Behind the stories

A small studio.
A darker imagination.

Guilty Tales is an independent studio. I make games for adults: branching conversations, visual novels and, next, a management game. Each one is built around characters, choices and stories that don’t play it safe.

My games explore fetish and BDSM themes, each with its own setting and its own content notes. Coerced was the first Guilty Tale. It won’t be the last.
