The new version of Ruin Me is out, adding a new secondary character to dominate you and a handful of strange fantasy drugs. It’s also Halloween season, so for the next two weeks, you can get four costumes for free from the Tailor!
You can always get the current free version on itch.io, and it’s now playable on the web! 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 0.62.0.p makes the following changes:
- Added a new secondary character, Leo Keen Eagle, who can be found at the causeway in the town outskirts. He is a dominant, pansexual cis man who will sell you drugs and potentially play with you.
- All interactions with Leo are optional. All drugs can be acquired without being intimate with him.
- You may submit to Leo in an escalating series of play scenes in exchange for cheaper prices. This is purely a roleplaying option; acquiring his wares does not cost Ken or any other game resource.
- If you refuse to submit to Leo, he will not pressure you; you may resume submitting by asking about reducing prices in his Business menu.
- In this release, Leo has two repeatable play scenes. More will be added in a future update.
- Leo offers the following new, fictional drugs:
- Sedatives, which allow you to sleep without having a nightmare if you take them alone in your bedroom.
- Teaching tea, which allows you to immediately trigger the next nightmare without waiting for the end of the day if you drink it alone in your bedroom. This makes time pass.
- Archanum, which gives you a vision of a strange place. This makes time pass.
- More will be added in a future update.
- Added the Citadel, accessed by taking a dose of Archanum from Leo. This is an optional dream location to explore. Accessing new areas requires you to sleep within the dream and return later. This location will be expanded in a future update.
- Improved the breakfast choice menu in the servants’ office.
- Added functionality for a free web demo when Ruin Me becomes a paid release.
- Miscellaneous enhancements and fixes.
The new free version, 0.61.1, has the following bugfix:
- Fixed an issue where asking Terry to wear a random outfit each day would never pick the most revealing version of the starting dress/cardigan (and would cause an error if the only available options were the most conservative dress and/or cardigan).
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!
