Steam has a demo version of Nix University available!
It would be awesome if you played it and left a review about how cool we are.
There will also be an update with new content soon, but the demo already has things that weren't in the old versions, namely:
we've finally, it seems, fixed all the bugs in the combat system;
we continued replacing the neuro-generated backgrounds. They're not in the demo, we'll finish off the remaining ones (not included in the demo) by the release of the final version;
character sprites have been changed (because the artist has nothing better to do);
all combat effects have been completely redone, so the whole combat system looks way cooler now;
mini-games with the teachers have been added.
We didn't manage to add voice acting in time, but we might update both the demo and the other versions with it in September.
So, the demo is available via the LINK. We'd really appreciate a review.
And we'd also appreciate it if you rated the demo on itch.io.
Thanks for your attention. An updated full version of the game is coming soon, followed by new content.

Hi everyone!
Yes, as always we're not hitting any deadlines, but… updates are coming very soon.
A demo version is already in Steam's review queue right now. It has a lot of changes: updated effects, some sprites reworked, backgrounds replaced with hand-drawn ones, various mini-games added, plus a bunch of smaller changes (including combat bug fixes).
Version 0.8 is coming soon, which will be technical and visual changes only.
After that there'll be a version with some smaller updates, and then finally version 1.0, which we'll release on Steam.
We've also put together something like quasi-voice-acting for all the heroines. So there won't be full voice acting, but sighs, laughs, and things like that — yes. And no, it's not AI. Everything was recorded by real people. The voices are already recorded but not yet processed.
Thanks for following along. Our apologies for the wait, and so on.
Become a superhero whose power is rope manipulation. Stylish 2D art, turn-based combat, hot 18+ scenes, charismatic superheroines and villainesses you can defeat, bind, seduce — and sometimes save. Superheroes, shibari, BDSM — that's what The Rope Knight is about.
FEATURES:
Deep, vivid heroines and villainesses The Heliarch heroines and villainesses are more than just archetypes. Each of them has her own story — tragic, strange, dark, funny or unexpectedly personal. Some struggle with losing their sanity, some live under the weight of guilt, some were broken by the system, and some simply enjoy their power. As the story unfolds, you get to know them better — and can influence their fate. Some villainesses can turn over a new leaf, become allies, or something more.
Hot 18+ scenes The foundation is ropes — bondage, domination, shibari and BDSM. But the intimate scenes go far beyond rope play: the range is wide. All scenes are hand-drawn, hand-animated and voiced by professional actresses.
Combat system — deep, but optional Here for the story and hot scenes? The game includes an easy mode so you can skip the combat gameplay entirely. For those who want more — a deep, well-crafted combat system awaits. Build your loadout: stats depend on equipment, different rope types provide unique actions and modifiers, and tactical decisions in battle actually matter.
Varied gameplay Chat with your team, complete missions on the map, send heroines on assignments — and don't forget your part-time job at the bar, where you'll mix cocktails and earn rewards (not always monetary).
A rich story where your choices matter Your decisions affect not just the ending, but the lives of specific characters: some will reform and join Heliarch, some will die, some will become your partner, and some will become an unexpected ally.
Quality visuals and sound Everything is hand-drawn in a unified stylish 2D art style. The game features a driving original soundtrack, and all characters are fully voiced by professional actors — including the hot scenes.

News!
Right now we’re busy slightly reworking the beginning of the game, because we want to fix the bugs from the Steam demo, replace most of the AI-made backgrounds, and add various things like effects.
Although we’ll be launching the Steam demo very soon. We’re putting a lot of focus into that because, well, let’s be honest — we need money :D
After that, you’ll see an update that will include:
2. We’re currently reworking a lot of things in the game, including older episodes/scenes. But the update is coming soon.
The main changes:
we’re completely reworking the visuals of the mini-games and adding new ones;
we’re continuing to replace AI-generated backgrounds with new ones made by an artist;
and many other changes.
3. We’re definitely not going to abandon the project, but after the release of Part 1, we want to switch to something simpler for a while, since we’re a bit tired of this particular project.
4. The release version will include 18+ scenes with all the characters: the goblin girl, Mora, and Shu. We’re already working on that.
Thank you for your attention. I hope you’re not disappointed by the news. :)
