Power Corrupts: Paragon
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
- Play a newly manifested superhuman in a morally gray world where what you can take is limited only by your grasp
- None can match your superhuman strength and durability
- Play a male or female character, straight, gay, or bisexual
- Your choices determine your moral and ethical standing
- Visual novel element within a sandbox framework
- Placeholder art will be replaced with professionally commissioned artwork as funding allows
Current Version: 0.2
Work has resumed after a long hiatus! Note, however, that a ground-up remake is underway, so this is the last update for this "branch" of development. Still, it will give you an idea of what's in store.
Big differences in the remake:
- Art will be 3DCG instead of placeholders
- Storyline is tighter
- The player character is more explicitly destined for villainy - in fact, the setting's major antagonist. However, your choices will determine what kind of villain you are. Instead of the Morality and Ethics attributes, the game tracks how honorable vs pragmatic you are - do the ends justify the means, or are you an exploitative monster?
Paragon is in a state of paused development.

No update in over a year, I suppose we can consider it abandoned at this point?
Not abandoned, but the remake is something I've got backburned. I picked up a decent graphics card and I'll be back at this as soon as I've wrapped up with Thaumarotica.
Renders are going MUCH more quickly now.
you sure?
Has this been abandoned? if not, I'll wait till the rework is finished.
Looking forward to more eventually...really wanted to know who that voyeur was lol
Game's interesting so far, when's the next update? :
Last I heard the dev was basically restarting from scratch and getting a new computer to do so expect this one to be vapourware for a while
You know, it's a good time for an update post. I'll make one.
Is this project dead? There does not seem be much in the way of recent updates and it would be sad to see an interesting concept like become abandonware
That which is dead can eternal lie...
but with strange aeons even death may die!
I'm working on a Unity framework for the game. I don't want to hype it too much until I have something worthwhile to show off, though. No idea how long that'll be, so to be safe I'd say that development has slowed, but not stopped.
Nice to see things are still chugging along abiet slowly, keep up the good work!
I do like the concept of the Game.. but the art style puts me off .. sorry..
It's been almost a year, but guess what? I'm remaking the game with 3D renders.
I found this while you were on hiatus and I've been eagerly awaiting the return. I'm glad you're back, DP.
Glad to be back! Most difficult part was figuring out exactly where I'd left off.
Looks promising ........ but really short to start........
I.E. NO I repeat NO nudity or sex content at all for either GENDER
Okay................ just wondering.........
How long will it take to get to get to do anything with this.....?
I did laugh at the part were Gina said "If I was you I'd just kool-aid man through a fucking wall and leave."
at some point the creators of this game... should make that possible at least as a FLASH-Through thought.
Sorry, I missed this comment for over a year.
There's *some* sexual content in Issue 1, but it's really easy to miss. Definitely not the kind of game where you'll automatically hit all the sex scenes no matter what choices you make, and in the future, your choices might lock you out of some relationship options.
The goal is to pace it so that each episode has more adult content than the last.
