itch.io

This is a free demo. A few days ago the update got the full version.

The rest of the game will not have many choices. It will focus on finishing the story (which will be very different depending on your decisions) and on the happy endings - showing what happens a few months later, again heavily influenced by your choices. But there will be no more bad endings - only a few “gray” ones and many happy ones.

La suite du jeu n’aura pas beaucoup de choix. Elle servira surtout à conclure l’histoire (qui sera très différente selon vos décisions) et à présenter les fins heureuses - ce qui arrivera quelques mois plus tard, là encore très dépendant de vos choix. Mais il n’y aura plus de mauvaises fins - seulement quelques fins « grises » et beaucoup de fins heureuses.

The walkthrough was updated.

La solution a été mise à jour.

Yes, the walkthrough was updated.

Oui, la solution a été mise à jour.

Cette mise à jour contient le climax de l’histoire et se termine au moment où Riley est en sécurité (ou morte, si vous avez fait de mauvais choix).

This update contains the climax of the story and ends at the point where Riley is safe (or dead, if you made the wrong choices).

No, this update doesn't include this

Yeah. Sorry, no happy FMFMF family :(

Depends on the route. All routes will take about 40 minutes, but some of them (bad ends) are quite short.

Already uploaded, you can download the new version.

I am working on this. Hopefully today

If you chose one Love Interest but start an affair with another character, it usually ends badly.

Merci beaucoup - ça me touche vraiment.

Oui, toute cette situation est frustrante. La politique de Steam est difficile aussi bien pour les développeurs indépendants que pour les joueurs, mais ils le font à cause de la pression des prestataires de paiement. Steam ne veut pas risquer de sanctions ni de restrictions sur leurs méthodes de paiement, donc ils bloquent de nombreux projets qui sont pourtant parfaitement normaux et acceptés ailleurs.

Malheureusement, les petits développeurs comme moi n’ont quasiment aucun moyen de contester ces décisions.

Mais j’apprécie sincèrement ton soutien, peu importe où tu choisis de jouer à mon jeu. ❤️

Good evening.

Yes, Steam doesn't allow me to publish the game in Early Access, so here are much more content, and the next update (that won't be on Steam) is coming.

Bonsoir.

Eh oui, Steam ne me permet pas de publier le jeu en accès anticipé. Voici donc beaucoup plus de contenu, et la prochaine mise à jour (qui ne sera pas disponible sur Steam) arrive bientôt.

Sorry, but not

That's strange. After purchasing, you should have a link to download it.

Ok. here's an alternative link 

Thank you for purchasing my game!
Please download cheats.pdf. There you can find fetish queen cheat code (red letters)

Thank you for purchasing my game!

Version 0.7 is the newest one, and right now I am working on updates. The last report was published yesterday and you can read it here.

You don’t need to pay again for all further updates, including the final version of the game.

I will continue updating The Better Deal here up to the final version here, so you won't need to pay one more time (unless itch admins will have another plan).

Yes, the lesbian sex content is optional. The MC can have sex with Hunter (the thug), and the entire previous update focused on expanding the MC–Jose side story, which includes plenty of straight sex content.

Please, guys - don’t give advice if you don’t actually know the answer.

Hello. No difference in content, but the images and animations are heavily compressed, so you may notice artifacts.

Thank you!
In the cheat codes menu, you can adjust Hunter’s and Amy’s love points. However, if you’ve experienced Amy’s latest love scene, her points are already at the maximum. No further increase is planned - Amy already loves Lisa with all her heart, and it’s simply impossible for her to love her any more than that.

Merlin is a very fitting nickname. Merlin protects us from malware links ;)

I really hope everyone understands that there simply cannot be anything useful in such links. I always publish the game update on itch within the first couple of days after release - long before the game can be pirated and uploaded to alternative sources.

So please, don’t fall for those “HERE super-new VIP-premium version” posts. Such a thing just cannot exist.

Some ending will include pregnancy, but not in the nearest updates.

You can find it here, at the Fetish System

Just at some endings, not in the nearest updates.

Yes, my bad. I had GOG account and was logged in so it took one second.

If they don’t remove my games, I will continue updating them as before.

Yes, Change.org works for all regions.

It would be great if you support petitions like this one https://chng.it/5YnpB5hGgd

Please check on walkthrough, pp. 33 - 36.
The upcoming update will include a great extension of Amy's route.

It's far from uncommon for a law intended to solve one specific issue to unexpectedly be applied in a completely different area—one not anticipated by the lawmakers. So if the law doesn't explicitly state any exceptions (like NSFW content), then it applies to that as well.

If someone need an example, you can use mine. 

Just one more thing, guys: our representatives can't directly support Senate Bill S.401 because he serves in the U.S. House of Representatives, not the Senate.

However, there's a House version of the bill, known as H.R. 987 – the Fair Access to Banking Act, introduced by Rep. Andy Barr (R–KY)

(actually, @thejaxx5 mentioned that)

For some reason, it doesn't work for me. But I was able to find my representative here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Beauty and the Thug, upcoming update

Hey everyone,

The recent pressure from payment processors has led to the delisting of legal adult games at itch.io. This is a troubling sign of how corporations, not governments, are deciding what creative content is allowed, even when it’s completely legal.

There’s a bill in the U.S. Senate right now — S.401, the Fair Access to Banking Act — that could help stop this censorship. It would prevent banks and payment processors from blacklisting legal businesses or content based on political or social pressure. If passed, this would give platforms like itch.io the freedom to host lawful content without being financially choked.

If anyone here is from USA and experienced with creating petitions, please consider starting one to support this bill and raise awareness in the indie dev and NSFW creator community.

This is how it starts — a few companies quietly taking the power to decide what we’re allowed to make, sell, or buy. Let’s not stay silent.

No, unfortunately Beauty and the Thug doesn’t have Chinese translation.

But my other game, The Better Deal, is translated into Chinese Simplified.

I have finished one out of three major events I had planned for the upcoming update. More details will be in my next report on Monday. You can also join my Discord or follow me on x-twitter to stay updated.

Just move the slider and click Save at the bottom of the screen.

However, cheats don’t work in the free version.

That's right, I forgot about them. After my accound had been hacked, I restored everything except for cheat codes. I will add them today
