Story Synopsis

In Taru's Infernal Pledge, you step into the shoes of Taru 'Bolt' Nopsa, a dashing young woman and an exceptionally skilled thief and assassin. Immerse yourself in a new original fantasy universe and the sprawling metropolitan city of Valkama, the capital city of Jaerwik in the northern edges of the known world.

As Taru, you have been working with a gang of criminals, your only family in truth, for a few years now. Your latest mission turns out to be a trap, and you're taken captive by cultists of an ancient evil known as The Fathomless Hunger. Your soul will be sacrificed to appease this mysterious deity, unless you can escape your shackles.

Piru, the 5th archdemon of hell, has been trying to tempt you into a pact with him for a long time. Just like he did with your mother, who died years ago under strange circumstances. Now, in order to escape the cultists, you find yourself finally pledging your body to the demon. Piru's demands, however, make your head spin...

Please the demon's sexual appetites as his concubine and serve him as his mortal assassin. Explore the Abyss with Tryton, the anointed of Astorolus, and become familiar with his intimate world of consensual BDSM. Embrace the blinding and sadistic light of the God of Mercy with Opettaille, and the pleasure that can be found in pain. Find your old gang, answers, and revenge. The road to saving your soul and reclaiming ownership of your body is long and hard.

What to expect from the game

Taru's Infernal Pledge focuses on consensual BDSM, and some darker subjects, throughout the game, while delivering an interesting main story. Follow the events of the current timeline where Taru gets into trouble everywhere she goes. Her objectives: Find out who betrayed her and get her revenge, free her soul from the dark force that has claimed it, and free her body from her pledge to the demon, while honoring the terms of her deal. In parallel, follow the flashback events before her current predicament, where she and her gang take on the biggest heist of their careers, and witness the aftermath that saw her world turn upside down. In both the current timeline and the flashbacks, your choices matter and shape the story that unfolds.

 

Praise for Taru's Infernal Pledge:

"Interesting plot. The characters are well written!"

"Incredibly hot and well written. The shibari scene alone has one of the most well written, vivid depictions of subspace that I've read in a while."

"I like this, especially the slightly zany and mischievous heroine!"

"Great job with the writing!"

"Keep up the great work, this is one of the games I'm looking forward to the most!"

"The writing is sharp, and the characters, particularly Taru and Piru, are incredibly well-developed. I'm honestly hooked on their dynamic alone."

"If you're into deep narrative with branching paths and rich character drama, this one's definitely for you."

"Very well written, with solid prose, good character writing... The smut is terrific: it's not just solidly written, it's also very grounded and respectful."

Detailed changelog:

• Bugfix: Changed a bug where in Chapter 7 passages the wrong variable (ch2_jeff_erika_hookup instead of ch6_jeff_and_erika_threesome) was used to check if Taru knows about Jeff's location.
• Changed version numbering system from 0.1.0, 0.2.0, etc. to 0.01.0, 0.02.0, 0.03.0, to accommodate more numbers. Thus "v0.8.0" is actually "v0.08.0" and the next release will be v0.09.0
• Wrote and added entire Chapter 8 (~135 passages, ~31 000 words)
• Added 2 new AI generated images, to Chapter 8
• The new chapter contains 3 new NSFW scenes (4 if you count a dark non-consensual scene). As always, all of them can be missed in your playthrough, depending on your choices.
