2026-04-04
Added Steam Version
Episode 15
This is one of the larger updates — with 320+ new images and animations, Episode 15 delivers major story development.
It continues the paths with Bonnie and Isobel (if unlocked). Depending on your previous choices, you’ll move forward with Anna, Isobel, or venture solo. Due to time constraints, only the Anna and solo routes are currently available. The Isobel branch and extended story progression are coming in the next update.
By popular request, the “Voice” volume slider in the options menu now controls animation sound effects, allowing you to adjust music and moans separately.
Episode 14
This Episode
brings 290 new images and animations bringing the
grand total to 5400
. The main focus in this one is Bonnie (she has a beautiful unlockable adult scene) and the Savior stat that allows you to meet and unlock a new character. You can slowly start a relationship with this new character but she doesn't yet have an unlockable adult scene (coming next Episode), she will also have an unlockable ending in the future. There's a good amount of content in this one but it will seem short if you don't have a relationship with Bonnie or the Savior stat bigger or equal to 4.
Episode 13
This Episode brings 340 new renders including adult and non-adult animations. There are a few very interesting things happening in this one. We get a threesome moment with Jessica and Allison, an erotic scene with Hannah (optional) and one with Christine (optional). All three of them are unlockable in the Replay Gallery as well.
We get a lot of answers about what's happening in the game's world and move on to a new location, a good part of the mystery is uncovered but a few questions still remain. A new "Unlocked Endings" menu can be found in the main menu of the game, it shows 8 possible unlockable endings but none of them are added yet, I will let you know when they are.

Episode 9b
This Episode brings 300 new renders as well as a steamy scene with Christine (if you're in a relationship with her), new sounds, new music and more. In this one we get the other choice that we didn't get in Episode 9, the option to take Hunter's truck and go on the road with Christine, Allison and Hannah. Not only that, but we also get our next stop where some of our next Episodes will take place and we'll bring the kink and the creepy levels up a notch with it.
Episode 9
This Episode brings a lot of content (over 350 new images and animations), some new sounds and a new music track. But, I think the most important thing this Episode brings is a lot of answers, as well as quality story progression as finally, you manage to leave town... And that's a good thing, right?
This Episode is also structured a bit differently, it's basically half of a bigger story arch, the other half to come in Episode 10. After about half of the Episode, you are faced with a choice which will take you on different paths, one of those paths is available in Episode 9 and the other will become available in Episode 10 until finally arriving at a certain destination where the story continues as normal.
Episode 8
This Episode is mostly focused on the main story and Christine but it also offers some quality time with Jessica, if you're interested in her. There are a few things happening, but the most important one is finally finding out who is behind everything that's been happening in town. There are a lot of twists and turns to the story to keep you on edge and make you go "aha! I knew it!", but as usual, things aren't always as they seem. You'll see what I mean when you play it.
Cursed Affection has a long arching story and this Episode is only one step ahead, finding out who is behind everything is not the end, on the contrary. Some questions are answered, but others start being asked as you find out that there's more going on that you initially thought. I'll let you finding out the rest by yourself.
Episode 8 brings around 350 new renders and animations, as well as new sound effects, bringing the total number of images to around 3000.
Episode 7
This Episode brings a bunch of changes and improvements, such as :
Removed the "Special Sex Scene System" for Jessica and Allison and replaced it with normal scenes. The animations are the same but there's a more natural feel to them now.
Reworked all the animations, they now have much better sexual sounds to them.
Added more sound effects and music tracks.
Added a bunch more animations throughout the game (non-sexual).
Episode 7 brings 350 new renders including animations.
There are a lot of things happening in Episode 7 and it's a pivotal one for the future Episodes as you can decide if you want to be in a romantic relationship with Christine or not, so keep an eye out for that. As usual, I don't want to make the game a chore, but you still need to have 5 points with Christine to be able to become intimate with her and there's also a choice that allows you to refuse her if you want to.
The story part of the game receives a massive boost and sets up the next Episode in a big way. There's also a decent amount of content with Anna, if you have her side story. The rest you will have to find out for yourself while playing the game, enjoy!
Episode 6
This is a big one, with over 350 new images and animations, solid story development as well as relationship advancements. In this Episode, depending on your past choices, you can access both Kelly's and Bonnie's sex scenes (lots of animations), as well as a short scene with Allison. If you're having trouble getting them, check out the walkthrough as it explains how to access them. The mystery deepens as you hear the cult's side of the story and learn more about them and their shady leader, Jeremiah.
- Added "Love" stats in the stat window to further track your relationships. This stat will be a must have in order to continue these relationships and side stories.
- Added more animations throughout the game (non-adult).
- Improved Angela's sex scene with better sound effects.
- Added new music tracks.
- Added moving dust particles to some scenes.
Episode 6 is probably the most intriguing one so far, a lot of twists and turns and plot developments. With this new Episode the number of images plus animations are around 2300, resulting in hours of fun gameplay and we're just getting into it.
Episode 5
This Episode
The initial plan
was to add an adult scene with Kelly in it, but because the Episode already has a lot of content, and because I thought it would be a bit early to do that, it was postponed for Episode 6, but trust me, it's worth the wait. I know that Erotica had a lot of rushed adult scenes in its Episodes and I don't want to repeat that mistake. As a result, Episode 5 has few adult interactions but Episode 6 will make up for it.
There were a few small fixes as well, one of them being a change of fonts. The font that the game initially used looked good but there was an issue with it not displaying the arrows in your "Save Game" window so you can move to other pages beyond the default number, this issue has now been solved.
Episode 4
This Episode
is mainly focused on the story side of things, advancing the story lines for both the side characters and the main ones. It brings a lot of content, a total of 320+ images as well as an adult scene with Angela. If you don't know who Angela is and already played Episode 3, then you won't be able to access her scene as she is only made available if you chose "Check on Kelly" at the very end of Episode 2. There is also a short story advancement for Anna but she will be focused upon more in the coming Episode.
The main story line
gets a strong advance in this one, it puts you one step closer to finding the cult but it also lands you in trouble. If you like Kelly then you're in luck, Episode 3 allows you to strengthen your relationship with her and advance it. There is a lot more happening in this one, but I'll let you find the rest out for yourself.
There is also a new "Game Over" bad choice added. This is a simple one, same as the first one in Episode 1. The point to them is to remind you that some actions have unwanted consequences and as we move deeper and deeper into the story these choices will go from simple to complex. That means that soon you might find yourself having to make a tough decision which could lead to a "Game Over" further down the line. These choices are not meant to punish the player for no good reason, the idea behind them is for you to make your own choices and live or... not live with the consequences.
Episode 3
This Episode
brings a total of 350 new renders and animations, new sounds, a lot of stat building choices and the possible unlock of Allison's special sex scene. Jessica's special scene has also been updated with 2 new foreplay animation sets and 2 new intercourse animation sets. Depending on your pick in the final choice of Episode 2, you will also be able to "unlock" Angela which can be enjoyed in Episode 4 if you so wis
Episode 2
This Episode
brings a lot of content, it answers some questions and raises new ones as well as introducing two new girls that you can become intimate with later on. There are also a couple of changes from the initial theme of the game, one of them is that the threesome part of it will be optional as it will have a big impact on the story no matter which way you go. The second change is that the voiced narrator is discontinued because it received mixed feedback, however, it could be reintroduced in the game in the final version and made optional.

A typical DanielsK game, nothing particularly special overall. However, you can definitely see that the visuals have improved. The pregnant girlfriend character is the best. She’ll be there for you no matter what you do. Because of that, cheating on…

It's a shame. It all started out quite interesting, but the further it goes, the worse it gets. Why add a pregnant girlfriend to the main character, thus making every one of his affairs a compromise with his conscience, and…
