Onyx is a computer sex game. Move around the board buying up properties. If you land on a property that is owned by somebody else, you must either pay rent or work off the debt! Players work off debt with all kinds of intimate actions, from mild to kinky. As the game progresses, so does the action! Play with people you are intimate with, or want to be!
You can work off the debt by being assigned fun, sexy erotic actions.
Look out for special squares! If you land on the Torture Chamber, you must draw a "torture card" with an erotic torture on it. At Center Stage, you are put on display; in the Random Encounter square, you will be assigned an erotic action with another player; and on the Fate squares, the luck of the draw dictates your fate.
You control the "spice" of the erotic actions, from harmless fun to wild, anything-goes kink. You choose "roles," which tell the game what kinds of actions you prefer to be involved in. If you don't like being tied up, just tell Onyx that you will not accept the "bondage" role.
Onyx 3.6 and earlier did not work on Macs requiring 64-bit native apps. Onyx 3.7 now works on modern Macs, and is optimized to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs. A version of Onyx that runs natively on Windows ARM devices is also available!
UPDATE: Some Mac users were reporting an error saying “Onyx 3.7.app can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.” I have updated the app to address this issue; it should work properly now.
Onyx runs on Macs (OS X 10.14 or later), Windows (Windows 7 or later), Windows for ARM (Windows 11 or later), and x86 Linux (GTK 2.0+).
Onyx is available for free download. The free version can only be played on the mildest two "spice level" settings. Onyx can be registered by paying the $35 shareware fee. Registration gives you a serial number to unlock the full version, and it also gives you the Card Editor program, which you can use to create your own card decks.
Onyx contains explicit descriptions of sexual acts. Some of the high-level actions in Onyx describe erotic actions like bondage and power exchange.

The Xbox 360, a console that revolutionized the gaming industry with its innovative design and impressive game library, has also become a canvas for personal expression through custom skins. Among these, freestyle skins have gained significant popularity, allowing users to personalize their consoles with unique and often striking designs. This trend not only reflects the creativity of the gaming community but also highlights the console's role as a cultural icon that transcends its original purpose as a gaming device. Custom skins for the Xbox 360 began to gain traction shortly after the console's release in 2005. Initially, these skins were primarily used for aesthetic purposes, enabling owners to personalize their consoles to match their personal style or room décor. Over time, however, the designs have evolved significantly. Today, they encompass a wide range of themes, from simple and elegant designs to elaborate and intricate artworks that cover the entire console. Freestyle Skins: A New Level of Personalization Freestyle skins represent a new level of personalization, offering more than just a cosmetic upgrade. These skins often feature bold, eye-catching designs that can transform the Xbox 360 into a piece of art. The term "freestyle" refers to the limitless creativity and freedom that designers have when creating these skins. There are no rules or boundaries, allowing for the creation of truly unique and sometimes controversial designs. Cultural Significance The popularity of freestyle Xbox 360 skins also speaks to the broader cultural significance of gaming consoles. The Xbox 360, in particular, has played a pivotal role in shaping the gaming landscape. Its longevity and widespread adoption have made it a staple in many homes, and the custom skins reflect the personal connections people have with their consoles. These skins can serve as a form of self-expression, a way for individuals to showcase their interests, hobbies, or artistic tastes. Community and Creativity The community surrounding custom Xbox 360 skins is vibrant and diverse. Online forums and social media platforms have become hubs for enthusiasts to share their designs, offer feedback, and inspire one another. This collaborative environment fosters creativity and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with console customization. Moreover, the accessibility of design tools and the availability of skin templates have democratized the process, allowing anyone with a bit of creativity and patience to create and share their designs. Challenges and Considerations While the trend of custom skins is largely positive, there are challenges and considerations. For instance, the application process can be delicate, requiring care to avoid damaging the console. Additionally, the durability of the skins varies, with some designs fading or peeling off over time. Potential buyers must also be cautious of copyright issues with some designs, ensuring that they are purchasing from reputable sources that respect intellectual property rights. Conclusion Freestyle Xbox 360 skins represent more than just a hot trend in console customization; they are a testament to the enduring impact of the Xbox 360 on gaming culture and personal expression. As gaming continues to evolve, the legacy of the Xbox 360 and the creativity of its community will remain significant. Whether for aesthetic purposes, self-expression, or as a tribute to the console's iconic status, freestyle skins have undoubtedly added a new dimension to the Xbox 360 experience, making it a standout in the history of gaming.
