Inner Self Development Program is a Unity-based adult game by Carnile, built as a semi-open world sim-like title with 2D CG visuals. You play a male university freshman who shares an apartment with a friend starting at the same campus, then encounters a new interpersonal development program. The story is gay-focused and includes transformation themes.
The current build is v0.9.0, released June 6, 2026, for Windows and Mac in English, uncensored. Development is ongoing, and this version has a badly broken save system. The latest update added NPC simulation and spawn features with daily routines, gave each NPC unique artwork, and spread them over seven scenarios, including classrooms, the common area, a hallway, the lobby, the lounge, the mezzanine, and studyrooms. The update totals 105 unique sprites.

No save system; 1 bug breaks the game, and you have to start all over. Every update only updates visuals and art. No sex in the game except the overused stock "watch porn videos" and very overused hypno videos. SO…
Androsduran2025-12-14★★★★★
Appears to be off to a good start. Cannot save and the many bugs lock the game Thus players have to keep going back to the beginning. Recommend allowing CTRL to fast forward the dialogues to make the restarts less…
