Succubus Contract I news & patch notes

Hello everyone!

It has happened!

My game has been fully approved. Nothing was cut — everything fully matches the original (especially for those who played the beta version). But this version is head and shoulders above all previous ones combined.

I am incredibly happy to announce that the game release will take place on April 9, 2026 at:

• 9:00 AM PDT (Pacific Time, USA)

• 12:00 PM ET (Eastern Time, USA)

• 4:00 PM UTC

• 5:00 PM London

• 6:00 PM CEST (Europe)

• 7:00 PM MSK (Moscow)

• 2:00 AM JST (Tokyo, already April 10)

That means in just under 20 hours you will be able to see my creation, which I have been working on for more than 7 years.

I was very lucky that the current development of technology allowed me to fully update and significantly improve the original. It would have been simply impossible to achieve this quality earlier — I tried.

This game is a real book with illustrations and a captivating story. It contains more than 180,000 words (not counting scripts). I worked very carefully on every character: their personality, manner of speech, and behavior. I really hope that this was successfully conveyed in all seven languages of the game.

Sometimes the translation may seem a bit strange — but this is a feature of the genre (a guy transforming into a girl). The protagonist sometimes thinks of himself as a guy, and sometimes already as a girl, and I tried to honestly convey this internal conflict. The translation itself is very good; it’s just that the genre features can sometimes create this effect.

I also want to be honest: the game was developed from 2019 to 2023. At the very beginning of my journey as a developer, the first renders turned out quite simple. But the further you progress through the story, the better and higher quality the images become — I was constantly growing and improving my skills and resources. Please treat this with understanding.

I will be sincerely happy if you like the game. For me, this will be the strongest incentive to release the sequel — Succubus Contract II, which is already in active development.

A huge thank you to all of you for your support, kind words, and faith in the project. Without you, none of this would ever have happened. Now I really hope that your expectations will be exceeded many times over.

It’s the perfect time to add the game to your wishlist, subscribe to my Steam group, and be among the first to click the cherished “Install” button!

Tomorrow may be the most important day of my life, so I need to prepare properly. I am looking forward to your feedback and impressions with great anticipation.

See you soon!

With respect, Stick4Luck

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, today’s game release will not happen…

I submitted the game for review two weeks before the planned release date. During the first week, I received a response from support with a list of required changes. I quickly fixed everything and resubmitted the game for another review.

However, during the second review, a ridiculous situation occurred: while the game was under review, the “Content Questionnaire” section was updated with new questions. Because of that, my information became outdated, so I had to update and supplement everything again before resubmitting the game for the third time.

As a result, the release is delayed by about another 5 business days. All I can do now is wait and hope that this time everything goes smoothly without any issues.

Thank you to everyone who has already added the game to their wishlist! I see your interest, and it really inspires and motivates me to make the game even better.

Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to announce that Succubus Contract I is fully ready for release!

I'm currently working on the trailer, and as soon as I finish it, I'll immediately submit the game for review to the Steam team. So, the smallest but most important step remains on the way to the Steam platform — pressing the "submit for review" button. The review usually takes 3–5 days if no issues arise, and I really hope it goes smoothly.

As soon as I receive any information, I'll let you know right away, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes through on the first try.

I've thoroughly tested the entire game back and forth, checked everything that could be checked, and I'm proud of the work done. Now the game looks exactly the way I dreamed it would.

Also, some of you may have noticed that I added Japanese language support to the game. I did this on my own initiative as a sign of respect. The first content on the gender swap theme that caught my interest came from Japanese creators. I hope the translation turned out well, since I don't have the means to verify it.

• Exclusive information: release date is March 27.

In short, very little time left! Be sure to add the game to your wishlist so you don't miss the release, and subscribe to the group to be the first to learn about the most exclusive news that appears ONLY here!

Stay tuned for updates!

Hello everyone!

The game now looks and feels WAY better — on a whole new level!

We’re super close to the finish line. Just a few last tiny cosmetic touches left… though every time I finish one “small things” list, a new one of exactly the same length magically appears 😅

That’s totally normal for a first big solo project full of early mistakes. But after 6+ years in this field, I’ve learned a lot — and thanks to that experience I’ve spotted and fixed a huge number of small issues and polished tons of details to a really high level.

I wanted to release a trailer already, but I’ll only do it once the game hits 100%.

Quick list of what’s freshly done:

• Completely clean, rock-solid script — zero bugs

• All artwork upgraded to beautiful 2560×1440 (2K / Quad HD) — crisp and vibrant

• Steam Achievements added — something to chase and show off

• Full atmospheric soundtrack in place

• Much more readable text + option to add outline and remove background behind text

• Game fully edited, tested and runs perfectly smooth

I originally planned two versions: an “Original” in 1280×720 (HD) and a “Remastered” 2560×1440 as DLC so players could choose. But after excellent AI upscaling the difference became tiny, and maintaining two versions would just double the work (and risk double the bugs).

So I decided to release only the Remastered 2560×1440 version right from the start — the best-looking one by default!

For those who love pure nostalgia, the classic 1280×720 original version will be available for free on my personal pages 😉

Huge news for players all over the world:

The game will launch with 6 languages right away!

• English

• Русский

• Deutsch

• Français

• Español

• 中文（简体）(Chinese characters are a bit tricky in this engine, but I’m working hard to make it perfect)

Overall, an enormous amount of cleanup and polish has been done. What I listed above is only the most recent big updates — I’ve already shared the full development journey in detail on my pages earlier.

Release window: March 2026

I’ll announce the exact date a bit later — Steam is very strict about release dates, so I want to be 100% sure before locking it in.

But one thing is clear: it’s really close now.

Please help me reach more players:

★ Add the game to your Wishlist — this massively boosts visibility on Steam and helps a ton!

★ Follow the group / news feed so you don’t miss the exact release date and trailer drop

Every wishlist and follow means the world to a solo developer who’s been working on this for years ❤️

Thank you so much for your support.

See you very soon — in-game!🚀

Hello everyone! 👋

This is my first post here — I'm still getting the hang of the platform, but it gets easier and clearer every day.

Right now, the release version of the game is about 40% complete. That means you'll be able to see the results pretty soon!

Please — add the game to your wishlist ❤️ It really makes a huge difference both for promotion and for keeping me motivated to keep going.

Upcoming plans:

• Create and release a proper trailer

• Make colorful, eye-catching illustrations for the store page (right now the images are just placeholders)

• Polish the Russian text and finish a high-quality English translation

A bit later, once the game is fully finished and polished to the best of my ability, I plan to add support for more languages. The candidates include: French, Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, and possibly a few others.

Which languages get priority? That's up to you! I'll soon run a poll about this across all my socials, so follow me and stay tuned — I promise to post updates here more often.

Thank you so much for being here! See you in the next updates ✌️
