"FaithBound 2": Build Your Faith, Break the Rules
In "FaithBound 2", you take control of the decaying Temple of Aphrodite, an unconventional cult hiding behind the facade of a cathedral by day. Gather funds, grow your following, and invest your "harvest" into upgrading the temple, all while keeping the authorities off your scent. Expand your religion through weddings, baptisms, sermons, and other events that allow you to reach a wider audience. You’ll need to maintain appearances to avoid unwanted attention!
When night falls, the temple only gets more interesting... Participate in wicked ceremonies, summon creatures through dark rituals, or initiate new nuns into your faith. Only these activities will generate the profit needed to pull a forgotten religion out of ruin.
Once you’ve collected your (perfectly legal) hard-earned money, you can invest it in numerous temple renovations. As you progress, you’ll unlock new possibilities, such as tending to your own garden or sending missionaries to do the dirty work.​

bruh this game is like someone fed a my hero academia fanfic through a google translate blender and then sprinkled AI art on top. the tits look like water balloons filled with regret and ochaco’s face changes ethnicity between scenes. i’m not even mad. it’s the visual novel equivalent of a deepfried meme and i respect the lack of polish. like, deliberately unpolished. you can feel the dev going “fuck it” after every line of dialogue.

the setup is you’re some loser student at UA who suddenly gets a power and now you’re making deku and bakugo act out your porn brain fantasies. there’s this mechanic where you go “leader” or “tyrant” paths but honestly it’s just a vibe check for how much degradation you want. i clicked tyrant once and mid-scene momo’s schoolgirl uniform just evaporated, not even a tear animation. chef’s kiss. the writing has that special “english as a fourth language” flavor where deku says things like “you have made my body feel the strange feelings” and i’m sitting there wheezing.

one minute uraraka is confessing her love, next minute she’s bent over a desk with dialogue that sounds like a bad hentai subtitle crawled out of 2006. the harem aspect is chaotic. characters forget they’re supposed to be heroes. todoroki shows up for two lines then just… leaves? i keep thinking about the background. it’s a jpeg of a classroom that’s stretched wrong, pixels crying. why did they stretch it. it haunts me more than the actual porn. the gallery button didn’t work until i refreshed three times. this game is a beautiful disaster, a shitpost you can fap to sort of. mirror’s edge for degenerates but the ledge is wet paint.

So I'm playing this thing, right, and my first thought is why does the art look like someone drew it with their foot but in a good way. Like outsider art where the proportions are all wrong but it makes you feel something real. Hilde's face sometimes melts into weird shapes during the sex scenes and honestly that's more interesting than those polished hentai games where everyone looks like plastic dolls with dead eyes.

The game is about your wife selling her body and you're okay with it. The whole setup is so matter of fact. You wake up, you talk to Hilde, you decide if she should take more clients today. The money counter goes up. Then you can fuck her in different places around the house. Vaginal, anal, titjobs, blowjobs, the usual menu of options. The writing is translated by someone who clearly hates english and I respect that. "Enjoy her body by having sex with her" is an actual sentence in the game and it's so blunt it loops back around to being poetic.

I wish there was more weirdness with the clients. You never see them really, just implications. The NTR tag is there but it's more like cuckolding as a lifestyle choice rather than that gut punch betrayal feeling you get from good NTR. Hilde seems fine with everything. You seem fine. Everyone's fine. It's almost too chill for what's happening. The slice of life tag is doing heavy lifting here. Just another tuesday, honey's getting railed by some guy named Client 3, did you pay the electric bill.

The sex scenes have this rhythm where you click and things progress but sometimes the text gets stuck and you have to click the same spot three times. Not a bug, probably. Feature. Makes you work for it.

I gotta say, the whole "check their hands and teeth" mechanic got me good the first time. You're Sarah, holed up in this shitty apartment while the RAG virus turns people into these massive, mindless things that keep knocking. And you have to decide who to let in. The first visitor seemed normal enough, some guy looking for shelter, but then I noticed his fingers were swelling right there in front of me and I slammed the door so fast. My heart was actually pounding. That's the thing about this visual novel, it tricks you into thinking you're playing a standard survival thing but then Sarah starts changing too and suddenly you're not sure if you're trying to save her or just watching the inevitable.

The weight gain progression is wild. Sarah's body just balloons scene by scene, her tits getting heavier, her ass spreading wider, and the game doesn't shy away from showing every detail. There's this one visitor, I think his name was Marcus or something, who keeps coming back and the way he talks about her transformation, like it's the hottest thing he's ever seen, it gets under your skin. The psychological horror part isn't just about jump scares, it's about how tempting it becomes to just give in and let the virus take over. One ending had her so massive she couldn't even move anymore and honestly I just sat there staring at the screen.

The eight visitors all have different kinks and secrets, and some of the dialogue is genuinely unsettling mixed with being incredibly explicit. I wish the game tracked which visitors you've encountered across playthroughs though, because I kept forgetting who I'd already seen and it got confusing. The BBW expansion stuff is front and center, no subtlety, and if you're into that specific niche of horror where the monster is also weirdly seductive, this hits different. Just don't expect polish, the whole thing feels rough around the edges but maybe that's the point.

Ok so I'm clicking on this girl. Cherry Bubblebelle Delphinium. What a name, right? Like someone threw anime and candy into a blender. She's this fusion of Princess Bubblegum and Sakura from Naruto, which is a combo I didn't know I needed until my brain started doing backflips. The whole thing runs in browser, no downloads or whatever, which is good because my laptop is already crying from all the... research files.

The first thing you notice is how unpolished it is. Deliberately so, I guess? The 3d model is... there. She's got pink hair and a vacant stare that somehow makes the whole thing hotter in a weird, janky way. You just click on her. That's it. Click her shoulder, she kinda twitches. Click her chest, and there's this awkward boob physics moment that feels like watching a mannequin come to life but only halfway. I laughed. Then I clicked again. I don't know what that says about me. The lack of any real game mechanics, no dialogue trees or stat tracking, just pure tactile poking, is almost meditative? No, that's a stupid word for it. It's more like poking a weird science experiment with a stick.

There's this moment where if you click her skirt enough times, the fabric sort of glitches and you get a panty shot that feels like you broke the game. And that's the reward. The whole "dating sim" tag is a lie, there's no romance here, just you and your mouse cursor and this silent, blinking anime princess who exists only to be touched. The crossover aspect is completely unhinged. Why does Sakura's forehead protector look like it's made of gum? The cozy tag is also a joke, nothing cozy about the dead silence except your own breathing. But I kept going back to it while scrolling Twitter on my phone. It's like a fidget spinner for degenerates. Award for Best Use of a Single Animation Loop, I guess. The bubblegum pink color palette is honestly kind of nice though. Wait, I said it was unpolished. It is. But the color is nice. Forget what I was talking about.

so i loaded up living with belle last night, right, and the first thing that hits me is how weirdly specific the whole roommate setup is. like, you're just some guy and belle is there and then other girls start showing up. the dialogue trees are pretty basic but honestly that's not why anyone's here. there's this one scene where you can just keep poking at her while she's trying to watch tv and the way she reacts changes like four times before she finally snaps. that kind of stuff is more fun than the actual sex scenes sometimes.

the art is... fine. not gonna pretend it's groundbreaking. some of the poses look a little stiff, especially when the clothes come off. but the writing has this dumb charm to it. belle calls you a pervert in like six different ways and one of them actually made me laugh out loud. i don't remember which one. the sound design is basically nonexistent which is weird because there's a whole music toggle in the settings and it does nothing. i clicked it like ten times. nothing. maybe my browser is broken.

oh and there's a minigame where you have to sneak glances at her changing without getting caught. it's stupid easy but the fail state is funny because she just stares at you deadpan and says "really?" and you lose affection points or whatever. i failed on purpose a few times just to see how low it goes. she doesn't kick you out which is honestly unrealistic. if my roommate caught me doing that i'd be dead. anyway the other girls are fine, one of them has a weird accent that comes and goes. the whole thing feels like a fever dream you'd have after watching too much anime and eating gas station sushi. not that i've done that. recently.

So the first time Violet pulls you into that little compartment behind the passenger car, right? Her tail is already curling around your thigh and she's got that look. You know the one. Like she's been waiting three centuries just to taste you again and the train's endless rocking only makes it worse, or better, depending. Her tongue, forked and impossibly long, traces down your stomach while her fingers, all six of them somehow, work at the clasps of your royal attire. And the sounds she makes, these wet little hums against your skin, it's like a hymn to some forgotten god of wanting. The voice work there, that breathy catch when you grab her horns, I've listened to it like twelve times. No shame.

But then you're back to the passengers and honestly some of these sinners have more compelling backstories than others. The nun who drowned her entire convent? Riveting, couldn't wait to unlock her final confession. The merchant who cheated on his wife with a harpy? Felt a bit phoned in, like the writer was just ticking boxes. The adjudication mechanic where you literally pick who gets reborn, it's brutal. You spend all this time romancing someone, maybe even getting their lewd scene, only to damn them back to the pit because you need their soul currency or whatever for Violet's next upgrade tier. The game never really explains why demon queens need soul currency but it's there, a little counter in the corner.

Wish the futanari content wasn't locked behind such a specific dialogue path with the elven rogue. Missed it completely on my first run and I was pissed. The game doesn't signal it at all, you just have to stumble into asking about her "hidden blade" at exactly the right moment. Which, fine, discovery and all that, but come on. At least the scene itself delivers, all desperate grinding and that moment when she's just, fully, impossibly, filling every available space. The voice actress for that character, whoever she is, deserves something nice. A trophy maybe. The whole thing runs in browser too, no fuss, though the save system likes to forget your choices sometimes. Which I guess is thematic? Memory and damnation and trains that never stop? Still annoying when you lose a good scene.

You ever notice how these Renpy things always have the same font? Like someone at a convention decided this is what "adult visual novel" looks like and nobody argued. Sorcerer Slayer has that font. But it also has a plot that actually made me stop clicking through dialogue, which is rare.

The setup is weirdly specific. Your dad dies, you skip the funeral because he was a dick, and then some woman shows up with news that flips everything. Turns out the guy who killed mages for a living left behind a son who's suddenly got magic in his blood. That's a solid hook. The writing leans into the awkwardness of it, not just the power fantasy. There's a scene early on where you're trying to hide a glowing hand from a neighbor and the dialogue options are all terrible in a realistic way. I picked the one about allergies. She didn't buy it.

The adult content is there, obviously. Parody elements keep it from getting too grim. Some of the fantasy jargon gets repetitive, and there's a point where the mystery woman explains the magic system for what felt like four screens of text. I started tapping the spacebar and accidentally skipped a sex scene, which is the opposite of what you want. The renders are decent, nothing groundbreaking, but the character designs have personality. One of the mages looks like she wandered in from a different game and I respect that.

I wish the game let you be more of an asshole about the whole situation. You're a professional killer, but the dialogue often forces you into "confused everyman" mode. That tension never quite resolves. Still, the twist on the usual chosen-one nonsense kept me reading longer than I planned. Not sure if that's a compliment or a warning.

So my partner and I, we're always looking for games where you can just be a total degenerate without the game judging you for it, you know? This one, Dual Ascension, it starts with you and your best friend, classic setup, and there's this whole magic world and "progression fantasy" thing. Honestly I zoned out a bit on the lore because the main thing, the absolute core of it, is this "secret technique" you unlock. It's basically a cheat code for getting people naked. The first time it clicked, I actually laughed out loud. You're in this tense standoff with some elf guard who's way too serious, and the dialogue options are all like "try to reason" or "use the technique." You pick the technique and suddenly the whole scene just derails into this absurdly detailed, very explicit encounter. The writing doesn't try to be poetic, it's just... direct. "He pulled down her trousers and she gasped," that kind of thing. It knows what it is.

The art is... a choice. It's got that slightly off model, indie visual novel look where sometimes a hand looks like a bunch of bananas and other times the lighting on a pair of tits is weirdly perfect. My partner kept pointing at the screen going "why is his neck so thick?" during a supposedly sexy scene and we'd just lose it. But then, I don't know, the next scene would have this genuinely hot setup with a catgirl and the jankyness somehow made it hotter? Like finding a dirty magazine in the woods. It feels more transgressive than those super polished 3D games that try too hard. There's a part with a slime monster that I wish had more branching options, but it won't be updated so whatever.

We played it on the browser through that itch.io app, and the save system is a bit of a mess, I lost my progress once after a particularly good scene with the blacksmith's daughter and I almost threw my phone. The fetish stuff is there, it's not shy about it, but it's woven in without a big neon sign. It just... happens. One minute you're talking about mana cores, the next you're reading a very detailed description of something involving a tail that I won't spoil. The comedy lands more often than it should, mostly because the main character is such a horny idiot. There's a running joke about his "mana reserves" that's basically just a stamina bar for sex and it's the dumbest thing I've ever loved.
