From ぺぺろんちーの, the circle behind the Goblin Nest series, comes a brand-new title: To the Wives Who Were Heroes (かつて勇者だった妻達へ). Its Steam page is already up, but the Steam release is not due until late 2026 — so for anyone who does not want to wait, the uncensored Traditional Chinese edition drops first on the 072 Project platform on June 17, bundling both of the original DLCs (「かつて姫君だった女王へ」 and 「かつて将軍だった魔王へ」). The setting also ties into the Goblin Nest and Adventurer’s Inn series, so longtime fans will spot a few familiar faces.

Story: Ten Years of Peace, the Hero Gone, the Wives Take Up Arms Again

Ten years after the Demon Lord fell, the world is at peace and the old hero’s party have each settled into family life. Then the fortune-teller Leon glimpses an omen of a new Demon Lord, forcing him to reassemble these former companions — now all married wives. The catch: the Hero herself lies long dead, and a decade of rust has left the rest far weaker than before. As they are now, the new Demon Lord lurking deep in the dungeon is all but unbeatable.

Their one bargaining chip is the forbidden art Leon learned in seclusion — “Spirit Possession.” This possession magic massively boosts the recipient’s combat power, but at a steep price: after each casting, that night demands a forbidden “Ritual” with the possessed companion. “Pure love or carnal desire — whichever we choose, we can never go back to how things were.”

Gameplay: 10-Floor 3D Dungeon × Random Enchants × Free Class-Change

The backbone is a 10-floor 3D dungeon crawl: you lead Leon and four wife-heroes down floor by floor, clearing each floor’s boss to descend. The juiciest progression is the random-enchant (MOD) gear — each weapon can carry up to 6 random effects, and a high-quality drop can flip your power level, making gear gambling deeply satisfying. The class system is generous too: changing class resets level but keeps all stats, a new skill unlocks every 5 levels, and abilities across classes mix freely with virtually no loss.

Exploration is well-cushioned: tap space to auto-walk and fill in the map, or click a target tile to auto-path there. As for difficulty, the devs suggest Easy for a first run — HP never hits zero in battle, so you can enjoy the story and adult content stress-free; Normal is tougher and is required to unlock the hidden Good End, so clear an Easy loop and power up first.

Core Adult System: The “Ritual” Branch as Spirit-Possession’s Price

The adult content is driven by the “Ritual” that pays the cost of Spirit Possession. After each casting and dungeon run, you choose a “Pure-Love Ritual” or “Carnal Ritual” for the target; by the 3rd choice the route locks in, leading to wholly different conclusions. On the pure-love path, the four wives and Leon gradually grow real feelings through these forbidden nights, with promises, guilt and attachment all intertwined. On the carnal path, the price of the magic keeps developing their senses — from reluctant acceptance to active dependence — with nuanced, layered shifts in mindset, and later even partners other than the protagonist appear, stirring up messier entanglements.
