Honestly one of my favourite visual novel games that isn't hellish to play. I also know I just love the more "monster" love interests based-games, especially in research settings, so this is basically has been bait for me. I did try out the demo and got addicted so quickly while waiting for the full game. Very interesting and doesn't really hide the fact the Researcher you play as HAS a background you forgot about, and you can find out the history you had through various rounds even if you miss it at first. It doesn't mean you will know all of it in one round. IF you are here to romance VERA, bestie you ain't going anywhere. you get two interests and that's it. But VERA's personality is not pushed off nor are any of the other interests. Everyone in this is so well written and I adore it! only real downsides tho: IF you have the urge to 100% games, listen to me. you will be here for a while. Sadly, Telluricene is somehow a bit more obscure compared to other games so there are no full guides and it is newer atm so glitches do happen. I am still at this point missing 2 achievements out of the 20 total.

Loved the designs. Loved the art. I love the idea of romancing a plant. Steam needs more plant dating sims

I think this was the first romance VN that I played that had a "build and b*tch" mechanic. Personality, form, gender, you literally create you SO here, or try to at least. You only have like 3 personality options so... Anyway, good art, interesting world building, lots of words I'd rather swallow a cactus than try to pronounce ever again! :D

Fun little game, got a good amount of time out of following one of the paths to a few of its conclusions. Overall worth a try if you like branching visual novels or just branching stories in general. Hope these devs get some more opportunities to really flesh out their abilities and put out more good work like this.

This game is amazing and like the newly released Deadly Obsession it gets better the more you play it. Beautiful, touching, sci-fi, personalization, wonderful characters, great art, music, sound, a theme song, and it can make you cry.....I really got attached to all three of the main characters...the dialogue is very good...the endings are great but the best ones are gotten after getting a few of the early ones...there's a lot of achievements....I didn't know this game was so great until about 3 hours so that's what I recommend you play before making a decision....also Vivus is adorable! The plants are so nice but the bad endings are just as good as the good endings....I loved this game...After playing games for over 11 years in this style...this one will remain one of my favorites with complex characters great dialogue different features touching story and replayability of course all under a sci fi romance category. 12/10!!!
