Dark Temptations

Developer's description

Dark Temptations follows the ongoing story of Dean, a young IT professional who reluctantly agrees to a deal with a demon. He gets to repeat the same week as many times as he wants until he's happy with it, and all the demon Sathuriel claims to want is to observe him and enjoy watching his life as he plays out various decisions. Spoiler Like most visual novels, the decisions you make control the flow of the story. But we've taken it quite a bit further; you're expected to repeat Dean's week numerous times, seeking out specific answers and objectives but also exploring a broadening set of locations and characters based on where you go, who you interact with, and how. Planning your week around the characters you want to interact with and mastering the flow of time is essential to success. As Dean explores his city and the lives of the people around him, he learns to unlock changes that cascade back in time, altering his relationships to people and in some cases, their attitudes and even their bodies. The women he gets closer to become more intertwined and as they change, an increasing number of scenes will explore their connections to each other both socially and sexually. Dean's freedom to repeat events, learn things about people, and perfect his approach to situations blurs the line between helpfulness and manipulation. Make no mistake, this game includes a lot of adult situations but it's no escapist fantasy. There are serious questions within about how far is too far and what lines one is willing to cross. And what happens if Sathuriel decides to renege on the deal and leave Dean stuck with awful, destructive consequences? For now, this game is limited to a technical demo that includes the first story for Charlotte, a mildly gothy coworker, and some other shenanigans surrounding their office and the other characters in it.
