"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.

Ok so the sound design in this thing. That's what got me first. The music is this weirdly perfect mix of generic visual novel piano plinks and something almost... tense? Like a horror game waiting to happen. Which, given the premise, is actually fitting. Yuki's got this soft, almost whispery voice in the dialogue, and every time a girl gets too close there's this little audio sting that made me physically lean back from my screen. The voice acting during the more explicit scenes though, that's where it gets interesting. The girls have these breathy, high-pitched moans that feel straight out of a JAV, but Yuki's own grunts are pitched just a touch lower, and the contrast is doing something to my brain I wasn't ready for.

The whole visual style is that clean 3D look, you know the one, where the skin is a little too glossy and the uniforms cling in ways that defy physics. The schoolgirl outfits are the standard sailor type but the artist clearly spent extra time on how the fabric pulls across the chest and hips. There's this one scene in the library where a girl leans over Yuki and the lighting from the window makes her skirt practically transparent. It's not subtle. It's not trying to be. And honestly? The unpolished bits, the slightly stiff animations during the sex scenes, the way a hand will clip through a breast for a split second, it adds this raw, almost amateur charm. Like finding a doujin that's rough but the passion is there.

I keep getting distracted by the UI though. The text box has this weird semi-transparency that sometimes makes the dialogue hard to read against the backgrounds, especially in the brighter classroom scenes. Why not just add a slider for that? It's such a small thing but it bugged me every single time. Anyway, the core loop is standard Ren'Py stuff, choices that branch the story, but the tension mechanic where you have to manage suspicion levels while trying to get close to the girls is actually engaging. There's a moment in the locker room where you have to pick a hiding spot and I genuinely held my breath. The game knows what it's doing with that crossdressing, secret identity kink, even if the dev insists it's just a "standard romance". Sure, buddy. Standard.

ok so this game. it’s called something about sin or destiny, i forget, but the icon is like a shadow with horns and honestly i clicked because i was bored on a certain site you probably know. you play this guy who’s been hiding who he is for 18 years, and then suddenly there’s this devil. not like a scary devil, more like the kind that whispers stuff in your ear and you’re like “yeah okay ruin my life” and you mean it. the whole thing is a visual novel so lots of reading, but the writing is actually not bad? it’s got this weird poetic thing going on where a sentence will start normal and then just. drift into something about silk or shame and you’re like wait what.

the transformation stuff. it’s not just “oh i like dresses now”. it’s more like the character’s whole body is changing, and the devil is helping, and there’s this one scene where you’re looking in a mirror and the reflection isn’t yours anymore but it’s also more you than ever. i don’t know if that makes sense. the sissy angle is there but it’s not like those hypno games where it’s just captions and spirals, it’s more like a slow burn where you realize the guy is actually becoming something else, physically. there’s a futa moment that i won’t spoil but let’s just say the devil has a surprise and it’s not a tail. i wish there was more voice acting, even bad voice acting would be funny, but it’s just text and some ambient sounds that loop weirdly.

the art is. okay it’s not polished at all, like someone drew it in a hurry but also with a lot of feeling? the devil character has these eyes that follow you and the anatomy is wrong in a way that makes it hotter somehow. i kept clicking through dialogue just to get to the next cg and then feeling guilty because the story was actually making me feel things. it’s not a happy game. it’s like if a coming out story was also a horror movie but also a porno. i don’t know who this is for. people who like feeling confused and turned on at the same time i guess. the ending made me stare at my screen for a bit and then i closed the tab and opened it again. so there’s that.

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.

The pixel art is... look, sometimes you just want tits that feel like they were drawn by someone who really, really cares about the weight of them. Farida’s bikini is basically a suggestion at this point, the strings digging into her shoulders because her breasts are genuinely massive, like the kind of big boobs that defy beach physics. The game calls it a social science experiment. Sure. She’s on the sand with a clipboard and an expression that’s trying to be academic, but the way her swimsuit is painted, every few frames the fabric shifts and you get a peek of areola that makes the whole “research” premise feel like a joke you’re both in on.

The pixelart style is weirdly perfect for this, you know? It’s not smooth and glossy like some eroge. It’s crunchy. The pixels on her big ass when she bends over to pick up a dropped pen, god, the artist spent an unreasonable amount of time on the way the bikini bottom vanishes between her cheeks. I kept clicking just to see that one animation again. The contrast between the bright, almost innocent beach palette and the raw adult content is doing something to my brain. The sound design is just ocean waves, which somehow makes the whole thing more intimate, like you’re spying on her.

But the dialogue. I wish the text had the same raw energy as the visuals. It’s a bit stiff, trying to justify the lewdness with a thin layer of plot when honestly, just have her adjust her top for five minutes straight. I don’t need the pretense. The 2d close ups are where it shines, when the camera just lingers on her chest and the animation loops, those big tits barely contained. There’s a scene where she’s writing something and her breasts rest on the clipboard, squishing up, and I forgot what the experiment was even about. Something about social dynamics. Doesn’t matter. The bikini swimsuit is a character of its own, barely hanging on. I just wanted more of those quiet, pixelated moments where nothing happens except gravity doing its work.

Okay so you know those games where everyone's like "oh no we must study hard for the big exam" and then suddenly there's a dick measuring contest in the library? This ain't that. It's way dumber. In a good way? Maybe.

The whole setup is a frat competition but calling it "somewhat unusual" in the description is like saying water is somewhat wet. You got this dude, fresh to university, and he's immediately thrown into this camp thing where the only rule is "prove you're the best fraternity." By... fucking? I think? The game never really explains the scoring system which drove me nuts. Like one minute you're talking to some girl about her major and the next she's bent over a table and I'm just supposed to accept that this counts as points for the frat. What are the metrics here? Endurance? Technique? How much noise she makes? I spent way too long thinking about this. The dialogue choices are bizarre too, sometimes you pick something totally normal and the reaction is like you just proposed marriage, other times you say something filthy and everyone acts like you commented on the weather. There's this one character, the redhead, her scenes are actually pretty hot, I'll give them that. The way the art shifts during those moments, it's deliberately rough but it works. Unlike the blonde girl who just looks confused the whole time. Not in a cute way, in a "did I leave the oven on" way. Anyway I clicked through most of her stuff. The humor lands maybe 40% of the time, which is better than most of these games honestly. Some of the lines made me snort. Others made me wonder if the writer was having a stroke. "You are make my heart become like the fast rabbit." That's a real quote. I think about it a lot. Wish there was more actual frat rivalry content instead of just random hookups that happen to be near Greek letters but I guess that's the genre, right? Visual novel players just want to see tits and the thinnest possible excuse for them. Can't blame the devs for knowing their audience.

The first time you have to make a real decision in this thing, my stomach actually dropped. Not because the choice was some grand political maneuver, but because it was about whether to let a maid keep standing there holding a tray while you figure out your own mess. And the game just waits. No timer, no hint. Just her, looking at you, while you're supposed to be this new king who doesn't even know where the royal fucking chamber pot is. That's the whole vibe. You're Isaac, this carpenter who got yanked into a crown because everyone else with royal blood is conveniently dead, and now there's an invasion coming from some place called the Dark Territory, which sounds like a name a teenager came up with but honestly it works.

The harem stuff creeps up on you. It's not the usual "oh look, five women fell on my dick" routine. There's this one scene with a noblewoman, can't remember her name, where she's basically explaining how marriage alliances work while her hand is already on your thigh under the table. The writing doesn't wink at you. It just describes the heat of her palm through the fabric and then moves on to troop movements. My brain short-circuited. Wish they'd spent less time on the map screens though, those are ugly as sin and you can't skip past the tutorial prompts about grain supplies. Grain supplies! While someone's trying to seduce you in the next dialogue box.

The mystery tag is doing heavy lifting. King Mikhail's death stinks, and not just because corpses smell. Some of the courtiers look at you like they're already measuring your neck for a noose. Got this one advisor who keeps "accidentally" forgetting to mention minor details like which lords want to secede. And then you'll have a sex scene that's genuinely tender, like actually about two people being terrified together, and right after you're back to wondering if the wine tastes weird tonight. The tonal whiplash shouldn't work but it does, like eating something spicy and sweet in the same bite. The medieval fantasy setting is just window dressing for people being messy and horny and scared, which honestly, same.

So I'm imagining a routine. Right. The cemetery keeper's daughter, yeah? She's got this whole goth thing going but it's a small town so it's more like... sad girl in a knit sweater who reads too much. I'd start the dance with this big, heavy coat, right, peeling it off slow like I'm uncovering a grave. But the game. The game has you digging actual graves as a minigame. No joke. Click, click, click with a shovel while your phone buzzes with texts from your ex. She sends nudes. Really desperate ones. And you're just there, in the pixelated dirt, getting a stiffy next to a headstone. The contrast is... something.

The sex scenes feel like they're apologizing for existing. There's this one with the bubbly waitress from the diner, the one who calls you "city boy." She takes you back to her place above the laundromat and the whole thing is lit by the neon sign outside, this buzzing pink light. She rides you and the dialogue is all "oh gosh" and "jeepers" which, I don't know, maybe that's hot for some people. I kept waiting for her to say something filthy but she never does. The writing is weirdly prudish for a game where you can literally see everything. Then the mystery part kicks in and you forget about the sex for an hour because you're trying to figure out why there's a locked room in the funeral home. The game forgets it's a porn game for long stretches. I actually got invested in the dead girlfriend plot, which is annoying because I came here to not think.

The art style is... it's like someone traced over photographs but didn't quite get the proportions right. Hands look like little starfish. But the faces during the cumshots, oh my god, the faces are so blank. Like they're thinking about what to buy at the grocery store. I wish there was a scene with the mortician lady, the one with the severe bun, but the game just teases it. A whole route that goes nowhere. The sound design is mostly just... silence. Awkward, wet silence during the blowjob scenes. You hear the wind outside the cemetery more than you hear the moaning. It's atmospheric, I guess, but not the kind of atmosphere that makes my nipples hard. More like the atmosphere of waiting for a bus in November.
