AdultSpice's adult dating sim, The Promise We Made, uses Ren'Py and 2D AI CG artwork. You play Emma, a young woman who wants to share her life with her boyfriend Nick, but circumstances have kept them apart for a long time. While waiting, she interacts with friends, family, and other people, and flirtation raises the question of whether she will stay loyal or give in to temptation. The story centers on cheating, corruption, and domination.
The current build is v0.5 Part 2, released on June 22, 2025. It is an English, uncensored release for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and development remains ongoing after a personal break. This update opens the game's next phase. Emma starts her morning with a run alongside Gabriel or Mikey, then has volunteer-work encounters involving a weed contact and a police officer. She later visits Martha, shares an interaction with Henry at home, and finishes by going to work.
