About Black Incense

Black Incense blends adult RPG and visual novel play from Himeros Studios, built in Ren'Py with 2D CG and AI CG art. It places a 19-year-old university student in modern London, where a chance encounter reveals hidden occult societies, political intrigue, and forbidden desire. Players use branching choices, character creation, and consequence-driven decisions to shape her personality, relationships, and power structures. Romance, corruption, and cheating are among its adult themes. The prologue includes more than 100,000 words of dialogue, 200-plus custom artworks, and 30 unlockable scenes.

The current build is S01E01, released on December 29, 2025, as an ongoing Season One episode. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with uncensored adult content. Season One Episode One Hotfix 2 fixes incorrect stat tooltips for certain prologue choices, looping audio, missing or misplaced emotion overlays, a manifestation tooltip position, and save/load screen memory. Because of save/load code corrections, saves may not transfer automatically once, though players can manually copy old saves.

Changelog

Season One Episode One Hotfix 2 Note: Saves may not automatically carry over for this hotfix due to certain fixes I had to make to the save/load code. This is a one time issue, future releases will have saves carried over as normal. You can manually copy your old saves into the new folder if you wish. Fixing incorrect tooltips indicating stat changes for certain prologue choices Fixing issues with audio looping Fixing issues with certain emotion overlays not being found Fixing issues with Molly's emotion overlay appearing in the wrong place when encountering the Watcher Fixing the manifestation tooltip appearing off the edge of the screen in the character stats screen Fixing issues with the save/load screen not remembering the last screen you were on Fixed issues where cryptics was sometimes referred to as analytics causing confusion in game. Fixed an issue where if you slept with Yuri and Moshe the fantasising option later in game gave the solo Yuri option instead Season One Episode One Hotfix 1 Fixed issue with the floating Molly face when leaving the Dawnfellows HQ Fixed issue with some narration appearing as the name of the narrator whilst in the backrooms of Dawnfellows HQ Added six new achievements into the game including unlockable tarot artwork Added tooltips for all achievements in game that give more of a hint on how to unlock them when locked, and explain how they were unlocked once they are unlocked Updated the music - there are now three brand new extended tracks for the prologue, S1E1, and nsfw scenes, that come in at 1hr20 minutes of new/non repeated music in total. Season One Episode One Play the first episode of Season One of Black Incense Begin Molly's descent into a strange new world Over 75,000 words of new dialogue (so 175,000 in total so far) 75 new images Prologue Hotfix The Nat first time sex scene (unlocked if Molly goes to Northgate High and is in the rebel clique) crash caused by a missing character definition has been fixed. The character log will now update from non-smoker to social smoker as intended if Molly chooses to accept a cigarette from Esme after successfully hiding the cigarettes from Mrs Poulton. The line starting "The day Josh leaves for Leeds..." now does not repeat for players who chose a Libra star sign. Tooltip boxes should now disappear once an option is selected - they were lingering on some screens before this. I have edited the archetype selection screen slightly so the player has a chance to see their stats for the three premade archetypes before any dialogue box appears asking if they are content with their choice. Changed one mismatched variable check in the Alps gap year branch where the game looked for lower class instead of working class. Molly now has both her legs (!) in the image of her and Josh in the cocktail bar. Prologue Play MC’s life through to the start of the game Over 100,000 words of dialogue Multiple branching choices Character Creation 30 unique sex scenes Over 200 pieces of unique art

Wilwock 2025-12-27 ★★★★★
Extremely promising start, although I think the writing is overly verbose at times. I especially like the potential for cheating content. Hopefully this game gets a lot of attention and updates. Good luck to the dev.

Slop all the way down. From art unchecked for frequent jarring errors (in addition to everything being yellow, everybody has huge mouths with demon teeth, eyes looking different directions, and changes hair and clothing color between images), to writing you…
MyNutella 2025-12-22 ★★★★★
Nice example of how to properly use AI illustrations. It is intruiguing how all the stats are going to influence the story after the prologue. If there were soft animations too it would a 10/10. Can't wait for next udpdates…
