Stormside
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is Stormside - An adult harem visual novel..
After returning from your time within a special military unit designed for people with magical abilities, you meet your childhood friend, Riley, and her best friend Cassie, who are planning their own next steps in life. You find yourself joining them at the Stormside International Academy.
It isn't long before you discover that this academy, and the way it treats its students is anything but ordinary...
(And no, the magical abilities aren't "you can corrupt girls with your mind" or anything like that..)
This is a game about an academy that allows female students to be sexually punished and/or rewarded by an individual known as "The Magistrate". When the Magistrate gets injured, his position is up for grabs, allowing you to take his place.
Will you use your new position to protect the girls from punishment, or will you use it to become their master?
The game features a branching story that changes depending on your choices, and so it's not possible to get all the content in one playthrough. It's worth knowing that going in.
880+ animations!
10,000+ renders!
So far...
Hope you enjoy :D Here's some characters..
If you like it, and wanna support development and get early access to builds and stuff....
Alternatively, if you just wanna come and shout at me...
Additional details
- The game features lesbian content, which you can opt out of. Doing so changes the story, but not negatively.
- All punishments are optional, with one exception. In the current version, there is one punishment you are forced to carry out, but you can choose to be tame.
- You definitely aren't gonna see all the content in one playthrough, and this will only become more true as development goes on. (You can use saves though to achieve this. The game does have named saves.)
- Not all the choices matter, but a lot of them do. There's a gallery unlocker at the end in case people just wanna see all the scenes though. There is (or will be) more than one way to get on each girl's route, the whole idea is to do what you wanna do, without having to worry about accidentally locking yourself out of your preferred outcome. Since the game is in development, it may seem like there's an optimal path right now, but as development continues, this may prove not to be the case. For example, not getting a scene at the end of the current update, means you'll most likely get a scene later on which you otherwise wouldn't have gotten. This game will be a completionist's nightmare lmao.
With all that in mind, have fun ya nerds.
Here are some other fun games :D

Is this game ever gonna be updated
哦，天哪，这确实是完美主义者的噩梦！！！！
It's kind of aggravating that I'm following (in one save thread) the path to get Hikari to take the spanking and the current version ends before the payoff. What I really want to know is, did I classify the hunted ghost correctly as a 4C? Having it come back is a complication I *don't* need! Anybody else have an opinion or guess?
W game, only game i fully played through as of now
Please scale your opening loading% animation to account for us poor souls still stuck with less-than-4k monitors. Even though I have my normal (Linux) system settings otherwise, your graphic splashes across both of my monitors, which is awkward because my primary is portrait orientation for word prokking and the other is landscape for video watching and game playing. I have reasons to not make the landscape one my primary.
Animations and renders are seemingly made with love. Best writing.
Has this been abandoned?
No, but don't expect anything remotely like fast updates. The developer has a unique concept which includes massive branching and different facial expressions for each branch, even superficially similar ones. The developer also has a demanding full-time job.
As a result, updates are rare and may not necessarily advance the story much depending on the branching-related overhead. Personally, like most people I wouldn't need so much perfectionism around the branching, but apparently that's precisely what motivates the developer and ensures that we get any progress at all. So instead of complaining I am exploring the branching while waiting up to a year for the next update.
Not a problem, appreciate the information. Just wanted to be sure. I would always rather wait on quality than get a lot of disappointing content.
Please make an android version i beg of you
Use Joiplay. It's basically an emulator. You can play PC version on Android with that. It's what I do.
will there be pregnancy/imprengation
WE NEED CHINESE,THANKS
Fantastic writing, can't wait to see where the story goes
One of the few games that makes me laugh out loud and constantly grin, well written, very funny, and engaging. I demand more Sasha now....aside that tho, glad to hear it's still being worked on.
Last post I saw from the creator was late November. It was basically just stating that they are still working on the game and that it's a large update and that they'll have more time to work on the game after holidays.
If this is really abandoned it is a very sad story, because it was a very nice game. I wanted to see it grow but... well, whatever i guess.
It's not abandoned. Check the Discord.
Is this game abandoned? It has been quite a few months since the last release. Even the patreon / subscribe star seems a bit quiet
No.
When will taliya have a sex scene?
did i do something wrong when saving Riley from the party, because i was forced straight to her room and not given a choice to use mine
Try the Mission again
Hey Is there anyone still working on this? If not Please come in here and Post a Notice saying that the Game is Abandoned and after 3-4 Month's Pull it out
On SS, there seems SOME udate note, buuuttttt…. Chalking this as abandoned. And right @ the cliffhanger!!
Ok thanks
great game But with the Long time between Updates i think the Devl just got too much work and just left it and did not have the Passion for the Game!
Always seems to happen. Still, better (in my opinion) than devs who label game critics as spam or trolls. Those are total tde p***ies. On my shit list is Crimson High for both content removal 0.36-0.38 and itch tyranny, as well as Corrupted Kingdoms for likewise itch tyranny. Sooner play an abandoned game than a CCP one.
Sadly i know the Feeling!
Who’s on YOUR shitlist? I’d like to know what imperious bootlickers to avoid. F ‘em. Also, know what? For that inside scoop alone, I followed you. And, hey, if you wanna fb, I’m not gonna stop ya.
just checked patron and the latest development update was October 14 which was titled Development Update #31 so I guessing that there is still some work but I don't really know.
It's still being worked on.
It's still being worked on.
The discord link in the game doesn't work, is there another one
On the game page just below the SubscribeStar & Patreon.

Thx
Game abandoned?
No
Is there a chance that this game will have an android version, because this game looks promising based on the comments.
Few hours in and it feels like the real story's just beginning. Sometimes, it's a bit cheesy, but regardless, the vast amount of effort put into this project is clear as day.
The Director is, by far, my favorite character so far. Immersion factor 10/10. I've lost count of how many times I've blurted out, "What the fuck?" and "Really?" in perfect sync with MC's inner monologue.
One super small issue I have with the MC's logic is that he has supernatural aspects about him, but doesn't believe in ghosts? Also there's quite a few bugs, but it probably comes with the territory as this is probably the most I've ever seen RenPy's limits stretched.
Either way, really glad this exists! Enjoying it a lot so far and can't wait to play more.
As a person who struggles with anxiety and feels 'bad' when being 'forced' to commit BDSM, I really, REALLY appreciate the way Stormside handles this with multiple routes. With the romance routes, I feel like I am legitimately 'saving' the girls from crueler punishments and can enjoy the story and the (romantic) relationships that develop.
Note: I am not judging anyone who appreciates those routes or who enjoys BDSM. This is purely based on my personal preferences.
Am I the one stuck at a very beginning part???? After the conversation with Cassie after the "sex", there is a text message conversation with Dad, then after the conversation, my game seems bugged, the only thing I can do is to click for the phone function, and don't seems that there is any message I miss.
Ps. Solved, seems that the only way is to start a completely new save
This happened to me a couple times when trying to scroll up and the game got confused between scrolling the phone screen and returning to previous screen. Was able to flip back and forth a few times and scrolled "back" until it let me through.
有没有中文的翻译，英文不是很好，日文也可以。
Ich bis sehr begeistert von diesem Spiel. Eine von Beginn an fesselnde Geschichte, die unter die Haut geht. Superschöne Bilder und Animationen und sehr gut verständliche englische Texte. Ein Kunstwerk dieses Genre. Danke für diesen Diamanten in meiner Spielesammlung.
I am very excited about this game. A captivating story from the start that gets under your skin. Superbly beautiful images and animations and very understandable English texts. A work of art in this genre. Thanks for this diamond in my game collection.
Ich hoffe auf mehr
I hope for more
Not gonna lie, the ghost hunt part was a PITA, but the rest is pretty fun.
You can skip it at the start.
That's true. I did go through it the first time otherwise I would have felt like I cheated lol.
This game has quality story and humor. It's super cute and fun.
It's been 9 months...
they put a devlog on pation in october so progress is beeing made
That's great
That's good to hear. It ended with "making quick updates guys" and then I look at the last update and... a year is not "quick updates".
Everything from the little dev blurbs and jokes to the actual dialogue in this is great. The small things that really bring out a personality like Hikari and thunder or Sasha and being so fit for her "job". At first I though this was just gonna be like The Headmaster, but I much prefer how this is done.
so do I
tbh i was surprised at the comedy it has but it is a realy great game
impregnation?
Hi, great game i played from unofficial android port but do you think there will be Official android from you ?
What was the Port I am dying to try this game
Love this. Many funny moments. Kind of like those developer notes. I can feel all the effort on this game, and I really appreciate the in game walk-through. The developer must be an interesting person. Hope we can get an update soon.
The dorm room scene drawing is so funny :D
I laughed when I noticed the tiny words show up for the ghost hunt
so the lesbian content does it affect the story a lot if its off? and how good is the lesbian scenes
I've liked what little I've seen (one scene each with Riley+Cassie & the two 2nd-year girls). I don't see presence or absence as impacting the overall story much either way, not with the greater issues of [what are the companies behind this really trying to accomplish?], [should Our Hero help advance these goals wholeheartedly or sabotage them?], [what do ghosts have to do with anything else?], and of course the cliffhanger regarding some element of Our Hero's past apparently resurfacing.
