Winner: Binding a submissive's wrists with rope

Since the next update will introduce the game’s first tie, I’d like to take a moment to explore the short and long term plans for the bondage system.

The wrist tie will be the first one. You’ll start the game with it and won't have to buy rope or anything like that. You’ll be able to learn more advanced ties from the priests of the Church of Divine Hierarchy, though these will cost Church Favor. Favor will be a new social resource earned through actions that align with the goals and principles of the Church, such as purging bandit camps or promoting obedience among citizens.

When you tie up a submissive their animations will change, some acts just won’t be physically possible anymore, and certain sex scenes will get different variations depending on the type of bondage. For example, teasing a tied submissive doesn’t require any discipline from them, while doing the same with an untied one can serve as a challenge and a lesson in discipline.

After you're done playing with your submissive, you'll have the option of leaving them tied for how many days you want. However, this comes with risks, depending on the bondage type and their discipline level, there’s a chance they may hurt themselves. You’ll be able to reduce the risk of accidents by assigning other submissives as caretakers. Leaving them tied will also affect your relationship with them. Submissives with low devotion may resent being kept in bondage, while those with the "Rope Bunny" trait will love it.

It will take a few updates to implement all these features but I’m sure we’ll get there eventually.

Thank you for being a part of this project and I hope you're excited about the update!
