Sounds like corrupted graphics render. On my version of the game, none of these dungeons cause such issues. Did you try to reinstall the game / run it with lower graphics? Wolf den specifically seems to have weather effects (Grim, cloudy weather) and maybe if that is not rendering properly, it appears as a purple/black mess. Could you name which dungeons specifically give you this trouble? That might shed more light on the issue. (BEFORE reinstalling, you might wanna backup your save file - the game currently only has one active save, its the file named profile.txt or smthing like that.)

I loaded previous save to get a refresher on how this happens. After the shower scene, you buy the monster bait and enter Forest in Afternoon to trigger a meeting with Karyn. This is written in the first "hint" as well. After that, you unlock the pond area, where the followup is to bring 2x monster bait in the morning, and so on. IF, for some reason, you cant do this, then you might have an outdated version of the game, as Karyn story is one of the latest additions. Cant think of any other reason why you cant progress otherwise. There is a link to Karyn progress that is linked to Yumeko too, but I believe that is later.
Yes. If you enable them in court, and go to the court, you can ask them in conversation "when are you due" - they will tell you the amount of days. The closer they get to that date, the more obviously pregnant they will look (belly swollen etc) - and once the day comes, out pops the baby, fully grown already. They will have the same last name as their parent (I think as their mother, but not 100% sure about that), and they will inherit a mix of genes of their parents, as well as one of the randomly selected genders and races. Additionally, the child will always possess the "virgin" perk trait (naturally).
Here is an example of what a child might look like:
If a fiend male and human female have a child, the child can be, for example, a human female with the "leg type Hooves" and "fiend wings" despite being of human race, but possess "pale" skin that the human mother has (basically, the child is considered a human, but has many characteristics of a fiend.
GAME issue that comes with the offspring and gene inherition
Now, since "vagina" and "penis" are both considered genes, the female child will likely also possess the penis trait, inherited from the male parent. There is no ingame way I found out how to remove the "vagina" or "penis" trait from a character once they possess one. This means a "female", which is not characterized as "futa" in the game, can still impregnate other females with a child, or a male with vagina trait can be impregnated. The only way these traits can be removed is by quitting the game and forcibly adjust them in a "save file". Save files can be found in the game folder under Dungeon Keep Her_data in folder "saves" and can be edited with "notepad" - inside, use Ctrl + F to enable "find feature", type the name of the servant and find the correct one, then use find feature to find the "penis" or "vagina" gene trait, and remove it, save the file and restart the game while loading this file. You can also use this to edit the characters forcibly with perks you might want (for example, I give all the servants and prisoners I plan to keep the "Barren" perk trait, which makes them unable to have children. It basically acts as a contraception since there is no way in the game to brew a potion that would do the same. If I wish to remove it later on, it is as simple as using a red crystal on them to remove this "detrimental" perk.
It all depends on the level of your "relations" with them. The higher they are, the lower a fee they will ask. I dont know the exact values, but off the top of my head, it goes somewhat like " 90 or more out of 100, they will "love" or "worship" you at that point, and if you ask them to join you, they will join you for free. If it somewhere between 75 to 89 out of 100, they will "like" or "love" you but will still demand some money to join you are a servant. It is somewhere between 60 to 75 out of 100, they will "like" you and will demand a lot of money to join as a servant. If its any below that, they will most likely decline your offer.
Most prisoners start from "loathe" you which is somewhere between 0 to 15 out of 100 relations. Talking to the prisoner in court to ask "how they are doing" should raise their relations a little bit - but you can only do this once a day unless you "reset daily interactions" by use of some items, like Cider, for example. You can also raise "relations" by giving them specific items, such as "trinket" as one example, or by feeding them before they feed automatically when their nutrition is lowered.
Those who have "warden" perk will gain relations with prisoners faster. You can also raise relations passively - for this, assign the prisoner to be imprisoned in the "treasure room" with the Keeper character, and make sure that you set them to "socialize". This way, Keeper will talk to them on occasion which should over time increase their Relations.
BUT
By far the easiest way to raise a prisoners "relations" is by having lewd relations with them, and pushing them to the "horny" temp perk - this buff has a 30% chance to increase "relations" by 1 every tick. The thing is, since prisoners are prisoners, they cant, in fact, refuse when the Keeper propositions them to have sex. Servants will only agree to have sex (perform lewd actions) based on how much they like the keeper and how horny they are, and "asking to get lewd" is a daily action too, so you can only ask once. But, with prisoners, they will not refuse, In fact, some "servants" can start from "loathe" relations too, at which points it would take days for them to become friendly through normal interactions, and those would refuse to have sex even if significantly horny, and during these days they will often get into fights and shouting matches with other servants, causing trouble.
Easiest solution is to select such a troublesome servant, go to "actions", choose "emprison" in the "actions" in dungeon management screen (I assume typo, meaning "imprison") and select a jail to jail them in. This turns a servant into a prisoner, and reset their "relations" to 0 ("loathe you"). Then, select yes for them for enter court and go into court. In here, they are bound, they "loathe" you and you can force them into sex with 100% success rate, although they will complain and cry and so on (which makes sense, they are being forced upon). If you want to make them compliant, then I recommend selecting the option to "temporarily release" them, and then select "follow me" - this gives them temporary massive boost to "relations" - it will catapult you from "loathe" all the way to "like". Since they are still prisoners, they still cant refuse your sexual advances. So, have them agree to "get lewd" and select your preferred activity. Now let the keeper and prisoner perform it over and over and over again till the prisoner feels like "worshipping" you - at that point, you can cease to have sex and select conversation option "will you serve me" to which they will gleefully agree. If your court has other servants inside and props like toilet/shower, you might wanna check those props first and harvest all the "bottled" resources first. If you want to go AFK while they perform the acts, I recommend selecting "blowjob" option as that one will not result in pregnancy (unless that is your wish, of course).
So, to sum it up: If you have prisoner/bad servant you want to turn into a good, loving servant, first imprison them, enable them for court, go to court, temporarily release them, ask them to follow you, have sex with them and go AFK for some 5-15 mins or so while they constantly perform the naughty, at which point the prisoner will worship you, stop the sex and ask them in conversation option to "serve you" - court automatically ends and you have a new servant who adores & worships you. This is the most efficient brain washing method in the game that I found so far. Other variations of this method includes the use of props like "milking station" or "lust vaporizer" which will increase the lust of the prisoner gradually if used in the court, so you can make em horny without touching them yourself. Naturally these methods can be troublesome and require more effort, but they are still an option.
The game is pretty heavy on memory usage. With 16 GB RAM, it uses about 35% of my machine´s memory while running it in pretty heavily modified "court" with 6 characters + OP. My guess is that the bare minimum to run the game somewhat would therefore be 8 GB RAM. On my laptop, I cant run the game at all as that one is just a regular one for work. I dont believe the game is especially demanding on other resources. My recommendation to try to play it is to turn off various "unnecessary" programs that run in the background if you have not yet, and try to run it with low graphic settings. Also make sure that your graphic drivers are up-to-date. But, if your PC has less then 8 GB RAM, I dont think it will be playable unless its optimized more. But I should also add that I am total layman when it comes to computer specs.
I doubt it. In a way, such decision would hurt the other girls which is not in the protag´s nature, and Hana would not like such a decision on her behalf, either. Even if she did express wish to have protag for herself once. Also, if you are with the current game, consider what Yui tells protag that Hana said (and why Yui was hesitant to take the next step) - it implies protag´s future. But I get it! Hana was my favorite from start, though the other girls grew on me with their stories.
Not sure how I completely misread your comment. Sorry! Anyways, I got the steam version with the two "test" (sniff and convent) mods and one another (romance unlocker) and so far, so good. The installation was exactly same for the Steam version as it would be for the free version. Had to get the mods in their .sbc file version and enabled them via "load mods" in the main menu.
Thank You for the reply! However, I would not refund even if so, You deserve the small funds I can afford to continue Your development! I have a desk PC that is more powerful and while I did not try it yet, I believe I can easily run the Steam 64 bit version there if I wanted to. That said, you are indeed correct! Even though my system is 64bit, its too weak to run the game as it tops out in memory or proccessing power upon loading. So, the issue indeed is my craptop hardware. But, as I mentioned, there is a workaround, and after a lot of trial, I figured out how to trigger it. I will describe it here in case someone runs into the same problem I did. There is a way to force the game into a 32 bit state as is right now with a bit of finesse. It requires the use of the /official 64 bit/ Steam version, and the "free 32bit" version. Here is how I did it:
| Step 1: install the 64 bit Steam version of the game. | Step 2: copy paste the free 32 bit version ZIP file into the steam game directory (usually it goes like: disk/steam/steamapps/common/Succubus stories) Do NOT unzip it yet! First, launch the game in its 64 bit version via Steam. If you have this issue, it will go to white screen for a bit, then "crash" but will actually still run in the background as a "process" | Step 3: While the game is running in the background as a process, try to unzip the 32 bit free version. This will fail mid-extraction, but that is fine, do not try to force the extraction, accept that it failed. |
| Step 4: Run the Succubus stories.exe from the Steam folder directly. If it goes well, it should load as a version 1.1.3 Steam version - you can check it by opening the menu window and checking the text in top left corner. | Step 5: Enjoy the game! I would reccomend turning off steam auto-updates so the game wont "re-patch" itself and I would open if from the folder directly, or set up a shortcut to run it from, but not from Steam library directly. Even if it corrects itself, repeating the proccess should enable it again. |
I hope whomever has the same issue I do find this useful. Hope I did not overstep something with figuring out this "method" to force the 32 bit version of the game. It still requires a valid Steam version to work. Thanks for a great game! If i am overstepping, please remove my comment and accept my apology!
I have a bit of a problem with the Steam version. The issue: After installing the Steam version, when I try to run it via Steam library, or even directly from Steamapps/roaming file, the game starts and is frozen as a white screen. I tried all the usual ways to fix the game, including verifying game data and reinstalling it, nothing works. Occasionally, the game starts as black screen blink and then turns white, and it shows as "loading" on task manager. I tried to leave it for 15 mins to see if it loads and it does not. I play on Win 10 laptop that is pretty crappy - but free version on this craptop works just fine, always. History: I started playing the free version for some 3 days, then I decided to purchase and install the Steam version. I did not remove the free version initially, but since then, I tried to do that in case it would help, and it did not. Solution? There exists a solution. Not sure how, but in the end, I was able to somehow create a "steam" version of the game by fiddling with both the free version that works, and the steam version that does not. This solution gets broken every time I turn the game off entirely, and it shows the game as "not installed" in my Steam library which is not ideal, as I cannot earn the achievements that way. Which is why I would great appreciate any tips on how to solve this or how to fix it if anyone has any idea. Thanks for reading and for potential tips how to fix this! In case this helps, there is a debug file in the game folder that reads a single line of text inside: [1115/025226.649:ERROR:settings.cc(410)] Settings version is not 1
