Early supporters who bough the game on Itch can request a Steam key here on the purchase page.
"Shut Up and Dance" is the story of a young man's life taking a turn for the worse and everything going downhill in an instant.
A beloved person dies under suspect circumstances and in the blink of an eye the life you're used to is gone - a cushy home, not having to worry about money or food on the table, paying for your academic studies...
A carefree life - everything gone in a heartbeat...
As it stands now there seems no way out of this so you leave school and start working to help your folks cope with the situation - financially and emotionally. Until out of the blue our protagonist receives an interesting job offer from an unexpected quarter that promises to make things better.
But is it going to be a curse or a blessing?
Well, that will be up to you as it's you calling the shots and making the decisions...

**********Important**********
- Current version of the game includes Episodes 1-9 Special Edition.
- The difference with the Regular version is pretty simple: you get more lewd scenes. Currently the game has about 5.000 images and 300 unique animations and the number is growing with each new release. I usually deliver a new update every 2.5-3 months.
- You get the same very version as on Patreon, without any differences. It's a good option for those who don't like Patreon's subscription model and prefer one-time payment instead.
- The game on Itch will be updated together with Patreon. It means that as soon as a new release arrives on Patreon, it will appear here as well.
- Keep in mind, that the game is in "Remake period" yet which will be over soon. Only Episodes 5 and the first half of Episode 6 are left to redo, while the rest is done with good visuals and plenty of animations. When you see a "Remake Warning" in the game, you need to press "Yes" if you want to continue playing. The change of the visuals in-between is noticeable but, once again, it'll be over pretty soon :)
- If you have any questions, you can always write to me on Discord.

P.S. All the previous episodes are included in the latest release.

I bought chapters 1-9 on Steam will it be updated to the current version of 10.1
Yes, both the Steam and Itch versions are already updated. :)
Is this game made in unity?
No, it's Ren'py :)
Visuals are done in Daz.
When can we expect episode 10?
Working on it right now, hopefully it'll be ready during the summer already. :)
Hi will the "Shut Up and Dance: Special Edition - Gallery Unlocker" also available on Itch.io or the steam key? Caus i can't by it in Germany.
Hi!
Yes, if you get it here, there'll also be a "Claim key" button on your purchase page which will give it to you on Steam.:)
but the key is only for the main game and not for the unlocker dlc right? such a key i already got :)
Yes, I can't add keys for DLC because it's not a full game unfortunately.
Can Steam release a Chinese version? I really want to play this game, and I have already purchased it on Steam, but my English is not very good, which makes me very troubled
Hi! Yes, I'm planning to add Chinese.
It will take some time because the game is text heavy, but it'll be added eventually. :)
Attn: dear Boring Games (a misnomer if ever I saw one)
I have a problem. I tried to download my Steam Key, but itch.io, have sent the verification email to an originally WRONG address. I have already in the past corrected and verified with them my correct email address. So a few days ago I emailed itch.io support attaching screenshots showing the differences in email addresses and confirming the fact that I've previously verified with itch the correct one, and asked them again to correct their records. I've heard nothing at all, so I don't know whether itch.io support doesn't exist or they are perhaps massively busy or they are just plain ignoring me. I'm anxious to claim my Steam Key in case you run out of them.
I don't know if you can or will do anything to help me. I'll, of course, be happy to send you the very same proof of the situation as I've sent to itch.io. to prove my dilemma and the authenticity of my claim. If you are willing to help me, please let me know how you want to handle this, just let me know here and I'll be happy to oblige. I'd prefer not to post my email address publicly here, but if that's what it will take in order for you to initiate the process, then so be it. Please just let me know how to proceed here.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi!
Did you buy it without making an account here?
You can text me directly on discord, we'll figure it out:)
And you can also check this page: https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought
Hi there!
Good news, I think. I've just today been contacted by itch.io support and I am hopeful that I have the information they tell me they require in order to take steps in resolving this issue.
I'm hoping now that this can be worked out to everyone's satisfaction.I regret having had to bother you guys at all, but hopefully now I won't need you to become any further involved.
Thanks for replying at all and thanks especially for replying quickly. I appreciate it. I'm very sorry to have bothered you at all.
Falco
Sounds good!
In case if they can't help, just text me directly on Discord with the email you used. I think it'll be faster this way.
Dear Boring Games
It's all sorted! Itch.io support have freed up the Steam Key and corrected their records on both this and four of the other titles I have purchased previously purchased on itch.io.
Thanks for your close attention and my apologies once again for bothering you. I very much look forward to enjoying your masterpiece on Steam and, of course, contributing a positive review in support of the cause.
Grateful thanks and very best wishes for the further success of this and future titles.
Falco
Glad it's solved!
On the regular version of the game when i try to replay lewd scenes it says that an exception error has occured. Any idea how to fix this?
If you used mods, they could be the reason. It's difficult to say without seeing the error itself.
When do you send out the Steam keys for the release today?
I think they mentioned before keys would be sent out after release, but I hope it's soon. Waiting for mine too :)
Moonky is correct, the keys will be sent in a couple of days. I've already requested them, so don't worry - if you bought the game here, you'll get the key too. :-p
Thanks <3
I purchased this 289 days ago and still waiting on a key.
Starting to send them today. Not sure why you mentioned 289 days because Steam release was released last Thursday only xD
Anyways, you should get one shortly!
Thank you. I should've clarified I purchased it here 289 days ago.
a couple of days D:
All keys are added!
Thanks got mine!
Hey Boring Games,
purchased your game a long time ago. Was updating your game onto my computer and got kinda confused about the extra 2 files on the google drive. This is how i read it.
-1) the shut up and dance apk- whats this for?
-2)walkthrough
-3) mac game download
-4) market game download
-5) Shud scenes unlocker- whats this for?
I know that one of these is a relationship patch? or am I wrong? please let me know soon as possible so i don't mess up the game files, thanks!
Hey!
There're separate versions of the games for different platforms.
1)If you play on Windows or Linux, you need to download "Market" version.
2) Mac version is for MacOS.
3) Walkthrough is a PDF file which explains the choices in the game.
4)Gallery Unlocker is a special file you put into "game" folder to unlock all scenes.
5) There're no relationships patches. All such patches you can find are unofficial and not made by me, so be careful installing them and other mods.
Hope this helps :)
OK thanks!
Purchased for Mac but app won't open - Help!
Do you have an M1?
I'm already uploading a separate Mac build, but if you don't want to wait, here's another solution:
The reason the game doesn't run is the quarantine imposed by Gatekeeper. You can remove it in Terminal with the command
"xattr -d com.apple.quarantine" (without the quotes) and drag ShutUpandDance.app to the same line and then hit Enter. The game should start without problems after this. :)
UPD: Uploaded a separate Mac build to Google Drive. It's called "ShutUpAndDanceEp6RESpecial-1.0.-mac.zip".
Could you please try it within the Itch.io app? It works on my MacBook Pro. It should be fine if you play it within the Itch.io app
https://itch.io/app
Or Drag the app to the application director and try again.
Please no NTR by the former friend...that ending has scary consequences that I hope is just an OD dream!
I'll never add NTR, rest assured:)
there is lesbians in the game?
There're no pure lesbian routes, only FFM, where main character participates. There's some female-female teasing, though.
Am I missing something? Is there a folder with the renders? Amazing work and it would be great to view the renders separately and without text. Megan is the best!
Thanks! The renders are hidden by default but you can look for Ren'Py extractors if you want to check the game files. :)
Thanks! Much appreciated. Looking forward to next episodes.
When can we expect the next update?
I'm working on the final scene of the update, so everything should be ready in a couple of weeks.
From all the MILFS in those games she is my favorite, thank you for making this game!
Thanks and glad you enjoy!
I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with computers, but is there a tutorial on how this is done on a window computer?
You need to download 7Zip to unpack files. It's a free program, you can find it here: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Once you've downloaded and installed it, you'll need to right-click the SUaD archive and choose option "Extract here", then just open the newly created folder and you'll see an .exe file which starts the game. :)
P.S. here's a video tutorial about unpacking files with 7Zip:
after i purchase it and download it, wat exactly do i do? and how do i play the game?
You'll need to download it (either from Mega or from Google Drive), unpack the zip, and then you'll just need to click the .exe file to start playing.
You can download the game using Mega (if you have an account there, it'll be faster) or Google drive. Universal build is suitable for Windows and Linux, and there're separate builds for Android and Mac in the folder.
And yes, you can open the special scenes with this version of the game :)
this update is continue the game progress?
Currently it has eps. 1-9.2 (eps. 5-6.1 aren't remade). The new update will be out in a few weeks.
OK 👍 thx
I'd also like to know how to get the Steam key as mentioned on Patreon!
Yep, as I just wrote below, I will be sending the keys as soon as the game is released on Steam. I'll do an announcement here as well as on Patreon. You won't miss it ;)
The Patreon message says on getting it on Steam if we already have a copy on Itch! is there a way to let you know on this so can get it there or get in touch to confirm?
Sure, I will be requesting the keys and sending them as soon as the game is released there. You won't miss it, rest assured :)
I have a question. Is ithe gallery unlock mod available for android?
It should work, you need to create a folder "game" in 'Android/data/com.boringgames.shutupanddance/files/' and place the mod there.
before i buy this is the download link mega?
There're two mirrors: Mega (in case if you have a subscription already, it's much faster, imo) and Google Drive without any size/traffic limitations.
thanks
ive bought the game, downloaded using both links and they wouldn't unzip any help?
Couple things:
What. In. The. HELL IS WRONG with this Preston guy? Why is he foaming at the mouth? And her! Why are her eyes black?! Why is she evil now?!
And then there's this:
Why is MC saying "Boo" like he's a ghost? Is MC telling Peter that he's just crapped in his pants supposed to make Peter feel threatened somehow?
WHY'S IT GOTTA BE LIKE THAT?
Those are scenes from the two unremade episodes which I'm working on now, they'll be changed a lot.
What's the relationship patch for? What does it do?
That's a fan patch:)
Thanks for purting this up dev love the game buying it to show support
Thanks for your trust in the project and your support too!
If you are looking for Great models and animations then you came to the right place. If you looking for a great story with a likeable MC, then you would have to look elsewhere. Some of the time I find myself holding down the skip button just to get to next sex scene or part of the story, just to avoid reading the dialogue.
Thanks for your feedback! What exactly have you found disturbing about the MC?
Hello,
i bought the game, do I qualify for the Steam Key?
If so then would it be possible to have it
Hey! Yep, I will be sending the keys when the game is released there:)
how long is each eps?
I haven't counted, but I guess each one is more than an hour. And if you try to open each route it'll be even longer. In short, there's plenty of content :-p
ive just bought the game but it wont extract so just wondering what wrong with it? If theres nothing you can do ill need a refund cheers
Hi! I suggest using WinRar or 7Zip to extract it, they always work. It's also possible that you got a bad download, in this case you'll need to redownload the game and try again. You can also text me on discord and send me the error it gives you. If nothing helps we can do a refund, of course:)
I remember playing this on fap when it was free play. Good game what I remember, when ever it comes free play I'll be down to download it again
The public version of the game will remain free and will be updated as usual:)
Hey I already paid for the game. But the Mega download is more than the 5 gb daily limit. Can you at least create a way for me to download your game without reaching the mega 5gb limit? Maybe possibly using a different downloader tool or something?
Hi! You shouldn't be facing limits on mega due to the way it is set on my end, I'll check it once again. Thanks for letting me know!
And yes, I'll provide mirror links:)
*Edit: they're added together with the latest walkthrough.
Downloaded the game using the Google links. No issues at all thanks for the alternative. Looking forward to the continuation of the story!
I do love this game but keep trying to get the scenes I'm missing. Is there or plans for a walkthrough at all?
Yep, I think I'll include it with later releases:)
Hate to be that impatient rabid fan about when there's going to be an update, but the froth around me mouth is just getting too bad ;) but if you have a ballpark guess that's still be amazing
The next update is pretty big, so I guess it'll be out somewhere in January-February. About 15% of the visuals are done at the moment :)
Great game... story has an interesting paths. The renders are great. It's very polished. I bought this with the bundle and I can't get over the fact that the scenes and animations are amazing. I like this game and I would encourage everyone to check it out. I can't wait for the next update.
Notes to the dev, the game is large enough as it is. Are you guys gonna break it into season ie episode 1-10 first season and 11 - 20 second season. Are you gonna have more scenes with the other ladies?
Thank you a lot, really glad you enjoyed it!
About your questions: the game won't be divided into seasons because the total number of episodes will be about 10 (maybe 1-2 more if it's needed to finish the story properly). I'm aware of this problem and will try to compress it a bit more without quality loss. A possible alternative will be providing mirror links on Itch without any limitations (currently you shouldn't hit any limits on Mega if you download the game from here), or posting "Update only patches" with new content.
As for the ladies - of course, they'll all get enough attention!
I'm new to this. So if I buy it now. Do I get it permanently including future updates?
Yep, you will. The page will be updated together with Patreon
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
or dominating personality female character name
Can't say there's any femdom in the game, to be honest. There're some tough ladies like Ange or Violet, but it definitely doesn't count like femdom. I'd suggest looking for other games if you're into femdom content :)
No more free episodes?
Why, the public version will be posted here like usual.
Is there any NTR ?
Nope and it's not planned.
Yep, it's a one time payment.
And I didn't do new scenes with her lately, though she'll probably appear again.
Awsome game.😉
Glad you enjoyed!
