Sacred/Profane
A downloadable game for Windows
Sacred/Profane is an erotic visual novel about a young woman named Sophie and her obsession with BDSM and public nudity. All her life, Sophie's been worried she'll be outed and shunned by her deeply-religious community for her perverse passions. But when a mysterious woman offers her the chance to satisfy her sexual desires, Sophie will need to make the toughest choice she's ever faced. Will she indulge her love of BDSM, sealing her fate as a deviant and pariah in the eyes of her community? Or will she give it all up and reluctantly accept the social stability of a traditional relationship?
Branching narrative with multiple endings.
Support development via Patreon.
Currently there are two versions available for download: the proof of concept and the monthly build(s). The proof of concept (where all the screenshots are from) is an earlier version of the game. The monthly builds are the current development branch. At present, it is in a very early state, with only text and no graphics or audio. A new monthly build will be released at the end of every month, continuously iterating on the game until it is complete. Please read the game's public announcement post for more information and the development roadmap.

is this just a click-through text game?
I looked on the Patreon, but I see only a link to this page there, and that one was only text with a placeholder.
Until the script is finished, yes. I've learned the hard way that making renders with an incomplete script is a waste of time and effort.
I understand & agree.
I'd appreciate btw, if you kept us informed here which latest version with renders is available on your Patreon, so that we can come over and purchase it. Or perhaps you have a Discord where such things are announced? Or you could offer a paid version here, optionally next to a free old/demo version for people to check out?
Good luck with the game. I'm looking forward to play it.
Itch.io is the only site the game is (officially) hosted on. The latest update is whatever the most recent monthly build is. I have no plans to start charging for anything.
When the game is in a (somewhat) more complete state, I'll gladly pay some for it though.
The game sure has potential, and the artwork from the 1.0 version that was here before is really appealing. That's why I may appear to be - and actually am perhaps - nagging so much about it.
Hope to see more soon. Keep up the good work and have a great 2024.
When is the next update to be posted here? has it arrived on Patreon already?
There are updates on the game's status on Patreon, yes. There's nothing to publicly announce at the moment, since the next version is still a way aways.
Edit: On second thought, I think I will put up a public update very soon.
glad to hear!! i've been obsessively checking the page for a while
There's only version 0.1 yet.
I don't fancy playing monthly for a game that isn't there. When Patreon has an update, let us know here plese Then I'll gladly join your Patreon for a single month to get me the game. In fact, you should consider to offer the latest version here for pay, if or not next to a free version.
The devlog doesn't even mention at all if there's a newer version already.
"Public update" means "I will make a public post updating people on the state of the game." I don't paywall builds. All of them will be freely available on itch.io.
Oh, my bad. I was under the impression that newer versions were available on Patreon. In that case I readily apologize.
Looking forward to the next version, which I'll gladly pay some for.
It's been extremely long since the devs had themselves heard of. Any news to report? Is the game abandoned or not? If not, when is a next update due?
If the game is on hold (it was) a public update will be posted on Patreon. I just made one yesterday.
I was on your Patreon previously but I left there because, for quite some time, nothing happened there. If there's an update there, I'll gladly drop by again!
Is there an update already, on Patreon for instance? Or is 0.1 still the newest version? I did, for example, not encounter the last screenshot on this page (Bradley speaking).
There's no Patreon-specific builds. v0.1 is the only version so far.
That scene is in every branch so I'm not sure why you wouldn't have seen it.
I really want to play this game, but I can't read English, and I can't find the .ini file, very disappointed.
This is a wonderful start - the renders are beautiful and capture the MCs emotions perfectly, and the writing is supremely erotic.
Great job. Hoping very much you can sort out the rendering engine issues and continue with this little gem.
Thanks!
Rendering issues are sorted out and the game is in development again, but I can only work on it on weekends so it'll be a while for the next release yet unfortunately.
no linux build?
It's against itch.io rules.
https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines
"Only select the options that you've actually tested running your project on. For example, if you use Windows, and tested your project on Windows, and aren’t sure of anything else, then only select Windows! Misclassifying a project may result in your page being unlisted."
I could test v0.2 on a Linux virtual machine when I release it, but it's not something I use frequently.
I run the game flawlessly on my Linux Manjaro using Steam's Proton Experiemental.
So I presume that it should be possible to get it working on a regular Wine as well.
Good to know. I see Daz with Iray now runs on Linux too, so I might see about switching.
Thanks.
is there still development or is game dead?
https://www.patreon.com/posts/future-71127889
Probably dead due to Daz3D's incompetence, but I will finish the story some other way. Haven't decided how yet.
oh thanks for the reply
https://www.patreon.com/posts/72220784
Probably not dead after all, now that i've sorted out some technical problems.
Will it be possible for her to, at some point, be caught by the police while doing exhibitionist play?
It's a small town, so that would be the sheriff.
The outline has some wiggle room for specifics. I fill those in as I write each update. I can't say it'll happen for sure (for plot reasons) but I am considering it.
The story is very interesting and the lyrics very well written. The visuals are wonderful. I eagerly await the sequel.
Renders are really good and the story promise is intriguing. I don't remember seeing other adult games targeting exhibitionism, humiliation and submission from this angle. Felt really natural while of course taken to 11 for fiction purposes.
I just hope the religion thing doesn't take over too much. I like to enjoy my entertainment without religion and politics even if the views are near to my own.
In this case, the story and the religious themes are the same thing. They can't be separated.
Oh I don't mind the theme, just hope it doesn't go all preachy in any direction. I guess time will tell.
Even if it seems to get preachy, I may pull the rug out from under you later, so you never know.
The description mentions that the main story would be between two women, why are there only men on the screencaps alongside the protagonist?
The protagonist has one male and one female love interest. As of v0.1, neither have been introduced yet.
I see, excited for uptades then, seems promising.
Do you guys know on what range of price the game will be when released?
The game will be 100% free.
Though Patreon donations are appreciated, of course.
