Warped Desires explores psychological taboos through a dark narrative-driven RPG. Players guide Eddy, a tavern owner consumed by voyeuristic obsessions, as his fixation on cuckolding spirals into self-destruction. Navigate crumbling relationships, orchestrate encounters between Shelly and adventurers, and confront the consequences of desire in this morally complex tale of obsession and betrayal.
Psychological Degradation System
1. Corruption Gauges: Track Eddy’s mental state across three metrics—Obsession (craving humiliation), Guilt (moral resistance), and Resentment (toward Shelly). Balancing these unlocks exclusive scenes or irreversible breakdowns affecting Shelly’s autonomy.
2. Voyeur Mechanics: Spy on Shelly’s interactions via tavern peepholes or enchanted mirrors. Successfully undetected observations fuel Eddy’s fantasies but risk triggering Shelly’s awareness, altering her dialogue and loyalty.
3. Addiction Loops: Repeated indulgence in cuckolding scenarios grants temporary stat boosts (e.g., tavern profits from scandal-driven patrons) while eroding Shelly’s affection. Cold-turkey abstinence triggers withdrawal minigames with high failure stakes.
Dynamic Relationship Collapse
1. Shelly’s Autonomy Engine: Her responses to Eddy’s actions evolve dynamically—initial reluctance morphs into defiance or manipulative complicity based on hidden "Resentment" and "Liberation" values. Over-pushing may drive her to elope with adventurers permanently.
2. Adventurer Rivalry System: Competing suitors (e.g., mercenaries, mages) pursue Shelly with unique tactics. Sabotage rivals via tavern gossip or forge alliances to stage elaborate humiliation scenarios, each altering Eddy’s reputation townwide.
3. Environmental Storytelling: Festering clues—discarded letters, altered bedroom layouts—hint at Shelly’s offscreen actions. Decipher these to preemptively counter her independence or lean into Eddy’s self-sabotaging impulses.
Consequential Narrative Design
1. Karmic Reckoning System: Early "harmless" choices (e.g., encouraging Shelly’s flirting) compound into late-game catastrophes—bankruptcy, social exile, or Shelly’s retaliatory schemes.
2. Path-Specific Endings: Unlock 7 conclusions, from Eddy’s redemption via monastery exile to Shelly’s domination route where she auctions Eddy’s tavern. Hidden "Mutual Ruin" ending requires balancing obsession and guilt perfectly.
3. Meta-Psychological Breaks: High corruption levels distort UI elements (e.g., dialogue text mirrors Eddy’s intrusive thoughts) and enable fourth-wall-breaking prompts questioning the player’s motives.
