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, insecurities, 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. 

V0.2 Update:

Player Character Weight Gain

• Stages 1-5 have been implemented.
• Experience different body compositions based on the types of food consumed.
• Encounter random events based on proportional gains when passing time at home.

Revamped Story & Intro

• A completely new introduction and story to set the stage for future content.

Tutorial System

• A new tutorial option is available at home to explain the game’s various functions.
• Some new values and variables have been introduced, though they aren’t fully interactive yet.

New Weight Stages

• Two additional weight stages have been added for each girl, expanding their transformations.

Reworked Feeding System

• Feeding gameplay has been revamped for a more thoughtful, strategic experience.
• Each character now has unique methods of gaining weight quickly, offering more variety in how you approach feeding.

New Events

• Fresh events are available for weight stages 1-4.
• Random events have been introduced for all weight stages.
• Events now display appropriate sprites based on the actions taken.

Debug Mode

• A debug option with special "debug foods" allows you to skip through the content quickly if you want to see all available material faster.

Additionally, Patreon backers will receive new versions of Indulgences a month early as a token of appreciation for supporting the project.
