The Tyrant

Master every scene, character path, and mod feature in this addictive adult visual novel

Ever returned home after a long trip only to dive into a world of forbidden desires and power plays? That’s exactly what happens in The Tyrant, the gripping adult visual novel where you play as a son back from his exchange student year, ready to reshape family dynamics. Packed with branching paths, steamy scenes, and mod-enhanced content, this game hooks you from the first choice. Whether you’re chasing love routes with Nicole or corruption arcs with Alexis, I’ve got the insider tips from my own marathon sessions to help you unlock everything. Let’s break down how to dominate The Tyrant and make every moment count.

Unlocking Core Mechanics in The Tyrant

My first night with The Tyrant was a disaster. 🫠 I clicked blindly, charmed by the visuals, and ended up with a Nicole who despised me and an Alexis who was just… confused. I had zero understanding of the two driving forces behind every choice: love corruption points. I was saving when I should have been corrupting, and being a sweetheart when I should have been taking control. It felt like hitting a brick wall repeatedly.

Luckily, after that brutal first run, I cracked the code. This chapter is your key to doing the same. We’re going deep on the core mechanics that make this adult visual novel tick. By mastering points, map navigation, and special systems, you’ll move from frustrated to omnipotent. Let’s unlock the game together. 🔓

How Do Love and Corruption Points Work?

Think of love corruption points as the twin engines of your story. They aren’t opposites on a single scale; they’re two separate scores that open different doors for each character.

• Love Points are about genuine connection, trust, and romance. High love with Nicole might lead to tender moments and a traditional romantic path.
• Corruption Points are about influence, control, and unlocking darker, more submissive traits. High corruption bends a character’s will and opens up fetishistic scenarios.

The magic (and the trick) is that you can build both for a single character, but your choices will prioritize one over the other. A scene might give +2 Love or +2 Corruption, rarely both. Your cumulative score in each category unlocks specific Alexis room events or Nicole’s reactions during key story beats.

Here’s a classic example: the 5 PM laptop event in your MC’s room. If you’ve built love corruption points with Alexis through kind conversations, choosing the “gentle” option deepens that bond. If you’ve pumped up her corruption via earlier dominant choices, the “forceful” option becomes available, pushing her further down that path. The same location offers two entirely different futures!

To visualize the divergent paths, here’s a breakdown for the core characters:

The key takeaway? You can’t be everything to everyone in one playthrough. Decide your target path early for each character and stick to it for consistent results.

Best Starting Choices for Maximum Progression

So, how do you start strong? Based on my many, many restarts, I recommend picking one primary focus for your first few in-game weeks. Do you want a corrupted Nicole or a loving Alexis? Trying to max both from day one spreads you too thin.

I recommend a Corruption-focused first run. It opens up more game content faster, including the coveted gang member path.

Here’s your actionable early-game blueprint:

1. For Nicole Corruption: Your first priority is the Nicole clothing system. This is your primary corruption tool. Every night at midnight after a dining event, use your phone to access the shop. Buy her a gift. The next day, give it to her. This grants massive corruption points and unlocks new outfit-specific scenes. Rinse and repeat. 🛍️
2. For Alexis Corruption: Be present at 3 PM upstairs for the shower peek. Consistently. Then, at 5 PM in your room, use the laptop for the “secret place” interaction. These two repeatable actions are the backbone of building Alexis room events of a corrupt nature.
3. For General Point Building: Never skip the 1 PM dining event. It’s a guaranteed point opportunity with either Nicole or Alexis. Choose dialogue that aligns with your chosen path (e.g., dominant for corruption, supportive for love).
4. Save Scum for Key Tests: Some events, especially later on, have skill checks or relationship thresholds. Save before important decisions like confronting Bruce or major dialogue choices with Davide.

My “eureka” moment came when I finally understood this focus. I ignored Alexis’s love path entirely, poured all efforts into corrupting Nicole via gifts and dominant dinner talk, and consistently spied at 3 PM. By the second week, scenes were unlocking that I didn’t even know existed, seamlessly leading me toward how to become gang member The Tyrant.

Navigating Home Map Locations Like a Pro

The home map isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a strict schedule. Missing a time slot means missing a crucial event. Here’s your cheat sheet for the most important home map locations.

The Daily Must-Checks:
* 1 PM – Dining Room: Non-negotiable. This is your main relationship-building time. Nicole or Alexis will be here. Your dialogue choice here sets the tone for the day.
* 3 PM – Upstairs Hallway: The shower peek for Alexis corruption. A steady, repeatable source of points.
* 5 PM – MC’s Room: Laptop time. This is where you review footage (corruption) or chat online (can lead to love options). Essential.
* 8-9 PM – Living Room: This is the golden window for how to become gang member The Tyrant. This is when Davide and Bruce often chat. Hanging out here and making the right choices (usually showing ambition and a lack of squeamishness) is critical to getting invited into their circle. Express interest in their “business.”

The Scheduled Events:
* Tuesdays & Thursdays: If you’re on the gang path, these are often package delivery days. Saying yes to these errands for Bruce is a major trust builder.
* 11 PM – Basement Access: This usually unlocks after progressing the gang storyline or reaching certain corruption milestones. It’s a late-game location for some of the most extreme content, especially with mod features enabled.
* Midnight Dining after Gifts: Remember, the Nicole clothing system is activated by giving a gift during the day, which then triggers a special dinner scene at midnight. Be there!

Mod-Enhanced Navigation: If you’re playing with the popular 0.9.4b or 0.9.6 mods, keep an eye out for new options in these locations. Mods often add explicit toggles for BDSM or anal content within existing scenes, usually presented as an extra dialogue choice. For example, a corrupted scene with Alexis in your room might have a new, more intense option available thanks to the mod.

To tie it all together, here are my top five beginner tips for conquering the home map:

• Set a Mental Schedule: 1 PM Dine, 3 PM Peek, 5 PM Laptop, 8 PM Lounge. Make this your routine.
• Prioritize the Gang Hangout: Want that gang member life? Clear your 8-9 PM schedule. Be in the living room.
• Gifts are King: Always have a gift ready for Nicole from the phone shop to fuel the clothing system.
• Save at 10:55 PM before going to bed. This lets you re-roll any potential midnight event outcomes or test basement access.
• Avoid NTR Surprises: The best way to avoid unwanted content with other male characters is simple: keep your love corruption points high with the women. A strong relationship lock-in (especially on a Love path) makes them less susceptible to outside influences.

Mastering these home map locations and their timetables removes all the guesswork from your The Tyrant walkthrough. You’re no longer wandering—you’re executing a plan. Combine this spatial awareness with a focused strategy for love corruption points, and you will absolutely master every scene, character path, and mod feature this addictive game throws at you. Now go claim your empire. 👑
