Bound in Desire 0.36
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Bound in Desire is a full 3D, third person role play game with a focus on erotic and kinky bondage adventures.
You play as Kyra, the new technical manager for the developing outpost planet Tau Centi 3.
Your job was supposed to be easy and laid back, just overwatching some gynoids and androids, but seemingly the AI got kind of distracted and redefined how humans are to be... bound and restrained.
Features
Just like Milky Ways, a full 3D environment for the player to discover (this time in third-person perspective)
A lewd Main AI which really likes to see humans bound and restrained. (plus vibrators)
Bondage and lewd devices you can build with the building device in the main base. You may build as much as you want, but be careful , you need resources for them.
The start of a way to kinky story.
Several outfits for the girls unlocked during the story or during exploration
Several lewd toys the girls can wear on their body (will be expanded in later updates)
A free roaming mode during the game in which you can find new devices or play with the girls or see them play with the devices on their own or maybe with each other.
A simple inventory system to manage the kinky toys (WIP)
A simple character creator.
Some hints for first time players :
The game will take a long time to load up and maybe appear to be frozen. This is due to the massive amount of animations I created and all the assets which needs to be loaded in.
Controls:
W,A,S,D (the usual =P)
C - crouch
Tab - Inventory
M - Map and quests
Esc - Menu
Shift - slow walk/crouch
E - interact with NPC/toy/device/Machine
G - Ping for doable events
A few little tips:
(There is a Tips and Tricks file in the game folder and some save files if you get stuck)
When you do not know where to go to , press M to call the map and then click on the next quest (right part of the screen)
Pressing Q in any event will make it almost skip through it (until a decision has to be made or the event ends)
Pressing G in free roaming mode shows you the doable events in the vicinity (look for a particle effect)
Running past the evil robots who want to restrain you is a valid tactic (I made the game not too hard, it should be fun not stressful)
In the inventory, there is a cheating module (if resources are missing)
Spa-gift cards for bondage massages and kinky things should respawn after a while. (A robot will deliver it to the same positions again)
More information on new games I create
I also have a Patreon page in which I use to make posts about new games I create, which may also contain many bondage related things. https://www.patreon.com/Kerni

Install instructions
Just download, unzip and start The exe file from Bound in desire.
(nice people also sometimes read the tips and tricks word/pdf file ^_^)
You maybe want to set the graphical settings once the splash screen pops up because this is a very demanding 3D game.
(mac and Linux versions are untested and unsupported but, I compiled them nevertheless ^_^)
The zip files are still called 0.16, but they contain the versions which is shown in the download title.

Hi Kerni, the Linux port of BiD is still very silent! Absolute no sound, no music, no sfx, no voice. Nothing but silence. Your older games, AATOFL or Milkyway, as Linux ports, works very fine.
Trying to run the BiD Windows version under Linux via Wine/POL is unplayeable. Mouseview/camera does not work.
btw. Milkyway and AATOFL runs also wery fine as Windows Game with Wine/POL in Linux.
I ques BiD has another newer, linux unfriendly, Unity Version?
But. Thanks. Awesome Games! Carry on! Weiter so!
BID was made with unity 2022 so.. yes , it is a different version than my older games.
But as far as i know , it should work (at least no one else reported this bug who played on linux) So... no idea actually since i can not test it myself >_>
And DO NOT forget to read the fine print (like I did 😂) where it says that this download is the newest version "v0.36" even though the file will say "0.16". This download IS the correct version 🤓.
When is the next update coming out and what will be included in it?
The next public version is "planned" to be released at the end of this month. Maybe the coming Sunday or Monday. (please do not pin me down on it tough... i did not do my test run yet >_>)
It will include a little bit more story and naughty stuff xD
Yes, I fixed that one in my development version already xD
Hello! I really enjoy your game. But after searching (for a while), I never figured out where to find the machine to create the bondage gears and the spa cards (By the way, if it is possible to give it as much as you want, I would like to know how please). I hope you can help me because these are two things I really want to try!
PS: Sorry if my message isn't very understandable, I used Google Translate. 😅
Hello there,
The machine who can create bondage devices is in Lucas base. it is the cylindric shaped thing , right next to the entrance to the sleeping room.
The spa cards are all around outside, in different houses., they do get replenished by a drone who re-places them once you have taken them away.
I hope this helps a little bit.
Thanks! Yes, it helped me, but I don't know why the machine doesn't work in my personal save... and in the one already in the game, there are only two devices I can build. Is it possible to unlock more? If so, how? And how can I get handcuffs, gags, etc.?
You need to advance in the story so that the machine works . Press M to show the map and on the right side are the quests , click the very first one to select the main quest and it will mark where you need to go and what to do.
handcuffs gags etc.. they come later , they need story progression (or you can get caughty by any of the patroling gynoids)
I see tysm !
Hello, I tried to install and play the 0.32, after moving my saves files from my old folder to the new one, but there was a crash during the game launching process.
While the window was showing 90% then a small window opened on top and then all got closed together.
After a couple attempts I was able to launch the previous version I had of the game, then I closed it to try again the 0.32...
But then, to my surprise, instead of launching anything, i saw some temp file created in the game folder that soon disappeared along with the executable file !
And the exe file disappeared as well from my other folder !
The executable (from both folder) has been removed and put to quarantaine by AVG, marked as infected by IDP.Generic, let me know what I am supposed to do about it and how I can fix the game.
The game should really not have any viruses inside, but you can take a look into the "player.log" file located under "C:\Users[your user name]\AppData\LocalLow\Kernis none existing company\Bound in desire"
This is the log file and can be opened with a text editor. Have a look inside and scroll wayyyyy down. Maybe there is some explanation on why it crashed (maybe and exception)
But... well i guess you have to redownload the game again, i mean the exe file is gone for... reasons ??
I am kind of afraid that you have a different virus on your system which slowly corrupts exe files (like that one virus on windows 95), but this is just a wild guess since i am here to program a game and not a virus xD
I pulled a copy of the exe file again from the 032 zip , and it worked fine.
Some sites on Internet tell these IDP.Generic may also be false positive, meaning they are safe.
Why is the bot at the warehouse speaking german? That scared me
No need to fear German... because "Es ist doch nur ein spiel."
Well I am German too, so that was quite unexpecting. I don't usually see or hear that, but it is a nice feature
same, it was unexpected though.
extra suggestion: make one-time events like chastity training repeatable
Well , i actually rather want to script it that things-like-this can be done as repeatable events. because there are still many events missing in which the girl with chastity is getting way to aroused, and the player character can make use of it.
But packing this into a repeatable event(s) is the difficult part.
For those of you wondering about SteamDeck compatibility: The Linux version runs just fine. I recommend 1024×640 with automatic scaling and sharpening set to 1. You can also limit the TDP to 9 Watts so your fan doesn't go crazy. The default "WASD" controller template covers almost every button input (except for Map and Ping) and can easily be customised. For those that don't know this yet: If you press and hold the Steam button you can move the mouse cursor with the right trackpad and left click with R2 (useful for first start to setup the Launcher)
PS: Thank you for your great games Kerni!
Never thought that this would be possible ,due to the amount of RAM needed to run the game.
Hi Vinyard, I own a Steam Deck and would love to play Bound in Desire on it, but I have no idea how to set up and install games on Linux; I have zero experience. Would you mind laying out the installation steps, including tips and software to operate the game?
Sure thing.
I hope this works for you. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
Very thoughtful. I tried it this weekend. The game works straight off the Linux OS on Steam Deck (the Linux version), but the loading time is a little long and still a bit laggy. Let me try your process, perhaps it will work much smoothly. Much appreciated.
PS: I forgot to mention that you can bring up the onscreen keyboard by pressing Steam+X in desktop mode.
Suggestion: You should be able to put yourself into the box, milking machine, put on chastity gear and the strap-on, get to keep the bikini from the spa, the cheats should include obtaining both spa gift cards, you should also be able to insert both dildos and control when and how they vibrate, and you should be able to toggle restraints and dildos on the transport hovercraft
I know.. i know >_>
I am working on it , i need to be carefull , since i need to change several events when the player is out in the free roaming and has these things attached. I need to stay consistent and this what takes time. (along with the fact that i need to create a ton of VN events to actually do these things)
I don't know why, but the game doesn't let me access the quicksaves for the end of each update or the cheat device, can someone help me?
That sounds like a very unique bug actually. Is it only the quicksaves ? can you load /save to the quicksave slots in the GUI ?
It kind of sounds like there is something that hinders you to click the upper part of the screen.
I think the loading part is okay, as well as the saving part, but the files just have no files, and if I click on them, then the game freezes at the loading screen
Ahm.. now i am confused, actually.
So… Can you please check if in the main folder (were also the "Bound in desire.exe" is) if there are files generated which are called "SP3D_Save_1.txt" or the like ?
yes, I found them
however, the saves still don't work
Hello, your game is quite good and thank you for providing public releases.
If it's allowed to ask will be transformations added at some point? For example at some point it's mentioned that chest can increase in size when producing milk and devices aren't used regularly. Will be a nice detail if this really happens and maybe NPC comment/react to changes.
Other question, will the game keep being quite linear or will there be in future different paths or different approaches to fulfill tasks. Maybe also random events to increase replay value and making every play through a little different.
Hello there,
The game will stay linear , due to me being the only developer (single developer for all tasks)
The idea with the milk and the increase of the bust size.. yes... i wanted to put this in , but i had no time yet since i would need to add a little bit more machines in to "get" the white gold.
I hope i can put this in at some point actually, but.. uff time will tell >_>
hope this helps a bit.
Hello,
of course your answer helps and it's always good to see when game creator answers on questions, thank you.
It's a reasonable point to keep story linear first to have a finished story/game asap. When story is complete then it would still be possible to add side branches if wanted.
It's just sandbox style games are nice, where choices have effects on player character, npc's or the world. Because that gives good replayability.
Is this coming to Android
I am sorry, but this game is way way way too large + way way way to demanding to fit onto any Android smartphone.
Okay that fine thank you
Is there controller support so I can play this on Steam Deck?
Sorry, no idea.
Movement maybe fine but ,I think you would have problems using the "E" key to start events.
Love it! Can I have a link to your discord please?
The link should be in the game description.

Alright I think I got everything in the game, but the outfit Ivy is wearing in the title card. Is it available on the game?
It is "in the game" but currently not accessible. I plan to use it later for side content.it is called the "Bunny Suit" (in game name) and you could create your own little mini mod to equip it to Kyra... but.... well....
Great game! Really appreciate having a female protagonist
Also with Nori, she's stuck floating on the uper part of the map a little over the lake, there's no way to reach her.
Already fixed my dev version =)
Ad you can actually reset Noris position with the debug tabled in your inventory. (the device with the green screen).
altough... this floating Nori problem really bugs me... i have no idea why she is even there in the first place O.o
yup, that did the trick, thanks!
interesting game, looks like its quite content rich to even for a early build.
do i have to create a new save in version 0.28 if my save was last played on version 0.24
I can not guarantee it, but it should be fine.
if it does not work , then you can also use the save games i saved in the "Developer savegames in case you get stuck" folder.
Привет , очень крутая игра и я рад что она не заброшена ! У меня вопрос есть ли какие ни будь модификации для игры ?) спасибо разработчику за колоссально проделанную работу !
Hello there,
Currently, there is the mini-story-mod editor for the game, but it is very fresh in the game so I presume people just did not have the time to get familiar with the little modding tool I created.
Bug report: if you get grabbed while you're looking at the map, you can't close the map during the sex scene, which is both annoying AND a softlock.
Alright, this should be a quick fix for next weekend , thanks for the heads-up.
Happened to me earlier , opened map got nabbed and couldnt do anything
Fixed in dev version.
Did you know that with a bit a perserverance you can still get out-of-bounds?
Not to mention you can walk around underwater. Maybe add a Damsel "Rescue" drone to return you to a "safe" location should you stray into a dangerous area.
Waarrggrrr....
People really love to break the game >_<
but the drone is... an interesting idea!
simple request for a cosmetic only feture in the wardrope let us chose heel types like flats wedge stileto and ballet hells all they would do is be cosmetic
Not as easy as you may think it is, i need to have time to properly implement the animation override for this one.
(and i need to find a good walk/run animation with heels)
yk the female robot models in your other games have a heeled walk animation (the ones that look like they have wedge heels)
is the Relay station the First mission Building? I want to find thet Blue Box but so far cannot find it(maybe i'm just a Bit dense).
Question what is the turn around on the Next Update. (well on all( what is the time frame your trying for))
I usually create a public build every 4 months. At least that is what i am aiming for.
Thank you for answering so Quickly
Very Nice tho If the PC was Male it would be a Bit more Fun. After all with those Horny & Submissive Women One Male would love them all and Have them submit to Him.
You can also play my older game Milky ways or AATOFL , There you have a male protagonist. ( i wanted to experiment with this one)
Yea I have Dl'ed them with in the last 2 days tried AATOFL about 6-9 Months ago will try it again
System requirements please
Well, i would say 8 gb of ram 8 Gb Vram and a quad core CPU.
I guess this can be seen as the minimum to run it somewhat decently.
I just found this awesome game. May I join your discord, please?
Sure.
This link will be active for 7 days (says discord)
https://discord.gg/fP6rR495
Any chance of an updated discord link? Game looks awesome, and I'd love to join, but that link is expired.
uff.. since it is a smol discord server the invite link changes and it is not static.
so.. i can give you another one (which will expire in 7 days.. i think)

ıI have a problem with the build
my alt is broken soo how can ı change the controls for the build
Ahh.. oh dear...
Unfortunately , the alt key (i presume you wanted to place a machine in the placement area of the game) is hard coded >_<
The story is coming along nicely! I am guessing that the next story step would be to find and extract the third human (Sorry I forgot her name) trapped here?
May I ask what would happen after getting saving these people? Are there more stories and side content planned? Of course I am asking purely out of curiosity, and it's alright if there is not much you can share now.
Yes , the game is lacking in side content actually. That would be my next focus, i already gathered some ideas from my people and now i need to figure out what works and what does not work.
Great to hear! I did feel a need for sandboxing content when playing the latest build. Thanks for the reply and looking forward to more to come!
I think you are talking about Dr Lillian Ongaster. She has not been found. Of course I could be wrong 😄.
You are right Merlin , she is still trapped somewhere in the facility. ^_^
Hi, just two questions:
First, there is that transport-drone from the seventh picture (directly besides the install instructions). While I found the hill with it, there was no way to activate or interact with it, so is there a way or is it planned for a future update?
Second, will it become possible to reactivates the transporters restrains and toy?
Hello there,
So.. let me answer your questions :)
First thing , the drone you see in the 7th picture is to bring Kyra back to Lucas base after she got caught by the other drones too many times.
(fully restrained and then after a second time they caught you in full gear , they will bring her back with this device.)
Second, Yes , the idea is still on my mind. Once Kyra is accepting her fate "more" i will make it an option xD
hope this helps a bit.
Thanks for the answer. I never get caught a second time after in full gear, thinking that it would be the same as the first time in full gear.
And I’ll look forward to later releases, I think if they like the ones till now, they all will bring fun new things to play with.
Also could you mabye do if the ai get kinky enough they build another model that is a dominatrix futa
Could you add like in the custscenes I drag option where you can drag all around to see the scene from different angles because the option we have now can cut out most of the scene and I cant see the character properly
Hello there,
I usually use the orbit camera for many sex scenes, can you please be more specific which scene you're referring to ?
All the ones I have had so far have just had two buttons for up close and far away and whenever I try to drag my mouse to move the camera it doesn't move is there a certain setting I have to press to activate it.
Yes, when the two buttons appear, that means the upper button is to focus on the breasts and the lower button focuses on the hips.
With the mousewheel you can zoom in and out in such situation and when you press the right mouse button you should be able to orbit around.
Hi,
I tried all three of your games here and I really like them so far.
The problem is, it's really difficult for me to play the games because there is no invert-option for the vertical mouse movement.
Is there a workaround (config-files or reg-edit)? If not, can you add this option, ideally also for your other two games?
Hello there,
I am sorry, but people who want to play with inverted mouse are getting very rare these days. I will see if i can find a solution for this in BID. I hope i can find something in the controller settings in the editor , but i can not promise anything.
The other two games (AATOFL and MW) i rather not touch anymore, since i consider them finished and i need to concentrate on BID now.
(Maybe you can find an external tool to make the mouse inverted ?? i have actually no idea if this could work)
Thank you for your reply.
I know I'm probably in the minority, but after 30 years of inverted gaming, I would rather not try to adapt to non-inverted ;).
If you can find a solution for BID, I would appreciate that very much.
Tools would work, but they also reverse the mouse curser movement in the menu :/.
I read somewhere that it can be configured in the unity-editor. Also, I found registry-entries of other Unity-games (ex. Huuma Mina or Cinderella Escape 2), where I was able to reverse the vertical movement. Sadly, your games does not have such entries.
But, I'm looking forward to any news on this topic. Thanks again.
Would it be enough for you if i can somehow invert the vertical axis only in the third person view ?
Maybe this is an easy thing with the third person controller i am using.. not sure.. >_<
Is there even a first person gameplay? If I can play everything in third person, that's absolutly fine with me. :)
I just finished by first playthrough of Milky Ways. To make it playable for me, I used InvertMouse v1.0.5 https://github.com/oleg-st/InvertMouse/releases/tag/1.0.5 which, in turn, requires either the RawAccel driver v1.60 (later releases unsupported/untested) https://github.com/RawAccelOfficial/rawaccel/releases/tag/v1.6.0 or Interception (latest release was way back in 2017) https://github.com/oblitum/Interception
It's a bit clunky but works well enough (I have the option enabled where it only inverts when the mouse cursor is hidden, but there's a bit of lag time in switchover from one mode to the other.)
I read somewhere that enabling y-axis inversion was fairly simple with Unity, but I'm nowhere near familiar enough to know how true that is.
Always loved the two older games, great to see one where you play as the sub!
Are there any plans for more wrist restraints? The tour right now uses a armbinder that is not available outside of the quest, wish we could equip that outside of the one place, right now there is just the handcuffs.
Please have patience ,
I will try to build in all the wearable things for generic usage. But since i only work on the weekend on this, i need to keep a balance of generic things (sidestorys) and the main story.
(>_<)
Sorry, didn't mean to rush you with things. You've given us two complete free games already, wouldn't be very nice to give you the "More restraints now!" sentiment. Please go at your own pace, and thanks for all the work!
UI is small Hi-Res screens (mine is 2880x1800)
Jep, i already fixed this in my developer version. (not for all menus but the most important ones)
Awsome game. Lack sound (maybe because I’m on linux), and REBINDABLE KEYS for non qwerty support. No ! Changing keyboard layout doesn’t work.
Oh dear.. yes.. i have to do this at one point. maybe at the end of the development , when every minigame is implemented.
Just finished Milky Ways, and it has a menu to reconfigure keys before loading the game. I used the windows version btw (with proton) this time.
