As a magical rainbow cat familiar, accompany a college girl as she discovers that she has latent magical powers, her city is being heavily corrupted by a demonic aura, and she must juggle weirdly erotic college life in the morning with patrolling the city and fighting demons in the afternoon and night. Spend 'influence points' to help prevent her from making bad decisions, and play a simple-to-understand, difficult-to-master card game to help her succeed at tests of skill.
This is an early proof-of-concept / pre-alpha of a unique way of letting you, the player, be invested and involved in preventing the corruption and downfall of a magical girl who is prone to making some bad decisions.

Content warnings
This game contains, amongst other exciting things: transformation, corruption, monsters, pregnancy, bad ends and non-con, which due to strict rules at The Other Place, means that this project will only be funded via SubscribeStar.
What makes this game unique?
The unique 'influence' mechanic allows us to maintain suspension of disbelief when the protagonist does something silly that gets her in trouble, in a way that doesn't feel quite right in traditional games where you, as the player, are forced to make those obviously-bad-idea decisions by yourself.
The quick card mini-game is straightforward enough to avoid confusion and frustration, whilst having enough emergent complexity to actually force you to think, and be extra-careful when the stakes are high. It also forces you to feel more directly invested in the protagonist and whether she succeeds.
The main goals of this project are:
We are experimenting with a combination of Unity & a narrative scripting language called Ink, trying to find a setup we like for making text-heavy games even more than we like Inform 7.
High replayability - randomly selected events and randomly assigned bosses and story arcs will (eventually) make every game different.
Having fun with all the classic magical girl hentai tropes - a secret identity, larger-than-life villains, tentacle monsters & demons, clothing destruction, body transformation, gradual corruption, mind control, time stop magic, sex in the middle of combat, recovering some strength after orgasming from sex in combat, and much more.
A gradual corruption of the world around the protagonist, where you can feel everything becoming more sexual and inappropriate as the game progresses. Eventually linked to player performance, in order to create a tougher challenge for magical girls who are performing particularly well (i.e. the better you are doing, the more difficult it becomes to live in this weird corrupted city, and vice-versa)
Playing around with classic office / academic setting bullying tropes - from pantsings, to swirlies, to being tied up, stuffed full of vibrators, and left in a storage closet.
Making sudden 'Bad Ends' fun - You are NOT expected to seek the bad ends out, but instead encounter them organically, then start again with a new protagonist. In the recommended way to play the game, you will be warned when a Bad End is possible, but there will not be any guaranteed way to avoid them. To make this fun, we will be aiming to keep the expected longevity of your heroine high enough that you get emotionally invested, but low enough that you don't punch your monitor in frustration after she suddenly hits a Bad End. In the future, there will be options to choose how much warning you get, and how difficult it is to avoid sudden Bad Ends.
Making your New Game feel like a continuation of the same timeline - some in-game universe changes persist in between runs, defeated bosses stay defeated, and the new heroine is an 'awakened' background character who existed before. And also, you can sometimes bump into your previous defeated heroines.
To be clear, none of these goals have been met yet! This is a proof of concept!!!
Here are some things that we are considering, but holding back on for now because it'll make the code so much more complex:
The secret identity of the magical girl is a man.
Multiple options for which college classes the protagonist is enrolled in.
Randomly generated personalities for each NPC, which determines their behaviour.
Current content (SPOILERS!)
For completionists, we've included a relatively comprehensive list of what you can currently encounter in the game.
Because this is a messy proof-of-concept, certain event chains that seem like they're going somewhere hit a sudden dead-end. If it seems like you can't progress with something, you can also use this list to see if that's because you literally can't progress with it yet because the events haven't been written yet.
