Knightly Passions Cheat Codes: The One Password That Unlocks Everything
Knightly Passions hides its entire cheat suite behind a single word. The developer, Feyada, did not bury it in a config file or lock it behind a third-party trainer. Instead, the game ships with a toggle in the settings menu that, once flipped, reveals a purple vial in the top-right corner of the screen. Click it, type adayef, and the player gains access to a full cheat panel — max stats, infinite gold, a god-tier sword, and instant gallery unlock.
The catch is that the cheat menu is not available from the title screen. It requires a specific sequence of menu dives and a new-game or load action before the vial appears. Below is the exact activation process, the full list of what the menu offers, and the Ren'Py console for players who need to dig deeper than the built-in panel allows.
How to Activate the Cheat Menu
- Launch the game and navigate to Settings → Preferences.
- Locate the Cheats option and toggle it ON.
- Start a new game or load an existing save.
- During gameplay, a purple potion vial appears in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click the vial. A text input box opens.
- Type adayef exactly as shown — no quotation marks, no capital letters.
- Press Enter or click confirm. The cheat menu unlocks immediately.
If the vial does not appear after enabling cheats in the preferences, the likely cause is that the player is still on the title screen or in a menu layer where the HUD is hidden. The vial only renders during active gameplay.
What the Cheat Menu Unlocks
Entering adayef does not grant a single buff. It opens a full panel with multiple toggles and injections. The confirmed effects are:
| Effect | Details |
|---|---|
| +1 Max Stamina | Permanently increases the stamina cap by one point. |
| +50 Max HP | Raises the health pool ceiling by fifty points. |
| +5 Skill Points | Adds five unspent points to the character's skill tree. |
| +500 Gold | Injected directly into the inventory. Can be used repeatedly if the menu allows. |
| Restore HP to Full | Instantly heals the player to maximum current health. |
| +5 Renown Points | Adds five points to the renown stat, which affects NPC reactions and available contracts. |
| Unlock All Gallery | Reveals every entry in the scene gallery. This is irreversible without deleting the persistent save file. |
| God Sword (500 DMG) | Spawns a weapon with 500 base damage directly into the inventory. This trivializes every combat encounter in the game. |
No other cheat passwords have been verified for Knightly Passions. Community sources list only adayef, and attempts to reuse codes from other Feyada titles or Ren'Py games fail silently.
Story Computer Passwords
Separate from the cheat menu, the game contains hard-coded computer passwords required for progression in specific story branches. These are not cheat codes in the traditional sense, but they are frequently searched alongside them:
| Device | Password |
|---|---|
| Tiffany's computer | RedQueen |
| Beatrix's laptop | KittenSickSadism |
| Tiffany's box (version 1.81+) | 06310 |
The Ren'Py Console for Advanced Editing
Because Knightly Passions is built on the Ren'Py engine, the developer console is accessible if the player needs functionality beyond the built-in cheat panel. Pressing Shift + O during gameplay opens a command line that accepts raw Python and Ren'Py script statements.
Standard commands include:
- jump [label_name] — warps to a specific scene or chapter.
- $ [variable] = [value] — edits any Python variable directly (money, stats, flags).
- renpy.jump("unlock_all_mem") — unlocks the gallery via script label, bypassing the vial menu entirely.
The console is case-sensitive and requires the dollar sign prefix for variable assignments. If the game was compiled without developer mode enabled, the console may refuse script commands. In that case, the player must edit 00console.rpy inside the renpy/common folder and set config.console = True, or use the community UnRen.bat tool to patch the files automatically.
Save File Locations and Backup
Knightly Passions stores data in Ren'Py's standard directory structure. The persistent file holds gallery unlocks and cheat flags, while individual .save files store campaign progress.
| Platform | Path |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\RenPy\KnightlyPassions-[version] or C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\KnightlyPassions-[version] |
| macOS | ~/Library/RenPy/KnightlyPassions-[version] |
| Linux | ~/.renpy/KnightlyPassions-[version] |
| Android | /sdcard/Android/data/[package]/files/ or Documents/RenPy_Saves/ |
The persistent file inside this folder controls cross-save data such as gallery unlocks and cheat flags. Deleting it resets the gallery and removes the cheat menu activation across all saves. Players should copy the entire folder before experimenting with console commands or importing community save files.
Community Save Files
For players who want to skip progression entirely, community sites host 100% completed save files. These typically include:
- Finished main story and all chapters.
- All characters at maximum stats.
- All skills and abilities acquired.
- All rare and secret items obtained.
- Gallery fully unlocked.
Installation requires extracting the downloaded archive into the Ren'Py save folder listed above, overwriting existing files. As always, backing up the original save folder first is mandatory — overwriting without a backup destroys the original progress permanently.
Honest Warnings
- Gallery unlock is irreversible. Once adayef is entered and the gallery is unlocked, the only way to re-lock it is to delete the persistent file. Starting a new game does not reset gallery progress.
- The "Honest Player!" achievement is voided. Steam awards this trophy for completing the game without using cheat codes. Entering adayef at any point disables eligibility for this specific achievement on that save file. Other achievements remain unaffected.
- The god sword breaks combat balance. With 500 base damage, the weapon one-shots every enemy in the game. Players who still want to experience combat as designed should avoid spawning it.
- Console variable names are undocumented. The internal Python names for money, stamina, and renown are not published. Trial and error on a dummy save is the only way to discover them via $ [variable] = [value].
- Android paths vary by APK source. The Ren'Py save location on Android depends on whether the build was installed through an official store, sideloaded, or wrapped in a third-party launcher. File manager apps with root access may be required to locate the data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cheat codes disable Steam achievements?
No, with one exception. The Honest Player! achievement requires a cheat-free playthrough. All other trophies unlock normally regardless of how many times adayef is entered.
Why does the purple vial not appear?
Three common causes: cheats were not toggled ON in the Preferences menu, the player is still on the title screen instead of in active gameplay, or the game build is a non-standard port where the vial asset was stripped.
Can the cheat menu be accessed on Android?
Yes, provided the Android build includes the vial asset. The activation process is identical: toggle cheats in Preferences, start or load a game, and tap the vial. The on-screen keyboard handles text input.
Is there a way to re-lock the gallery?
Only by deleting the persistent file from the Ren'Py save folder. There is no in-game toggle or console command that selectively re-locks gallery entries.
Does the Ren'Py console work without enabling cheats first?
Yes, but only if the game was compiled with config.console = True or if the player patches 00console.rpy. The vial cheat menu and the Ren'Py console are independent systems.
Bottom Line
Knightly Passions keeps its cheating simple: one toggle, one vial, one password. adayef opens a panel that hands out a god sword, maxes stats, fills the wallet, and strips the gallery of its secrets in seconds. For players who need more — custom variables, scene warping, or granular stat edits — the Ren'Py console is always available under the hood. The trade-off is a permanently unlocked gallery and a voided Honest Player! achievement. Back up the persistent file, decide whether the god sword is worth the boredom, and remember that the purple vial only appears once the player is actually inside the game world.
