House of Hellish Harlots v0.046 (N3P-NTHes and Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia)

As it's the start of a new month, I've updated the public version of House of Hellish Harlots to a new version.

v0.046 has a carnivorous pitcher plant girl theme as both new harlots are variations on that type of monster girl.

N3P-NTHes
N3P-NTHes is another artificial being, this time modelled on pitcher plant lust daemons.  Unfortunately, she's one of The Doctoress's early creations and she neglected some aspects of her personality.  If you want to be brutally drained in a femdom way, N3P-NTHes is very good at that.

Perhaps a little too good...

Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia
Aphroú is a more conventional pitcher plant monster girl.  Her pitcher is filled with soapy water and feels like being in a relaxing hot tub full of bubblebath.

But be wary of getting too relaxed...

Similar to Sapoonis, I gave Aphroú a classical Greek appearance.  There's a decent chance the two might have a team-up scenario at some point, as Sapoonis joining the player in Aphroú's pitcher has a lot of potential for frothy fun.

You can have 'fun' with them here:

I hope you enjoy playing with the new girls.  Let me know your thoughts below.

While I have been posting recently about a graphics upgrade to HoHH, the main releases are still text-only at the moment.  You can check out how that is going under the 'Experimental' tag of the website (fairly good for desktop, still a little rough for mobile).  If you want to support the project more actively, you can do so on Patreon or SubscribeStar.

Supporters get access to newer builds.  They're up to v0.048 and were given Brittnee, a bratty 'teen' succubus, to play with in the latest release.

I'm still working on a version of HoHH with art and graphics.  I hope to show that off soon.

House of Hellish Harlots v0.044 (N'gleria Sepiida)

The public version of House of Hellish Harlots has been updated to v0.044.  You can play it here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

This adds one new harlot, an ailment and charm associated with the harlot, and a few housekeeping changes to move some harlots over to the correct faction.

The new harlot is a little... unusual.  She has a regular sex scene and a very weird scene inspired from some monster girl artwork I saw floating around the internet a few years ago.

N'gleria Sepiida
She looks like an exotic alien babe with tentacles for hair.

She absolutely does not eat brains.  The Madam would like you to know any talk of such is nothing more than scurrilous hearsay.  Ahem.

I like to keep readers on their toes.  I hope you have fun with her, weird as she is.

As always, the Patreon and SubscribeStar versions are a couple of releases ahead.  They received v0.047 yesterday.  This marks the long-awaited arrival of Eve Satana to the House.  If you recognise the name from my stories, yes it is her.  She brings the 'Biggest Tits in the World' to the House and a special stage show the player should be careful they don't get too absorbed in...

If you like how the project is going, please consider supporting me there.  Last month I was throwing out a few rough graphics demos, which I hope will bring some much needed art to the House.

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.

House of Hellish Harlots v0.043 (Cyane, Lagona Voluptes)

The public version of House of Hellish Harlots has been updated to v0.043.  You can play it here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

You may notice I've skipped v0.042.  This is because Cyane was originally v0.042 and Lagona Voluptes v0.043.  I was feeling ahead of schedule so I combined them into one release.

I think this is also the first release after I restructured the project and broke it down into separate modules.  As far as I know it should still work the same as before, but let me know if you run into anything screwy.

As for the new harlots, this release has a slightly more vorish theme as both will happily eat the player up if they're not careful.

Cyane
Cyane is my take on a jellyfish monster girl.  She was originally an idea for a level-drain monster for a HRPG, where she'd trap a player in her bell and slowly suck out their "levels".  I thought she'd fit in HoHH as well, so I gave her a scenario.  She's very ladylike for a jellyfish.  She respects the Madam's rules and doesn't eat gentlemen.

Make sure you're a gentleman!

Lagona Voluptes
Lagona Voluptes is a fleshpot pitcher plant girl.  Similar to the usual carnivorous plant monster girl, but her pitcher is a little comfier to be inside.  I try to vary the characters of the girls, so Lagona is a bit eccentric compared to the usual cold seductive predator succubi.  Despite this, she's a very dangerous harlot that won't show up until the later rounds in the finished game.  It should be pretty easy to figure out what you need to survive her though.

I hope you enjoy the release.  Let me know your thoughts below.

The Patreon and SubscribeStar versions are a couple of versions ahead.  I gave them v0.047 yesterday, which has two more pitcher plant girl themed harlots, N3P-NTHes and Aphroú Kanáta ton Ouránia.  If you like the project, please consider supporting me there.  You'll get access to the latest releases as well as other things.

New(ish) Short Story: "A Bubble, Popped"

This is continuing my ongoing project to update the old H-space Bestiary shorts into proper short stories.  This time I took the "Bubble-Tail Succubus" story and filled in how Bate ended up in the bedroom of the succubus.

The new and improved story can be found on Patreon and SubscribeStar.

These are temporary exclusives.  My plan is to start putting out ebook collections once I've updated enough of the old stories.  If you wish to support me in the meantime, you can get them early on Patreon and SubscribeStar (as well as access to the latest House of Hellish Harlots updates a couple of months before the public release).

As with a lot of the H-space stories, this is firmly weird pulp sex horror.  The ending is a little nasty (as is the case with a lot of the H-space stories).

Harlot Art - Sapoonismenee Nerei

Here is some more lovely harlot art, again from the Atlantis27/Thraeh combo.  This time a player taking a hot bath with the lovely water nymph Sapoonismenee Nerei.  I'm guessing this player had DEX 5 and got plenty of Sapoonis's special foam in the body-to-body massage that followed. ;)




It's nice to see more details of the opulent luxury of some of the harlot's rooms.

I do have plans for a tentative team-up where Sapoonis and Aphroú double-team the player.  Then I remember that won't mean anything to anyone as Aphroú hasn't actually been released yet.  (You should get a chance to play with her in the v0.47 release scheduled for the end of the month.)

Thank you to Thraeh for illustrating Sapoonis and to Atlantis27 for commissioning the piece and kindly allowing me to share it here.

You can find more of Thraeh's work here on deviantart:

House of Hellish Harlots v0.041 (Lady Flumpth, Restructuring)

I've updated the public version of House of Hellish Harlots to v0.041.  You can play it here:
https://houseofhellishharlots.com/

On the surface it's another small release, adding just one new harlot.

Lady Flumpth
The rather disreputable (and mouldy) Lady Flumpth doesn't put much stock in The Madam's 'rules' or 'fair play'.  Thankfully, while the stat requirements are reasonably high to escape her 'trap' for an intended early tier harlot, there are enough ways to dodge coming to a sticky end (a bit literally with her), so it should be fairly easy.

The reason for the one-harlot releases for a couple of months is because I had to restructure the project under the hood.  It had grown too large for the Twine editor to handle it without heavy lag, so I split it into 7 sub-projects and are now using Tweego to reassemble it into a single file.  It seems to be working and patrons haven't noticed anything breaking.  If something has been missed, let me know below.

The Patreon and SubscribeStar releases are still a few versions ahead.  I gave them v0.044 yesterday.  This is also a single harlot release - the very weird N'gleria Sepiida.

I'm currently engaged in a couple of months of solid short story writing to put a 7th collection together.  I do have multiple HoHH releases queued up over this period, but they will be small releases until I get the 7th collection out of the way.  After that I'm hoping to push on and add the more complex 'mini-boss' harlots.
