Overview

Saintly Corruption is a turn-based erotic RPG for players who want grimdark sci-fi with a corruption arc. The tone is heavy and merciless, with little room for comfort.

Story

Eliana, a warrior bound by faith, answers a distress call from an ancient voidship and finds its clergy dead, its captain barricaded on the bridge, and its lower decks consumed by rebellion and vice. With no one else able or willing to act, she takes on the task of cleansing the ship deck by deck. Each act of judgment leaves its mark on her, and each compromise makes the next one easier, until the line between purifying the ship and being changed by it starts to blur.

Gameplay

Combat plays out in turn-based encounters as Eliana fights her way through the ship's decks, with outcomes tied to how she handles the guilty and the doubtful she meets along the way. Outside of battle, she can explore the Underdecks, hold sermons, and take part in events that shift depending on the choices made and how far her corruption has progressed. Illustrated scenes mark key moments, reflecting both her victories and the toll they take on her resolve.

Features

Grimdark sci-fi setting with a parody edge beneath the brutality
Illustrated 2D art with animated scene transitions
Branching Underdeck exploration with its own characters and encounters
A corruption system that tracks how far Eliana strays from her original purpose
