The game is a narratively rich corruption visual novel with sandbox elements, with many choices and consequences. Variety of events to experience and guide Emily through, with emphasis on accepting who you truly are and on the tension that it can create in oneself. 

When you slowly move towards something that you are both afraid of but also a little bit excited and don't exactly know how you should feel about it. The contradictory voices within you that tells you on one hand that you should not be doing this and not to enjoy certain things and repress those feelings deep inside of you. And on the other hand your mind produces this niggling thoughts, a little whispers of truth that you don't want to admit to yourself.

Changelog: 

A new version of the game is now available. This release only contains some quality of life improvements and bug fixes.

Updated images from the beginning of the game that were in the demo are now in this version as well. Gallery has been updated accordingly.

Added a display to the merchant menu interface showing how much gold will you make working at each merchant. (You need to start a new game for this to work.)

Reworked the 'skip prologue' system into more robust 'Chapter Selection' system. Now when you finish each chapter of the game a corresponding button will appear in the main menu 'Chapters' screen letting you skip to the start of the next chapter when starting a new game.

It should be now possible to use saves from the demo in this version without getting an error.

Note: It is very much a huge headache to try to keep the saves working between the versions. The saves will inevitably break. That's why I'm introducing the 'Chapter Selection' system.

Reworked the cheat screen to include more stats and overall improved the formatting and layout. 

Note: The game is not meant to be played with cheats and is designed and balanced to be best experienced without them. However for those who want an easier experience, without the game basically, feel free to use it, it is there.

Player Comments of Ardor for Depravity:

The path of corruption gradually draws you into the story. An innocent girl with a mission transforms into a debauched woman to accomplish it. For me, the setting is perfect for a game, and the medieval backdrop is the icing on the cake.

Great slow burn corruption game. Its pretty early in development but the foundations are there. It currently doesnt go beyond a blowjob scene for the MC, but there are a few side characters with their own scenes.

It's quite good overall and comes close to a 5-star rating, but just misses it. Now, what follows might sound like a sweeping critique, but it isn't.Rather, it's meant as a suggestion to develop corruption and the story more evenly.Apart from a few pop-up image names in the tavern, the game ran flawlessly, and I was able to follow the story quite well despite my limited English.The time management takes some getting used to at first, but after 3-4 in-game days, you'll manage it without any problems.If you're given a task at the beginning of the story to ask several townspeople about a job, but can only actually complete three of the five jobs, you'll later have trouble returning to work as a beginner at the alchemist or tailor with full corruption.It would be beneficial to develop the quests alongside each other, instead of focusing on just two or three to quickly corrupt FMC and thus create an imbalance in the story.It's like running around naked in the tavern and getting fucked on the tables, but at the tailor's, you're still playing the untouchable country maiden.

Initial release is good imo, yeah its a bit simple currently but there is clear renders and a good concept. Given time I am sure that this will develop to be a pretty solid game...As long as the creator does not abandon the project like most devs do.

Summary:

The core of Ardor for Depravity lies in the unparalleled thrill of Emily's gradual loss of self and descent into the abyss of desire through her intimate interactions with numerous characters. As the story progresses, Emily's personality transforms from innocent and kind to alien and corrupt, devoid of any sense of guilt, thus triggering even more thrilling events and scenarios.
