken and unnecessary. Weak payoff.
