Story:-
You play as a character called 'Emma', who is starting College in a new city. As she continues through college, she suddenly starts experiencing weird dreams repeatedly. However, the dreams soon take a strange turn as they mix with reality and bind Emma into a contract with her soul on the line.
As Emma attempts to complete the contract, various characters will work with and against her as she unravels a grand plot involving a powerful organization operating in the shadows.
Gameplay:-
CG's feature beautifully drawn images and pixel animations!
Attending class, exploring the city, and interacting with characters are just a few of the many things you will do in this game.
The main gameplay revolves around the domains that appear. Each domain opening up and trapping people within, forcing Emma to fight through various enemies and lewd traps to get the soul fragments she's searching for.
Outside of the dungeons you race against time as Aurora attempts to corrupt you, turning you into a masochistic slave whose only desire is to serve her.
Other characters also will interact with Emma differently, such as Victoria, an exhibitionist ghost who takes a liking to Emma's body.
Some specific gameplay elements include:
Day/Night System – Events and gameplay revolving around specific times. Go to College in the Morning, explore the City at night!
Weather System – Events revolving around weather. Is it sunny, rainy, or stormy? Who knows what will happen when the weather changes...
Pixel Animations and CGS – Carefully drawn scenes revolving around pixel animations and CG's. Map sprites also have been reworked to increase their quality as well!
Visual Novel Character Art – Beautiful character art for every character displaying a range of emotions for each scene!
Corruption Mechanic – As you move through the story various forces will work to corrupt Emma's reputation and personality. Will she be able to resist their influence?
... And a lot more!

Is there by chance a way to transfer saves to and from separate devices?
So I'm wondering about something from the dungeon after thinking about can we potentially get some permanent character changes? Like I wanted her to have a bigger ass can we do that
Howdy! I'm stuck on a black screen after dying to the second stage attack of the first dungeon boss, the slime dude. I've tried opening and closing the game to no avail. I can start a new game, but I'd really like to be able to continue wear I left off. Is there anything I can do to fix my save? I've attached a drive link with my save folder and debug file. link with save fldr and debug file
I think it's a bug of the latest update. I recommend downloading previous one. I wasted two ingame weeks(about 13 min. Which isn't a lot.) of grinding only to end up in a black screen. I play on mobile so i can't help with the file.(on mobile update replaces(?) the old Game With the save files intact. I don't know about replacing the current one with the previous.)
What version of the game were you playing when it happened?
Me? Version 7.0. I can't speak for CruelReality.
ty for trusting my link lol.
Hey! What version of the game are you on?
The latest. v.0.07.00.
Does Laura getting possessed lead to any further events? I can see the screenshot on the game page of her being possessed, but does letting it happen actually do anything? Letting Laura's Mom get possessed easily gets you $1000 and potentially a *scene* in a future version, does anything happen if Laura gets possessed instead?
so i noticed that you can no longer visit the woman in the massage store in the city now, so when will we be able to go back in and how can i reduce the soul fragments from breaking now
Yep. That would be because she's now terrorizing the city xD, you can reduce soul fragmentation in the shop across the street from her.
will we encounter her in any future event?
The teddy said that after finishing the encounter with counselor at university need to attend gym class to proceed kaile (the cigarette girl) story...but it seems not working
You have to manually attend the class. I should probably change the teleport to trigger it as well.
Is it still the intention to add ordering food and dining-in at the restaurant Emma can earn money working a shift at in a combat update or has that been changed? Fine if so, just checking in as I'm invested in your game. I'm just one of those weirdos that likes side content stuff in these kind of games. I want you to be encouraged to keep doing what you want to do, ultimately.
Yep! Not going to lie I kind of forgot about adding that feature as there's been a lot of new stuff added recently. I'll put that on a todo list to get to at some point.
Marvelous! I'm positively excited with anticipation. I don't mean to to annoy you with a second comment about it, I just really like side content like that. Keep up the excellent work! You rock!
Dude can I get a guide? I seem lost

There's also guidance bear in the Kitchen of Emma's apartment.
Pls help. In dungeon 1 when im trying to attack slime for some reason game counts me dead instantly (i got 50 stats in defense,300+ health,68 stats in attack)
Hey! Sorry I'm not sure why that's happening. I would need more information as I haven't heard of an insta-kill bug happening before
So i dodged all slimes that slime boss was throwing at me but when im trying to fight him my character dies instantly like i cant even try to fight him
Yeah that's weird, is this on version 7?
There is a bug on v8.00 that I can't start weekend..just blank screen at morning
This is a backer version bug that's been fixed already.
why did i found town of magic character and UI in one of the scene, is it easter egg or smth
Yep! It's a little easter egg towards the game that inspired me to make my own.
Found a bug (?). Once I entered dungeon 4 the screen goes dark, the music plays, it auto saves and that's it. I can't go to menu and had to exit game to restart it(clicking the auto save file, the screen was still dark). I tried going another day and time, but it still was dark. It occurred after i got defeated with Nora. (so I went inside the dungeon with Nora, fought the mobs, got defeated, started to grind to waste them, prepared to go again with Nora and when I entered... just darkness and music.)
Similar thing in gallery scenes (once it's over it's completed darkness).
In Android Touch, when the game needs to use a sound, like the thunder in Veronica's Mansion, the game fails to load the sound and crashes. Maybe it is the reason for crashes in the Ruins and other places too...
I love your game and played it for a couple of months, every time anxious for a new update with new scenes and mechanics. But I have to say that your game, in Android Touch version (the only version that works in my phone) is pretty bugged, crashing a lot. It kills the fun factor of your game, even knowing that it is a game in development. Every update I'm faithful and download it to play from the begining, only to discover that it crashes in half a hour of play.
I will wait for the next update. I think that new dungeons and new scenes is desirable, gladly, but solving the game crashing issue is more urgent to your game that I love.
I mean no harm to you, but I don't want to lose my interest in a quality game like yours just because of this crashing issue.
In the second room of floor one of the third dungeon, the dream one, what are your supposed to do to move on?
I assume it has to do with the red portal, but I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, looked around for anything interactable, killed all the enemies, and try talking to all of the sleeping NPCs.
There's a big house, enter it and you'll meet the boss, she will open the portal.(you can enter it(the house) after interacting with the red portal).
Thanks, guess I really was just blind as it worked. Thought it was bugged but guess not.
is there bondage?
where an i meet the punk/goth girl?
Any chance of pregnancy?
Probably not, sorry.
I died during the slime boss which caused me to get soft lock.
I got hit by an attack twice in the same attack, died and got two fragments.
Now, I am stuck in a pitch black screen only able to open the menu but none of the menu options do anything.
If there is a way to fix this, please tell me because I haven't been saving and don't want to go through 15 days again.
Excuse me, does anyone know how to raise A. Defense?
do you have any plan up for corruption cause perma body changes? like gyaru...bimbo... thingy, I really looking forward to this type of content xd
Hey! Corruption is a mental stat that connects with Aurora, so it won't cause any physical body transformations. Sorry xD
The bosses feel damn near impossible to beat, if this is a design choice.
Each boss has an 'undertale style' don't get hit before the fight, and because of the engine used, and the fact there's no way to make it easier other then accumilating money and hp, which ups your fragmentation, which there's no real way to get rid of that without blowing more money then you make, the bosses feel like they're designed to make you loose outright.
either drastically reduce the damage they deal, or give us a proper way to heal, as this engine isn't meant for these sorts of 'puzzles'
Going into the full possession ending final room in the ruins gives me typeerror can't set properties of undefined (setting_status) and my game crashes. Any workaround?
Hey! This error is caused by a legacy bug caused by triggering the Ruins side-quest in one version and finishing it in another. It shouldn't occur anymore in new versions. Apologies for the inconvenience.
so is there no way for me to go back there and re-experience the scene. From what I remember I did the Emma non possession route back then and I wanted to see the consequences of getting everyone taken over
Hmm, the error is thrown by a plug-in I use so I'm not 100% sure there's a super easy way to get around it unless you go back to before you triggered the quest.
I cant move the character on my galaxy do you have a work around to fix it?
Never mind i downloaded the wrong android is there away to combine them? Just a question.
There might be a way. I'd have to create a new plug-in probably.
作者大大可不可加入中文，求求你了😭😭😭
If I can find a Chinese translator I'll definitely do it!
Many of the plot points in this version need to wait for the animation to come out, which will be very interesting to play. Looking forward to the next version and playing it.
Glad to hear it!
Would it be possible to make it so that once a certain level of corruption is reached you could essentially stay "possessed" by the slime girl due to a huge breast addiction or something like that?
Not really xD, it would require a lot of work to implement
The Victoria Event is almost an event that I don't know how to trigger, but the bear shows sleeping on weekends.
I had the same confusion. If you do an event at night and it automatically puts you to sleep the event doesn't trigger. You need to click on the bed and go to sleep as your night action.
The time has come.
Bro it's now 28 march...what time the update will come?
Lol, I live in EST timezone. It'll be out at around 5pm EST
Okay bro
Tower of Science? How can I access it? It isn't in the game yet?
It's not in game, no. It's a reference towards a char that hasn't been introduced yet.
How to trigger the Victoria night incursion 1?
Go to sleep at night. I think maybe on a weekend?
I really like this game, but I'm worried since I can't find the game folder on mobile.I have completed the current version and it would suck to go through the boss battles ( it surprisingly gets easier after few tries on mobile tap but still). One problem I have is with dungeon 3 boss, it's too dark to see the ghosts(?). Overall it's great, keep up the great work.
Edit. Forgot to mention. The teddy bear characters part, i can't press Lexi it goes to sapphire.(I was racking my brains to figure out what to do to progress her. Luckily you posted the guide.)
Lol that guidance bear thing is a bug, will be fixed. Ghost thing in dungeon 3 I might have to look at.
Glad you liked the game!
Skin suits are bullying me at the boss and im about to call texas chainsaw on them
This game is focusing on dots rather than illustrations?
Does dots mean the pixel animation?
Thank you for your reply
Yes, I think there were a lot of illustrations in the first chapter
Just found this game and played through the current content and wow was it good! Kinda hoping that we get to see some more bimbo content and if not maybe an ending or scene that goes with the dungeon or loop. Looking forward to the next update!
Love the game so far, but I kind of wish some of the side corruption content was complete, Aurora ends way too abruptly, Sapphire has nothing other than a few possession scenes, and the Taylor line is good it either ends on a very low note or right now has no interest in enslaving Emma.
Again great game can't wait to see where it goes, but wish one of the side routes gets a proper ending soon.
When will be the next version ?
March 28th, 2025
Nice a few days more
Will futa Emma ever make a return in future updates?
Definitely not on the same scale as Dungeon 1. Will she ever have it happen again? Who knows, anything's possible. Could appear in a side-quest or something.
if there's anything I learned about game devs, is when they are being vague, usually a good sign, so thank you for your hard work. Even if it doesn't happen.
are you going to create a new game with similar theme once this one is finished
Not sure, depends how I'm feeling at the time I guess xD
oh man i sure hope so cause this game is really good
