Amplexus Protocol

Short hybrid visual novel and shooter where you blast enemies across a graveyard with a six-shot revolver between dialogue scenes. The game casts you as a police officer responding to a call at a cemetery during her routine patrol. Suspecting mutant activity, she arms herself with a revolver and prepares to eliminate anything that threatens her. One of the first things players will notice is that the game runs on a visual novel engine familiar to indie fans. However, it’s been impressively customized to support an action-heavy experience in a completely different genre. Despite the shift, the narrative is still delivered in traditional visual novel style, which means you read at your own pace and advance text with a button press. The plot doesn’t offer much, and serves more like a break between action segments. These shooting scenes are what set the game apart. Gameplay is straightforward: enemies appear randomly on the screen, and you use the left mouse button to shoot them. Your revolver only holds six rounds, so reloading with the right mouse button is crucial before things get overwhelming. Since reloading takes time and you can’t fire during the process, it’s wise to reload…

A very fun experience. The game, despite being short, offers a great amount of entertainment and features multiple endings that encourage replaying. What captivated me the most was its visual and narrative style, which clearly draws from the aesthetic of 90s manga, something I personally love. The shooting sequences may seem simple at first, but they present a real challenge and offer a satisfying difficulty. However, the developer has been very considerate by including an option to skip them, which is perfect if you prefer focusing on the story or if you get stuck on a particular section. TLDR: A short game, but very enjoyable, with an excellent blend of 90s manga aesthetic and satisfactory gameplay. Highly recommended!

Excellent game, great artwork, lots of fun.

What a fun game. I played exclusively on the SteamDeck, and the combination of a touch screen with the easy to use controls makes this game AMAZING for coach play. Friggin' Loved.

Very simple point and click shooter game, with very good artwork and a drop dead gorgeous/sexy MC. Story: 8/10 I’m not giving the story such a good score because it’s anything special. More like it’s a simple enough story, that is short to the point and fun that fits a short game like this perfectly. You’re an extremely busty 40yo cop who is called to help save citizens and fight the aliens/creatures that have appeared. Make the decision to have the survivors you find follow you and you’ll get some fun scenes. Gameplay: 6/10 Not a bad score as in the gameplay is awful. But the fact that it is bare bones and all you’re going to do is click a lot for a few minutes, have a little dialogue then repeat. It’s not really fair to bash the developer for that as the whole point of the game is to be just that, a point and click shooter. But regardless it’s not much fun and the shooting sections seem to last far too long. You DO have the option to skip all combat which is nice but also more to the point of why this should be bought on sale since it cuts playtime down to nothing. NSFW: 9/10 Most of my reviews talk about one thing above all else. Art style and art quality. Quantity is also i…

It was so much fun love this game!
