**Personal Assistant** is an interactive adult visual novel by Seath Black, and a remake of JL Creation's AVN of the same name.

## Overview

Life isn't fair, nor is the pain and suffering you endured from the accident. With your wife gone, and your daughter dealing with her own issues, you seek help to live your everyday life. Rachel, the sweet young innocent woman you hire, has her own issues. Her mother is overly protective, she seeks life outside of her house. As your Personal Assistant, she will do what you need, when you need it. The question remains though... how will you treat her? Will she be the person to help you relive your tragic past, or will you corrupt her into the puppet she so longs to be? It's your choice. Everything you do, say and order her to do, will have lasting consequences. Will Rachel, her sister, and your daughter be nothing but slaves to you, or will they fill that longing need to fulfill the love you may desire? There are no game overs, or wrong choices... only what you want and need.

## Gameplay

As a visual novel, the main core mechanics of *PA* retort to choice-making by the player, which can lead to different outcomes.

### Thematic choices

#### Corruption

The principal aspect of PA is that of corrupting the girls through depravity points made by perverted choices. The lower the depravity, the nicer Marshal will be to them, whereas the higher the points the more the girls will be willing to go through.

##### Prostitution

When the girls are corrupted enough, the player will have the chance to sell them out to clients.

#### Slavery/Dungeon

At certain points in the story the player will have the choice to capture certain characters and put them in Marshal's basement, which will led to slave-related content, in which the player will be able to "play" with the girls at the end of each in-game day.

* **Drawbacks:** Enslaving anyone will remove them from eventual story arcs.

**Characters that can be enslaved up to 0.4:**

* Susan
* Ryona
* Gwen

#### Selling Photos

The player also will have the chance to sell photos and videos of the girls online. This option can be turned off and on through the menu.

If the clients are happy with the photos offered by Marshal, he will be rewarded through different means.

### Phone

The phone feature was introduced in update 4. Replacing the on-screen stats for a more sophisticated and comprehensive sub-menu. Among the apps accessible there are:

* **Contacts**: Shows characters information, such as a mini-bio and their current stats.
* **Camera**: Offers access to the different cameras installed in Marshal's house, showcasing the other characters doing different activities. The camera section also provides additional bonus renders.

### Free-roaming events

#### Mystery safe

While in control of Kennedy, the player must decipher the combination lock of Marshal's safe. Each in-game night three tries total can be performed to get it right. After that this feature will be locked out for the remaining of free-roaming events.

Throughout the story, characters and instances will offer clues as to what the code combination might be. The safe is by-design not meant to be open right away however. Cheating by checking the game's code or through other methods will result in simply failing the mini-game and getting an early lock of this segment.

#### Marshal's desk office

While in control of Marshal, the player can checkout his phone or laptop, and also explore parts of the house. Once the event is over the story will continue normally.

### Walkthrough

Similar to *The Guardian*, *Blackheart Hotel* and *Secrets of Whispering Pines*, PA features an in-game walkthrough option which highlights the depravity points and content choices to facilitate decision-making for the player.
