The new version of Ruin Me is out for patrons! The latest patron version adds a new night music scene and the ability to pierce your character, while the latest free version adds an enormous graduation orgy.
You can always get the current free version on itch.io:
Please note: to upgrade on desktop, unzip the archive into a new directory. Your saves should carry over. Do not unzip over the previous version, as this can cause bugs.

Become a Patron!Version 0.40.0p is patron-only, adding:
- The “Fugue for Innumerable Hands” night music, allowing a dream of disorienting groping. With Permissivity 1, Theresa can join in.
- The ability to pierce the player character in the Sterile Parlor and change your piercings in your bedroom.
- New art variations for certain poses to show the player’s nipple or navel piercings, when appropriate.
- Refinements to the tutorial for better dialogue flow, including cluing Pappy’s gender.
- A line of expository dialogue when Meg can first be involved in training if you haven’t had sex with her yet.
- Minor fixes and enhancements.
Version 0.39.1 is now public and free, adding:
- The Orgy option for Theresa’s graduation, which unlocks when Theresa’s stats are all at 4 and begins by talking to Theresa in her chambers. Up to eight different guests can be invited and there are various routes through the event.
- A few new nomenclature items.
- A fix for a moment in “The Adulterine Soap” when Mrs. Graber makes a grammatical error regarding nonbinary protagonists.

- A fix for Theresa’s lip ring and eyebrow piercing locations when on her knees with her mouth open in certain circumstances.
- Slapping sound effects for certain appropriate moments.

- A fix for a missing label in the Sterile Parlor when transitioning from the tattoo menu to the piercing menu.
- A fix for Theresa’s nose hook in the “on top” pose using an outdated image file, causing a misalignment.

- Assorted minor style and grammar improvements.
