Sacrifice Villains

About

Sacrifice Villains is a PC-based visual novel where you manage a villain rehabilitation program in a city overrun by crime. You take control of the Asylum, a facility designed to retrain the most dangerous criminals, turning S-rank villains into heroes. The game blends dialogue-driven storytelling with light strategy as you balance moral choices, resource management, and character development to steer villains toward redemption. The narrative unfolds in Scum City, a chaotic metropolis where heroes struggle against increasingly powerful antagonists, and your success determines whether these reformed criminals become allies in the fight for justice. The game’s twist lies in its focus on rehabilitation over combat, offering a fresh perspective on the hero-villain dynamic. With single-player gameplay and a runtime optimized for casual play, it leans into character-driven scenarios and branching decisions that shape outcomes. CLOCKUP’s design prioritizes narrative depth over action, making it a brisk but memorable entry in the visual novel genre. Set for release in early 2025, it arrives as a concise but conceptually bold experiment in role-playing with the bad guys.

Storyline

Ever since the day the SUPERVILLAINS appeared, CRIME has been the king of the streets of SCUM CITY— But in the center of this hive of evil sits a paradise, and its name is JUSTOPIAN WARD. Standing opposed to the dastardly villains, the SUPERHEROES built this autonomous safe zone as a thriving base of VIRTUE amidst the CHAOS around them. Its FOUNDER—its MAYOR—its CHAMPION—is none other than JUSTOPIA himself, the ultimate hero, the bane of the countless villains he has brought to account for their innumerable sins. As the creator and chairman of the HERO SOCIETY, Justopia also commands the other heroes in their tireless efforts to wipe crime from the face of the city and bring peace to the world at large. Yet the conniving VILLAINS grow stronger and stronger, and the HEROES find themselves walloped rather than walloping... and some of their number pledge themselves to the darkness in acts of foulest BETRAYAL! To whom should Justopia turn for help, if not to the ASYLUM? This rehabilitative institution brings villains to the light, and who should be fit to lead it—if not YOU? Capture S-rank Villains and turn them into heroes as quickly and efficiently as you can. It's up to you to reform these filthy scumbags—and set their powers back to work for the cause of JUSTICE!
