You have been selected to conduct scientific studies to piece together the truth behind the V. glomerorum. In the wake of a looming TELLURICENE, you will have an intensive ten days to decide whether this new era comes to fruition or is forever halted.

But be wary, Researcher. Your choices have consequences. Maneuver high-stakes relationships where trust, secrecy, and your choices shape two major romance paths with multiple possible outcomes.

Pretty good! God fairly emotionally invested and just played this game for hours straight. Had to do some trial and error to get the ending I wanted though.
Humanity always disregards other creatures, be they intelligent or not, and there's a great fear of opening yourself to a different, alien perspective. I always thought that was sad. And seeing how our planet is slowly dying because of greed, indifference or willing ignorance.. I really loved how all this reflected in the story. Vivus is so lovely (and rays of love for the 'Janitor', too). The song was great! Achievements bugged, I think, but I never really cared for them in games.
WORLD'S MOST ETHICAL AND BELOVED RESEARCHER !!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE MY EXPERIMENT WIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love them all. 100% worth the money and wait for this game
0/10 it doesnt let you rail the plant. But seriously, overall, it's a great game, I love the tone of it and just the way it treats interspecies relationships n stuff, i can easily say it was ACTUALLY worth every single penny even though i don't usually find myself playing otomes(doesthisactuallycountasanotome) or games were the mc isn't a character in concrete im SO HAPPY I GOT THE GOOD ENDING IN MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH fem moneses uniflora my beloved
Absolutely a blast and I cannot wait to see what deadline gets up to in the future. I think the one thing i really find myself wanting is a gallery or timeline of some kind so I can track what i have and haven't done- mostly just because I want to know if im missing any interactions or anywhere the path branches. Not totally a guiding hand but more like a blank space that tells me i should try again from a certain spot to see something new. Overall 10/10 and a whole blast. May not be voiced but i could certainly hear the story speaking to me. Look to the Sun.
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.
MOREEE, I NEED MOREEEEEE I LOVE IT AND THEM ALL THEY'RE ALL PEAK AND GAME IS COOL AND FUN YAY OMNOMNOM
我将永远拥护人外!
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!!!
