Sicktrace! is a Ren'Py adult game by Eccho Arts, built with 3DCG visuals and sandbox-style exploration. You play a man who leaves his small town for college, facing unfamiliar relationships, friendships, and everyday choices. Branching decisions shape the story, while romance guides many encounters.
The current build is v01.3.3, released March 17, 2026, for Windows and Mac in English, uncensored. Development is ongoing. The update contains 1,347 renders and focuses on Amie, Milica, and Stacey, with Tatum, Evangeline, and Jordy also appearing; Jordy debuts. It adds a freeroam party at Gunner’s house, an optional smaller freeroam event for phone and magazine browsing, and a Chapter 1 bathroom scene giving early insight into Tatum. Code, grammar, and some re-rendered scenes were improved.
Developer's description
Follow the story of a male protagonist who leaves his small town behind to start fresh at college, navigating a world of unfamiliar experiences and relationships.
Your choices will shape his journey, influencing friendships and romantic encounters along the way.
v01.3.3
is ready, with 1,347 renders in total. This update mainly focuses on Amie, Milica and Stacey. Tatum, Evangeline and Jordy also appear in this update, with Jordy making her first appearance here.
The main part of the update is a freeroam scene centered around the party at Gunner’s house. You don’t have to attend it if you don’t want to, you can skip past it and get access to a smaller freeroam event instead, which is mostly there so you can check your phone and look for magazines.
I also added a new bathroom scene in Chapter 1 during the girls’ party. It’s meant to give a little more insight early on into why Tatum is the way she is.
And as always, I spent some time improving the game’s code, fixing grammar and re rendering a few older and later scenes where needed.

Chapter 1 - v0.1 Fix2
We discovered a bug that occurred after getting the "Fuck off" when you refuse Amie's offer. Unfortunately, this issue prevented players from progressing to the garden. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused and have fixed it promptly upon noticing it.
Chapter 1 - v0.1 Fix
One of our character's name "Kyle", raised some eyebrows and caused a bit of confusion, so we've decided to change it to Kylie because we don't want the community to be divided over it and because we value your feedback.
This led to a minor issue with the task bar where Kyle's task wasn't being completed, but we've fixed it in the latest update.
(Even if it is not getting completed on task bar you can still continue the game)

v01.3.3 The story is a slow burn for sure that deals with many things like mental health, video game addiction, corn addiction, not fitting in, etc. It's more a psychological narrative of life then just a free for all romcom…

The amount of effort that's gone into this game is impressive. There's clearly been time and money spent on assets, songs and DAZ work. It's all for nowt however. A rambling incoherent bunch of stuff happens. There are some overconfident…
