Wow! Thank you for the support it is immensely appreciated!
I don’t want to give too much away but piercing may or may not be a story element later on in the game…
“Corruption” is definitely an influence on ROT. Any game that has step-by-step visual changes is incredibly appealing to me - especially when it’s more than just a light outfit change.
If you like Corruption - try Moniker Smith’s “Bloodlines” too.
