A Succubus Game in Dev that might be worth following - Situation Succ: Inn Elysium


This one fell onto my radar in a (sort of) complicated and unexpected manner.  It also got me to dip my toes into Discord, which I should have done a long time ago.

The game's name is "Situation Succ: Inn Elysium" and you can find the website here:
https://situationsucc.com/

The character art and animation already looks very promising.


You can check out any time you like...


(I wanted to embed the video here, but all the usual twitter video downloaders had an attack of the prudities.  You can find the full animation here.)

The plot has an investigator arrive at a mysterious hotel as part of a missing persons case, only to find themselves on the dinner plate of four seductive and very hungry succubi.  The player will have to solve various puzzles to try and escape before midnight (or just give in and let the succubi have fun with the MC, I know what you filthy animals are like!).

The game is leaning on the horror side, so the succubi are as deadly as they are seductive.  The horror is more on the fun 'drain you to a dry-fish' side rather than the more boring 'rip out human hearts and eat them' side.

There is a time loop, so it's fine.  The MC can get snu-snued over and over and watch on in terror as the life is slowly sucked from his body.  He'll be fine.



Wait.  A time loop.  A clock and a time limit.  Where have I seen that bef--

Coincidence.  Pure coincidence.

If you played and enjoyed Tokinokogiri's "Succubus Prison", this is a project you'll want to keep an eye on.  I was also impressed with the art and animation I saw.  It reminded me of SQDT's "Succubus Academia", which had top-notch succubus and monster girl H-scenes.

Despite the look, this is a Western Dev team who want to bring the Japanese Succ over here.  This means you won't have to worry about fumbling around with machine translation or pixelated bits.

I know this might be a concern for some.  Sadly, Succubus and Monster Girl lovers haven't had much luck when it comes to Western H-game projects.  I have more hope on this one.  For one, it has a full team behind it and a war chest of funding to kick things off.  I was also given a little sneak peek of some behind-scenes stuff and was very impressed with what I was shown.  From a writing perspective, the succubus characters seem distinct and well-defined.  They also have differing goals and desires which will likely drive the overall plot.  What I saw gave me the impression of an idea that has 'come together', and that is a great starting point to launch from.


Do not disturb the sleeping succ...

That said, the usual caveats apply.  GameDev is hard.  Even with the best intentions and good resources, unforeseen things can happen and cause a project to come a cropper.  Manage hype and expectations accordingly.


This is very early in, but from what I saw, it sounds like a lot of the foundations and planning has already been done.  As for timescale for release, I don't think that was mentioned, but I saw an estimate of around a year, which seems sensible.  If you want to support the project and keep a closer eye on development, they have a page on SubscribeStar here.  You can also follow them on twitter @SituationSucc

I'm really hopeful on this one.  I look forward to giving it a proper playthrough and review when it comes out.

  1. Looks very promising. I love that the artwork looks the same as Succubus Prison. Also a Private Investigator getting trapped by succubi is something I would like to see done with the village of horny werewolf women, or the HoHH.

    A Private Investigator dressed like a Noir detective being forced to do the Madam's challenge sounds great.

    1. I haven't done a Gumshoe vs Succubus story...

      Could work very well.

  2. The art is so similar to Succubus Prison that Im actually surprised it doesn't take place in the same universe.

    1. Different dev team. I think they've taken some inspiration from Succubus Prison and similar games, but it's a completely different universe and setting, with different succubus characters.

      They also really like Shiki's art, which is a good style to start with if you want to show a sexy succubus getting her drain on!

  3. Hey Hydra, don't complain about the hentai succubi/monster girl games being gory and violent when you have some of your own succubi and monster girls brutally killing humans. (Nyte ripping apart the teen warlock, the various Horror ends in HoHH, what happened at the end of A Bubble, Popped, and whatever the hill Cerluea did to the fact warlock)

    1. Fair point. I've not been shy about letting the blood and guts fly. :D

      What I meant was the more mainstream depictions of succubi in games/horror. Those aren't allowed to show sex, so the succubus is only allowed "rip'n'tear" mode (or blast with fireballs), which seems a waste of her talents!

      Probably best not think too hard on what Cerulea did. Very messy...

  4. I just realized the blonde succubus tits is so damn big that her head can't even touch the fucking pillow. Her tits might as well be the pillow lol

    1. They look like a nice pillow to rest a head on, or between. ;)

  5. With the whole pizza guy offering Verde, Rosa, Nyte, Nurse Honey, and Cerluea is like a sheep asking three wolves: "What are we having for dinner?" and of course, it never ends well for the sheep.

    Cerluea gave the fat warlock a messy death? Worse than Nyte ripping a kid warlock to pieces? Ugh your such a (cock) tease Hydra, i want to learn more about her and you're killing me with how long SS 301 is taking :P

    1. She was with an embodiment of Gluttony at the time. Not a fun end for that warlock...

      I understand people's frustration on SS301. I've improved my productivity and organisation massively since running the patreon, but the 1st drafts of stories and chapters is still the one area I'm a little slow and need to improve on.

  6. Hydra I'm curious to know. Is it true that a man can feel more pleasure and can get a bigger climax from being deprived of oxygen? Or is it only if you are masochist? I've seen a few times that a succubus character would nearly choke a man to release more semen.

    1. I don't know. I've played around with the smothering fetish for some of the succubi in HoHH. While there are plenty of things I've tried out (I'm a very naughty boy), the asphyxiation kink is just too dangerous to play with IRL, so I'm working on guesswork. I write about it, because it looks sexy to see a succubus/domme do it, and that's pretty much as far as my knowledge goes.

      A definite "Don't Try This At Home" on this one.

      Or get a very experienced and trustworthy dominatrix partner to play with.
