Ren’Py Private Dick [v0.1.3] [Cisco Donovan]

Stylish, hardcore erotica in a noir-style conspiracy thriller.

Step into the gumshoes of a cynical, hard-boiled and world-weary private detective . Sam Steele is at rock-bottom, his business dead, his life empty. Until an appearance from his glamorous ex kick-starts a series of extra spicy events.

Private Dick combines a complex, mature story with a diverse cast and creative sexual action.

Red Tie Demo (0.1.3): May 2023
A fully voiced demo with all-new content has been released in May 2023.

This continues the story after the end of the old Kickstarter demo. Old and new content will be reconciled in the upcoming early access build (August 2023).

The final Kickstarter demo is still available to download on itch.io.

While the old demo is still considered canon, the production standards are way below that of the new demo. No voice, no music, some placeholder content. The new demo is standalone and doesn’t require the old demo to play.

NTR Content warning:

I’ve been told this game contains NTR, which I accept. I don’t want to upset, trick or offend anyone. Here are some notes on the content and (planned future content):
* This is a darkly comic game with mature and complex themes.
* Almost every character you meet is a manipulative, scheming asshole. This is not a nice world (but a good one to misbehave in)
* Infidelity occurs often, but it’s not a kink, it’s always victimless, and it’s never heavy. If a wife cheats on her husband, it’s with good reason and he honestly doesn’t give a shit. And that’s explained directly in the story.
* The player character is not cheated on at any point.
* Basically this is a game about sex, not relationships.
* The overall arc of the game is positive and tries to show the best of humanity in the worst of circumstances. There may be a few heavier moments to come, but they will pass quickly.
