Decaying Flowers

Decaying Flowers is a Japanese adult role-playing/simulation game made using the RPG Maker toolkit. In a fantasy world inhabited by both humans and monsters, an ordinary man named Lobelia somehow comes into possession of a large fortune, which he uses to live a life of extreme hedonism. After indulging all of his fantasies and having sex with every kind of prostitute, Lobelia begins to grow bored, seeking a different kind of thrill. While rummaging through his mansion's library one day, Lobelia finds an I.O.U. note from a local store, whose owners had owed a significant amount of money to the former owner of the mansion. Upon learning that the store is now owned solely by a cute orphan girl named Marpel, Lobelia sees an opportunity to collect his debt by turning the impoverished Marpel into his sexual plaything.

The player controls Marpel as she works to pay off her debt by carrying out tasks for Lobelia. Working reduces debt at the cost of physical and mental strength, both of which are attributes represented by values. If Marpel's physical strength is too low, she will be unable to work, and if her mental strength runs out, it's game over. Marpel can regain strength by resting, which causes time to pass. The game progresses in increments of days, with each new day potentially containing new jobs. Marpel must complete three tasks every seven days, or her debt will be increased.

In addition to working, Marpel can go adventuring by exploring dungeons and fighting monsters, which also consumes physical and mental strength. Dungeons may contain items and treasure chests which can help Marpel achieve her goals. Combat is turn-based, with the player selecting their chosen action from a pop-up menu. Losing a fight may result in a sex scene in which Marpel is raped by her opponent.
