About The Better Deal – Part I
Riley Ito is a former soldier struggling to support her brother after leaving the military, and when a shadowy recruiter offers her a place on an elite team guarding a scientist at a covert lab, she has little choice but to accept. The Better Deal is an adult visual novel that balances its espionage premise with relationship-building and intimate scenes across multiple love interests. The game adapts content to your preferences as you play, screening out material that doesn't match your interests, and lets you shape Riley's sexual history and personality through your early choices.
The story branches substantially depending on which team member you pursue and whether Riley starts inexperienced or with prior relationships. College Kings 2, Episode 1 shares this structure of romantic routes layered over a central plot, though The Better Deal leans harder into dramatic stakes and military framing. Choices with your teammates unlock trust that affects outcomes, and the game promises meaningful variation rather than random or arbitrary endings.
The current version is v0.8b across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with full support for eight languages including French, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. This is the first part of a larger story, so it ends mid-arc; expect additional character routes and endings in future updates.

Characters:
Riley Ito
Riley is the main heroine of the novel. She is a tough woman with a charming appearance and Asian facial features inherited from her mother. At 26 years old, she has a perfect athletic physique. Although she isn’t aware of it, her genitalia forms a nice camel toe with common panties or tight clothes. Raised strictly by her general father, she has become independent and responsible. The need to care for her younger brother led her to leave her military career, which put her in a difficult financial situation. When an opportunity arose, Riley was ready to risk her life to climb out of this desperate financial hole.
Terrence Black
Terrence is a top-notch soldier and an excellent leader. More than once, he successfully completed his mission and brought his team out of hell unharmed. Before leaving the army, Riley served in the same unit with Terrence. He had certain feelings for her, which, it seems, still haven’t faded away.
Desmond Page
Desmond is about 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and is just a mountain of muscle. The combination of raw strength and a fun-loving, goofy personality attracts women. And I must say, he’s far from the modest type. The only thing that holds as big a place in his heart as women is guns. Desmond is a heavy weapon specialist.
Jack Anderson
Jack is a good guy with a complicated past. While in the army, he met the wrong woman, and she left a deep scar on his heart. Time has managed to patch up the wound, but only the right woman can truly heal it.
Samantha "Sunny" Henessy
Sunny recently turned 21. Despite growing up in an orphanage, she somehow managed to learn computers to the level of a top-notch hacker. Only the carelessness typical of someone so young led to the FBI getting her on their radar.
Sunny loves role-playing games, spends all her free time at the beach, and, as she recently discovered, she is much more attracted to women than to men.
Melissa Cambrington
Melissa is the kind of person you can never figure out. There’s something unsettling about her, yet there’s also a magnetic quality that keeps you hooked. She can drive you insane in an instant, make you want to strangle her. And the next moment, you might find yourself at her feet, obeying her like a puppy.
Your adventure awaits! The game is ready – dive in and start playing now!
Version History
v1.0a Latest
v1.0a
The Better Deal is complete!
After all the months of writing, rendering, animating, testing, fixing bugs, adding missing scenes, polishing routes, and putting everything together, the full story is finally finished.
And it turned out to be quite a big game.
The final version contains:
More than 8,200 images Around 600 animations 54 gallery entries 38 achievements
And there are 24 main ways to finish the game — counting only the good endings!
So depending on the choices you make and the routes you explore, there is a lot of content to discover.
The game also includes a walkthrough directly in the main menu, but there is one small catch: it only becomes available after your first completed playthrough.
So the first time, you’ll have to find your own way through the story.
I’ve also updated parts of the interface and made the final version feel a little more polished.
That said, I’m not completely done touching the game.
I still plan to add a few additional renders requested by Nev, the writer of The Better Deal, and I may improve several animations, tweak a few small features, and polish some of the older translations.
But those are finishing touches.
The story itself is complete.
And speaking of translations — this is another thing I’m very happy about.
The translation quality has been significantly improved, and the complete game is now fully available in 10 languages:
Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Ukrainian.
v0.8b
The update contains some bug fixes, fixed typos and translations.
v0.8a
This update covers Chapter 3 — the climax of the story. While the earlier parts of the game focused on determining the main heroine’s love interest, here you’ll be making choices between life and death. And of course, all your previous decisions still have a major impact on how the story unfolds.
The update adds 1,657 images, 34 animations, 5 music tracks, and 34 sound effects. In terms of content volume, it’s roughly equal to the very first release of the game (the one on Steam). However, because the story branches extensively, each individual path won’t be very long — which I hope is clear.
This update includes all the bad endings. If you manage to complete this chapter, everything ahead will be only good endings, plus one or two “gray” ones.
v0.7a
Detailed Changelog 0.7a and teasers are here.
The Better Deal has been updated to version 0.7a, and oh boy, it’s a big one. No, seriously. The game has more than doubled in size since the last release. We went from 1,762 images to a whopping 3,884, and animations? They didn’t just increase—they quadrupled, from 86 to 336! That’s a whole lotta movement.
The story now takes us all the way to the moment where Riley finally chooses her love interest. And let’s just say… things heat up fast. This update is packed with new spicy scenes across all routes—whatever your preferences, there’s something for you! We’ve expanded on everything add added some new type of content:
Defloration
Exhibitionism
Foot fetish
Titsjob
Pet’s Play
Vaginal & Anal fisting
Spanking
Rimming (yep, we went there—but don’t worry, all extreme content is still fully avoidable)
As always, your choices really matter. Whether you’re walking the Straight or Pure Lesbian path, keeping things Vanilla, exploring Riley-Mistress or Riley-Submissive dynamics, or deciding between Virgin or Non-Virgin Riley, Demure or Slutty, or even the Anal-only Riley path for true connoisseurs—it all affects what you see. Your Riley, your rules.
Sound update? Oh yes.
We’ve gone from 150 sounds to 368, plus new music tracks and a fresh theme for Sunny. Turn those speakers on!
Gallery Expanded
We took the gallery from 12 entries to 30—again, more than doubled. More art, more memories, more everything.
UI Improvements & Hints
Inspired by Beauty and the Thug, we’ve added helpful in-game hints for every choice. And choices that were previously hidden because of low stats now visible, just grayed out. So you’ll know exactly what Riley could do, if she did some other choices
Translations? Yup.
Version 0.7a is already available in Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian! More languages are on the way.
v0.5c
The new game update adds sexual sounds for all game animations, as well as to some non-animated events.
