Who is behind this masterpiece? Dirty Secret Studio is a five-person team operating out of Berlin and Buenos Aires. Known for their "no holds barred" approach to mature themes, they have built a reputation on:
Their commitment to Live in Corruption is singular. Unlike studios that juggle three projects at once, Dirty Secret Studio has poured every resource into v180, and it shows. The game’s script alone is over 850,000 words—roughly the length of War and Peace twice over.
Objective: You play as a male protagonist living in a house with several female tenants/family members. Your goal is to corrupt them, manage your finances, and uncover the story behind your father's legacy.
The Main Loop:
If earlier releases leaned more toward accessible darkwave or novelist songwriting, v180 marks a sharper turn toward noise and experimental production. Fans seeking the band’s poppier side may be challenged, while listeners who admired their moodier experiments will likely view v180 as maturation.
The keyword "best" is subjective, but in the context of Live in Corruption v180, it is earned. Here is what Dirty Secret Studio rolled out in this monumental update:
The most requested feature for years was a satisfying final act. Version 180 delivers the "Archon’s Descent" — a 6-hour narrative arc where your corruption level determines which faction (the Inquisition, the Syndicate, or the Eldritch Choir) you betray or serve. This is where v180 earns its "best" title, offering three drastically different conclusions, each with stunning animated cinematics.
