Private Dick: Red Tie Demo
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

About The Game
P.D. Sam Steele is in a rut. His clients have dried up, his useless secretary is demanding her paycheck, and his ex-girlfriend has broken the sanctity of his favourite bar. It's almost a relief when a fresh case walks through the door. Almost.
A missing dog, an unrequited debt and a sudden kidnapping all come to a head in a dingy motel out of town.
Private Dick: Lipstick & Lies is the first part of an anthology of loosely-connected erotic stories. Inspired by modern neo-noir greats like Sin City and Max Payne, as well as genre classics like The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, and The Third Man.

Adult Content
Private Dick is an erotic adventure game for adults only.
It features a mature, sophisticated storyline, with themes including infidelity that may be upsetting to some players. This is a game about sex, not romance.
Private Dick's sex is positive, consensual and creative. There is no humiliation, torture, shame or harassment. All characters are clearly adults over the age of 18.
Kinks include vaginal, anal and oral sex, Scenes can be gentle or be pushed a little rougher.
No web build?
The Red Tie demo does not currently support a web version. This is mostly because the game's audio (sound and voice tracks) do not work very well on the web.

The demo is really awesome! Any news about release date on Steam? Additionally, I sent you an email regarding translation a few days ago. Could you take a look to it? Thanks!
Hi, thanks! Steam Early Access is planes but it's still some time away. It's been a difficult month for dev time :( Don't want to commit to anything but maybe October?
I didn't see the email - I'll check when I get a chance. Did you send to the ciscodonovangames Gmail?
Indeed, I sent it to ciscodonovangames gmail. If it's still not there, plz let me know!
Is there going to be any gay or futa stuff?
Neither is currently planned I'm afraid.
I ran in a loop during wich Emilly speaks of mindless sex dolls, have to pick "Sure" or "Maybe not"... but no matter what i pick she just loop back at the beginning of that topic
Oh no! Let me look into that right away. Thanks for posting
Hmm. To be clear, you do have to pick "I'm sorry, I can't help you" from the root of that menu (don't worry, she talks him around)
I thought asking more stuff before saying no made sense.
Indeed, picking "i can't help you" from the start does allow one to progress.
Choosing to dig for info though, does lock you in the loop.
And starting anew after having chosen to dig for infos does not allow you to pick the "i can't help you" option
Or at least in my case it did take the choice i made previously without allowing me to make a new one.
Had to uninstall and reinstall the game to be able to pick new choices.
Picking third choice from the start, and one that sounds like a polite "Buzz off" is a bit weird to me.
But hey, if you says it's normal...
Aha - I've worked out why the choices are vanishing, I'll upload that as a 0.1.1 in a minute. Thank you.
I am struggling to re-create the loop but I will keep trying!
I do expect most players to exhaust all other options before saying "I can't help you", but also provide the option to short-cut the conversation. Certainly there's no intention to create an inescapable loop here.
I think it may be linked to the choice vanishing issue.
I may have rolled back, sensitive mouse and all that. Then because there was no option to pick from the program may have launched the last picked choice, and again each time i reached the end of said topic. I may have misled you with a faulty diagnostic.
That could be it - the issue was that the game wasn't saving the state of your choice properly, so when you went back you were pretty much getting random results.
It's a subtle issue that's not been flagged by anyone before now - and thanks to you its fixed! Hurrah! Appreciate you reaching out.
