Scarlet Law is an adult visual novel from JYP Games, built in Ren'Py with animated 3D visuals. It is set in the land of Scarlet, where a founding law assigns a price to every woman born there. While they remain unmarried and adult, wealthy outsiders can purchase them. You play the male protagonist, whose task is to rescue girls by purchasing their contracts before other patrons do. The story centers on fantasy and harem, with no NTR.
The current build is v0.4.2, released on June 10, 2026, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English, without censorship. This update expands the Scarlet Contracts system by letting girls whose contracts you own appear at midnight for brief interactions. It also adds purchases from Weebs-R-Us, which unlock minor content for those girls, giving players more ways to spend in-game money and reducing repetitive affection grinding.
Developer's description
In the land of Scarlet, there is a law that's existed since its founding... The Scarlet Law. Every woman born into this country has a price tag placed on their head. As long as they are single and of age, the Scarlet Law allows wealthy patrons from faraway lands to purchase and buy women within the country. As the protagonist, it will be your duty to save the girls by buying out their contracts before they are sold... Buy the girls and be the hero of the story...
Note: NO NTR
v0.4.2
We're also basically done with Scarlet Contracts, so I want to add more ways for us to spend $$$ in-game. I've added a new function to have girls (whom Scarlet Contracts you own) appear at midnight and you can have small interactions with them. Obviously it's not perfect and I'm awaiting some feedback to hear what people have to think, but I think it's a step in the right direction. I think it also helps with the monotony of just grinding for affection to see new scenes. There's a little help box that you can click for more information on this in-game, but you essentially can purchase items from Weebs-R-Us (which will be unlocked once you visit it the first time) and purchase minor content for the girls. Again, my goal at the moment is to have people have more ways of spending money in-game now that most of the contracts are done, without having the game feel too grindy (I also did increase the $$$ you get in-game as well as having a bonus for when you work during the weekends).
v0.4.1
This update completes Ferry's arc and shows us what exactly happened during Maid Graduation. There were a lot of nuances that I wanted to add to the story, but I felt that it would have been better to cut a lot of this information short and save it for another time. It was just becoming too bloated with dialog and we needed to have this update ready. Again, I'm really happy that we got good feedback on Ferry and her story so far, so hopefully this doesn't turn you off because I know that she's not exactly an innocent character that we all love.

Fixed some scenes in the gallery to show more of the scene than it should (An example would be the scene in which we are in Serena's POV. Instead of only seeing the final scene, you will now be able to view the entire scene. Might be longer but I think it's better.)

Ok i am not going to write a really long review. There are missing things that prevent me giving 5 stars. 1. MC is a bit of a dweeb (no balls) 2. Limited sex scenes (ones that are there are…

I normally stray away from Ren'Py games because they all kind of do the same thing. This one was interesting because the character design looked normal (compared to demons, insects ect). On the flip side I'm sick of grinding money…
