About The Symbiant

NOTE: The demo is ALL-AGES only! Please check our discord server for more information. The Symbiant is a visual novel about two adult men, both from vastly different worlds, embracing their sexuality and their newfound romance. It is also a tale of interstellar friendship and being gay in space!

SYNOPSIS



In the year 5066, Danya and his alien friend Juniper are manning The Ameretat, a humble spaceship that transports goods across the Milky Way.

After a troubled transport gig that left their beloved ship in need of repair and their bank account empty, the team is offered a generous deal they cannot refuse: transporting a beautiful and mysterious alien who calls himself Brahve.

Sometimes at night, Danya hears strange things from Brahve's room. What could he be hiding in there? And how will it affect the connection that's quickly growing between the two men?

I enjoyed the game and what it had to offer! I will say it is rather...how do I say this...it's not a lot! There is not a lot of characters, but the characters we do have interact with each other a lot. The relationships can be felt between all the characters! Danya, Juniper, and Brahve are all well fleshed out characters. Their designs are amazing and they all have a unique personality! The voice acting is amazing and the art is beautiful. Some things I didn't like about the story is that in the early game the nsfw scenes are well fleshed out, but later I only get to read what's happening...if even that. I felt like they could've also been slower at introducing the nsfw scenes as they felt a little rushed to put in. I wish there was more tension felt between the two before the laundry scene happens. Though, I think I'm being nitpicky! I actually really enjoyed the story, so do not let this sway you! I will say that the NSFW scenes are satisfying! So do pick up the DLC (for free) before you play. Overall, I really enjoyed the game and I would recommend it!

The art and voice acting are really good. All around I really liked this game.

My biggest issue is that it’s quite short. I completed the whole game and all of the endings in under 7 hours, and there aren’t that many endings either. Still, I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing — I just wish there was more content, especially because I really liked the characters and would happily play more stories with them. There are also relatively few characters, and I felt like some of the relationships developed a little too quickly. I would have liked to see more time spent developing the characters and their relationships. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the English voice acting and the art style is gorgeous! I also really liked the supernatural characters — that was definitely a big plus for me. There is also censorship, but personally, I don’t mind it. Overall, I had a really good time playing The Symbiant. It’s a short but enjoyable BL visual novel with beautiful art, great voice acting, and interesting supernatural elements. I’d definitely love to see more stories with these characters! I’d definitely recommend it :)

It's a fun game with a cute story (for the HEA), some parts aren't for the faint of heart but still well done. The VAs are incredible, and so are the artists. Overall, worth it.

Pretty good, although I didn't like this game quite as much as the dev's previous game (Synthetic Lover). The plot is a lot thinner, but at least the interactions between the cast (as small as the cast is) are pretty fun. The voice acting and the art are great; the writing has its moments too. I thought it was pretty funny on a meta level how picking the choice that leads you to the best ending has you [spoiler]completely avoid the main conflict of the story altogether. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop and it just never did lol, so the story ends up basically being "two decent guys getting into a healthy relationship, one of them relies on a tentacle alien to survive but it's nbd."[spoiler] There is another good ending that has more going on in the plot, too. (Relatively.)

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
