Ardor for Depravity is a Ren'Py adult visual novel by Adventurous Goat, presented with animated 3D CG art. You play as Emily, a woman guided through a medieval fantasy town and its hazards. The sandbox structure lets her meet many characters, uncover hidden potential, and accept desires once held back by shame. Its central themes include fantasy, female protagonist, and sandbox exploration.
Development is ongoing at v0.20, released March 30, 2026 for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English with no censorship. The update brings demo opening images into this version and refreshes the gallery. It also adds a merchant menu display showing expected gold from work, replacing the prologue skip with a Chapter Selection menu that unlocks chapters after completion, and improves compatibility with demo saves.

v0.20
v0.1.2
Updated images from the beginning of the game that were in the demo are now in this version as well. Gallery has been updated accordingly.
Added a display to the merchant menu interface showing how much gold will you make working at each merchant. (You need to start a new game for this to work.)
Reworked the 'skip prologue' system into more robust 'Chapter Selection' system. Now when you finish each chapter of the game a corresponding button will appear in the main menu 'Chapters' screen letting you skip to the start of the next chapter when starting a new game.
It should be now possible to use saves from the demo in this version without getting an error.
Note: It is very much a huge headache to try to keep the saves working between the versions. The saves will inevitably break. That's why I'm introducing the 'Chapter Selection' system.
Reworked the cheat screen to include more stats and overall improved the formatting and layout.
Note: The game is not meant to be played with cheats and is designed and balanced to be best experienced without them. However for those who want an easier experience, without the game basically, feel free to use it, it is there.

The path of corruption gradually draws you into the story. An innocent girl with a mission transforms into a debauched woman to accomplish it. For me, the setting is perfect for a game, and the medieval backdrop is the icing…

Great slow burn corruption game. Its pretty early in development but the foundations are there. It currently doesnt go beyond a blowjob scene for the MC, but there are a few side characters with their own scenes.

It's quite good overall and comes close to a 5-star rating, but just misses it. Now, what follows might sound like a sweeping critique, but it isn't. Rather, it's meant as a suggestion to develop corruption and the story more…
