Concept
In "Indulgences," you play as a young woman who has just moved from a small town to the bustling city to start university. As you navigate this new chapter of your life, you'll encounter a diverse cast of interesting girls, each with their own stories, goals, and desires. Through your interactions, you'll have the opportunity to influence their lives in unexpected ways, encouraging them to embrace indulgence and watch as their bodies transform. With every decision you make, you'll deepen your connections, unlocking new scenarios, events, and possibilities, all while exploring the pleasures and consequences of a life less restrained.
The current version is a prototype proof of concept with some content to showcase the general flow of gameplay. There is no semblance of balance right now as values are pretty arbitrary so there are many ways to completely metagame the systems, thus I have increased weight gain values so that the game is a lot faster paced just for this version. I will continue to update the game as I can.
What’s Coming Next?
With V0.5 launched, development will continue immediately for the next update. Expect even more content in the future, as there’s still plenty of untapped potential waiting to be explored.
Additionally, Patreon backers will receive new versions of Indulgences a month early as a token of appreciation for supporting the project.
Thank you once again for your ongoing support of Indulgences! More exciting updates are on the horizon!

The sprite quality is exceptional. Fantastic work.
I need other languages for other players, I call out to the production team, please add another language (Turkish for example), this is valid for other games.
error in line 1362. During the event with Sophia at Wcdonalds and you are getting into the booth.
I'm pretty sure its the event for going from stage to 6 to 7.
here where the issue is I think.
Do you think you'll ever add more stuffing stages to further appeal to the stuffing aspect of the game?
This is definitely something I want to look into. While giving all new stuffing stages for every weight stage might not be feasible right now I may implement some cgs that allow the girls to stuff themselves beyond current limits.
I think im at the end of the new content? I have all the girls in as placeholder titles now and it breaks the game if i try to interact with them
I would believe so, I am looking to lock the game at the endgame so this bug doesn't occur anymore and people can continue playing indefinitely even if there is no more new content.
I am getting this and then it errors out and I have to roll back the game
That is odd because all the girls should go up to at least stage 7, are you playing 0.4 or 0.5?
I just checked. Somehow i was on 0.42. I ran the update checker in itch when the announcement was made. I will uninstall and reinstall and see if things change.
OK, so the itch app does not let me install the new version, even with alternate install turned on it cannot see the install. I was able to install from the itch.io website and i can see the new actions and stats for food items. I can update this response again if i run into anything else or i can make a new comment.
So update, I am getting this error. this is the only one i have found so far.
Hazel Stage 9 is bugged for me I can't see the image and several of her stage 8 hangout scenes are bugged. Rebecca stage 9 image is bugged too.Otherwise great game it rocks will continue playing to see if other things are bugged.
stage 9 isn't implemented for any characters yet.
Thanks
liked 0.5 so far though feeding the mc eventually bugs out if she gets too big & the hips disappear for some reason when you check yourself in the mirror and have no description when interacting with the mirror
good to know I will implement a hard limit so that this doesn't occur.
bugs occur if you feed anyone beyond what the sprites allow, like lucy hitting stage 8 despite only having 7 stages or lily hitting stage 9 boobs despite having only 8 stages.
Honestly one of if not THE best games of this type of genre. Easy to get into, amazing character designs that have rich personalities, great art, simple yet complex, hazel best girl, thank you for this game
Thanks! I'm glad I can make something people enjoy so much
Literally GOTY
The game is very good but do you planned to add gallery feature in future?
Yes that is hopefully something I can implement in 0.6 since I would want it to be diegetic to the world. Think a phone that you can scroll through previously seen images.
The game is absolutely amazing... The only sad part is that i cannot support the developer due to limitations in my country...
Sorry for that, I already take a decent bit of time out of development to make patreon worth it and having another platform to worry about would slow development down more than I'd like. Your appreciation and continued enjoyment is support enough though.
Hey, I was wondering if it's okay to use the game sprites to make fan content based on the game? They're very well made, and being able to use them for something like a fangame would really help with getting a start on a program like ren'py.
I would kindly request you don't do that for the time being, I would like to use my own sprites for my own content without having people confuse where they come from.
Understandable have a great day
There are quite a few bugs. The CG with the driveway and Hazel has an error message. There's some code called 'character_weight' that keeps showing up in dialogues. The most glaring problem is how text (often dialogue) sometimes overflows and hides behind the buttons of the UI.
The buttons could do with toggles to know whether they're activated or not, like with 'Auto'. It's difficult for a newbie to remember which building is which, as there's no indication.I wasn't quite sure how to get the maid to increase Stamina, as she never showed up in the gym.
The mechanics are sometimes convoluted, but it's not in a bad way. I was surprised by the amount of depth, and it's the first I've seen of such a system. I feel that more care could go to explanations though. Not sure what 'expansion rate' was too. One of the more harder aspects of the game was attempting to locate the characters to feed them. Often you can be running about, and just barely miss them due to bad timing. Not sure if that's an intended feature or what, but it does making feeding substantially more difficult.
Sophie was my fav! I love her angry glare, her pride, and seeing it slowly crumble apart! Teasing her is fun too. Did I say that I loved her glare? Also love how the MC has choice-dependent builds, it's the first I've seen in a weight game game.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm constantly trying to improve the game so I'll definitely take this into account for the next version.
hey so just played for like 5 straight hours. congratz on making the best wg game ive ever played. this blows noones rpg out the water
Really good game my favorite in recent memory!!!
Wondering if you had any plans to add a gallery? just to see all of the sprites and cgs again
I absolutely love this game, it's soooo good.
I do wish that Sherry had some more poses or something to show off her chest growth, and maybe a weight loss function would be nice too, I made my character a bit too big and couldn't reverse it.
This is amazing! So jealous of the sprite work skills. And the character designs are fantastic too. Excited for what's next and loving what you have now!
非常好的游戏，但 lucy的最后阶段有报错，缺少lucy61
我希望这个游戏能够越来越好，期待新女孩和新阶段
There is no 6 stages on new girls. And i like game so cool i want u to continue working on it tysm.
This game is super awesome! ♥ The sprite work, writing, and gameplay is so fun. I hope you continue this as it's one of my all time favorites, you're doing a great job <3
Hello, is anyone having an issue where you get so far into the game where it shows for the girls their name and not found, and you don't see them any advice would be greatly appreciated.
yeah that's not content that has been implemented yet. It will be resolved in the next version.
how youre doing today can you help me create a game
I think that was not an ideal choice for the name color. It's almost unreadable.
should be fixed in the new version.
how will I know when I get max stage on each girl?
I broke it a lil bit
Well you need to feed your MC atleast once per several days
she gets lighter the more I feed her, so I don't think thats the problem
nah, once bugged it gone worse. what i mean feeding her before turning to -kg
trust me, I fed her a lot. I didn't starve her at any point in the game.
ye, for some reason -metabo, lets u lose weight when eating.
lol sorry, I think something is wrong with the feeding system, I'll look into it.
Just installed it and I already am a fan of it. Unique art plus Stats of all the girls and character inspection of the girl we play !
LOVE IT!! Thank you for taking so much time outta ur days to create a lovely experience like this. It's really, really good!!!❤️
THE SPRITE WORK?!?! ITS AMAZING!!!
THE DIALOGUE?? THOUGHTFUL AND ENTERTAINING (and uhh and hot 2)!!!
YOURE THE BEST
(Stealin' Hazel to be my pfp if you dont mind?)
how tf do i acess the inventor
Unfortunately not in the game yet, I will be making that a focus for 0.6
Found a bug where when I was doing the movies alot to lower metabolism when you hit below 0 which I didn't think would be possible, the game just starts to lower the character weight like crazy, like I was getting like -60 something kg's everyday and it dropped my bust size in to the negatives giving me a invalid sprite and description.
I'll see what I can do. Full stat rework is on the way in 0.6.
A really great VN with beautiful artworks, weight gain progression is at a perfect speed imo. And it still has so much potential, can't wait for the future!
This game looks really good ! But I've a question. There is nudity or sexual content on this game ?
No, not yet.
I must be dumb or something because for the life of me I can't find how to make more money in the new version
The only way to make money is to let the days pass. there are no jobs in the game from what I can tell.
There is now an option in the cafe in version 0.5 to make money.
I love your sprite art style would love to know how you do it! I played the game all the way through with Sophia (I say is best girl) I like the layout of the game mechanic but I feel like they could flow together a little better.
One the changes that would be cool would be for the stat Self-control to affect eating speed & stamina as it would represent the girl's pull to eat growing stronger & stronger turning them slow into a eating machine, the Self control stat decreases automatic with each new weight level.
The next stat I think that also could use a change would be Fitness as is would be cooler if it was link to stamina, as the girl workout to build muscle to have more energy to feast they would have their max Metabolism increase as a trade off for the energy boost. So the player would have to try to balance stamina with fitness to keep the weight gain train going.
Plus the is could sweet to have there weight level to boost there total Metabolistic needs to as well to make a bit more of a challenge to the weight gain train with their being a risk if you have not got the girl's Self-control low another with or feed them stead stream of calories that can go down a weight level. Could lead to some interesting event scenarios on how the girls respond to your neglect.
I almost forgot, I would be cool if Charisma would reduce the cost of hangout's by costing less Affection as one's character builds up there Charisma
And it seems the girls stomach capacity increases in size is not based on how close they are to Max fullness but calories they consumed (at as far as I can tell).
sorry if it's a lot, I got to many ideas running around in my head.
I found a bug that stops you from playing the game.
I got locked out of ALL locations when I was at the map.
I could not go home or visit any location at all.
just press back and all done
I loaded a autosave. (thank god for autosaves)
Also if you get stuck again just choose another action, and the game will auto-send you back home.
Assuming you got locked out at evening.
(should be an easy to fix on the dev side to keep home open 247.)
is this Game gonna be on web
Absolutely adore this game and it's art style, been enjoying 0.3 a lot! Only thing I have to note is that with some of Rebecca's hang out text it goes out of the dialogue box, not sure if that's just on my end or what but thought I'd report anyway!
Yeah it's a known issue across the whole game, since I changed the font and textbox size in this update I've been going through and trying to fix as many of the text overflows as possible.
0.3 update at least 2 days
I wait this update 29 days
29 days!
Do you know how I past these time？
