Iris discovers maids
i wish maidswere real 😔😔😔🍆
Hex: Halloween event is back!
I re-enabled the Hex Halloween event! It's still only possible to access this event in the patron edition, however! Free edition players will get to play it too, though, as a new setting to toggle seasonal events on regardless of the time will be coming in the update later this month. Since the setting isn't in the available game clients right now, I basically manually enabled it so patrons can play the Halloween event right now, but it&#...
Holy Magic Arc - Part 1 Preview
Gemma isn't the only old "friend" of Meila's that's been trying to find the demon that took her body. Longren, one of the 16 high inquisitors and the leader of the Gallows Company, is also hot on Iris's trail. But a mysterious man has also been keeping an eye on Iris for an unknown purpose, waiting for an opportunity to interrogate her.As Iris embarks on a journey to the city of Ranbol, both of these figures will put their...
Hex: towel prowl
A new encounter type in the update: exposure play.You can start this by wearing a towel in a populated place, or by going to the bathhouse.You can progressively expose parts of your body to increase pleasure and detection. You can also cover yourself to slow the progression of the detection gauge.You can eventually drop the towel, but doing so makes covering yourself back up a two-step process, so it's extra risky! But it's also extra ple...
Hex: new interactions with Meila!
Meila has a both a hidden "corruption meter" and a hidden "love meter" that will unlock new interactions in the throne realm. While she'll still be standoffish, if she likes Iris enough (and is horny enough) she'll let you mess around for a while before putting her foot down.You will need a metric fuckton of both love and corruption to actually have sex, and this isn't going to be added to the game for a while, so you&...
Postmortem 4: Some stuff I've learned.
This is the fourth and penultimate entry in a series of postmortem posts I'm making for Succubus Stories. You can see the previous posts here, here, and here! In this post, I want to reflect a bit on what I've learned while making this game: about writing, about game development, and even about myself as a creator.I’ve already described how some of my mistakes are (hopefully) making Hexa better game, but there are things I just kind of ...
Hex scene editor
It's very barebones right now, but this scene editor will eventually be available for modders. You still need to write the scenes using the custom markup language I've created for the game, but I hope I can eventually add some additional features and shortcuts.This editor is also useful for me to quickly test VN scenes and see what they look like; I've been using it a lot for writing the update.
Render CGs that never made it into the game.
For one reason or another, these CGs never officially ended up in the game. I'm going through some old files and cleaning up some of my storage and found these unused CGs and thought I'd share them!
Postmortem 3: Things I think I got wrong. :(
This is the third in a series of postmortem posts I'm making for Succubus Stories. You can see the previous post here, and the first one here! In this post, I want to talk a little about some of the decisions I think I got wrong, stuff I regret, or things I think held the game (or me) back.And boy, there’s actually a lot of stuff that I think doesn’t work well in SS. For one, just on a basic level, the core loop of the game is a bicycle w...
Notoriety in Hex
Walking around in the buff, engaging in public lewdness, or generally being annoying will get Iris in trouble in the city. Knights will start to accost you, and if you resist or keep causing trouble, the inquisition may be deployed...There won't be a dungeon in Hex, though I do think I'll add that eventually, but for now you'll have to fight off the long arm of the law, seduce them, or flee. Your notoriety will decrease slowly over ti...
Some miscellaneous stuff that's coming in the Hex update this month
While I'm working on the next "Ranbol Travel Guide" preview, which will be covering the city's historic red light district 😌, I want to cover a few more minor things coming in the update.MantrasMantras are a new piece of "equipment" (or at least they behave like equipment), and grant powerful passive abilities. You'll find and learn new mantras from story events, tomes, and as quest rewards, similar to spell schools...
Succubus Stories novelty hat is now available for purchase! (April Fools)
I told you I'd one day do something more with the infamous dungeon piss bucket someday!Order your very own pre-urinated piss bucket, just like the one Paige can weirdly abscond with from the dungeon in the game! This classy novelty hat gives off a cool, down-for-anything vibe while also radiating with a unique scent that's sure to turn heads.Buy one now!
Postmortem 2: What I think I got right.
Continuing on from the first postmortem, I want to talk about what I think I got right and did well in Succubus Stories.If I had to pick one thing I think I got the mostright, I think I captured a very specific fantasy and a very dynamic-feeling player character. I think Succubus Storiesdoes a good job of providing multiple choices in many situations that have genuine consequences, but also all feel like they're things the player character wo...
I have feelings.
It's a good feeling, but very surreal, too, to be "done" with SS.
"Get Nude, Go Home" is kinda meh
If you're familiar with Secret Flasher Seleka, which is a game I've recommended before, this might look like a similar concept; a real-time 3D flashing stealth game. In execution though, I didn't really like this one, and I didn't wind up playing too much of it.In this game, Nagisa wants to get home, but stuff keeps happening! Like she accidentally forgets to wear some articles of clothing, or her clothes blow off in a freak weath...

Postmortem 1: By the Numbers (Contains Spoilers)
Succubus Storiesv1.0.0 will be coming to the free edition in a few days! So how big is the complete version of the game and how much stuff is there to do? Let’s go over the numbers and talk about it! I will be mentioning some spoiler-y stuff toward the end, but nothing too crazy and there’s no new story content in v1.0.0 to worry about.Over 600,000 total words.This is a big and impressive number, but I do think it’s not as useful as it seem...
Is there anything you guys want to know?
I am working on a sort of postmortem to describe what I've learned from making SS. You know, what I think I got right and wrong, what I regret, what I'm proud of, that sort of thing. But I also wonder if you guys have any questions for me, like about why I made certain decisions. Or maybe if you are planning to make a game someday too, and have any questions to ask me as your pr0n game dev senpai. Or really questions about anything. Anyth...

Patrons may access it here!v1.0.0– Succubus Stories– 2025-03-18After over four years in active development, with this update, Succubus Storiescan now be considered complete. It’s been a fun ride, and the in spite of many ups and downs, many victories and setbacks, we made it to the finish line. While it’s not a perfect game, I am still incredi...
foot worship activity
Version 1.0.0 will introduce a new "foot worship" activity. The player character can infuse her "adoration" into a partner's body to relieve stress and tension, sort of like a massage! Yada yada, succubus magic sex powers, excuses for kissing and licking various body parts.To unlock this, you'll need to earn a new perk based on foot fetish and lesbian progression. This is far enough down the progression line (it's a ti...
features I'm making when I should be just releasing updates instead
This is why everything is always late! I think it would be hot for the player character to sometimes call Charlotte "mommy" but I bet half of you would die from cringe if that happened, so I made a customizable "pet name" system instead.Now the twelve of us who desperately want to call Charlotte "mommy" can, and the rest of you don't have to see that. But just remember that you'll have to live on with the knowledge...
Succubus Stories v1.0.0 coming this weekend
This is the artwork I've decided on. I made some tiny additional edits, but it's mostly option #3, as presented in the poll.The update will be coming this weekend sometime for patrons! The free edition will be getting the update one week later!
Help me choose again!
I took some of the feedback I was presented into consideration and came up with an additional option, presented here as option #3. Major changes include:I tried to find a better image to match the poses, but I had to do some photo editing to make the two images look like they are in similar lighting conditions, but I do think the back-to-back look is better.I made the font of the game title pinkish and used a different more stylized font, plus I ...
Which store page art do you like more?
Remember that this will be a pretty small icon on Itch. I may or may not include the "v1.0.0" on either one, so don't let that affect your preference.Option #1Option #2
SS v1.0.0 coming soon! Hex update will probably be in April.
I am struggling with a thousand tiny weird problems with NG+, like broken requests, traits resetting themselves, duplicate and "blank" items, and more! Fun! Most of these are because the way I initially coded some of this stuff was a bit naive, and nothing has been unfixable or anything so far. But there is even more testing needed than I expected, so that's just something I need time to resolve.Since it's likely the update won...
Succubus Stories v1.0.0 is content complete!
I'm currently testing things. This testing may take some time because, boy oh boy, is NG+ gonna need thorough testing.Since this update is a big deal, I want to release it with some fanfare, so it may take a bit before I actually set a release date. But I thought I'd let you all know that we've hit what is probably the biggest or second biggest milestone in the game's development!
