MERCANOID

Just played through again on hard with a strength build and had a blast!

Had to make an account finally because  just need to do a long comment about this game I loved it so much!!!

For context, I'm asexual and have joked with my friends about finding a horny game that I actually like and been searching on and off. Genuinely I think this is the first one I loved for both its horny parts and the game parts. 

Loved loved loved the combat system, the flow/glow system felt really really good, items were situational but very fun (I stocked up on so much redline), the level up system reminded me of fallout new vegas which I adore, and the weapons were so unique that I was sad there wasn't a way to respec because I wanted to try them all. Plus it actually felt like a proper RPG with ramping power, at the end I could kill just about anything in a turn with B4B3 + security drones + special attacks. It also felt like an RPG with so many different ways to solve problems  without being punished for not having a specific build. Forceful weapons are hidden behind things that strength helps with, Tricky weapons are hidden behind things that Wisdom helps with, etc. Its great!

As for the horny parts I loved that they were locked behind losing all your hp, but if you had enough focus you could still get out. A lot of horny games do the hp vs mental hp thing and maybe I'm forgetting one but this is the first one I've seen where the mental hp actually feels impactful outside of just being a countdown to sex.

As for the sex, I can't really speak on it- Sorry, the bit of the smut I did read was really good! As the previous two comments mention I love how you describe "slam fucking" and the tone of the smut over all.

The characters are lovely. Each of them is one note and an existing archetype, but they never felt like jokes or stereotypes. I especially loved Ruzi, special thank you for making her feel so relatable. <3

The story is simple and a thinly veiled excuse for tentacle porn, which I respect. But what I find so much more amazing is the care that went into everything surrounding the plot. The little epithets for each monster, the in universe logs explaining how they were a product. The descriptions of items and rooms! New Text For Every Single Tile!!! The Codex!!!!!! Augh, its perfect. I may not be willing to click through the sex scenes that are the main draw of the game, but fictional company lore?? Sign me the fuck up. Plus the universe is just so wild yet takes itself so seriously! I love it!

Also! Technically related to the last point but, I was surprised the themes of identity with the buildborn and the tentacle non-con were all wrapped up in a lovely bow thematically. "Be who you want to be, don't let people take that from you" and "Too much of a good thing is bad" are very simple messages, but they were delivered very sweetly and were wholly unexpected.

Mio was an amazing character to play as. Her deadpan reactions, bouts of emotion, and internal dislodge was very fun. I was partially role playing her as asexual because she seemed so disgusted or put off by everything, the endings proved that interpretation wrong of course, but it was still fun!

Small thing but loved all the maps and icons, they look amazing!

Gosh what left can I say, um, loved the weapon upgrade system, the quests were fun and never felt tedious, the good ending was adorable, 

 Iziria's quest was really fun needing to manipulate the systems to lose but not fully lose and then make it back in one piece was a great puzzle, I can't help but wonder if I missed the connection between Nova and Mio but I really want to know what's going on between them!

The only minor nitpicks I have is there were a few bugs: items becoming other items, selling one weapon but it sells the equipped one, things like that. But, it never dulled the experience and was never a huge set back.

I really want to play this again on hard with a strict level cap and 0.75 exp and money! Sounds like a fun challenge! Maybe a strength build?

Anyways, this is probably going on for way too long, sorry!! Amazing game, 10/10, will be recommending it, 100% playing anything you make in the future. I wish I had money to give you, I hope you have a wonderful day!! <3

Honestly better than t.i.t.s. The writing is amazing, every character is super cute, the combat is more fun than i ever expected even making me think of combos to help deal with certain baddies. Can't wait to see what else you make <3 (also the way you describe fertilization and "slam fucking" is the hottest thing in the game)

Got the good ending, really really enjoyed the game. I loved the tone of it all. It's a lot, hm, kinder than most games in this genre.

For some reason, I cannot interact with the terminal located in Product Testing B. I also have checked everything I could find but haven't found the data that Meh needs.

I can't save😑

Android version?

I've only played a little of this so far but from what I've seen i love it! Great work

You did an absolutely fantastic job with this, I've gotta say I was expecting tentacles, but not much in the way of writing I'd take a genuine interest in, those expectations being proven wrong, I'm looking forwards to whatever you do next, and hopefully some potential expansion on this setting in the future.

Have a good one, you did great!

I'm guessing this game is broken on mobile since I can't get out of the pod.

Edit: nvm. I got it to work. Just had to flip my phone to see the control.

I'm trying to spare every boss, is there a way to lower enemy morale besides attacking?

hell of a game, great work all round! 

The writing is incredible, very good job putting the reader there. :  )

This game is pretty fun it would be even cooler if there's visual art of the characters, I'm personally enjoys this type of games more when there's at least drawing of the character to help with the immersion while reading.

Okay... I've rescued everyone, my morale's at 100, and I've completed eleven side quests... should I keep hunting for side content or can I move onto Mimi without worrying about extra content?

neat game. I liked it.

Hello I wanted to ask how prevalent is the mind control aspect in the game is

Loved this game, the writing is fantastic! Looking forward to your next stuff

Is this perchance inspired by Murderbot?

Would it be possible for you to make a downloable port for mobile?

do you get anything special for sparing the goo girl that has jii'kii i tried but could not manage to do it am i missing something or am  i fine?

even though i have 2 handiwork skill i cant give a zipper arm cannon a core booster says i have insufficient handiwork but it says it only requires 2 and before then it wasnt until i got more mats than needed that the message switched from not enough resources to not enough handiwork

where does a Code Moo monster appear?

Great game, only took two evenings/sessions to complete but the level, fight, and character designs as well as the writing were all superb.

Does anyone know the code to the door of B3?

I just stumbled upon this the other day and 100%'d it as soon as I could! It was an absolute pleasure to play, and I think it really builds upon some similar gameplay structures like that of TiTs or LT. The writing was by far my favorite part, each scenario was so well written, and the characters were so much fun ^^ 

Maybe I'm blind, but... Where is the fantasize menu? Is it in-game, or do I have to quit to access it?

is there pregnancy content and if so how do i get it?

This is a great game! Scope is limited enough that it actually finishes (with Epilogue!) and since beating an encounter unlocks the loss scenes, there's no need to throw fights to see the content.

If I could add one thing, it would be lovense integration. (Or better yet, a Tentaco-brand peripheral custom made to let you really feel what your character does.)

I feel both envious and ecstatic.

Envious because I am in the process of writing the same kind of story. Ecstatic because that's a really, really good game, with much more content and fluff that I expected. 

I'll give a full review once I've finished the game, but for now I have a lot of fun.

Sudden question but how do you complete the Serene Selene quest?I have been going crazy over it.

Thank you for your most excellent writing and for sharing it here! Be sure I shall contribute as soon as possible, in whatever way great or small I can. 

For awhile yet, my thanks and my 5 star rating will have to suffice. Have a grand day <3

Have you fixed the scrapping bug? where some items (like the monitor/computer) cannot drop under 1 when scrapped, allowing you to get essentially infinite materials for as long as your carpal tunnel can sustain it

You've got quite a knack for writing, you know that?  Your descriptions paint the scene very well.

This was really good. Like, *really* good. You're talented.

Just beat it- took about six hours, according to itch- and got the good ending. It's a really good game, and if I had one complaint it's that unless I'm missing something you can't refight most bosses without keeping a save before triggering the battle. It feels like there's stuff I've missed, which is decent in terms of replayability but since I explored most every corner I could that makes it less exciting in terms of story. I feel like maybe exp rates should be pushed down a bit by default for normal mode, it felt like I was getting level ups pretty quickly (and I finished at level cap), but altogether that's all my critique. Like I said, it's good and I enjoyed it. My favorite scene was the initial testing of the new program with B4B3, and I wound up using the bow since I prioritized dex and dodging. Didn't need to do any modding, since I wound up not having any bits when I looked into it. Thank you for your work!

I haven't played very much of the game yet, but it's great so far! I wonder... since the tentacle monsters you encouter are all to breed the player character, would it be possible to implement some kind of transformation that "futafies" the character to make them spread the tentacle seed?
