Bewitching Sinners
Curent Progress + R18 Questions
Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well!
Just an announcement on current progress, all scripts are finally edited by my editor so (hopefully) no more grammar issues and typos for the full game build. I'm gonna update her edits to this demo as well, but right now I'm focusing on getting all CG done so I can give out the full game to my Patreon backers hopefully the end of this month or early April for testing and just getting feedback. The final battle CG and coding some CGs in is all I have to do prior to release, basically.
Also there have been questions on R18 content or not for the game. As I have previously posted, I plan to have a R18 update here on itch.io if I receive 10K gross profit within 1 year after release and a Ivar, Dietrich, Seth (one of the other male pureblood witches), and Selfcest (MC X MC) dateable route if I receive 20K gross profit within 1 year. Hope this post clarify things.
Without the R18 content, then at most the raunchiness of the game will be as the image below
Thank you so much for your patience and support!

I have a question, if you will be able to make the R+18, will male MC top? thanks!
I believe in vers supremacy haha so I will prob make both options, and just have players set which position they prefer or something!
omg Vers suppremacy! Best MC are Vers MC, I have another question tho, if we buy the game now and in the future you will make the R+18, we will need to buy it like an DLC? Or will be included in the first buy?
i will probably make it a paid dlc, maybe 2-4 usd tops if just for the r18 add on.
Sorry but I do feel like it will add more work and time spent for the dlc so I would feel like I’ve sold myself for cheap to have it be freely included in the first buy. I love making vns but I do need to support myself too > <.
The r18 dlc will be free for my patrons tho
nah, don't apologise, it makes sense, at the end of the day, it's more work! It was just curiosity
I can't wait :D
hi i've been waiting for so long for it to release and cant wait for it to come out but i've also been wondering if the price of the game is already established because i really wanna have enough money before it releases:)
Oh yeah I'm curious of the same
Sorry for the late reply, I've settled on 18 USD as there is 300+ CGs in total and 16 hr+ worth of playthrough (If I do all quests and try to get at least 2 character routes)
that's amazing to hear, i cant wait and i'll definetly buy it when it comes out:))
Hey, I wonder when it's gonna be released on steam? Can't wait to pay for this wonderful game
Realistically I think it's gonna take until Mid May, as with my progress right now on the final battle CGs , I think I will be finished with everything on 10th April or so and then test it out on my testers and patrons, on itch.io all I have to do is release after that but for Steam I'mma have to add some achievements and compile the trailer (I do have the assets and voice, just need to make it into a video format) and wait for Steam's approval which in my past experience takes 5-7 days, so probably hit itch.io 20 something April and then Steam maybe early May or the latest at May 15th.
I'm hoping to get stuff done earlier, but considering my office job load next month, I'm considering the worst-case scenario.
All right, take your time! Don't let yourself get too tired. It's just a reminder: if you're considering add Chinese in your future games, you can search for an app called 摩点 in China. Many independent game makers are crowdfunding on this app! But I know it takes a lot of energy to promote a game in a new country, so I'm just saying, not forcing you to do anything<3
Because I am abroad, so I cannot use Patreon, if you later have plans to add Alipay payment channels, please let me know! I really like your game and want to support you! Have a good day<3
Unfortunately, I don't have money to donate to you on Patreon. If I did, I would definitely donate. Is it possible to extend the wait to 2 years instead of 1? :( Next year, I will have to start earning money.
Thank you also for making this project, it was one of my first games when I started using Itchio last year. I not only enjoy the romantic moments in it, but also the fight scenes and plot twists. I grew very fond of the characters, even the professor who is very attractive, Good luck with the game development :)
Dang, I really hope it does reach 20k profit. I would pay extra for those things! Lol
awesome update. thanks for the info on 18+ content as well.
Will it be available on steam at the same time?Sadly I cannot use patreon..
I will release the full game on steam as well !
meh, you might make more profit with the option of r-18 content to begin with. but good to know ahead of time.
I agree. There is a huge market for BL and female player r18 games that is and has been severely neglected for too long imo. As a result pretty much anything that hits all/most of those categories at once is going to sell. The majority currently available are geared towards hetero males.
Also, whenever I see a dev dangling a carrot of content people actually want in return for more funding it gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Especially when nine times out of ten either funding or dev promises never pan out the way either side hoped.
100% agree with you. as soon as I see that, I tend to lose interest in the game from the bad experiences and such in the past.
this one looked promising, but at this point, it is way down on the list of things I am interested in.
Thanks for both your feedbacks, perhaps I'll release a R18 game from the get go in a future project to test that. Personally , my past R18 game had a dip compared to my non r18 ones so that's why I didn't want to sell an R18 game from the get go. Now it could be the content/plot itself lacking , or the timing (in 2020), but that's just why I choose to add it as an add on as for me personally, my non R18 games seem to sell easier due to reaching more people (streamers and those who shy from r18 games).
And I understand the asking for money bit, but I will say that, the 10K profit goal has always been reached in all my past projects so it's really just a benchmark of standard in interest and me making sure I have enough money to live for the year.
Ah so 20k is the goal, got it boss o7✨
Looking forward to the full release and official game price! Best wishes for a successful game 🌟💖
I swear, I’m going to make all my friends play this.
