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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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