Serenia
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Welcome to Serenia!
Serenia is an Open World Fantasy Adult RPG Dungeon Crawler where you play as Anno, the Court Wizard of the kingdom of Serenia. When a prophecy warns of a coming dark lord, you must set out on your own to prepare for what’s coming. To protect the city and those you care about, you must grow stronger by delving into ancient labyrinths and uncovering forgotten magic. Serenia combines story-driven RPG progression and dungeon exploration, with a strong focus on NSFW encounters and character interactions. Serenia is planned to be released in 3 chapters.

- Turn-based combat with leveling, items, and unique enemies. (No grinding)

Tone & Content
- Dark & Explicit: The game leans heavily into dark humor and non-consensual (non-con) themes, as clearly shown in the project thumbnails.
- Not a Standard Sim: This is not a traditional dating sim or a lighthearted harem game.
- A Chapter-Based Journey: Serenia is a multi-chapter story focused on a corruption arc.
- The Chapter 1 "Prologue": In the first chapter, the MC plays the role of a "good person." Think of this as a long prologue. From Chapter 2 onward, the mask comes off. The player will be given meaningful choices to stay on a "good" path or lean into "evil." If the MC feels too nice right now, it’s because you are witnessing the starting point before his descent.
Addressing NTR
- By definition, this is not an NTR game. There are no scenes—now or in the future—where the MC’s romantic interest, family member, loved one, etc, is forcefully taken from him, nor is he ever made to feel jealous or "cucked."
- In Chapter 1, the MC is mostly focused on one/two girls. Their scenes are exclusive—there is zero "other guy" involvement with his partner.
However, players sensitive to certain themes should be aware of the following (which some may interpret as NTR-adjacent):
- Many scenes do not feature the MC at all (e.g., Orcs attacking a village or bandits encountering NPCs).
- The player can often choose to save girls or let "bad things" happen to them. Some of these girls can become love interests later in the story regardless of their past.
- There is one specific character who cannot be saved from her initial circumstances. She can, however, become a love interest later.
Tips if you feel stuck
- Resting in bed will advance the day and may reset missing NPCs like Zuri or Piggy
About AI
- Visual Assets (AI + Photoshop): The game utilizes AI-generated imagery for assets that I then edit in Photoshop. "full-screen" AI images are used sparingly.
- Animation (No AI): Every animation is hand-crafted/rigged in After Effects to ensure quality and fluid movement.
- Audio (No AI): No AI is used for music, sound effects, or voice—all audio is sourced or created traditionally.
- Writing (No AI): All story and dialogue are human-written. AI is used strictly for proofreading and grammar checks.
- Code (Some AI): AI is used as a tool to troubleshoot and optimize Ren'Py scripts.

Awesome game. Spent some good hours playing it but I found some issues that I think are getting me stuck. I saved the dawn and it's already living in the tower, but the "save dawn and kill 3 goblins with goblinslayer" quest is still there. I found the archmage vault after giving the bottle of beer to that green Monster so he would help me distract the Minotaur. When I click the door, Anno says that he needs to talk again to the creature in the cellar. When I go there, there is no quest related dialog options. There is also a quest to search for Zuri at the bar. When I talk to the bar owner, he hasn't seen her and I got a tip telling to solve the other quests to progress, but I think something is broken.
Thanks for playing the game! Glad you like it and sorry you got stuck.
In the upcoming update (v1.1) I improve a few of the quest issues people were having. It’s hard to tell exactly the issue here, but to get the quest from the creature in the cells you need to finish the Olivia statue quest and Shrine quest (one by spider queen). I think once those are done and you go back to the door you get the quest to activate (unless it’s already on there) That might be what is holding you back? If you already did those and still stuck let me know. If needed I can send you the early access link on Disc as a fix. I’m not 100% I got all the bugs and hate to hear when people hit them.
The Fawn quest still showing seems like a bug and I’ll have to look into it. It’s the first bug report I got on that one.
If you didn’t know already, there is a cheat menu in the bookshelf to unlock the gallery if you felt you missed anything. Or if you wait for the update it, might fix your issue.
Sorry. I was using the older version before the fix. After I downloaded the right one, the creature at the cell have me the dialogue option to proceed with the quest. Just finished the chapter. Bittersweet feeling. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Glad that fixed it!
Thanks for playing!
Chapter 2 will come out in smaller parts (aiming for 2 hours or so playtime per update). Just finishing up v1.1 which is the audio update and also adds ‘save paths’ and 3 new scenes. That’s out later this week I think
I'm stuck. I found the archmage vault but I can't find the key. The priestess is telling me to wait. And I cannot find the secret of the empty stone room
Hello,
Thanks for checking out the game!
The vault and priestess will unlock after the Zuri quest line and the empty stone room.
The empty stone room can be found close to where you use the shock spell to get past the voice in the dark (by rat room). It’s a dark square room and there is a hidden switch on the back wall. The game also offers the player the option to use magic to highlight the secret switch for a mana cost (the first time you visit the room only).
