The Symbiant

I hate that its so short because the voice acting and art is so good! There is a second game and I PLAN on playing it! Story and music is amazing too! Also this game the NSFW it is cut off, It cuts it out and don't see the bottom part of this game. If you are like that then this game is for you! If you do like that NSFW, like me, there is a DLC they give away for free on here! Just make sure that the game IS CLOSED when downloading it so you can see it, if open and you download it you will not see any of the NSFW scenes and it will play as normal.

Gorgeous character design, great story and world building. A little bit short but worth it's price if you want to read something kinky or weird.

I don't normally play games like this, and I don't think I've ever written a review for a game before, but oh my God. This game is something else. The worldbuilding and the characters are so enthralling, and I am absolutely obsessed with the universe presented in The Symbiant. I didn't think I'd be raving this much over a game like this, but take my word for it when I say this was one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Pretty solid title with actual story and not only "action" - which is a very big plus for this genre. The main problem here is how little choice there is; When player sees dialog options for the first time its this "wow" reaction - "i have a choice?". "Mass Effect/Dragon Age" hype! ...But soon enough one discovers that these moments are very rare which brings certain disappointment to the table. The game is all about romance - i get it - but having choice means that one can truly build their character and not just push what's already designed into corners. Being forced into certain situations over and over again is just too much, especially when reading said scenarios and possible consequences is so easy, so normal. Player just feels like an idiot when he's helpless against that. That's why i couldn't fully accept main character. In the end it was all about saving him some troubles and being powerless against rigged foolishness. I wasn't going for any perfect whatnots - only trying to be fair. Which brings me to the second problem with this game. It's short. Space setup, whole universe - all that creates expectation for something more. And yet it was straightforward journey, smooth sailing really. Seems like playing fair was the problem. When i heard that someone is after Brave's business i suspected that this whole trip would not be so easy - especially when Ameretat vessel was so defenseless. I was ready for possible pirates, mercenaries - variables that could spice things a bit. But no dice.
I heard that this game is based on two major scenarios - that the second one presents quite a few problems between characters. Maybe thats where all the danger disappeared... But its not meant to be discovered by players like me. I just like playing fair - and that teleported my game into Odaria in no time at all.
Other than that the game has quite nice graphics, enjoyable music & voice actors, convenient controls... I had pretty much zero experience with visual novels of that kind (this was my first) and i think i can gladly recommend this game to those interested. I was late with filling up poll that was presented by devs few months back so i'm leaving this review instead.

Thoughts on the game itself:
▫️The voice acting is a huge plus, with several outstanding voice actors.
▫️The character development of Brahve in the text is very detailed and progresses gradually. Regardless of the ending, you can always grasp his personality.
▫️On the other hand, the Danya’s personality feels inconsistent depending on the choices you make, even if it's driven by lust, which lacks completeness.

Game guide:
▫️Make sure to download the adult patch, or you’ll miss out on a lot of content and it will affect your understanding of the plot and characters.
▫️The two major decision points in the game are: 1. Whether to approach Oatith behind Brahve's back; and 2. Whether to agree to Brahve’s request.
▫️A minor decision point later on is whether to accompany Brahve into the room.

Overall, the new game is a bit pricey. It's fine as a casual read, but if you have high expectations, I wouldn’t recommend playing it.

Yeah so.... definitely on the weirder side of the BL I read. The MC kind of enters a sorta polyamorous situation with the blue alien and a non-humanoid (plant-like) alien who is used as a sort of healing dildo? Could make some people kind of uncomfortable I am sure depending on their tastes. But overall the art, pacing of the story, and voice acting makes this visual novel an enjoyable experience. I would recommend to my fellow boys love fans to give it a try.

Let me tell you, I've never have a thing for aliens or tentacles, but the game warms you up to the idea very beautifully. Another surprising thing is, usually in these games you really don't care about the side character, but Juniper is a very cool character with depth, I'm glad she was on board. The "obvious" parts are also satisfying with voice overs, thank you to all VA's who took their job seriously. Recommended 100%. Now excuse me, I'm going to play the sequel :D
