The new version of Ruin Me is out for patrons, adding a new minor ruination and some quality-of-life improvements!
You can always get the current free version on itch.io. For information on what’s new in the free version, check out the previous update post.
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 0.53.0p is exclusive to patrons for a limited time and adds:
- A new minor ruination, “Rescue a Welcoming Couple”, letting you help a couple become comfortable with nonmonogamy. These scenes have consensual cuckqueaning (a wife getting off on her husband fucking other people). It’s available in the cellar of the Reform Institute in Act III once Theresa has informed you about the “birds”. There are now five birds sequences available, but only three are required to progress the main story.
- A new menu for Byron in the style of the one used in Theresa’s chambers.
- Update to “The Mica Sign” expedition so that certain short conversations don’t make time pass.
- Ambiences that play in the mansion; by default, these occur once a day and won’t play the first time you enter the entryway each morning. Additional ambiences unlock as the game progresses, and some depend on your sophisticated taste options.
- Additional possibilities for the photo that is sometimes slipped under your door in the morning if the “Jealousy” sophisticated text is active, based on what training Theresa has had. The chances have now increased so it should happen every five days or so.
- New backgrounds for when the Birds relate their backstories.
- Improved art for Cathy, clarifying her hair and eyes and adding shadows.
- You can now travel directly to the cellar from the main Reform Institute menu once Theresa has informed you about the “birds” in Act III.
- Theresa now retains her makeup when she takes off the Vamp of Dracula costume, at least for a bit. At some point, I want to provide more makeup customization.
- Your BDSM supplies now arrive just before you use them, not after.
- A main volume slider in the preferences, plus clearer labels on the existing volume sliders.
The patron version also has the Reminisce feature, which lets you replay old erotic sequences that otherwise can’t be revisited and take new paths through them. $5 patrons can access a special cheat menu, guide development priorities with polls and suggestions, and submit additions to random snippets that show up during play. The current latest version will go public once the next patron-only build goes live. If you want to contribute to the game’s development, please become a supporter on Patreon!
