Friendship with Benefits is a Ren'Py adult visual novel by TwistedScarlett, presented with 2D CG art and themes of fantasy, furry characters, and monster girls. You play a male protagonist in Arcadia, an alternate reality where harmony, ponies, nudity, and an insatiable sexual appetite shape everyday life. The game uses menu choices and includes adult encounters, a gallery, and a crystal ball interface.
Development is ongoing with v2.0, released on May 23, 2026 for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android in English, with no censorship. This update adds a post-finale adult scene with Lily at the castle, plus a club visit after Dawn's route to view sixteen interuniversal pinups. The gallery now always appears, with previews and completion percentages, while the crystal ball keeps its function but gains a cleaner menu. The interface includes a new textbox, menu choices, font, and text-size settings, and the to-do list becomes a dynamic menu. After finishing the game, a day/night toggle appears on the world map, and the textbox hides during adult scenes; legacy v1.0 UI options remain.

v1.20
To celebrate a successful launch, I am releasing a
completely free update which adds 12 new sex scenes to the game
!
+3 Romanceable Girls
+12 new Sex Scenes
Free!
However, these twelve new scenes are being introduced in a unique way. Instead of having obvious new routes which feature these scenes, they've instead been hidden among the world of Arcadia and can be found by exploring the world.
In total, this update adds 13 secrets for you to find, and here are clues to help you find them:
Secret 1: It's time to go werewolf hunting, but we need a +1 to help us out.
Secret 2: What's up with that Bunny, anyway?
Secret 3: Did you know there are actually two dragons?
Secret 4: This is what happens when you get drunk and sleep around too much.
Secret 5: Déjà vu with Honeycrisp.
Secret 6: Cream has a surprise for you.
Secret 7: Someone has another set of lingerie they want to try with you.
Secret 8: This girl is surprisingly flexible. Did you know she used to be a ballerina?
Secret 9: I'm aerodynamic. Big breasts just get in the way.
Secret 10: At the break of Dawn.
Secret 11: Melody finally unleashes her inner femdom. Question is, where?
Secret 12: Working with a Succubus is probably a bad idea.
Secret 13: Talk to the cured werewolf. But, who is it?
All secrets are one time events! However, you can re-experience them using the Crystal Ball and the Art Gallery.
You can keep track of the secrets you've unlocked using the to-do list.
Feel free to start a discussion and help each other find them!
