Master of Dark Arts is a story-driven adult visual novel by Moda Softworks, made in Ren'Py with 3D CG art. You play a male protagonist described as a geek, nerd, and physicist serving the Oxland Army in the MoDA universe. The premise follows his encounters with a sorceress, a person connected to the future, and evil beings, mixing magic, science, action, and romance. It includes erotic scenes but is presented as more than simple porn.
The current build is v0.42a Test build, dated June 2, 2023, and development is ongoing. It runs on Linux and Windows, uses English, and is uncensored. This version is a complete revamp test, with major story and render improvements, many scene changes, and distinct personalities for characters. It also revises Daisy and the protagonist, models Miles after Barney Stinson, replaces some scenes, and notes broken censorship and cinematics as work in progress.
