Trap Quest
A downloadable game for Windows
Trap Quest is an erotic text-heavy turn-based clickable-text-input roguelike game which can be run in Windows, older versions of MacOS (newer versions have to use the glitchy Gargoyle or emulate Windows) , Linux, and (to some lesser extent) Android and iOS. Its premise is that you're playing a very difficult virtual reality game and your body and mind are transformed in response to the events that happen in the game while you search for the exit. The primary type of transformation in the game is 'bimbofication', a bimbo being a superficial person whose appearance, attire and behaviour is overtly sexually provocative. You can choose to play as male or female; for a male character this transformation can include sexual reorientation and/or actual biological transformation into a woman (depending on your game options selections) and will always include feminization, including the wearing of highly feminine and revealing clothing. Other transformation content that can be enabled/disabled includes but is not limited to:
- Pregnancy
- Lactation
- Weight gain
- Extreme proportions
- Artificial enhancements (breast implants, lip augmentation, etc…)
- Air inflation
- Tentacles & other inhuman creatures
The game is built around a robust set of game mechanics that I’ve been working with the player community over 10 years (and counting) to perfect and balance, including:
- Traps
- Combat (with a large variety of non-player characters, each with their own unique traits and lots of varied art)
- Inventory management
- Humiliation level management
- Exhaustion/health/arousal management
- Hunger and thirst
- Potions, food, and drinks with positive/negative/transformative effects
- Crafting
- Uncursing/blessing/durability/transformation of clothing and items
- Cravings/obsessions that get reinforced when satisfied
- Themed character classes with their own mechanics
- Allies and bosses
- An NPC favor/hostility system
- A shop system
- Interactive environments
- Optional sub-quests
- A map display that’s revealed as you explore
- An interactive character display window that toggles between depicting your current body proportions or your current clothing.
The level layouts, crafting recipes, and loot selection and enchantments are randomized in every playthrough, and this, combined with the absolutely huge amount of content that's been added over a decade, makes the game infinitely replayable. Playthroughs typically last between 2 and 5 hours, but your first run will take a long time as you get used to everything.
The game is designed to be very difficult. While it’s possible for your character to successfully reach the exit as the same person they were when they started, in practice this never happens. The game is designed to overwhelm and disempower you, and punish you for the compromising choices you’ve had to make. The object is to, through its mechanics, immerse you in your character's feelings of submission. This is not a game that you’re supposed to win; it’s a game that’s supposed to beat you and make that experience enjoyable.

I take a look at comments to see if someone has already asked what I would like to, and I find a warzone. I am so sorry you have to deal with this in a fetish community.
Any way, is the dialogue tied to how we make our characters by any chance? I admittedly was not fond of the stuck-up character I was playing as (nor of her "feminism" comment - personally not a thing I think of as a woman, especially not about other women - you do you, boo). If it's not possible nor planned, I won't push the issue - it was just something that bothered me and was wondering if that could be changed in the character building phase somehow.
For the sake of not wasting your time with a diatribe you probably wouldn't care much for, what did her comment say, I presume the one in the detailed status window? I can help you give a estimation of the reason why once I've been told, just been a while since I've played this game and don't remember EVERY single detail.
As the description on the page here says: "The primary type of transformation in the game is 'bimbofication'"
So of course the outset of the game is being not a bimbo. In other words, stuck-up.
I agree, if you configure certain kink options, you could expect the character to have different starting opinions on the scantily clad ladies at the beginning. Especially if you configure the exhibitionism trait. But I think this one panel just serves as establishing that the character is not starting as a bimbo. Those colored lines are thoughts of the character on topics throughout the game. And the deeper you dive into a particular fetish, the more favorable the comments get, when encountering the fetish topic. Those traps and engaging in activities change your disposition.
That "warzone" is just a troll being a troll. Making some allegations about views of lgbt people on the game, and failing to see what you did: that this is a fetish game. lgbt is not a fetish the same way straight is not a fetish. It can be fetishizied of course, but it's usually not.
LMFAO the thumbnail looks like it says crap quest
Good name for the community and evidently admins, I'd reckon!
I never noticed ... but BRU ... CRAP QUESC ...
What has been seen ... can not be unseen ...
LMAO, "QUESC" didn't even catch that!
BTW, interesting and nice tastes in games judging by your posts!
I just say ... if you point out that T looks like C ... turning Trap to Crap ... you can´t simply ignore the last one ...
I have a wide range of interests ... be it movies, music or games ... mostly handpicked from different genres ... depending on my mood and time at hand ...
Same here. Favorite adult games you've played? IMO, my least favorite are ones with tons of grind, like many RPG Maker games, or ones with weird and/or cringey communities.
Measured by the time I spend with ... definitely Fallout 4 (until Bethesda broke it) and Skyrim LE ... and there is Trap Quest ... I stick to this game since 2016/2017 ...
Sometimes I miss the porn version ... though some pictures were disturbing/disgusting (it´s one thing, to read about extreme body proportions or gaping holes ... seeing pictures of that is a hole different thing) ... it had to be stopped because of (possible) issues with legal rights of depicted persons and their bodyparts ...
Do admire the mean spiritedness of this game, like in the good ole days in the early 2000s and 90s: public humiliation like on talk shows like the Howard Stern show, Jerry Springer, etc. Definitely a time I remember fondly and definitely one I'm glad is making a comeback!
Just wanted to say that I love this game and appreciate you continuing to develop it. It's a phenomenal achievement.
Also, sorry to see the comments overrun by one person who keeps insisting that huge swathes of the LGBT community are put-off by the game instead of just stating what they personally dislike about it. (As if vast numbers of people are even aware of the game!) I'm guessing this person is on the younger side. I've always felt like the feminization fetish is a product of my (our?) generation -- folks who grew up in the 80's and 90's, a time of extreme homophobia (and hate of all things "deviant"). It's a way to delicately navigate our genuine desires without bumping into the very real fear of ostracization. i.e. within the fantasy of the fetish it "isn't really a choice" sidestepping deep old feelings that I'll lose all my family, friends, and community because it's "wrong". I think the prevalence of the fetish may reduce in this new inclusive generation. But this is all just my opinion and speculation.
Aika, thank you so much for this game. I hope all these crazy comments don't bring you down. I don't think there's any game I've played or enjoyed so much. Also, I'd love to hear any updates about the potential new engine! I know that's a huge thing but it's also what I think would really catapult the game.
Quite rude, don't you think? In my 30s, actually. And that's my point exactly: aspects of this particular desires is antiquated and off putting to MANY in the younger, but also older, generations. And like I also said, I just suggested to keep other's feelings and experiences in mind as society evolves, or devolves in some aspects unfortunately. Plus, "(As if vast numbers of people are even aware of the game!)" would imply it IS a smaller niche than most to this extreme. Your wording, not mine, but obviously don't mean any disrespect.
In essence, it's not my thing, I've played it, find it rather distasteful, think it attracts a certain crowd, but never implied Aika or LGBT+ or nonbinary people who enjoy this are degenerates, just to clarify. And I don't think I'm spamming comments, just merely responding to people's posts to me, and just feel for as inclusive this community claims to be, the vitriol I got towards me stating an opinion as a opinion was unwarranted, I feel. But besides the point. Here's to hoping for a better tomorrow.
I'm sorry, I just don't agree that any of us can authoritatively speak for "MANY in the younger, but also older, generations". Without knowing you, I can't give that any weight.
But you can authoritatively speak for yourself. May I ask: what do YOU think? What is your actual criticism of the game? What specific aspect, character, premise, mechanism, or other element of the game do you take issue with?
(I have read your comments, unfortunately the most descriptive bits I could find, like: "it's not my thing", "distasteful", "attracts a certain crowd" "clean up... the game" "troubling" "repulsive" "problematic and counter-intuitive" "highly upsetting" don't help me understand your actual concern. Those same comments could have been made by an extreme animal rights activist upset about the depiction of the dog, someone who believes that cosmetic surgery is immoral, someone offended by fantasies involving control or domination, someone who believes that all porn is harmful and evil.. the list goes on. I truly don't mean this insultingly, merely to illustrate why I haven't understood your concerns from what you've previously written.)
No offence taken, and well to avoid me typing up a whole paragraph that ends up just as vague, by all means ask me in whatever order you want and I can give you answers in a bullet-board manner! Apologies if my original overview seemed vague, didn't want it to be a essay but have just enough context to let people know my stance, but feel free to ask for elaboration as I've said! And thank you for not immediately jumping on me and saying how my opinion is unwanted and toxic, it's really refreshing!
And, true, to be honest NO ONE can 100% be guaranteed to KNOW how a specific community feels on average, all we can do is make educated guesses!
Sure, I'll list some questions if it helps :)
1-2. My main criticism is that the games overall excecute of its theme, especially in relation to the prologues and other flavor texts, is really mean spirited and potentially, very likely in my opinion, very bad tastefully to the larger LGBT demographic and like it attracts the more unsavory crowd. Of course it's just my opinion, but outside of this particular community I think it's true. But stated the developer of the game has the right to have the game in any shape that they want, but what I don't get is then being surprised or denying it attracts a said certain crowd of the more, antagonistic kind. The actual game mechanics as I've said are functionally unique and like how it's a rogue-like so on a purely aesthetic and mechanical level I got no complaints.
3. As for homophobic and transphobic, going to give a few examples but think you agree the main "draw" of these kinds of projects is the objectification and primal, raw, ugly lust that is latent in every human. Which normally it's just like "Oh, not my thing but to each their own!" but in this particular instance I think it would be smart to step back and really think about what they're into, why they like it, and why they're consuming/making it. For example, I know one of the endings, think "Rich Shemale," is self-explanatory. Another is the constant use of the word "faggot." And especially playing as a male character, the mechanic of them of becoming more and more feminized means more harshly treated and treated like "corruption" and/or something bad, think it's safe to say it's just part of the beast. Oh and the name in the first place, "Trap," which makes the title change more peculiar since they still have all that other stuff, not complaining though they're sanitizing the game.
4. Actually think that a male character who likes their masculinity or a woman character who doesn't care for or like girly things getting feminized and/or "sissified" one way or another makes room for a LOT of story telling, and of course hotness, potential. Every thing else, which may or may not be my thing, I'm actually fine with. Of course raceplay is peculiar and absolutely not my thing, but it's better than BWC at least, otherwise I'd have a bigger problem with it I think. But it's fine, it's whatever, though the more I stop and think about it the more and more I have a problem with it, so definitely put a "*" next to that. I either toggle it off or get a chuckle out of it, nothing offensive to me from any of those. In essence, most of the fetishes are whatever and not the subject of my criticism, but mainly the execution of those core ones gives me some lingering thoughts.
Also, I assume you're in good faith because if you didn't know, autogynephilia is a bit of a slur word thrown around at LGBTQT+ people, plus don't see how it's in game unless you're referring to people who get aroused at being feminized? Describe more what you mean, DJ if I can call you that.
Well, good, hopefully they clean up more of the game and community, and hopefully they'll keep that in mind for future projects.
You were banned for pressing the issue after being given an answer by a mod, and then a warning. Please consider that when you're brand new to a community, nobody owes you their time or patience. When you storm in as a newbie acting entitled to those things, you should expect to be met with coldness. I would recommend you consider that perspective when planning similarly sealioning-adjacent first posts in other communities.
I'm glad you're making changes to make my community feel welcomed, hopefully this is a learning experience in the future of who you market your game towards. Wish you would've respond a month ago to the reply to the post, but still I am glad you're taking my advice to heart.
Notice how he NEVER responds to the critism or main talking points, so please Aika, as the persoon affected, go into the nitty gritty details since you think you and your mod team are SO in the right, surely it's a slam dunk huh? Exactly, AT LEAST you and your staff are just as much in the wrong as I am, but you're not adult to admit that, so I think until you can refute that, no, you can't claim victory. So go on, own me.
PS. Using fancy words doesn't make your argument any less weak.
Lmao, seen the other dude's posts a couple weeks ago, bet he's sweeping any negative reviews.
Is cheat available in patreon and subscribestar or is just available for everyone for free?
To cheat and use other cool debug commands, you must pay us for the privilege!
It has been a paid feature for over a decade
how do you remove implants?
That's the neat bit, you don't!
Oooh, take it you love women like Chelsea Charms and Foxy Menagerie Verre than?
Please dont click on the suspended account's external link. Remember, that shit is a scam and probably a virus.
love the game. first time I am experiencing the Halloween stuff. not sure how I feel about it though might prefer the normal set pieces. although i may be biased as I am not a fan of Halloween in general
So, is the tutorial just broken? solemn royal guard just creampied my ass and now I can't do anything but going east. Can't stand up because the game tells me to only do that when instructed. Can take the glass in my hand but can't use it because I'd need to be standing up, can't talk to the guard, can't resist, can't steal from the guard, can't do anything. And if I go east, the tutorial wants me to put the swimsuit, that the guard stole from me and that I was unable to get back, on the altar. And I can't go back to the guard because "there's no going back in this tutorial"
Oh no, the new updates to NPC behaviour are possibly breaking the tutorial if you get unlucky, sorry
+1 on this have the same issue
edit found out how to solve it after resisting try to stand up instead of resisting again than you will manage to not loose it and can leave the room
Does anyone have the custom fab.ini file for fabularium? The link in the help files no longer works and I can't figure out the settings for black background and white text 😕
Not to bother you, are you the same bambiblowupdoll from Tumblr?
is there a way to get older versions?
Mechanically a good game and it's clearly a passion project from my research and the half-dozen hours I experimented with. But from a social and cultural standpoint, especially in this current landscape, the topics and said execution of said topics is problematic and counter-intuitive. Yes I know you have a disclaimer, but feel it's a cope-out, and I feel attacked and repulsed just by the idea of someone making a game for others also into said troubling interests to play with, cultivating many bad actors no doubt. This just isn't it and I got so many thoughts and emotions I want to put into words but I can't. I wish you well, but I'd urge you to reconsider that expressing things and topics like this, THIS WAY ESPECIALLY, is highly unsettling to non-binary, non-heterosexual identifying people and implore you to do better.
Simple, do not like it, do not play it. Political correctness ruins games.
And see, this is the kind of audience this game invites. Only "anti-woke" grifters use political correctness
And people downvoting my comment, you do realize the community around this game is what you'd consider "woke" right? Yet it seems only I'm getting the blame for this like the creators and developers aren't on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum as you. How curious.
I really don't think that's why you're being downvoted.
If I had to guess about why you're being downvoted so heavily, it's because a lot of LGBTQ+ people love and enjoy the game the way it is, because of the way it is... And they see you as a threat to the content they enjoy.
If Aika starts making the game more acceptable to people like you, a lot of current fans of the game won't enjoy it anymore. This has happened with other games in the past, such as 'Perverted Education', which for a while removed large swathes of content due to censorship rules on Patreon regarding hypnosis.
A lot of people were upset that the player character was no longer coerced against his will to be feminized, hypnotized, and so on, with such scenes instead being replaced with content where the player character blushed and would hesitantly admit that they were into it and ask for the other characters to please do it to him.
When they finally moved all the way over to SubscribeStar and restored the old content, a lot of the community never came back because they were burned out from how the game didn't represent them anymore. I think most of them still don't know that the content has finally been re-added.
Nobody wants that to also happen to TrapQuest, but that is what you are proposing to do: tame the game down, remove the outright rape, dehumanization, etc., and make it an example of a game that evil conservative 'christians' can't point to when screaming about saving the children from the evil pronoun genders.. As if that would actually stop them from doing so anyway.
OK, so you'd hate him changing the name of the game to "Trnasformation Quest" to appeal to more LGTQT+ people? So if I can show you the plethora of people who find subjects related of this game to be offensive, they're still wrong?
"remove the outright rape, dehumanization, etc.," Maybe it's fucked many are resorting to coping in this space to fucked shit like that? Do you have any idea how you sound to the NON-perverted/most LGBTQT community? Stop meat riding Aika.
That troll is being downvoted for trolling.
Also for claiming to speak for a group of people. Writing all those comments took more time than playing the game - for research.
But mostly for crapping on the people that play the game for fun.
Transformations and kinks in the game are highly configurable and our researcher seems to have failed to realize that. I only see BS about lgbt.
What about weight gain. Implants. Tattoos, piercings. Generall bimbo sluttery. Air inflation. Tentacles. All the sexual fetisch acts. None of that has any bearing on sexual preference or idenity. No l, g, b or t in all of that.
it's ten years old, seriously look into it, this game is over ten years old. If you don't like it don't play it, there's enough other titles out there that cater to what you seem to want. Go play those
What does the game being ten years old have to do with anything, exactly?
It being ten years old means there are so many variables to change that the game would be broken by the censorship you want implemented, destroying a decades worth of work. The game engine used is very hard to use in the manner it is used by the developers. Programming is not simple text editing, which you seem to be under the impression by your posts.
So in your opinion, programming < treating delicate subjects with any amount of respect? Sorry, don't mean to be rude but you go your priorities all mixed up.
None of the subjects your talking about are delicate, and respect is earned not given
As a non-binary non-heterosexual person myself, you do not speak for me!
I enjoy this game because it is a fantasy happening in private spaces with consenting adults. I don't like some of the things in the game, such as the age-play and race-play, but this game is nowhere near a hate spewing ignorance machine.
If you don't like the content, then speak for only yourself, NOT FOR OTHERS!
Let me ask you this: in a time where nonbinary people at their most vulnerable, their rights trampled over, be actually honest with yourself and tell me if most in the LGBTQ+ space wouldn't find this games themes offensive? The author has practically tried to put in a "disclaimer" to say "OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME SHOULD BE KEPT IN FANTASY," which tells me they feel guilty their game is contributing to homophobia, transphobia, but are too porn-brained to realize it. Tell me how that makes sense, with all due respect.
Fantasy is fantasy, if you can not separate fiction from nonfiction you have serious personal issues. As said before do not like, do not play. Your views have lead to game censorship when unopposed in the past. Collective Shout a key example of a small group of individuals (from Australia) who are considered extremists who have damaged gaming recently.
Oh really, so you're not at all disgusted by the fact that many, MANY bigots and extremists use media like this to justify their views and pass unjust laws? And by the way, if the creator of this game, Aika, has to put such a disclaimer on said game, than it should stand to reason that it's because it's promoting hurtful, toxic ideology and that many people who believe in such, whether they get off on the game or not for hypocritical reasons but I digress, use this as justification and/or clearly CAN'T seperate reality from fiction. If people would just say that this game contributes to toxicity but it gets them hard and it's a shameful, guilty pleasure, than that I could atleast get. But this ain't it. To many on the outside, it makes people like us look like we WANT to be treated like this, like it's just a sexual kink to us and not because of our own identity. One wrong doesn't justify fetishizing our experience, and quite honestly how can YOU not feel shame for sexualing and fetishizing the experiences of people in the LGBTQT+ community? I think my stance is a normal, default stance in that respect.
The disclaimer by Aika is what makes it clear this is a fetish game so people will know it may contain content that is taking place fictionally they may not like so ANYONE that may take offence that continues playing, any and all offence is on the player.
I and others can keep what happens in a fictional setting in the fictional setting, apart from the real world. Your inability to separate what occurs in the game from the real world indicate something in your life is severely wrong. I talked to others about this game, those who had no clue it existed and are conservative, and their reactions to your posts are "That person is getting that worked up over something make believe and that they can just ignore?"
A very good question is this: If you get this worked up over this why are you on this website in the first place? Just leave since just being here disturbs you so much. Stop obsessing about the game and move on with your life. Touch grass, see a movie, go to a park, etc; move on from this.
If I saw some of the stuff in the game in real life I would be disturbed, but note I said in REAL life. What happens in the game is fiction, not real.
the only extremist or bigot here is you.
there are far more important things to focus on. dont bother going around fetish spaces policing what folks can or cant enjoy, you're not going to make any kind of "progress". i implore you to spend your energy on stuff that will actually make a difference... speculating on the possible harm a piece of random fetish content could have doesnt exactly fall in that category.
this is genuinely just fetish stuff, and it isnt for everyone, no, but it doesnt mean its immediately harmful. people have fucked up fetishes. you cant stop that. im a bisexual transgender woman, and sure, yeah, i got some fucked up fetishes, but i wouldnt act on any of it if you paid me a million bucks to do so. this is a healthy way of expressing it, 'n honestly, this is a fairly tame!
But you admit it's fucked up and is offensive to the vast majority of LGBTQ+ people like myself? If so than at least we agree on that core point. And the thing is, just because YOU wouldn't act on it, doesn't mean from the outside, cis people or bigots won't get a bad impression from us. Like we're just a fetish. And this is FAR from tame. Ask any trans and/or nonbinary person outside of the fetish space and tell them about this game and the core demographic of said game and I bet you'd get answers you didn't expect.
And god forbid trans people like myself can find safe spaces when the real world is a steaming pile of dogturd for the vast majority of us. No, just because a select few nonbinary or trans people like this game doesn't make it alright or invalidate most others who see this and immediately cringe in disgust.
Going X fictional media is offensive it should not exist is a slippery slope that leads to LGBTQ being removed entirely, it has happened it will happen and it continues to happen. Look at collective shout for example they want to remove all instances of women and children from gaming entirely and the first step was to try to make it so all adult media gets removed which payment processors easily agreed to.
Slippery slope has been reached as payment processors have stuck their hands in how Steam does game update process for early access. Adult games in early access now are nearly impossible to update if the developers want to update/add adult content to existing.
Are you cis? Just curious, because sounds to me you care about more if whether or not your fetish porn games are available than the mental health and real life affects it has on the LGBTQT+ community. Could you clarify?
Terrible comment. Does GTA make people into criminals? This debate is old and tired. You lost it probably before you were born. No one is attacking you. No one is forcing you to play. Go do something else and stop moralizing.
And hence, comments are showing the audience for this game it appears, had been hopeful but appears not. It's what I expected.
you're getting the trolls like you wanted to
Trolls? I think they're being serious, look at the upvotes in their post.
Oh go fuck a cactus, you whining little freak
"Freak?" Hmm, wonder what you're referring to by that: care to elaborate?
Sure, I was insulting you. That's all there is to it.
Why am I a freak? Because I'm nonbinary or trans or gay?
No, simply because thats the insult I chose to use.
You may dislike hearing this but your argument is very similar to that of Collective Shout. They argue that porn for straight men should not exist because they believe it's fuelling misogyny and encouraging the objectification of women, and you argue that TQ and presumably other games indulging in fantasies of sex transformation should not exist because you believe they are fuelling transphobia and the objectification of queer folk. We are not going to try and change your opinion or Collective Shout's opinion on any of this, but we think you'll find that within kink communities, yucking others' yums isn't very welcome, and the demographic of people consuming and enjoying such content may not actually be as straightforward as you thought it was, based on projecting your own personal tastes and assuming that everyone within your demographic would feel the same way. Furthermore, no, it's not rough porn creating sexists, it's not violent videogames creating thugs, and it's not TQ creating transphobes. They were already here, they're ironically more prevalent in countries where our content is banned, and in any case, studies have been unable to show a causal link. We're sorry that the world sucks right now, in fact more than sorry, we're angry, too, but we're not sorry that our game makes you feel uncomfortable. This is a sacred space of fetish and fantasy where anything between sane, enthusiastically consenting adults is not only permitted, but revered.
Than why have that disclaimer if you're not worried about the wrong crowd using your games to get their rocks off? And while I appreciate you trying to have solidarity with nonbinary folks like me, I think it's a stretch to say most WOULDN'T have a problem with your themes. Even if the game isn't creating problimatic people and attitudes, it's still beyond insensitive and insulting to the trans experience, mine included. And if you value consent so much, why do you lust after forced stuff? You saying a small part of you doesn't want that? So apologies if I don't buy your "we're sorry you feel that way" and quite frankly, it's a bit insulting. Isn't Aika nonbinary or the like? That's just sick in my opinion, we should all be in this together but your stance, let's be real here, is offputting to most non-cisgendered people, don't sugarcoat it. One last question: when people not in this community see mediums like this, and look at the kinds of people into these kinds of games, don't you think they're going to think that this is all just a sexual fetishes and that trans people are all just weirdos and are "asking to get degraded?" Fuel to the fire as they say? I eagerly await your response, if there is any.
> Than why have that disclaimer if you're not worried about the wrong crowd using your games to get their rocks off?
Disclaimers are so that people who would have the mood ruined by this stuff, don't try to get their rocks off and then encounter something that ruins their mood.
Assuming they aren't underage (or in a mental state where playing this game can be psychologically damaging), if someone can get their rocks off to this game, then they are - by definition - not part of 'the wrong crowd'. If they are in a mental state where playing this game would be damaging to their mental health, then they should have paid attention to the warning.
> Even if the game isn't creating problimatic people and attitudes, it's still beyond insensitive and insulting to the trans experience, mine included.
This is why the disclaimer exists. If you find it insulting, you can simply not look at it.
> And if you value consent so much, why do you lust after forced stuff?
Have you ever encountered a mean person in real life, and really really wanted to just punch them in the face?
Have you ever played an action game where you had a character that could destroy swarms of enemies with magic powers or weapons of some sort?
Would you consider people who do play such games as 'lusting after violence'?
Fantasy is separate from reality. You can fantasize about punching mean morons, and about blasting hoards of demonic aliens with plasma guns, while also thinking that it would be horrible for people to be allowed to assault each other just for being mean (imagine if 'they were mean to me' could be said in court to have charges dropped against you; now imagine what people could do to you if they knew such a thing worked), and also thinking it would be horrible for alien demons to actually invade reality, and that such extreme weapons should not be created because realistically they'd be created to be used against other human people.
In a game, you can always stop playing if something happens you don't consent to. You consented to playing the game, because if you didn't then you would not be playing the game. If someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to play the game, that is not the game's fault. That is the fault of the person holding a gun to your head to force you to play it.
> So apologies if I don't buy your "we're sorry you feel that way" and quite frankly, it's a bit insulting.
If you find that insulting, that says a lot more about you than it does about them.
> That's just sick in my opinion, we should all be in this together but your stance, let's be real here, is offputting to most non-cisgendered people, don't sugarcoat it.
Do you know what's sick? Trying to change art you don't like so that bigots who will hate the art no matter how it's changed will hate it slightly less, or have a slightly harder time using it as propaganda against LGBTQ+ people. In reality, they will treat anything with any relation to LGBTQ+ people as something to destroy.
It's sick because it acts like a sickness, a disease, within the community. It spreads a chilling effect, where people become afraid to express themselves freely. It encourages division within the community, and tears us apart from within.
We are all in this together, except for those of us who want to use our differences against us to divide us. Those that want to make us afraid to express our weird kinky selves, and instead feel compelled to look upstanding and non-problematic and thus marketable to a wider audience.
Such behavior does not make us stronger. It makes us weaker. It makes us more prone to being censored and marked as outcast freaks who shouldn't be allowed in the rest of society, because it drives us apart from each other.
We need to embrace our differences, celebrate them even, not try to stamp out anything that mainstream audiences would be uncomfortable with.
> One last question: when people not in this community see mediums like this, and look at the kinds of people into these kinds of games, don't you think they're going to think that this is all just a sexual fetishes and that trans people are all just weirdos and are "asking to get degraded?" Fuel to the fire as they say?
They already think this. They'd think this whether or not this game existed, or any other game like it. Hell, if we go back in time and we make it so that history is mostly the same, but somehow porn itself never existed and thus trans porn never existed, and trans people were exactly as SFW as cis people... Bigots against trans people would still think this about trans and non-binary people.
Sure, many of them will use games like this as 'proof' of their bullshit claims, but these games were never the reason why they believed such things to begin with. They found these games as a result of looking for evidence of their already-formed beliefs. If these games didn't exist, and porn didn't exist, and they had no proof? They would still believe what they do, and they would just find something else to use for 'proof'.
I already gave a more comprehensive example of this in one of my other replies to you.
> I eagerly await your response, if there is any.
They never needed to respond to you to begin with. They have no obligation to explain themselves to you.
In fact, the primary reason why I've responded to you, is that this is a topic that is dearly important to me. I'm actually pissed off at some of the replies you've gotten that claim there are 'more important issues in the world', when censorship of art is one of the most (though definitely not the most) important issues on the planet right now. I'd say it's definitely in the top 100 most horrific evils in modern times.
And you are perpetuating it. You are perpetuating horrific evil, and I happen to have a wide range of arguments against this particular form of evil.
There may be plenty of other commenters replying to you to defend this game, but you are one of the only ones who seems to be tirelessly replying to everyone. That puts them at a major disadvantage, but it also means that you put at least enough thought into your responses that you have to actually consider the arguments being made.
Even if your counter-arguments are often contradicting each other and it's very likely you are arguing in bad faith and have no intention of ever having your mind changed, your willingness to debate raises the chances that you are just severely misguided quite a bit.
So here I am, also willing to debate, despite how evil you appear to be to me.
Firstly, disagree with all your points. Secondly, you're acting like I was rude. Hey, guess what, I wasn't, merely giving my opinion and than people got defensive over it despite "wanting the community to feel inclusive." So no, don't buy it. And quite with YOUR passive-aggressive tone, if you're not trans IMO your opinion is less valid when it comes to these subjects. Do NOT mansplain it to me.
What do you mean by 'disagree with all your points'?
The very first point I bring up is that you misunderstood what the purpose of disclaimers are. The purpose of a disclaimer like that is very well understood and is not something to 'agree' or 'disagree' on, you either understand it or you don't.
If you think the disclaimer is for something else, you'll have to provide an analysis for why I'm wrong about its purpose. As an example template for such an analysis, I shall include one below for why I disagree with your definition.
Firstly, lets look at what the disclaimer can and can't do.
It can tell users what types of content are in the game, before they play the game. This gives users the chance to decide not to play the game, since they now know what sorts of content are in it. In this way, it gives players who play the game informed consent. That's about all it can actually do, though.
What it cannot do is prevent someone from playing the game. It also cannot hide what sort of content is in the game; it is explicitly designed to do the opposite, so that any types of content that someone might want to (or should) avoid are disclosed before they play it.
In short, it's incapable of filtering who plays the game, but it does make it possible for potential players to filter themselves.
So, lets look at the statement you made in your previous post:
> Than why have that disclaimer if you're not worried about the wrong crowd using your games to get their rocks off?
Lets say Shame Games did make the disclaimer because they were worried about the wrong crowd using their games to get their rocks off.
According to the premise of the statement, this group of people ('the wrong crowd') would apparently be able to 'get their rocks off' from the content of the game. If this were not the case, then there would be no worry.
So you are asserting that the purpose of the disclaimer is to prevent 'the wrong crowd' from 'getting their rocks off'. The only way that the game would help 'the wrong crowd' do this, is if 'the wrong crowd' played the game.
But we can already know for a fact that a disclaimer cannot prevent someone from playing the game, so that cannot be the purpose of the disclaimer.
Alternatively, perhaps 'get their rocks off' was a euphemism that actually means 'enjoy themselves' very loosely, and 'the wrong crowd' doesn't refer to players, but instead to people who want to spread hatred and bigotry against the LGBTQ+ community. In such a scenario, this 'wrong crowd' would 'enjoy themselves' by running a successful smear campaign against the LGBTQ+ community, in which they spread their hatred successfully.
While a bit of a stretch, that does seem to align with a few of the other things in your posts, so I figure I may as well address this possibility explicitly.
Under this scenario, your statement would be asserting that the purpose of the disclaimer is to prevent people bigoted against the LGBTQ+ community from using the game as ammunition against the LGBTQ+ community.
However, bigots will do whatever they can to run such smear campaigns, even claim that LGBTQ+ inclusive children's books that are 100% safe for work are literally porn being shown to children by force. That is not a hypothetical absurdist example either, that is something that has literally happened, with no exaggeration.
They will call things porn, even when they are not at all related to porn in any way, shape, or form. They will go to every possible length to label all porn as evil and to be abolished. They would do that with this game without even playing it, just looking at the name alone and labeling it obvious porn intended to brainwash people into becoming predators, even though the only true part of such a statement is that it's obvious porn.
It is not possible for a disclaimer to prevent or even diminish the impact of such bigots and their efforts to smear the entire LGBTQ+ community. And because it's not possible for a disclaimer to do that, it's impossible for that to be the purpose for such a disclaimer.
Now, it's also possible that you have meant some third way to interpret that particular sentence, but I cannot think of any other ways to interpret it. Feel free to respond with a clarification.
Motherfucker trying to excuse trans getting raped IRL, get the fuck out of here.
I would never excuse such a thing. Such things are horrific when they happen, especially because of the psychological impact that such things have.
That's why I exclusively focus on the preservation and creation of fictional content.
And yet I bet they're just going to upvote people like you with open arms, it makes me sad honestly. They probably won't even respond back to these kinds of messages and therefor encouraging and fostering that community they've created.
Once again, look at the attention and downvotes I'M getting compared to them: actual bigotry is getting less hate than a respectful, different opinion.
That last sentence is melting my heart ♥
It's unironically my religious belief that unusual, unique, and weird fetish art does more to further the purpose of the Universe than a lot of other things. It's hard to say just how much I agree with calling this a sacred space where fetishes and fantasy being enjoyed by consenting adults is revered.
It's very rare to see other people word it in that sort of way. Waayy too rare.
Stick to programing instead of this Trans Chaser Religion spiel you're spouting, you fucking loon. though you belong with the rest of these nutters-in-self-denial in this community.
Your online stalking skills need work. I am indeed a programmer, but my religious beliefs have no direct relation to trans people whatsoever. It does, however, indirectly relate to taboo fictional content, most of which I personally care about doesn't feature trans people at all.
Stalking? I just looked at your comment history, bud. And bullshit, you've literally interjected your religious beliefs in MANY of this comments.
So you're on a autogynephilic fetish game and you're not into it? Why are you even here bro, this is like Mormons knocking on my door to spread the word about Christ.
I have to strongly disagree with your post, from both a moral and ideological standpoint.
I religiously believe that the purpose of the Universe is to maximize the quantity of nouns; and since nouns include abstract relationships, concepts, raw mathematics, and so on, to maximize quantity of nouns you must also maximize the diversity of nouns.
Thus, as long as a noun causes an overall increase in the number of and diversity of other nouns in the Universe, it is morally good.. And only if a noun causes an overall decrease in the quantity and diversity of other nouns in the Universe can it be considered morally evil.
Anything that limits the uniqueness and differences in nouns, such as the censorship of art, or even just the taming down of language surrounding a topic to help make it appealing to mainstream demographics, is evil. You are suggesting an evil solution to the problem of there being evil people who desire to be evil toward the game's own target demographic.
The truth is, yes! There are people who can point to this game and declare, "Look at this horrible stuff in this horrible game! That's what they want to do in real life and force everyone through!"
And guess what? They can and will do that no matter what changes you make to the game. They don't care if you remove slurs. They don't care if you make it so the player character has to give enthusiastic consent. They don't care if you make it so that trans people are accurately and respectfully represented.
They are evil, and they want to completely eradicate every trace of transgender and homosexual people from existence. They've referred to a completely 100% safe for work children's book about a dog getting lost in a safe for work gay pride parade, and then being found by the end... As porn being forced into children's faces. Yes, they call a children's book porn.
They'll call anything and everything that even remotely relates to LGBTQ+ people 'degenerate porn that must be destroyed'. Why? Because they are evil.
If you censor actual porn that is meant for adults only and has plenty of warnings about its contents, to try to give these evil people less of a leg to stand on, you're going to find that they just don't care, and they'll gladly chop your legs off while thanking you for helping them do their job for them. Why? Because they truly believe they are doing good, and that makes them feel good about themselves for doing evil.
Don't help them censor us. Don't encourage us to censor ourselves for their sake.
Instead, make weirder and more extreme porn art! Weirder and more extreme porn games! Get freaky with it!
So, if hypothetically, I, a trans woman before you jump my throat but presume a cis straight male, wanted to make a game that involves offensive depictions of LGBTQT+ peoples getting raped, dehumanized, treated as sex toys, cultivating a audience around that YOU may fervently loathe, you support that?
Exactly. If you do, you're a degenerate. If you don't, than you're a hypocrite. And what the fuck is with these long rants in the texts to necro comment threads? Just say transphobia and homophobia turns you on and let everyone know what a degenerate you are.
Guess what? If we would've censored THOSE evil people than none of this would be happening. So no, censorship is a GREAT thing, as long as the LGBTQT+ friendly side is in power, because it's obvious cis people are enemies in general to my existence.
> So, if hypothetically, I, a trans woman before you jump my throat but presume a cis straight male, wanted to make a game that involves offensive depictions of LGBTQT+ peoples getting raped, dehumanized, treated as sex toys, cultivating a audience around that YOU may fervently loathe, you support that?
I would defend your right to do that with my dying breath. I think you underestimate just how strongly I feel about censorship of fictional media.
The communities I've surrounded myself with over the past few decades have focused on content far more controversial than this game, often involving content I cannot personally stomach and have to look away from every time it's mentioned.
But I stay in those communities because they are good. They have helped prevent the suicides of several of my friends, and I cherish them for that. No matter how horrific the content appears to be, there is always someone who needs the cathartic release of seeing it realized in some form or another of artistic expression.
> Exactly. If you do, you're a degenerate.
That's certainly an interesting choice of words. Is preventing suicide degenerate? If so, I'm proud to be degenerate. If not, then you need to re-evaluate what you consider 'degenerate' to be.
> And what the fuck is with these long rants in the texts to necro comment threads? Just say transphobia and homophobia turns you on and let everyone know what a degenerate you are.
As I said, I think you underestimate just how strongly I feel about censorship of fictional media. You are attacking something that is at least adjacent to media that has saved lives. Your willingness to continue discussing this long after you initially brought it up (I saw how recently you yourself had posted in other threads about this) tells me you're willing to debate this out, or at least pretend to.
So lets debate this out! Most others won't care enough to try to convince you that you're wrong, and most of the ones who do aren't likely to have the time or willpower to do so for as long as you have been posting about this in here. I'm unemployed, have way too much time on my hands, and have an absurdly high tolerance for bullshit.
I'm willing to explain, and re-explain, and re-explain, in different ways and using different contexts and analogies over and over and over again.
Are you?
> Guess what? If we would've censored THOSE evil people than none of this would be happening.
I'm not against all censorship in general. I'm against censorship of fictional content, or more generally, I'm against the destruction or prevention of existence of any noun that, by existing, would lead to more nouns existing than would have existed if that noun had never existed. Fiction does not have any way of preventing the existence of, nor destroying, other nouns.
The only exception is things like propaganda that comes in the form of fiction that claims to resemble the real world, to convince the reader that the real world is like the fiction that the propaganda depicts.
In that specific scenario, it is 'case by case basis', with a primary focus on scrutinizing the claims made outside of the fictional work about the fictional work being analogous to real life. Such claims are always made outside of the fictional work itself, because within the fictional work's own narrative everything is 'real life'. That is, if a character in a book says, "In real life, this is like that," it is understood that the character refers to the fictional reality they reside in as 'real life'.
Thus, it is still always true that the fiction itself cannot be evil, but it IS true that sometimes people read fiction as analogous to real life, and sometimes the author intentionally encourages that via propaganda. And depending on what the propaganda says, and how the fictional world is meant to map onto the real world, and how that affects people's opinions in ways that either lead to more nouns or fewer nouns overall in the Universe... Determines whether the propagandized statements relating to the fictional world could be considered good or evil.
> So no, censorship is a GREAT thing, as long as the LGBTQT+ friendly side is in power, because it's obvious cis people are enemies in general to my existence.
Most cis people would not care if it weren't for lies spread about the LGBTQ+ community 'grooming children' or other such nonsense. I agree that censorship, when properly applied to propaganda to prevent mass harm against a unique group of people, is ultimately good. I have never said anything counter to that.
But labeling all cis people as an enemy is also a form of evil, because the definition of an enemy is a person or group of people who you want to defeat, and said enemy is likely to take that to mean that you want them eliminated from existence.
Continuing to use rhetoric like that will cause cis people - who are the majority, mind you - to want to attack you more.
This is why I consider certain concepts to be my enemy, not specific people or groups (most of the time; there are exceptions). I don't hate conservative 'christian' people spreading hate against the LGBTQ+ community, but instead I hate the concepts and ideas that lead them to spreading that hate to begin with, as well as the hatred itself that they spread.
As much as your way of speaking pisses me off, "I would defend your right to do that with my dying breath. I think you underestimate just how strongly I feel about censorship of fictional media." that's admirable and respectable.
"The communities I've surrounded myself with over the past few decades have focused on content far more controversial than this game, often involving content I cannot personally stomach and have to look away from every time it's mentioned." May I ask what kinds of communities, out of curiosity?
And apologies for the strong choice of words, you just came at me strong and I felt a strong worded response was necessary.
"Thus, it is still always true that the fiction itself cannot be evil, but it IS true that sometimes people read fiction as analogous to real life, and sometimes the author intentionally encourages that via propaganda." How I interpret this game to be honest, even if I know the creator has the best intentions in mind. Plus, that's HIGHLY subjective, so you can easily make the argument this game is like that.
"But labeling all cis people as an enemy is also a form of evil, because the definition of an enemy is a person or group of people who you want to defeat, and said enemy is likely to take that to mean that you want them eliminated from existence.

Well if the string of laws and attitude from the last year aren't evident enough, I consider cis people as the greatest enemies of the LGBTQT+ community, so yes, I do generally loathe cis people, especially men, and could care less about their problems and if anything hope their situation worsens so they know how they feel.
Out of curiosity, are you a transgendered or cis person?
> May I ask what kinds of communities, out of curiosity?
I have no problems with that, but their mention makes payment processors angry and as a result their mention would probably be an Itch ToS violation. The only thing further I'll say is that I am exclusively in the 'fiction only' side of those communities, and in no way, shape, or form condone such things when they happen in real life. In fact, I actively and vehemently condemn them in real life.
> And apologies for the strong choice of words, you just came at me strong and I felt a strong worded response was necessary.
Yeah, I think I can say the same here. I didn't respond to you saying I was acting like you were rude because, well.. To be fair, I was a bit rude myself. I do think your initial posts in here have seemed rude to me, and several of your responses to me, but to be honest I don't actually have a problem with you being rude to me, so I didn't really care to point it out. To do so would have been hypocritical, because I was rude to you in the same way you were rude to me, and in my mind the most likely cause of that is both of us feeling like the rudeness is justified and warranted.
But even if the rudeness wasn't justified or warranted for either of us, it's still understandable for both of us to think it was, and thus understandable for both of us to be rude as a result.
So yeah, no need to apologize, but apology accepted regardless.
> How I interpret this game to be honest, even if I know the creator has the best intentions in mind. Plus, that's HIGHLY subjective, so you can easily make the argument this game is like that.
That's why I focus on the words and posts made outside of the game, and not the game itself.
As a hypothetical, imagine a game that is designed to simulate the effects of racism, and lets you play as a racist that does various racist things.. To show you the devastating effects of that racism on the NPCs you affect. Like, showing you a report at the end that details how they've lost their job, couldn't afford healthcare causing their wife to die, and so on.
An actual racist might see all that while playing and laugh, being like, "Oh GOOD! HAH his wife died!"
But someone who is racist more subconsciously due to larger societal influences at large might play the game being only subconsciously racist, believing that they're not making any racist decisions... And then be shocked at and disturbed by the report at the end.
This is the sort of thing you see in, for example, Undertale's genocide route.. Where you have the option to kill everyone, and the game gets progressively less fun with towns being empty due to people fleeing from you for their lives.
But imagine in that hypothetical racism simulator, that someone who does not think they are racist but has subconscious racist tendencies, joins the game's community forums to complain about the end report they got in the game.. Saying that they aren't racists, tried to play the game as non-racist as possible, and don't like how the game is seeming to claim that he's racist.
Now, lets say the creator of the game responds directly to them.. But lets split this into two Universes: one where the game's creator intends to point out how subconscious racism can exist, and another where its creator intends to manipulate people into becoming more racist.
In the first, the creator explains what sorts of events in the game result in a report like the one being complained about, and explains that this is still racism, even though the person doesn't believe themselves to be racist. Explains that it's not their fault, it's all learned from their environment and society, but that's why they made the game: to bring awareness to the problem.
In the second Universe, the creator could do a few different things. They might try to convince them that, "Hey, you're not racist, and that's not a racist result! That person got what they deserved for non-racist reasons!" Or they could try to deepen the divide between races by saying something like, "It's satire, man! They claim we're racist for things like that, and just can't accept that we really aren't! I'm just showing how these stupid people think about racism and how it's all bullshit!"
But in the end, the goal of that second Universe's game's creator's replies is overall to either convince the complaining player that it's okay to have these subconscious racist tendencies, or to drive division in people who are against racism into thinking that some of the people they agree with are against them.. Which is a stark contrast to the first Universe's game's creator's replies, which are meant to convince the person that they are subconsciously racist, and this is why that matters.
In both Universes, the content of the game is 100% identical. But the surrounding rhetoric and purpose is vastly different.
Like.. Can you imagine a world where Toby Fox said that the genocide route's purpose is to give players a feeling of dominance and power? The game wouldn't need to change one bit for people to revolt against him for such a thing.
> Well if the string of laws and attitude from the last year aren't evident enough, I consider cis people as the greatest enemies of the LGBTQT+ community, so yes, I do generally loathe cis people, especially men, and could care less about their problems and if anything hope their situation worsens so they know how they feel.
You're falling for the 'Us vs. Them' mentality that malicious people with power want us to have. They know that not every cis person hates the LGBTQ+ community like they do, but they want to increase the percentage of cis people who do hate LGBTQ+ people.
The easiest way to do that is to make LGBTQ+ people think that cis people as a whole hate them, and then make statements targeting cis people (as in, cis people as the target audience of the statements) where they point to LGBTQ+ people hating cis people and use that as evidence that LGBTQ+ people as a whole are lunatics that are against the entire rest of society.
It can be tiring, but whenever I see people on, for example Twitter, talk about trans people as if trans people are delusional and should be removed from society? I try to convince them otherwise in much the same way I try to convince you the same about them: that yes, there are people who claim such things, but that is NOT all, or even the majority, of them.
Though to be fair, when it comes to them, I point to their own posts and tell them that 'their side' already has the power to actually do this, and that means that while trans people lack power and cannot be a legitimate threat to them, they have power and are a legitimate threat to trans people.
> Out of curiosity, are you a transgendered or cis person?
I actually just went over that a bit earlier in a response to someone else in this reply tree. The topic of why I'm into this game came up, so I explained it, and for completeness I contrasted the fantasy scenarios I'm into (relating to this game) to my actual gender identity, and how they differ.
The TL;DR is that I do tend to somewhat default to 'cisgender', but if someone prefers I have a particular gender identity, I will have that gender identity instead.
What I didn't say in that post, is that the bit toward the end (where I mention the rubber sex doll identity) was actually a big influence on my identity. A particular good friend of mine did prefer me to identify as a toy.. And when thinking about it, I realized I actually did identify that way to a large extent. It fit several parts of my real life identity, online identity, and in general how I thought of myself.
So when figuring out how I felt about my own gender identity and how to express it, part of that process was breaking down how I felt about that and the other identities I'd assumed for other people, and figuring out an abstraction that covered all the use cases. And because I do tend to default to just 'cis', it felt fitting to tack that on at the start as the default case.
It's sad to see so few of good comments! This game is actually great. I want to adress a big immersion - a whole lot of actions are taken by character to reach any point and every step is affecting your state. I really love it! Sometimes, it would be even hard to take these steps by all means :D I wasn't expecting that lot of immersive experience based on first impression, but this game really allows you to get so many different situations. And it's quite hard, I didn't see a game so hard where I'd actually try to prevent certain situations just for fun, because they happen a lot and they do punish you. This game is so interesting, and I'll be definetly looking for next updates :)
recently i've been running into an issue where, when i launch the game it loads fine, but when it comes to the actual game itself, the UI elements seem to be completely gone and it's just a text adventure at this point, any advice?
Try deleting your settings files
where would it be? and if it is the prefs file within the folder for the game, i tried that and it didn't help sadly
Yeah the Prefs file. If that hasn't worked, I would recommend the nuclear option, delete everything and redownload a fresh copy. If that doesn't work, we're going to be even more confused than we already are with what's going on with your game.
fixed it! apparently i had two versions installed, and when i clicked the git for the newer one, it redirected to the older version, so that's the prefs i had to delete, thanks for the help ^^
for a game called like this, theres any femboys on it?
I don't think so, I think it's related to traps as in
Rather than as
16. Slang: Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive., (especially in anime) a crossdressing man who is perceived as or passes as a woman: a disparaging and offensive term when referring to a trans woman.
The main character (you) can be one.
If you don't like seeing men, skip this game. Futanari and Female only gameplay is locked behind a paywall. -10/10 for the paywall
Even if you did support us at the $5 level, you would still see a few images of men, because the NPC gender preference is incomplete. This is why it's beta tester restricted.
bruh, just don't play. I can understand your preferences not wanting to see men, but you can't go around being extremely angry just because the content exists
Not sure where you got me being extremely angry from. We all have preferences, and some of us believe that if we wanna see a tally wacker, we have our own to view. Sorry, I just think men are a huge turn off since I'm straight and only like women. I won't change my opinion, you can burn me at the stake, but it won't have an affect
dude, you're writing as if you were a martyr, chill
I'm not a martyr, I'm just saying my stance wont change and that others have different tastes in what they like and dont like. Some of us just dont wanna see or hear a dude because we are straight.
first of all, I said you wrote in a way that made it seems as if you were acting like a martyr. Second: is male on female porn gay because there are dudes?
Will the playable character have a futanari version of the female?
You can start as male, female or female with male genitals.
how to play in mac
I took a while to understood how to play it, would be usefull see an alternative text when you move the mouse on the button telling what does that and the shortcut
We wish the engine would allow us to do so!
We are working on a port to Godot, please consider supporting it!

What's the difference between the different models? Also, does this game work with Joiplay?
The only difference between the models is how they look. Choose the art style you like.
This game would be hell in joiplay. Just download fabularium (it's on the playstore) and download the model you like the most. here's a guide on how to set up the game: https://shame.games/please-help-me-run-trap-quest-i-have-the-dumb
And here's is a game specifically on how to set up fabularium: https://shame.games/setting-up-your-android-device
Note: I really recommend a tablet for this game, although you could play on a phone using zoom in/zoom out gestures (these comes with android).
this looks so good but i'm on mac so i can't play </3 hopefully you guys upload a web or mac version at some point
just use parallels desktop, crossover or something like that
There are interpreters that are native Mac applications. I don't have a Mac and can't walk you through anything, but the two main ones I've heard of that are available for MacOS are Spatterlight and Gargoyle.
Gargoyle is cross-platform and available on Windows and Linux as well, and uses the 'git' VM engine for Glulxe games (which includes TrapQuest). Spatterlight apparently uses the slower but more official 'Glulxe' original interpreter, at least according to IFWiki, so might be slower at running the game.. But is also not cross-platform, making it more native to MacOS. It might give a more smooth experience for your platform as a result.
I do know that Gargoyle has proper gamma correction for font rendering, that can optionally be configured in its config file. I know that because I contributed that code myself; it already had gamma correction, but it was implemented wrong. I also know that almost nobody else cares.. But it makes dark mode look fantastic, IMO.
Very promising game! Can't wait to see what it looks like finished :)
how do you get to the fetish selection now? Or is that behind the supporter access right now?
If you downloaded within the first few hours of release and have a file named TrapQuest250526, make sure you download the updated TrapQuest250527 instead, which fixed a bug where the new window wasn't appearing for non-alpha-testers.
I there any way to make this game more compatible for phones?
i finally "won"! idk exactly how long I have been playing this but i added it to my list abt 5 months ago and have been playing it on and off since then. didn't get to technically fully finish it since i am not a supporter (lemme get out of college rq) but i am just happy to have seen the full ending having pressed the capsule button despite using a time bomb to do it... o_o
at least i did beat every other boss though! and even won as the virgin warrior class (with only a little bit of save-scumming). eventually when i can support i wanna do a full roguelike run with everything i have learned and get to the true ending.
and for anyone considering playing this and reading the comments; regardless of trying to "win," this game is thoroughly enjoyable and even when i had to save and close a run for the night it was fun to let loose and feel free to mess up and pick fights and test stuff out. i even brought out some graph paper and pens to make maps of the layout and traps, very fulfilling game for casual play and challenging urself to not just be horny and to actually aim for a clean run LOL
Lol nice time bomb cheese :D
Did the Keriax version got fixed? The cum on body shortcuts weren't working, or something like that.
Potential Softlock in Mansion Goblin Portal
Go through goblin gameshow portal (first time investigating this one) > do gameshow > lose gameshow > start fight and kick one of them out > get finished off by the other and fall down > *oral_sex_sfx* > the goblin with the ring offers it after a poking > *poke* (nothing happens and the prompt continues) > *continue poking* (still nothing)
I have to assume that because for whatever reason I am kneeling and unable to rest and recover, the game does not register the poke as what it should be and so this part of the gameshow is broken. I can aggress the other goblin still but this does nothing other than cause more bloating. I even dropped a ring just to make sure that it wasn't an issue of having too many on at once but it seems to seriously be not responding right and there is no way to leave this area since the gameshow is unfinished.
edit: it occurred to me afterwards that i should try using the safeword to leave, rest, and come back, but when i do it puts me back in the same dialogue loop, unable to leave, able to stand up at least, although the yellow goblin is now gone.
I then proceeded to destroy the remaining goblin with my new energy and still no prompt.
FIXED? this might have already been evident to some ppl reading this, but this is one of the instances where actually typing out the words "go south" will do you better off than trying anything regarding the hyperlinks. I managed to leave the painting only because of trying that.

Hmm the game was somehow registering you as still being in combat / sex with an unsatisfied goblin. I'm not sure how, but my best guess is that the bug is related to you having ultra-maximum 20/20 sluttiness appearance rating. I'll look into it.
lol tysm, super fun game btw, i love the challenge of not being rly supposed to beat it but trying to anyways. this was my absolute deviancy run to try and figure out as much abt the game as possible so i suppose it would end up that way...
Can you tell me how to translate this type of game? It's not like html can be translated on the web page, and it's not as simple as PRG, it's a file I've never encountered before, I don't know where to start, but this game is really good, great!!
The game is massive, I'm not sure if it's possible to translate it by just 1 person 🤔
Does this game have or will have lovesense toy integration?
There is an outdated wiki and of course discord.
The princess scepter can be found by sitting on the throne. With a lot of luck, no headgar equiped and no item in your hands.
If you already have the class and are missing items, you can summon them in the mansion. There is a wardrobe that will summon missing class items that might not have spawned due to clothing restrictions.
You do not need the scepter but it makes it easier to fulfill the quest because it directs you to where the activites are. Be friendly to the guards, visit the cage, remove the tentacle spawner, visit the shop, go upstairs.
I think you miss most classes by already having a class. The obvious classes are by items you pick up while not having a class. But there are many classes you obtain by doing activities in certain circumstances. I think the most easy would be cheerleader. Easy to obtain and easy to miss. Just let your hair grow very long. It gets complicated because there are many classes that can crossclass and to obtain the crossclass there might be different routes not being the same as obtaining the other base class. As far as I know you cannot get a cheerleader cross by growing your hair while having another class.
Things to try (while not having a class): crawling a lot on the floor. Cleaning puddles. Dominate enemies. Seducing an npc to the finish. Praying on the altar. Dipping drinking glasses in containers.
Are gladiators locked behind a setting or some other condition now? I haven't played in a long time and recently decided to try the game again and have yet to see one in the current version.
Many NPCs are not guaranteed to spawn at the start, but should appear eventually if you play long enough, and faster if you banish NPCs in their region
Is anyone alse having the game crashing if you pick the new starting clothes when you are setting up the run?
How do I download it for android?
First go to the last picture and pick the style/model that you like the most then download that model. You need an app called Fabularium, you need it to execute the *.glorb file.
Here's a guide, read the android section: https://shame.games/please-help-me-run-trap-quest-i-have-the-dumb
And here is a more indepth guide, located in that android section: https://shame.games/setting-up-your-android-device
Although you WILL need a tablet for this game, as the onscreen keyboard covers a third of your screen.
Also the more ram that tablet has, the better. You can play "fine" with 4gb, but i recommend 8gb.
(With, less than 4gb you will experience random crashes the more time you put in a session, so save often and try to keep multiple saves).
Oh, i almost forgot: keep the game (and Fabularium) on your device's main memory, the game will be slower on a SD card.
I see, unfortunately I posses no tablet. Perhaps some day I may be able to play it
Is anyone else on the Itch.io application getting a no compatible downloads found issue for the April 1st releases?
Is tish game for PC or android?*
It is for glulx.
You run an interpreter or emulator to run the actual game. Those interpreters exist for PC and Android, but you might have a bad time on older Android or small screen sizes.
You can play it fine in a tablet, but i bet must be horrible on a phone.
How is the response time when moving rooms? I have a desktop with a lot more power than a tablet and that time is horrible. The game barely uses a fraction of a single core.
Oh no, the game is always like that. It's because the engine wasn't designed to run a game from this size. A port to Godot is being made, but it will take years to get done.
The main issue is that the game keeps track of everything at the same time, so the more containers that you open, the more regions that you unlock... Will slow the game down. Some people used to skip the mansion for this reason.
Basically every single thing that exists in a run causes a small amount of lag/loading time. It is tiny but it adds up.
Both.
Hey, do you plan on making a futa only ennemies version ?
