Overview:
From the Dev Team: Welcome to Patronus! Patronus is a slave training game set in ancient Rome. It’s a straight historical setting without fantasy elements. This is an Alpha version release. We know that there are bugs, problems, explosions, fiery loss of boner issues, etc. Don’t Panic! Better releases are on their way.
Gameplay:
There are a couple of new or different mechanisms in this game. The first is the day planner. In the upper left corner of the screen you will see a Star/Sun or a Moon. If you click on this you can schedule activities. Right now there are only basic travel activities, but more content is coming, stay tuned. Also new to the genre is that each character has some stats that are not immediately visible. For example, the player will have no direct way of seeing the protagonists Inclicio statistic. This is on purpose. Sometimes, you will also see menus change in weird ways including additional information on the character you’re talking to. When this happens it means you’ve successfully made an insight roll. Don’t Panic.
Training Slaves:
You will have to take your slaves to the bedroom and attempt training in order to unlock them working in the bordello. If you fail, you can punish the slave. Read the hints on how to do this. Keep it in the green. Also, don’t do this too much.
Quests:
Some content is only unlocked after completing quests. We have created a simple, sample tutorial quest so you can see how it works.
Content:
The alpha content ends once you have the bordello running and have trained your first slave (Fasti) to serve patrons. That’s the alpha. We hope you enjoy it. Right now, only massage, bathing, boobjob and hand job unlock in alpha. Other sex acts unlock later.
