Overview
The Survival of Sarah Rose is an erotic fantasy visual novel for players who want a dark, choice-driven story with real consequences. The tone is grim and unflinching, built around one woman's fight to endure.
Story
Sarah Rose, eldest daughter of the royal Rose family, loses her safe and stable life when tragedy strikes her house. Cast into a world where danger comes from every direction, she must find a way to survive whatever follows. The path she takes, and what she becomes along the way, depends entirely on the choices made for her.
Gameplay
Playing as Sarah, you steer her through branching decisions that shape her fate, from moments of resistance to submission and everything between. The choice system leads to genuinely different storylines rather than cosmetic variation, and a meta-story layer rewards players who go back and explore paths they didn't take the first time. Outcomes range from Sarah holding onto herself to her being broken down entirely, with multiple endings reflecting how far she falls or how well she survives.
Features
- Branching choice system with storylines that diverge significantly based on player decisions
- Meta-story layer that rewards replaying and exploring alternate paths
- 2D character art depicting a wide cast including monster girls and fantasy races
- Multiple distinct endings tied to Sarah's arc of corruption or survival
Installation
1. Extract and run.
Changelog
v0.70
- Those of you who've followed the game for a while might be surprised at the version number, but don't worry, this is the latest and newest version of TSSR. I've simply decided to flatten/simplify the sequential version numbers.
- Instead, the version # now reflects my (best attempt) at showing the total game's progress towards a full release, which right now, I feel is about 70% of the way there (lot of work left to go, though).
- Content for v0.70
- Version v0.70 includes a total of 62 new art pieces. These pieces are aimed at bringing the Tribes-storyline up to the quality of the rest of the game. It doesn't complete the make-over, but does get the storyline a long way there.
- The rest of the Tribes-storyline will receive another update later this year, where the whole storyline is finished, as well as the remainder of the art is updated to complete the entire arc, closing out what I've called one of the medium-sized-storylines.
- My goal for the Tribes-storyline has always been to explore what defeat looks like. A lot of games/stories show a short defeat screen or a few lines. In TSSR, instead, my hope was to really explore what defeat means, and let the player really explore the full scope of the consequences of their choices.
- For those who have never played this storyline before; simply make the following choices:
- Start > Stay with Thomas > Make all the bad decisions in preparing for the war with the Tribes.
- Significant variations in the story can play out, depending on if you spare the Emmisary or not.
v0.9.9.9
- This new update is aimed at expanding and resolving one of the minor-branch stories, specifically the "Hyral mountain" storyline.
- This is the storyline that plays out when Sarah joins captain Belmont, but then betrays him and sides with Nick. For players familiar with the storyline, they can continue where they were, for others the path to playing that storyline goes something like:
- Intro > Leave with Kate > Sleep with Belmont > Join Mercenaries > Fail training > Join Belmont > Side with Nick.
- I think I'll also work on adding an easier route to get to this story in the future, but for now this is how you unlock it.
- The total story comes out to around 20k words and adds about 45 new art pieces to the game.
