Ruin Me 0.62.0.p: Leo Keen Eagle

Hi, perverts! After a tumultuous September and early October for me, it's time for another Ruin Me release! I'll give more details in the upcoming retro, but this one took a lot of design and tuning to come out the way I wanted. It adds a new character, Leo, who's both a potential sex partner and a gateway to some of the weirder writing I've done for this game.

This version has code in it that you won't see the effect of at all, if I've done it right! When 0.62.x hits the public, the web version will start as a free demo that prevents you from starting training above level two or entering the Reform Institute. Anyone who's bought the game will be able to unlock the full version. The patron version has a flag to turn all of that off, so you shouldn't need to unlock anything, even for the private web version. If you see any references to "Unlock"ing in the menus or in-game, it's a bug; please let me know!

Let me know what you think of Leo. He was a bit complicated to write and program, and I want to expand on him later if folks are interested. The vibe I'm going for is "hot guy who is kind of a scumbag but also decent once you get to know him." In later releases, I'd like to add more sex scenes with him, more drugs for him to sell, and (optional) cucking and/or orientation play stuff involving him.

Ruin Me 0.62.0.p makes the following changes:

• Added a new secondary character, Leo Keen Eagle, who can be found at the causeway in the town outskirts. He is a dominant, pansexual cis man who will sell you drugs and potentially play with you.

  •   All interactions with Leo are optional. All drugs can be acquired without being intimate with him.

  • You may submit to Leo in an escalating series of play scenes in exchange for cheaper prices. This is purely a roleplaying option; acquiring his wares does not cost Ken or any other game resource.

  • If you refuse to submit to Leo, he will not pressure you; you may resume submitting by asking about reducing prices in his Business menu.

  • In this release, Leo has two repeatable play scenes. More will be added in a future update.

• Leo offers the following new, fictional drugs:

  • Sedatives, which allow you to sleep without having a nightmare if you take them alone in your bedroom.

  • Teaching tea, which allows you to immediately trigger the next nightmare without waiting for the end of the day if you drink it alone in your bedroom. This makes time pass.

  • Archanum, which gives you a vision of a strange place. This makes time pass.

  • More will be added in a future update.

• Added the Citadel, accessed by taking a dose of Archanum from Leo. This is an optional dream location to explore. Accessing new areas requires you to sleep within the dream and return later. This location will be expanded in a future update.

• Improved the breakfast choice menu in the servants' office.

• Added functionality for a free web demo when Ruin Me becomes a paid release.

• Fixed an issue where asking Terry to wear a random outfit each day would never pick the most revealing version of the starting dress/cardigan (and would cause an error if the only available options were the most conservative dress and/or cardigan).

• Miscellaneous enhancements and fixes.

As patrons, you have access to the Reminisce option in your bedroom, which lets you replay old sex scenes easily. Folks who support at the Center of Attention level get access to an additional cheat menu; the password has not changed.
