About Silk and Secrets: Rites of Pleasure
Infiltrate the orgiastic secret society beneath the modern-day Palace of Versailles! Will you expose their sex rituals or surrender to their pleasures?
Silk and Secrets: Rites of Pleasure is an interactive erotic novel by A. Simon where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based, 100,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.When you begin your research into Versailles’ decadent royal history, you uncover secrets far more lustful than you ever imagined. A society called the "Court of Pleasures" secretly carries on the hedonistic rituals of Louis XVI’s court. Initiated into the society as the Duchess of Sighs, you must decide what you are willing to trade for access, influence, and truth. Will you investigate the society from within, gathering evidence to expose it, securing your place in history? Or will you embrace your new role, surrendering to the pleasures, power, and protection the society offers?
And most importantly of all, will you manipulate others’ desire for your advantage, indulge in sexual pleasure for its own sake, or find true love amid the society’s erotic rituals? Marcus, the palace security guard who brought you into the society, has broad muscular shoulders, a sultry gaze, and a wickedly talented tongue. He’ll let you take control and go down on you in public–or, if you want, he’ll dominate and teach you a thousand new tricks. Your fellow scholar Jules has fantastic wealth and privilege–not to mention fantastic blue eyes and even better fashion. A connection with his family could be your ticket to power–and a night with him means acrobatic tricks and burning intensity. Or there’s the smooth-voiced man known only as the Duke of Dishabille, masked and elegant. He’s learned countless historical forms of debauchery during his tenure in the society: let him introduce you to his collection of toys.
Or, find pleasure for a night or just a few minutes with any one of the society’s other members of any gender. But beware: all knowledge comes at a price.

Will you expose the truth, or abandon restraint and expose your hidden desires?

The smut is top notch - A+, no notes. But ultimately, while things start strong and full of potential, I personally found it all steadily slipped away until only disappointment remained. The protagonist isn't portrayed so much as a history student hungry for knowledge as an utterly mercenary reporter willing to do anything for a scoop, and it's bewildering. Why is she so focused on gaining knowledge of the current members and running of the Court of Pleasures, rather than it's HISTORY? She is a HISTORY student, and the Society would likely be far more open to sharing old historical records that would in no way impact those currently involved or even hint at the Society still existing. And there's no escaping this bizarre choice, because the entire game revolves around it, no matter what choices you make. Choices - the backbone of a game of this sort - are often ignored or even nonexistent. Your initiation HAS to be performed by Marcus. You HAVE to dig into the modern Society rather than snoop for historical facts and evidence. You WILL declare that you were initially using your chosen lover for the sake of your paper, even if you in fact were thinking nothing of the sort at any p…36 found this helpful
Well, to start i definitely agree with the other review here - the smut is great, if anything i wish more HCs committed to it the way this game does. The spice is not the issue here, everything else is. The game does its best to create the illusion of choice : from the 3-4 dialogue options per page to the 8 disposition stats that should reflect mc (and we get a good range that in theory can allow for a lot of rp, calculated opportunist vs wild party girl being the 2 extremes). Problem is that's all inconsequential. Fake choices. Minimal branching. Whatever option you pick at worst you get a stat increase at best you get one/two flavour lines. You decide who your lover is, you decide if you sleep with them or not, you decide where you do it.. That's.. about it really. The rest the game decides for you. It'll even decide who mc is and how she acts. Despite my very specific playstyle of constantly prioritizing mc's goal of publishing her work no matter the cost; despite constantly calling everyone a tool and a means to an end; despite constantly lying and sneaking around and not getting caught - mc still, STILL on her own decides to override all that to confess everything she did t…17 found this helpful
