Ruin Me is a Phanes Dionysos Ren'Py visual novel set in Barrowport, a town of dark mysteries. You stepped into a new position as a professor of antiquities expecting strange artifacts and old monster lore. You did not expect young Theresa Radcliffe to know your forbidden secret, or to beg you to lead her down a path of depravity.
The 2DCG cast carries the cast across a deep fetish tag stack that the dev openly leans into. Content threads lesbian routes, futa/trans, futa/trans protagonist options, gay routes, monster girl encounters, corruption descent, BDSM, drug-laced scenes, transformation, lactation, tentacles, trap content, group sex, multiple-penetration, pregnancy, and a wide fetish spread the player can toggle into.
The writing keeps the horror frame at the edge of every scene, and the slow descent earns the weight the title is openly asking for.

Changelog
v0.65.0
Changes:
Added a new "Ricercar pro Anima" night music option accessible from the music room in the mansion, inspired by a patron request. It causes a dream of otherworldly beings and medical play, with options involving specula, extreme urethral play, anal play, and tickling.
With Permissivity 4, Terry can join in. You may only sound them if they have completed sounding training. If the experimental subject has a vagina, an extra branch with speculum play will be available. If the examiner has a penis, an extra option will be available in the "Extreme urethral penetration" branch.
This scene adds new art options for Terry's lying-back pose: medical stirrups, a speculum, and additional urethral sounds.
- Terry's lying-back pose also now has additional moods, some of which will show up in previously-released
scenes.
Added the ability to invite Terry to the bathroom at The Morrow's Berth to participate in glory hole play. This includes new art for Terry serving at the glory hole.
Terry can watch you at the glory hole, can serve strangers alone, or can serve them with your help.
To align with the play scenes at the mansion, inviting Terry to play will cause time to advance when you're done. More options at the bar bathroom are planned, including more opportunities for cunnilingus.
Added a new option for sophisticated tastes, available from the "Examine your locked suitcase" option in your bedroom after Day 3. This is opt-in writing that is added to existing scenes. The new option, "Olfactory Oddities of the Depraved", adds additional descriptions of smells to many scenes.
- The odors described are generally biological and unpleasant, but do not involve other interactions with unpleasant substances. Activate The Paradoxical Appeal of Filth if you want that.
This is 100% optional and opt-in; you won't see any added material until you choose to.
As always, you can set "Sophisticated Content" to "Highlight" in the preferences to see when text has been added or modified.
Reworked how submission to Leo affects the items you can purchase from him at the causeway outside of town. You are no longer required to submit to Leo periodically to avoid higher prices. Instead, adding a product to his menu needs a token that he provides for good behavior. The concept of Leo overcharging you has been completely removed.
-
You may earn one token by retrieving items of contraband that Leo has stashed around Barrowport (one token per item). Leo will provide clues as to where these items can be found. For now, they require participating in other characters' activities. There are enough items of contraband to unlock all potential menu items.
- You may also earn one token by (optionally!) performing a new act of submission to Leo and raising your Intimacy with him. If you have already submitted to him on a save file, you will be given a number of tokens equal to your Intimacy.
-
All products will start unavailable. You will need to spend tokens to unlock them, even if you have purchased that item before. Once a product is unlocked with a token, you may buy it with no additional mechanical cost.
• Leo will now tell you more about his mother if you've been sufficiently intimate with him.
• Leo's Behavior and Play menus will now remain disabled until you've said "please" to him.
For the first stage of Theresa's training in manual sex, where she masturbates, she will use her lying-back pose.
This means that there is no longer the option for her to keep her clothes (mostly) on. This was already the case for Terrence.
Miscellaneous enhancements and improvements.
bedroom after Day 3. This is opt in writing that is
v0.64.1
Added a new activity, Lectures, available at Pappy's Medicine.
This is an alternate way of earning extra Ken, and involves teaching a sex education class to adult students.
Terry (Theresa/Terrence) can act as your teaching assistant if their stats are all at 2 or higher.
For the moment, only one lesson topic is available. Two more are planned, providing additional Ken and unlocking in later acts.
Depending on your choices, the Rowdiness of the class will increase, unlocking more adventurous questions at the end of the class.
Added a new optional, repeatable impact play scene with Leo, escalating your relationship to Intimacy 5.
This will be offered automatically if you are getting a special discount from Leo.
You will be able to play this and future Leo play scenes in any order as long as your Intimacy is 4 or higher.
Added art for the glory hole scenes in the bathroom of The Morrow's Berth bar.
Updated the background art for Terry's chambers, improving their look at alternate times of day.
v0.63.1
A new intense pleasure/torture play scene available from the "Advanced Play" menu. This requires Permissivity 4.
You must balance torturing Terry (via spanking, pinching, etc.) and pleasuring them (via kisses, stimulation, etc.) without making them climax too early or use their safe word.
Sounding is available as a torture, if you have performed the appropriate training.
A new optional, repeatable cock worship play scene with Leo, escalating your relationship to Intimacy 4.
This will be offered automatically if you are getting a special discount from Leo.
The conclusion to the Citadel exploration, revealing the nature of this optional dream location. You will need to take several more doses of Archanum to complete the story. The ending will be clear.
A new elf outfit for Terry, in recognition of Christmas. It's available from the Tailor, found by exploring out of town. Within two weeks of Christmas (Dec 25), it's available for free; for the rest of the year, it costs Ken like other outfits.
Added art for the mask from "The Sacrificed God," visible during the expedition and in your curios in your bedroom. Which mask appearance you picked was not recorded in previous versions, but if you play the expedition on this version or later, the mask's appearance will reflect your choice.
Fixed a bug where you were not charged favors when buying from Leo, meaning he would never escalate your relationship (if you were getting a discount with your body).
Fixed Theresa appearing to be stroking a ghost cock during anal masturbation.
Miscellaneous fixes and enhancements.
v0.62.1
Added a new secondary character, Leo Keen Eagle, who can be found at the causeway in the town outskirts. He is a dominant, pansexual cis man who will sell you drugs and potentially play with you.
All interactions with Leo are optional. All drugs can be acquired without being intimate with him.
You may submit to Leo in an escalating series of play scenes in exchange for cheaper prices. This is purely a roleplaying option; acquiring his wares does not cost Ken or any other game resource.
If you refuse to submit to Leo, he will not pressure you; you may resume submitting by asking about reducing prices in his Business menu.
In this release, Leo has two repeatable play scenes. More will be added in a future update.
Leo offers the following new, fictional drugs:
Sedatives, which allow you to sleep without having a nightmare if you take them alone in your bedroom.
Teaching tea, which allows you to immediately trigger the next nightmare without waiting for the end of the day if you drink it alone in your bedroom. This makes time pass.
Archanum, which gives you a vision of a strange place. This makes time pass.
More will be added in a future update.
Added the Citadel, accessed by taking a dose of Archanum from Leo. This is an optional dream location to explore. Accessing new areas requires you to sleep within the dream and return later. This location will be expanded in a future update.
Improved the breakfast choice menu in the servants' office.
Added functionality for a free web demo when Ruin Me becomes a paid release.
Fixed an issue where asking Terry to wear a random outfit each day would never pick the most revealing version of the starting dress/cardigan (and would cause an error if the only available options were the most conservative dress and/or cardigan).
Miscellaneous enhancements and fixes.

v0.61.1
Added a urethral sounding training scene, part of the "Advanced Depravity" training sequence taking Terry from Depravity 3 to 4.
This training requires you to recover your sounds via the Salvage activity at the docks.
This scene includes some minor new bits of art.
Like other advanced training, this scene is optional.
Added new branches to the Zaftig March night music scene, allowing you to penetrate Terry's hypertrophic cock.
Added a new greeting option for Terry, where they give you a kiss when you visit their chambers.
When visiting character locations, they will sometimes be in the middle of an activity:
Esther, Meg, and Pappy may be visited by another character.
By default, only one of these events can occur per time period. This is affected by the "Random Events" option under Game Preferences.
Enhanced checking on Terry at night-time:
If Terry is in, your options for interaction have been pretty much standardized, and you may now invite Terry back to your room. If you've activated the Jealousy book in your bedroom, Terry may refuse to give up a night out to spend it with you.
If Terry is getting ready to head out (due to a routine that calls for seeking out sex), you may join them, triggering the public sex play scene.
If Terry's room is dark, you can now knock and get several options if they respond.
If Terry is in their chambers with a partner (via their evening routine), you may knock to give them a goodnight kiss or join in.
When you visit a sleeping Terry (with permission), you may try to kiss them.
Terry will now sometimes visit your room at night to sleep over if their stats are sufficiently high and their routine allows.
A new evening routine will make Terry stop by your room every night.
When Terry sleeps over, you have a choice of bedtime activities, including very brief sex scenes. Their training determines what activities are available.
Added a new-style conversation menu for Meg and Pappy.
Renamed the "Ambient Narration" option to "Random Events" in Game Preferences.
Removed the option to study Dr. Harvey's lab to gain Ken; this is replaced by Geography, Exploration, and Salvage.
Many small fixes and enhancements.
