Misanthropy is an adult kinetic novel created by Cosmic Poptart with Ren'Py and animated 2D CG art. You follow Kim Baxter, a wife, mother, and police officer whose stable life begins to unravel after she meets Hayden, her son's classmate. The story explores secrets, lies, and personal struggles that put her family under pressure. Themes include cheating, corruption, and humiliation.
The current build is v13.0, released on September 2, 2026, and development is ongoing. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac, in English, without censorship. The latest changelog supplied describes v8.5 as adding a new chapter lasting about 30 to 35 minutes, several CGs that support the story, and roughly three main sexual scenes. The update also notes that not every CG is a sex scene.
Developer's description
Kim Baxter is a doting wife and a loving mother. Her career as a police officer is going great, and the promise of a promotion is ever looming closer. So, on all accounts, life for Mrs. Baxter is perfect. That is, until one day, when her path crosses with a young man named Hayden (a classmate of her son's). This encounter triggers a series of events that unearth secrets, lies, and neuroses that threaten to shatter her family's peaceful life.

v8.5
8.5 so completely new chapter with about 30-35 minutes of content.
There are quite a few CG's on this one, not all of them are sex scenes, but do help to enhance the story. There is roughly 3 main sex scenes.
v8.0
there is a completely new chapter, with around about 30-45 minutes long (depending on how quick you read.) there is about 3 sex scenes, but a couple of smaller sex stuff in there as well. And three new character designs.
v7.5
There has been quite a bit added to the 7.5 version:
a completely new chapter with around about 30 - 40 minutes of content.
two new character, but four original sprites.
there are 4 main sex scenes, but there are a few smaller ones in there as well.
a gallery mode is now a available option.
and two major bugs were fixed.
v7.0 - a completely new chapter, with at least 3 major sexy scenes plus some smaller ones.
v6.5 - completely new chapter with three sexy scenes in it, maybe a bit more, added some new sound effects plus music.
v6.0 - latest chapter, new character designs (costumes) about half an hour to forty five minutes of content, with three sex scenes-ish
v5.5 - Here is the latest chapter, about half an hour of content.
v0.5 - A brand new chapter (sort of) about half an hour of content, depending on how quick you... read. sorry for the late upload Christmas time is always a busy month.
v0.45 - A new chapter with roughly half an hour of content. A continuation of the main story. and if you are sensitive to strobe lighting please be careful with this episode, as there is a bit.
v0.35 - just a quick note, there should be a scroller now in the options menu that will allow you to change the gradient of the text bar. So you can have it as light are as dark as you want it.
v0.3 - Still no apk, but there is good news, for the latest version 3.5 I have managed to iron out a few bugs, it's not perfect, but playable. So that will hopefully be available on patreon soon, or next month with the next release. Also just so you know I am aware, there is a glitch in this version. The first hand-job scene for some reason keeps splicing in a later C.G. not sure why, but it does. It has been resolved in the latest version so my apologies for that.
v0.25 - Don't let the 0.05 part fool you, it is in fact a full chapter.

I played this game, the art is average, it's just not annoying, but nothing more. It's text-heavy, I spent the whole weekend reading it. I also want to say that I generally prefer a different genre of games and have…

Actually a surprisingly entertaining game. Somewhat complex characters (compared to other games here) and a nice corruption story. The Visuals are not that great at first., but it grows on you. If you liked Turning the Page, then this is…
MyLifeBeLike672025-12-23★★★★★
The characters are what really sink it. The cucks are so laughably pathetic that there’s nothing to latch onto. The parents’ relationship is impossible to take seriously, especially with a dad who looks decades older, seems clueless about sex, and…
