Maple's Secret

Pet him. Don't get caught.
Maple has his room to himself tonight, and the door does not lock. MAPLE'S SECRET is a short, suggestive clicker game about one thing: keeping your hands on a 22 year old kemono who is very much enjoying it, while the rest of the house keeps coming by to make sure everything is in order. Every caress is worth something. Every caress is also what gets you caught.

He has a rhythm. Find it.
Petting him is not a mashing contest. Go too fast and you are rushing him, go too slow and he cools right off. Settle into his pace and he answers you, melts into it.


Hands off when the door moves
You hear it before you see it. The door sits ajar, the room goes quiet, and you have a few seconds to pull your hands back. Then it swings open and somebody is looking straight in, touch him now and the night ends right there. So go check the door yourself. Throw a sock to slam it shut. Nail another board on. Bolt it, and hope whoever is out there gives up and walks away.

That is the whole game: Maple warms up while you are petting him, and that door punishes you for exactly that. And if you are getting away with too much, something starts moving under the desk.


Twenty-two ways to get away with it
Every level deals you three cards and you keep one. Hands that pull back on their own the instant the door moves. Hands that keep going without you. A door that creaks longer. Three socks. A night where everything pays double and everyone comes around twice as eager. Don't like your three? Reroll them. New cards keep showing up the deeper you get, so no two nights play the same.


Game content:
One long night - Keep Maple on his rhythm for as long as you can. Rush him, stall, or get caught, and the night is over.

12 minigames - What it costs to talk your way out of that door. 

22 upgrades - Dealt three at a time, one per level, and more of them unlock the further you get.

Two ways to lose - Somebody catches you, or he loses interest in you. Both are your fault.

Adaptive soundtrack - The music follows the night: it changes as you level, and tightens while that door creeps open.
