Synopsis:

---

Your character awakens in a realm between consciousness and unconsciousness. A demon-like creature named Lexi makes a deal with them to take their soul back to the waking world if they gather enough Spall (dream currency/energy) to help her carry them. An open ended adventure about transformation, pleasure, weight gain, and monsterfucking.

This is going to be one of the spicier things I review. Normally content of this genre of kink is relatively chaste. But this game is unrepentantly horny so you have been warned. Not everything in this game appeals to me, but as a whole I love it. The writing is skillful and makes even things that don't normally interest me at least compelling.

Now this is a difficult one to review if only because it is sprawling sandbox game. There are storylines I have not yet explored because I have spent a lot of time with the game while focusing on the characters and features I want to see. So while I try to cover everything I want to talk about, there is bound to be more in the game I don’t know of yet. This will be a long one so to let you the reader know whether this will be of interest to you, let me list some “Make or Break” aspects. These are things I believe will determine whether someone will be interested in this game.

The game is not finished. There is a lot of content but few fully complete story arcs.

Porn with plot (kind of). There’s a ton of kink and sexual content, and it’s wrapped with many fleshed out NPCs, interesting world building, and waxing philosophic with the dream denizens. The current storylines available aren’t yet fully finished.

There are some scenes of force-feeding or forced weight gain, mostly avoidable by the player’s choices. However, all sexual encounters are explicitly consensual and even when substances are involved, the player is generally given a second chance to opt out of the scene before it gets into full swing.

There are no fully humanoid characters aside from the player character. Some are furries, some are demons, and many are monsters. These characters are very unconventional and will either be a major plus or major turn off. 

There is a built in Content Warning system that is optional to use so you can more easily avoid scenes you aren’t interested in.

Your character is very customizable. You name them, select their pronouns, their natural weight distribution, their starting weight and fitness, their height, breasts + size, genitals + size, hair style and color, how they present themselves, etc. I played an androgynous presenting character with They/Them pronouns and the Baronet alternated between calling them Master Fiore and Lady Fiore.

You don’t have to let your player character gain weight, and there is a single female feedee NPC, Kip the Geckling, with a full weight progression arc with. You can form a sort of pet-flavored D/s relationship with her and feed her. I really like the POV aspect playing as a feedee character, but I know for some it’s a dealbreaker. There are no masculine characters of the same nature as Kip.

No Combat. If you have never played an erotic text adventure game, that may sound silly. But it is seriously a huge plus.

I think that is all of the important things to note, assuming I haven’t forgotten anything. I know that seems like a dense hunk of info but it’s a game with a lot going on.

Despite being unfinished, this game gets a 5/5 from me. It’s so full of variety and feels lovingly crafted. There’s a lot of care for the writing but also for the player with the inclusions of customization and warnings and different ways to approach the setting. I really enjoy the writing all around, even in the sex scenes. And I say that as someone who enjoys erotic games, but will usually skim explicit sex scenes since they rarely ever interest me. The NPCs are likeable and when you are able to fully customize your character’s body and gender presentation without it feeling like an afterthought, it makes a world of difference. If you decide to make branching saves to try out different transformations or options, the ability to change your name and gender presentation mid-game is also a helpful feature.

Gameplay is freeform and in a previous version of the game, you discovered new locations by Exploring your current locations. The writer has noted exploration as an important aspect of the game. If you played any of the oldschool open world erotic text adventures, this was a common system back then. I think it keeps things interesting by including ways to goad you into stumbling across scenes by accident while in an area seeking a particular result. The new update makes it easier to get to all of the most practical locations, while still leaving secondary locations for you to discover on your own. This latest update also added a clothing system, so you get occasional updates on the state of your character’s outfit during scenes that change your size.

Sometimes the descriptions are gratuitous, such as the frequent flavor messages that pop up at the bottom of pages at the larger sizes. I find the descriptions are not always realistically proportionate to the weights and sizes listed as well. We'll call them exaggerated for the purpose of eroticism. Think of it like an erotica that emphasizes how very big the leading lady's breasts are, only to reveal they're an only slightly above average D-cup. Maybe this is just my experience because of the dynamic weight descriptions, as it takes your character's height into consideration. I always play as a short character so the math may be tuned to err on the bigger side when describing the character since that is what players are there for for the most part.

While feeding and weight gain are the most present theme, the secondary theme of the game is transformation, as you can mix and match mutations from different dream species. Not all of these are present yet, but here is the gene table to expression your character’s make up. I haven’t experimented with it myself, but the game maker has said that if you are close to 50/50 of two species, you may be called by a special species name by NPCs. Ex: Half Bovine Liminal, Half Oojinn (Hivemind slime person), your character is a Moojinn.

I like transformation more as a character development than as a kink, but I can appreciate how unconventional some of these transformations are. The Kindred of Grease transformation was scarier than I expected it to be but made sense in-world when I thought about some of the other denizens I had seen. There is a blueberry expansion themed mutagen as well, and while it isn't implimented yet, I see one of the oviposition themed monsters on the chart. This is a good time to point out that my Warnings list is not an extensive list of all fetishes presented in the game, but rather the ones I felt were most likely to pose a problem for unexpecting players. I recommend that anyone particularly concerned play with the warning system turned on at least until they get a feel for the atmosphere of the game. Back on the topic of mutagens, there is a character who can remove mutations for you as well but I have found that this feature is glitched with certain forms so you should always save before you interact with mutagenic items you may decide you dislike.

The dream world setting works well for this kind of game. Nothing feels like it’s chafing against other features since the world is so strange and fluid. It turns into pure escapism. There are “Endings” which are Game Overs, but Lexi just saves you / reconstitutes your form / whatever she needs to do in order to resume the game since you are of use to her. Characters can get mad at you but it’s fairly low stakes. There are characters you can raise your relationship with and can sleep with but there aren’t any consequences for going from character to character as they catch your interest. In the game’s files, there are a total of 14 NPCs with a portrait image.

I’ll list my top three character encounters here in no particular order.

Delphi

A trans oppossum lady who runs a potentially illegal apothecary and wears a gas mask to reduce overstimulation. She is a scientist and will compensate you for letting her test her concoctions on you. There is an expansion scene (not explicitly noted but it seems like an instant temporary weight gain) where you can choose whether it primarily affects your lower half or your middle. The potion has an aphrodisiac effect and this is one of the sex(ish) scenes that doesn’t come with an opt out. I believe this is because it was integrated early on. It’s brief, two pages or so, but fun and is a clothes-on, no-insertion encounter. It’s nicely written and is probably the easiest way to make money fast in the game as well. Sex for Science is a funny theme for a scene and in the end she is doing this for her research. 

Baronet Laurent

One of the more creatureish designs, he’s a monster whose lower half is embedded/connected to the palanquin he travels in. His appearance is somewhat androgynous and he goes by He/Them. You can’t sleep with Laurent that I know of, but his scenes are delightfully weird and sensuous. You can pay him for services to expand your stomach capacity, add to your weight, increase your Gluttony, or donate your own adipose to him. If you are squicked by the idea of things like having things magically siphoned from your character’s body or inserted, it probably won’t be as appealing to you. He can also pop up in a couple of scenes in Cetacea, but I’ve yet to find a way to get more in depth scenes with him there or to raise his hearts. He’s the character I’m actually most hoping for more erotic content with since I find his scenes are really creative and I appreciate how enthusiastic he is about the whole deal. He really hopes to corrupt your character into the same hedonism as his Order, even if he doesn’t see it that way.

The Meat Monger

Another one I expect to be divisive. In the Deep Mire, you meet a mysterious man selling meat, masked in a gas mask to protect him from the mutagens in the air. He doesn’t talk and he seems ominous. If your character is larger, there is a risk of being captured by him and waking up suspended in his bunker, being fed a strange substance that had been keeping you docile until it runs empty. Side note, I’m not really in to tube feeding but I know it’s a pretty common kink. You guys will probably like this one. Despite the scary set up, your character can easily get up and leave whenever they want whenever the bag is empty. And if they voluntarily stick around a while, at the cost of putting on some extra pounds, they can get a sex scene with the Meat Monger, which is a belly-fucking scene. Afterward, there is also the option to get one of the Endings, where you voluntarily stick around to be fed and played with. There are references to extreme weight gain in this ending, until Lexi pops in to extract you and set you back to close to your initial weight from the encounter since you aren’t very useful to her strung up in a food dungeon.

And as for future updates, the NPC I’m actually hoping the most to romance, currently lacking erotic scenes, is Nico.

A solemn but empathetic shark man, Nico loves to give your character his homemade soup and spends his time trying to capture and help those in the harbor’s Old Town district who have fallen victim to demonic corruption beyond their ability to control. You can spend time with him by finding him setting out to go fishing on the sea shore, stopping by his shanty for soup, and in a short storyline you help him to help another NPC character who is stuck in Old Town, cursed to forever be helpless to her own hunger. When he warms up to you, you can ask him more personal questions about himself and his kind. He has a very gentle vibe about him with a desire to help others and take care of them that makes him seem very sweet. I can’t wait to kiss that fish.

The game is made with Twine and can be played in browser on itchio or downloaded from the page to be played offline for free.
