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."

Dramatis personae

• Taru 'Bolt' Nopsa (this is you!) - The main heroine of our story, the 21 year old Taru Nopsa. A criminal, thief and sometimes assassin, who's gotten into a ton of trouble over the years. But nothing compares to the mess she finds herself in at the beginning of our story. Slim in build, pale skin like a typical native of Valkama, with deep green eyes and a long black hair. Taru has never known her father, and so when her mother, Tyrni Nopsa, died, she was taken in by a local gang of ruffians and she's been with them ever since. She goes by the nickname 'Bolt' due to her fast reflexes and quick thinking.
• Arne 'Eagle' Hanki - The charismatic leader of the gang, Arne is a man who's seen a lot. His daughter Astrid Hanki is also in the gang. Astrid's mother died tragically in child-birth.
• Ylva 'Fox' Jekku - The second-in-command and mission handler of the gang. Ylva is a tough lady who's a stickler for details.
• Astrid 'Snowflake' Hanki - The daughter of Arne Hanki, around the same age as Taru. Her father tries to keep her out of trouble as much as possible, never really giving her a chance to show what she's capable of.
• Ebbe 'Boar' Romu - Truly more boar than man, this hulking mass of flesh couldn't sneak his way out of trouble if his life depended on it. No, his skills lie elsewhere: Bashing skulls in.
• Einar 'Shadow' Alavire - Perhaps the best at staying unseen and unheard, Einar is a young man the same age as Taru, who joined the gang around the same time as she did. His sister is Erika Alavire.
• Erika 'Flare' Alavire - The stunningly beautiful and ample-breasted sister of Einar Alavire, just a year younger than Einar. Where she lacks skills of stealth and strength, she makes up for with raw charm and looks.
• Kerr 'Lurker' Apea - Describing Kerr as a man who sees the glass as half-empty would be an understatement. Nevertheless, his prowess with the blade is unmatched by anyone in the gang. Combine that with a touch for stealth that rivals Einar's and you've got yourself a deadly assassin. Kerr is typically the one who takes care of the dirty work of the gang.
• Tryton - An ex-priest of The God of Mercy. Now an anointed worshipper of The Fathomless Hunger. He shuns the cult of fanatics sacrificing souls in fear of The Fathomless Hunger. He, instead, seeks to find enlightenment in his lord's wisdom. A prestigious royal advisor. A skilled shibari rope master.
• Opettaille - A lewd priest of The God of Mercy, holding the rank of Inquisitor Exarch at the Valkama grand temple.
• Piru - The Splendor Demon Majesty, the fifth archdemon of hell, Piru is a tall and kinky devil with blazing red skin and fiery yellow eyes. Tyrni, Taru's mother, pledged herself to him many, many years ago.
• And many more...

Cool! I played through parts of your game Legacy of Subjugation. It was cool! :)

Hey all!

 

Taru's Infernal Pledge v1.1.2 is now available on itch and Steam, marking the official final and fully completed release of the game. Bugfixes will be patched if there are any, but otherwise the project is now considered finished!

 

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3916080/Tarus_Infernal_Pledge/

 

Itch: https://flimsylegs.itch.io/tarus-infernal-pledge

 

This release marks the end of almost 2 years of development, and collaboration with 9 artists and a composer. Original digital hand-drawn art was created for all lewd scenes, with static background images for most of normal non-lewd scenes. The main theme is an original track composed specifically for the game called 'The Dark Pledge' by Abstraction.

 

My games have thus far focused on female protagonists and BDSM, and Taru's Infernal Pledge is no exception. If you're a fan of BDSM, you will love this game. But even if you simply tolerate BDSM, this game has a lot going on: A branching narrative with 20 endings and 320 000 words of story. Become a demon's plaything and sextoy, pledging your body to him. Seek a cure for the train in your soul from the sadistic Goddess of Mercy and her kinky priest. Discover the intriguing world of consensual shibari bondage with Tryton, a worshiper of the very abyss that now taints you soul. In the flashbacks, discover the events that led to your betrayal and be part of the biggest heist your gang has ever planned. Taru's Infernal Pledge is set in a dark but realistic fantasy universe with a rich history and cosmic powers locked millennia of battles for power. Rooftop battles, cozy moments in saunas, breaking in, assassinations, extremely detailed kinky lewd scenes, and well-written characters await you in. Be careful though... Your decisions may put you in an early grave, or deepen your infernal pledge to your demonic master...

 

Cheers,
