Leather & Madness
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
"Leather and Madness" is a visual novel. You play as a young gay man who decides to embrace his sexuality and explore the world of leather clubs. He soon discovers a mysterious and unsettling presence within the club, which seems to be linked to the ancient and otherworldly entity known as Cthulhu.
As you navigate the club scene, you'll meet a variety of different men, each with their own unique personalities and backgrounds. Some will be friendly and welcoming, while others will be more guarded or even outright hostile. As you get to know these men and form romantic connections with them, you'll also begin to uncover the secrets lurking within the club.
Strange occurrences will become more and more frequent as you progress through the game, and it becomes clear that something dark and dangerous is at play. You'll need to use your wits and your charm to investigate the mysteries of the club and unravel the truth behind the sinister presence that haunts it.
Along the way, you'll also need to balance your personal life with your new experiences in the leather club. You'll need to navigate the challenges of dating and maintaining relationships while also keeping your newfound lifestyle a secret from those who might judge or harm you for it.
Will you be able to solve the mysteries of the leather club and find true love in the process? Or will the dark powers that lurk within the club consume you and everyone you care about? The choice is yours in "Leather and Madness."

Hello! First of all, I would like to say that the game and the story are AMAZING! Second- Is it normal to have Blake two times at the library? Like he is the one coming to help me save Blake, while I'm trying to get Antonio to be helped.
No, it's not normal, but it seems that you are not the only one getting this result. I've checked the code, and I'm not sure why it happened. I'll keep investigating until I find a solution to that.
Thank you for making the mini-guide!
And, I just realized, I know of the perfect site where I can share your game!
I hope you are doing well, and, again, thank you so much for making this game!
Iä! Iä!

Thanks for your support!!!!!
Has anyone obtained antonio's perfect ending? For some reason, I keep getting his good ending, despite following the guide. I have tried with 0 madness & low (only 1 time tentacle sex) madness.
There's someone that got all the CGs so it's possible to get them all :) I've updated the guide with a summary of the events that give romance levels to each character and where do you get the Madness.
Falling in the temptation in the dreamworld helps a lot to get the perfect ending but it can be reached without it.
I've followed the guide and still haven't obtained Antonio's perfect ending. I'm sure my madness is low though.
This is my saved file. I should be able to get his perfect ending no? I manage to get all scenes except Warehouse one (cause i choose Church)
With that image I'm not able to guess if your romance level is good enough or not. Please check the updated guide. It has a section about romance levels. One of the most important ones is falling in the temptation in the dream world. In the case of Antonio is also important to save Mateo.
Failling in the temptation means the 2nd option from this one right?
I haved saved Mateo as well. I don't know what romance level i am missing from antonio.
Yes.
Can you tell me the meteor password of his father's birthday and number? I have been wrong all the time.
Download the guide. It tells u the password
Thank you, I have found the password.
Antonio's perfect ending is not triggered, instead it triggers bad ending cthuhlu unleashed. Is it a bug?
I thought battle is over, and then
this message pops up telling me battle is ongoing again...
I'll check it but I know that some people got the Antonio's perfect ending. Thanks for the images, it will help!
Found the problem! I introduced a typo in the last release. Fixed it. I'll build the game and upload it.
Thanks for the fast response. Do i need to download apk again to update it? Or is it auto-update?
I'm preparing the update, haven't upload it yet. It takes me around 2 hours for each platform :'(
Released already
Game is wonderful. There is some points that needs attending.
I've played almost every route (cant find perfect routes). Even with guide and with all my different attempts, I can't trigger perfect. Probably my madness gets high. Cant find a way to keep it low, maybe its a bug? Guide says when your madness gets high there is a green aura. All green aura I saw happens when there is a battle scene, or maybe I'm missing some things.
Guide needs to get improved. Dev probably tried giving les spoilers, but that's not the point of guide. Can't say which my actions gets my madness high? There is some other problems too but my main focus is "I can't trigger perfect ending in 20 gameplay hour"
Even I give all my fragments in library there is always 1 of my companions gets kidnapped.
And in chris' route the phone call says chris has kidnapped, but when I go to library, chris is my companion
despite all this game is very good. easy to play (maybe skipping could be more fluent and day screens could be skipped), hot characters, all kind of different scenes, high scene counts..... Well done.
Edit: Maybe a madness counter or sth like that make game and/or guide more understandable.If you want to trigger perfect ending you have to below ... madness etc. And maybe in guide there is a section which explains which actions get your madness higher by how many points etc.
Hi!
First of all, thank you for your comments.
There have been many users that have found the perfect endings already, so it's not bugged. The people that have sent me their save games to check if there was a problem, I've seen that the main problem was not the madness level, it was the romance level. One of the most common errors I've read until now is not falling in the temptation during one of the nights (I'll not say anything else to prevent spoilers). Otherwise, in the guide are clues about which things the different characters like.
The guide has been an add-on that I had no planned. My time is very limited, and I preferred the users made the guide themselves. But as I did the rework of all the graphics in the game, I took some time to make a very basic guide.
About the bugs:
- I'll check what you say about giving all your fragments.
-About the Chris appearing about he is the kidnapped one, I'm checking it already as it happened to another player at least too. In theory, it checks that's not possible but.... I suppose I made a mistake.
Finally. The madness problem should not be a big problem. There's a big margin for it. You should trigger only Madness endings if you try to search actively for madness events.
Something new I'm testing. Hope you like it.

Like the animation, add some life to all the characters. Also wondering what ai generator you using to make those hot men.
I'm using stable diffusion with my own trained loras. I've spent a lot of time with the model trainings to get coherent results with good quality.
I like the animation, but, seriously, it looks like his pants are going to pop!
And, that tight? His c*ck and b*lls must be in agony!

Hahahahaha :D In the realm of Cthulhu there's no place for realism :D Porn and tentacles rules!
The "return" button under setting doesn't help you to quit the menu (only ESC button works). Pressing return button twice makes the entire game unclickable, and ESC will not work anymore after that.
Also found out some odd display during the conversation with the police in front of blake's mansion.
Thanks for the comment. I will check it!
I've just tested the 'return' button both in game and in title in Windows release and it's working for me. Are you using the windows version or any other one?
Does anyone have the same problem?
Hi, i'm using windows version, maybe the problem only exist on my pc.
I also came across 1 more script error (i.e dialogue display [player] instead of name) while i was playing through the game, will compile all together if i encounter more during the gameplay and send it you if you don't mind.
Anyway, overall gameplay, script writing and timing of BGM is really good. Also thank you for providing pdf guide! It makes unlocking the scene so much manageable, I appreciate it!
Thank you very much for your reports. I've corrected previous one.
It's a problem not having testers because when you read again and again a text you know you start ignoring those kind of bugs. So thank you very much.
Would there be a 32.bit version for PC?
I don't think so. Computers market moved to 64 bit around mid 2000. Compiling a version of the game takes me around 2 hours and a half and I don't think there are so many users that have a PC that does not support 64 bits. Checking the download statistics I'm doubting if I would publish mac or linux versions even. Less than the 5% of the download are from those systems.
After funeral which Blake in the tree.. but it is not working. I did trying click.
I'll check it
I've updated the windows version with the fix. I'll upload the other ones as soon as they get compiled.
Trying to install the APK on the Galaxy S24 Ultra with latest software. I'm getting this message:
"App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone."
Is there a fix for this?
I'm sorry but I can't give you support with this topic. I have a Oppo phone and a generic tablet and the APK works in both. I can't test your specific phone. Did you enable external APKs? Usually you need to enable the permission to install apps that do not come from the shop.
Does anyone by here have the same phone and could help Dantdanielson?
I already enabled those settings on my phone, which is why I'm confused. I've installed quite a few APKs since I got my phone a month ago. In fact, just before I attempted to install this APK, I installed the Lustful Desires APK without issue.
Do you know if your Oppo phone is on Android 14? I've been looking into the issue a bit and it seems to relate to Android 14 not being compatible with apps that are targeted for older devices. Also, do you know if the game is 32-bit or 64-bit? From what I've read this might also make a difference.
My Android is 14, yes, and the application is 32-bit. Teorically 64 bit should support 32 bit based APKs
After looking into it a bit more, it seems that none of the phones in the Galaxy S24 lineup support 32-bit apps. Apparently its some new requirement from Google. I guess I'll just run it on my laptop, thanks for replying,
I really like this game but have become very frustrated with the Starseed fight. I have the Book of Eibon but the game does not acknowledge it. I go to the mental/physical fight but it keeps telling my I've blocked the mental part but was not able to weaken him.
Any ideas? Thank you!
The book of Eibon is used only in a specific place, not during the combat against the Starseed.
What I recommend you is trying to go balanced between red and green to prevent the symbols start changing the position faster. The more you click the faster they go.
You will need 7 green and 7 red.
If you the text says you are usign the Elder Sign you will only need 15 attack hits.
Okay, thank you so much for replying and for your help!
I'm really enjoying the game. I'm especially getting a kick on how characters resemble some pretty hot entertainers. Antonio is a dead ringer for Henry Cavill, Blake looks like Chris Hemsworth, Chris gave me some Kanye West vibes and [redacted for spoilers] looks like Russell Crowe.
Am I right so far? :D
You (player) look like Hugh Jackson.
Elias... I know who but I don't remember his names... one cast of True Blood or Magic Mike.
I don't know who is Darius! :)
Jackman.... Jackman ;)
You have some matches :)
fantastic game!
thank you for the hard work!
Thank you very much!!!
THIS MESSAGE COULD CONTAIN SPOILER.
I'm going for the perfect ending and I have all 5 fragments with low madness, but it triggers the bad ending.
If I follow the guide, it triggers the dialogues that i think that come from the perfect ending, but it seems that, at some point, it triggers also the dialogues of the bad ending and I can't reach the perfect ending because always shows the bad one. Am I doing something wrong? or is because of a bug?
(I'm romancing Antonio and using Windows version if that info helps).
Could you send me by email to smaugpuppy@gmail.com your savegame please? Or if not possible explain me which decisions are you taking? Might be your romance level is not high enough
Sent. I've shared you the data folder just in case. The save game that has the problem is number 60.
Great. I will check it as soon as I return from my work trip
I’m getting the same issue as well. I got all the fragments right before the finale but can’t seem to get the perfect endings (no madness). Tried with both Antonio and Elias. Both times Cthulhu gets banished but then comes back and the ending becomes Cthulhu Unleashed
Yesteday I did a test myself with Antonio's route and I got the perfect ending without problem. Could you send your savegame to smaugpuppy@gmail.com so I can check it please?
the game freezes whne you at the cabin and choose the examine the symbols further. i cant do anything after that. like the the text wont move on and the backgrounds screen is black
Which platform are you using to play the game?
windows
I will double check it although I did all the test under windows. I'll let you know if I find anything.
I've checked it and I can make it work. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I do, too. And I run into it everytime I try
Mmm I suppose the problem is related to the video format and the codes on your computers. But is weird because it's in the same format that the videos used when a day starts.
In any case I will upload a patch where you can skip the video so you can continue the adventure.
(In any case you don't need to investigate the symbols a second time until you have found a paper and a watch and used them. Chec the guide)
I've upload a patch to skip the video and also a new version of the video to check if it works for you now.
thank you. will i loose my save is dowload the new patch
Teorically no. But I can't be sure. In any case you should have an autosave at the beginning of the forest.
so the video still doesnt work. i didnt want to skip it but what am i missing if i do skip.
the book burning. Nothing important.
I seem to be stuck on a loop while exploring the theater.
I've gone through the prop room, and can go to the back stage. When I get to the main stage, the options "return to seating area" and "explore back stage" both sends me to the backstage....
I'm glad someone have found the theater route, it's not easy :)
I've checked it and you are right, There's a typo in that section. I will upload a new version with the patch. In any case you should be able to finish the theater section taking the mask the first time you see it.
I've just uploaded the patch. It should solve your problem.
This is one of the best nsfw games ( it masterfully incorporates leather tentacles monsters and hot guy well ). And i've seen a lot of them. Most of them are entirely about werewolves, which in my opinion has become a cliche. So this game is a new breeze of fresh air in this genre.
Cgs look fantastic, they needed to be polished and now they do look consistent and great 🥴
One advice - players definitly need a guide to complete different endings, unlock all sex scenes. Not necessarily a huge project or app, even one excel or word file would be good enough. As long as it is detailed. It will also highlight the endings or scenes that are harder to find or just, we were not lucky to find in our runs.
Alternative would be a discord channel or some other place. But it requires a lot more effort and idk if it is worth it.
Overall, thank you !
In the library, i can't get to the door until 1:30 and it is always too late. Idk what i'm doing wrong or how to complete that part of the game successfully. Any detailed explanations?
Not all the investigations in the library allow you to discover things about the ruins. Some of them make you lose time. Check the texts when you visit one of the options. Going directly to dangerous places is not always the best idea. Sometimes finding additional informations make things easier.
1:30 is enough time. Once you enter the hidden door, in the next area just choose the topmost option, and then ''try to solve with the information you have'' twice. You'll be able to make it in time if you go slow across the trapped path, ignore the green monster, and ignore the spiders.
hey that's one of the solutions :) but there are others. Investigating more in the library also allows you to open the door directly and lowering the chances of triggering a trap even if you go fast :)
Well my initial idea was that players create the guide and helping them if they have questions. I don't know what I will do if nothing appears. Might be a list of the scenes with the numbers of cgs on it.... I don't know.
yea a guide would be really helpfull since there are still scenes i dd not managed to find and at this point i'm just replaying it over and still can't locate where there are
You have a guide in the downloads :)
I was wondering.. is there a path to side with the cult from the beginning? There are sort of hints to that, but I couldn't figure out how.
No, sorry. But there are two endings where.......
Amazing amount of variability!
Thank you very much!!!!!
How did you make these more or less consistent characters in txt2img generations? Some sort of ControlNet in Stable Diffusion? Do you mind sharing details on what model you used for that?
Basically I've trained my own loras for each character and piece of clothe. Use prompts with character turns and control net to get the characters in many positions to train the characters and then train the pieces of clothing separatelly in other loras. Mix them and you get the character consistency. So the secret is control net + loras + adetailer + char turnaround.
Wow, that's quite a workflow! SD1.5 was the base model? What tools did you use for training? Would be cool, if you could make a whole article about that)
Search for Aitrepreneur in YouTube
I don't understand how the last fight work, when you need to choose between Smiling, Serious and Angry options. The outcome each time seems to be random? How do I choose between those "three paths" mentioned before?
I think that this was replied on another comment. It's not fully random. Just check Malachi's face to know what option you should choose. And believe me... that's not the final fight :)
Hey Puppydragon, really love the game and am excited to play the new version! Unfortunately, when I try to launch this version, it starts to load then crashes. IDK what its doing, as I didn't have any issues with the previous builds. Any ideas?
EDIT: OK, got it to work! Had to unpack the latest version separately, rather then override the previous build.
Perfect. It's good to know that can be a solutions if other people have problems. Thanks!
Hi puppydragon I really loved your game and I am playing it right now I am now in the scene of Mateo and speaking with the guys in the club but then the game becomes stuck and unclickable I am stuck in this dialogue scene here is a screenshot hope you can do something to fix this problem I already encountered this problem and this is the second time I got stuck in this unclickable dialogue scene again here is the image where I got stuck tried clicking everything but it still doesn't move on to the next dialogue scene I am playing your game on my Android phone that's all hope you can do something about this dialogue stuck problem so that others who play your game don't get to encounter this problem
I'll check it. I can imagine by the picture that one of the characters is "missing" and the other one hates you, I'm I right?
When I first started to play I pick the christ path first is that the reason why one character is missing?
There are no paths in this game as in other games. You can jump from a character to another one taking decisions. If there's a missing character means that something happened in the story to make that character disappear.
I think I've found the problem. I'll try to upload the patch between today and tomorrow.
I've upload a new version. Let's hope this solves your problem.
Yup the new version solves my scene stuck problem thanks for the quick solution I will report again if I encounter another bugs or any kind of problem
Weee. I'm glad it worked :) And sure, if you find any problem feel free to contact me.
Any discord channels or guides for this game?
Not on my side, sorry.
this looks AI generated...
All the images are AI generated and retouched afterwards. I'm not hiding it. I've said it since the first day.
Awesome game you have here! However, for the latest windows version, it doesn't seem to load up. It keeps crashing :( .
It seems to happen when I try to replace the files into the older version's folder. But, if we start a new folder it works!
I've done many changes replacing the structure of the game because it has got too big and the resource loading was getting slow. That's why probably having the files over old versions made the system crash. The save files should work still.
Hi, im enjoying the game so far but i cant seem to get through the library with enough time to dave blake, please help me save my man
Let's see if someone helps you. There are several ways to do it. If I give the solutions would be too easy :)
What I can do is giving you a clue. Some times getting more information that the minimum necessary make things easier.
Someone has already guessed the password for the vault. Can you help me? I tried to match the month, date, and meteor count with your prompt, but I still can't guess?
That's something I've replied already ;) Check the comments.
I looked at the prompt you mentioned in the comment, but I still can't guess the password
If you have the birthday date and the number of meteorites you have to introduce them and then push the # button that is the one to introduce the code. DDMMYYXX#
Have you tried that?
Yes, I tried, but the password was incorrect

hi, do u have patreon then we can support u?
realy love your game
Hi! No, I'm not using Patreon because I think I would get the pressure of publishing things only to compensate the patreons. I'm doing this for fun and not for money :) I don't know, may be when I finish the game I'll open the donation option here. I'm not thinking much on that. Anyways thank you very very much!
I played this back when it first came out, and thought it would get maybe one update then be abaondoned. But I come back now and it's nearly a full fledged game! I can't believe how much content got churned out in so short a span, that's truly impressive. And after playing through, what I reallly enjoy is that there are so many different routes; that the choices you make actually do change the outcome. Great game, I can't wait to see the final!
Thank you very much for your comments. I'm glad you like the game.
I try to do my best to have a devent game. I'm doing this alone and sometimes I think I'm not releasing content as fast as I should. The last chapter will take me some time, but believe me, I'm not planning to abandon it.
Do you hav any tips for the "right amount of balance between attack and defense" i always lost, or I don't have the right amount of defense or of attack. I already tried ~ten times and nothing
For defeating the wave with attack and defense you need at least 7 of each color.
Hi, and thanks for the response.
In one patch, i was able to defeat him. I forgeted to mention this, but after my post, i tried to see different outcomes and in another with the same pattern of fight, more than 7 of each color indeed worked. But, in the previous patch, even with more than 7 of each color or exactly 7 of each color, it doens't work (this patch the mc uses the artifact to fight back)
I don't remember if I made it easier to adapt it to all the devices. In Android it's easier to tap than on computer.
If it works now, then it's good :)
May I ask how to unlock Antonio's 9th CG?
He must be your companion when you visit the public library.
Thank you for the reply.
how to unlock blake's 8th cg?
Let him die :)
thank you
Is there a difference in versions between the android download and windows download? I see for android is says 13 and for windows it says 15, so does windows have more content?
No there isn't. You can see the real version of the game on the menu when you start playing. Windows has a higher version because I had to do some patches to correct a problem.
The final Q&A on the fifth day was really disorganized. It looked like the sixth day had already been updated, but it was always the end of the game. I really like this game. Can you give me a hint?
The clue is on Malaki's face. Just check his face to know which answer you should choose.
Thank you very much。
I have also encountered this problem……
I have tried to make malachi smiling, pissing-off, or pouting, but it seems none of them work……
Just check the Malachi's face and choose the same mood he shows.
Oh, I see.
THANKS~
You are welcome ;)
So SAD that i didn't find this game until yesterday!!!
And look how incredible it is !!
Why didn't I notice it earlier?
Yesterday I have stayed up all night just for clearing Blake line and felt it soooooo interesting and worth playing!
Now I am trying the other questlines, expecting more fore and fun.
And I have recommended it to my friends,.
However, most of them are not really a good English reader. So……it might not get you more supporters or fans in a short time, I'm afraid.
Sorry……
I appreciate your work and can't wait to enjoy more new contents and stories.
Deeply thank you for providing such a nice game for us players.
Thank you very much for your comment. I appreciate it very much.
Think that you can't see all the content from a specific character so you can try many things with Blake if you like him ;)
Let me know anything you miss or you would like to see :) that helps me to develop the game
I have just heard of the terrifying news about Unity.
Will it cause you any trouble?
Hi. Teorically it won't affect me as it affects only if you get 200.000 $ of revenue in a year and 120.000 installs. As my game is free they shouldn't charge me. My plan is finishing the game so do not worry . At least not right now.
ANOTHER update already?!
*** THANKS ***
Well.... It took more time than I suspected hahahaha. So I'm glad you think it's not been so much time.
I have the feeling next one will take a bit more time as it's related to the last piece of the Necronomicon and all the things related to the gran finale.
I hope you like it!!!!!!!!
And of course, thank you very much for your comment.
I dislike bothering you like this, but what is the version number of the current release? I looked at the data of the various parts of the game and opened the game itself, but cannot find this.
It's just I'm a pack rat and I keep the previous compressed versions and I don't know how to identify the number of this version.
THANKS.
*
Ouch...... I haven't been updating the version numbers as I do the releases by day / chapter . So this is day 5 it should be 0.5. Sorry! I'll try to upload the game version next time.
I had some earlier release as v0.7 and v.07.1 so something is off somewhere. I'll guess and change them to 0.3 and 0.3.1. This might not seem that important, but I had one creator here (and on Pateron) who had around 24(!) game development releases he'd put out -- but he kept changing how he named them (and they were of the type where you had to add the new files into and over the folder with the previous game version files) and it got REALLY confusing fast; plus he had made 8-10 mini-games(!) and sometimes he would do releases for two games in one file! I asked him (nicely!) if he could make a list so I could be sure I had all his games *and* in the right order and he kindly did, which was a big, big help to me (and I suspect to others who were new to his games, like I was.) ### The main reason I ask this is I want to be sure I have the most recent game dev file when I play. ### THANKS AGAIN.
I'll try to set the releases with the right number from now on. What I'll basically do will be to set up the minor version for the number of the last release day and then a subversion with the last update version. So should be 0.Day.Update
In this case the last release would have been 0.5.0 although I've done a couple of updates already :)
Hi, I like this game a lot and look forward for each update. Unfortunately , the trasition between the days is not working anymore. It might be a bug. At least for the windows version.
You're doing great!
I'll check it and upload a new version. Thanks!!!!!
I've found the problem. I'm building the new versions and I'll upload them.
Wow, you're fast. Thank you for caring.
New windows version is uploaded. I'm preparing the other ones.
