I saw an ad about it recently and want a spoiler free review. Is it interesting? Does it have good animations? Choices?
I've played Desert Stalker and loved it. There are also parts where you play as one of the female characters. It's clear why the dev didn't have any sex scenes with her as the player character. People will cry "NTR" and "cuck".
But I really think the game would have had much more of a character arc if the female character was the MC in that dark world.
Like the title says looking for steam fem avns. they can be ongoing or finished :) if you know any let me know
I like: Kate, Steps of Debauchery, Innocence or money
So submissive femmes with a dick is one of my niche interests. Always have been, I have even written fanfics centred around that. But it seems the primary trend is to make them dominant. Do you notice this too? Do you have reccomendations regarding this theme?
I know that they exist, can you recommend any games where the MC isn't being taken advantage of, and actually gets to enjoy all of the sex?
Optional: I'd especially like to hear about Fantasy or Sci-Fi like this.
Edit: Only 3 games?
Finished it yesterday and i pretty like it, slow burn corruption, great mc model and decent story, what do you think about it ?
So like the title I am looking for female MC games that are focused on lesbian romance or have a lesbian romance path that aren't those corruption copy paste FMC games that are all over the AVN space.
So far I really liked Actual Roommates
I played Jessica Oneil and I disliked it since while there are lesbian LI I hated the whole corruption turn the MC in to a slut focus aspect of the game.
I am just looking for some wholesome lesbian romance games or ones that have lesbian paths even if the game isn't focused only on lesbian LI.
List of other games I have played through:
2)Steps of Debauchery 3)Tales from the deep: Eve 4) Good Girl Gone Bad 5)Our red string
As you can see, I am looking for a fair bit of spice content with good animations. Themes can be dark or wholesome, it doesn't matter.
I just played the update to Village Slut transformation , kind of wanting to play another game like it. Always heard good things about Good Girl Gone Bad. Is it a slow burn or fast pace not wanting to play anything fast place right now if I play a corruption game.
Other slow burn corruption games ive liked Kate everything else ive tried been fast pace and I have to be in the mood for it.
So I've been hearing about this game for a while. Some say it has a good story, other's say it's just endless teasing with no spicy content after years of development. As of now, does it have enough content alongside the story?
As for Jessica O'Neil, I heard it hasn't gotten an update since a year, is it continuing? If so, is it going on a good pace?
To compare, I really liked Anna Exciting Affection, it has a good enough story with a lot of content, some of which are optional. I've been seeing ads of Steps of Debauchery as well. Do you reccomend it?
Fyi, please no RPGM game reccomendations.
I tried this game once, and didnt even finished it, cause i dont really like graphics, mc model, and story. Maybe im missing something? tell me why do you like it so much.
I like games like: Kate, IOM, inside jennifer, being a wife, moonripple lake, steps of debauchery
First of all, let me just say it's fantastic to see a sub-reddit specifically for female MC games! I hope this post is in tone with what this sub-reddit wants to explore, but I fully understand if you want to delete this post (@ moderators!), because it is an advertisement + devlog for our adult visual novel: Animus Non Grata, which we are releasing today!
This is a post aimed to give insight into the process, inspirations and story behind Animus Non Grata, an adult visual novel that’s been 2 years in the making. The game takes the player into the unique perspective of an AI android, who awakens without any previous memory of who she is, how she got there and what her purpose in life is.
Synopsis
A story-rich adult visual novel where desire meets rebellion. Awaken as an illegal AI android, torn between your programming and the fight for freedom. Will you embrace trust and passion, or carve your own path in a world that fears you? Discover terrifying secrets of the people around you, and your own past. Your journey as an Animus Non Grata starts now.
Background and inspiration
The story of Animus Non Grata is heavily inspired by “Westworld” and “Ex Machina”, and to a lesser extent “Her”. Being a heavy metal fan, the songs “Colossus” by Avatar and “AI” by Raubtier were the ones that finally kicked off the creative process. I wanted the story of Animus Non Grata to be a rollercoaster of emotions, a tale that sticks with the player, and hopefully makes them question the rapid rise of AI in everything around us. My first game, Jessica’s Plight, is a crude proof-of-concept with a bunch of issues, including its storyline and tone, in comparison to what I wanted ANG to be.
We see artificial intelligence popping up everywhere, like those with the capabilities to navigate the environment (autonomous vehicles, robots). There’s large language models that seem intelligent and can fetch information from other websites to enhance their answers (a process known as retrieval augmented generation). We have computer vision, where a computer can “see” the world around them.
The one thing common about AI today is that they are built for a very narrow set of tasks. It doesn’t take a lot of searching online to find countless of incidents of AI-related issues, from McDonald’s ordering AI adding 260 chicken nuggets to an order, to autonomous vehicles not recognizing pedestrians from trees (More examples here: https://www.cio.com/article/190888/5-famous-analytics-and-ai-disasters.html and https://www.thedoanlawfirm.com/blog/2019/april/problems-with-autonomous-vehicles-and-object-rec/).
In other words, AI is bad at operating outside their programmed and trained scenarios. We are expanding those scenarios with better training data, but still today the AI will essentially perform “unknowable” operations on situations that it hasn’t encountered before.
However, thankfully we are still far away from artificial general intelligence, which has been predicted to be everything from the end of humanity, to simply being an extremely tricky moral conundrum. What are the rights of an AGI? Should it be considered a free entity, or is it just a fancy computer? For more thoughts on the matter, I recommend the fantastic Kurzgesagt video on the topic of AI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa8k8IQ1_X0
To tie it all back to the story of Animus Non Grata: We have websites offering AI girlfriends to people popping up by the dozen already, and human-like robots being created even today. Outside the realm of technology we have blow-up dolls, which in 2023 was a 6835 million dollar industry. Combine all of those things, and you get the dystopian premise of Animus Non Grata.
Story details
The background above explains my concern about the future of AI research and its applications. And this is exactly the premise of Animus Non Grata - a world where human-like androids were built specifically for being someone’s girlfriend and/or sex partner seems closer than ever.
However, in the story there was backlash to the rise of androids with general intelligence. Hence, the protagonist of the story is an illegal AI - marked for being decommissioned, but saved by a rogue researcher who snuck her away and hid her in the country-side.
The story of ANG is centered around conflict and contradiction:
We have an android - the player - who has their own ideas, a will to live, a curiosity about the world and a desire to be free. Yet, they are an illegal entity that would be destroyed if anyone found out they existed. But the main character also has a narrow programming. They were not built to be free and live a normal life. They were built for one purpose only: Sexual pleasure. You’re nothing more than a fancy blow-up doll.
The story is also one of uncertainty. An unreliable narrator, making it impossible to know who or what to trust:
Imagine that you wake up without a memory right now, in an unknown place. You’d be terrified, but even more so if someone tells you you’re an android. That you aren’t a real human, even though you can clearly see in a mirror that you look exactly like a human. Would you believe them? What kind of evidence would be needed to convince you? These are just some of the questions explored in the opening chapter of Animus Non Grata. Throughout the game, new evidence comes to light from other sources of information that may lead you down a spiral of paranoia, questioning everything you’ve heard. Or, you may choose to anchor your world around the one constant thing - the man who has saved you from destruction, and claims he wants to help you.
Which opens up another contradiction in the story:
Your narrow behavioural matrix has not been designed for living like a human. Throughout the story, you have an option to embrace or fight against your programming. Where do these thoughts come from? Are they your own, or is it just your programming telling you how you should feel, what you should do? What is you - the real you - and what is simply pre-programmed behaviour? It’s impossible to know. But one thing is certain - it does not help that the man who helped you is initially scared of your programming, and what will happen if you act outside of the intended behavioural matrix. Thus, he enforces a strict world order, where he treats you as you’re intended: As a blow-up doll that should be used. How can you trust a man who treats you like that? Sure, he claims it’s for your own safety - but is it? What are his real motivations for saving you?
Early version
I started writing Animus Non Grata in the beginning of 2023. Back then it was called AAIA-#27167 (short for Advanced Artificial Intelligence Android, followed by Amanda’s serial number). When I started, I wrote only for myself, exploring a unique theme and setting I hadn't seen in other games. On April 19th 2023, the first version of the game was released to the public on itch.io, containing a purely text-based version of the game with only Sequence 0 available.
The first few versions of the games were text-only. It was also a free-to-play browser game for quite a long time.
Art
Around June 2023, I decided I wanted the game to be more than a text-based experience. But I also knew that my own talents would not be enough to do justice to the story I was writing (just look at the garbage in Jessica’s Plight, that’s the level I’m at!). I reached out on various forums, asking if there was someone out there who'd want to join me on this project. I'm so glad I was contacted by Synthetic Rush, whose enthusiasm for the project was incredible right from the start! The images he created looked truly stunning, bringing the game to life in ways that are beyond what I could've hoped for!
It all started with concept arts, creating the visual looks for the characters. We decided to make Amanda (the main character) look as human as possible - no exaggerated features, no robotic visuals (except her energy meter). The humanity of her should shine through, even though she is an android. At the same we wanted the main male character to look relatable, yet hard, to drive home the dual tracks explored in the game.
Amanda - The player character.
Development & Engine
The game is built using Twine - a tool for creating interactive fiction. The project file is both the “source file” and the “actual game” at the same time: It’s an .html file that is ideal for publishing the game as a browser game. If players download an “offline” version of the game, it means they double-click on the .html file and open it in their own default browser (firefox, chrome, etc.).
The engine we initially wrote the game in was Harlowe, but it did not contain built-in save/load functionality, and scripting in it was tedious at best. Eventually I switched to SugarCube 2 - something I highly recommend for everyone. This allowed players to save and load their progress without me needing to specifically program it. A massive time-save!
Building for Steam was initially never in the scope of this project, as Steam wants executables. It turns out there’s a tool by an awesome github user that converts the html into an executable! Neat! Now we finally had a way of packaging the game into a standalone version that could run locally on the user’s PC without opening the game in a separate browser - and fully compatible with the way Steam works!
Current version & Release
The road to release has certainly been long. Or so it feels, even though it’s just 2 years of development. Some indie games take a lot longer than that, but this is a fairly simple game after all with a focus on the story, rather than mechanics.
I set out to write a story with a surreal perspective: An near-future alternative reality, which could feasibly arrive in just a decade. Will we find ourselves waking up in a dystopian future like the one depicted in the game? Let's hope not... At the very least, I want Animus Non Grata to make us all think of the kind of future we want, should artificial general intelligence someday be reality.
We have received an enormous amount of positive feedback for the game’s writing and visuals, and we’re incredibly proud to finally deliver the official launch version of the game. It’s more than an adult visual novel - it’s a thriller, with a warning message, and we hope it stands out. With all that said, we’re releasing on December 3rd 2024 (Today)!
