The fourth game by Arcus Plume is a light-hearted visual novel about a young noblewoman and her handmaid who are starting to take an interest in adult stuff. It is a story about close but platonic relationships turning into physical ones. It is also a story about... well, all right... everyone being horny all the time. Who would have guessed?

Although Eleanor's Handmaid is not a direct sequel to Succubus Research Diary, the two games have some connections. Julie D'Faerwyn, the mother of the new game's protagonist, made a brief but passionate appearance in the Serena's Services story arc of Succubus Research Diary (updates 1.4 and 1.5). Everyone's favorite pink-haired succubus, Nerisha, will in turn have a role in Eleanor's Handmaid.

September 6, 2022: star_of_mastery Version 1.4.0: An Old Friend star_of_mastery

The release date (or even month) of the fifth content update, however, is still yet to be decided, because it will connect the story of Succubus Research Diary with the yet-to-be-announced next Arcus Plume game. The update will probably come out shortly after the announcement of the new game.

The second piece of good news is that Serena and Nerisha will make their appearance in the above-mentioned next game as well! Not as major characters, though. wing_left wing_right How do they end up in that game? Play the upcoming updates to find out!

This is a small update that corrects a couple of dozen grammatical errors and typos. unit_of_mana

It's Nerisha's turn to be the protagonist! The story so far has been told almost exclusively from Serena's point of view. But not this time! It's time for the cute succubus Nerisha to bask in the spotlight! Oh, and she will also meet Jenny for the first time. And not only meet her... heart_of_succubus

Nerisha's Services is essentially a sequel to Serena's Services (added in version 1.2.0). To Nerisha's dismay, the new content can be found in the Serena's Services submenu.

New things in a nutshell:

• New event art
  
• New 7000 word story featuring Nerisha as the protagonist! star_of_mastery

[h2]Trading cards[/h2]

Succubus Research Diary became eligible for the virtual goodies known as Steam Community Items a while ago. And now they are ready and approved for release! If you are planning on exploring the Underground, take some Trading Cards, Badges, Emoticons, and Profile Backgrounds with you. That's what the renowned explorer Serena would certainly not do!

• The trading cards feature the main characters and the rooms of Nerisha's home.
  
• The badges are modeled after Nerisha's garden plants.
  
• The backgrounds feature Serena and Nerisha, Underground scenery, and decorative plant designs.
  
• The emoticons are succubus-themed items such as horns, wings, and hearts.
  

The second content update is here! Serena's Services expands the story in a new direction as well as introduces a new character, Jenny, to the game.

What does Serena do to make the big bucks and what does it have to do with Jenny? It's time to find out!

New and shiny things:

• New character, background, and event art
  
• New 5000 word story about Serena's business with Jenny
  
• New achievements
  

Succubus Research Diary will get another content update in early December. The upcoming update will add a new short story (split into two episodes) that takes place after Ending 1. The story will be entirely focused on Serena's secondary profession (whatever that might be...) and it will introduce a new character to the game! Her name is Jenny.

This is a content update that adds epilogues to the game: one for each ending. Find out what Serena and Nerisha are up to shortly after the endings!

This update adds the following:

• More content: approx. 5000 words and 3 event CGs (+23 variants)
  
• 2 new achievements
  
• New functionality in the 'Sex Scenes' gallery: shortcuts to endings and epilogues
  

Succubus Research Diary will get a content update in a couple of weeks. As the title suggests, the upcoming update will add epilogues to the game: one for each ending. It is to be expected that Serena and Nerisha will have some "non-platonic fun" in these follow-up episodes...

Succubus Research Diary finally has a release date. Although it's not quite in late August as earlier planned, it's still in the very near future. Only three weeks now until the exciting, erotic, and adult-rated adventures of Serena and Nerisha can begin! Prepare yourself to dive into the mysterious Underground where you can learn what happens when an exceptionally seductive human meets a totally inexperienced succubus...

Succubus Research Diary will be released in August instead of June. There are mainly two reasons for this change. First, the earlier estimate was too optimistic (not to say unrealistic) to begin with. Second, the game will be somewhat longer than initially planned.

I believe that the extra time investment is worth it to make Succubus Research Diary a better game.

Thank you for your patience (if you have any to spare).
