Tainted Heritage is an adult Ren'Py game by recreation, using animated 3D CG scenes. You play as a male protagonist whose parents died in a car accident he was driving in about a year earlier. He has recovered physically, but his former company is gone, work is hard to find, and he still owes money for funeral costs and accident damage. Then a letter from his estranged grandmother arrives, bringing strange events and themes of corruption, harem, and monster girls.
The current build is v0.7.1, released October 7, 2023, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The latest changelog entry is for v0.7 and adds a major code overhaul, quality-of-life changes, more preference settings, a redesigned quick menu that can be switched back to the old one, an optional hint system, new and overhauled notes, roughly 1000 new images, and 19 new animations.
Developer's description
Your parents are dead, they died in a car accident and you were the driver. This happened about a year ago and you've fully recovered from your injuries by now. Life goes on, but the company you worked for doesn't exist anymore and you have some serious trouble finding a new workplace. To make things worse, you still have to pay the loan for the funeral of your parents and for the damage your accident caused. Money starts to grow slow when suddenly a letter from your estranged grandmother arrives. Weird shit is going to happen!

tl;dr This is a very promising game that I enjoyed a lot. My recommendation would be that if this has caught your eye you treat this like a demo, smash it out and check back in a few years if…

This AVN is like two of my favorite though slightly flawed games (Harem Hotel and House in the Rift) combined and all the annoyances removed. In addition, it does its full title justice. "Tainted heritage" refers to the insane amount…

This AVN is a schizophrenic Monty Python . The similarities with Hotel Harem are huge in terms of gameplay, animations, 3DGI, and the harem genre, but unlike HH, the lore is broken here. What is going on in the plot…
