About

Welcome Researcher,
An emerging species is taking root—preternatural, highly intelligent, and swiftly spreading.
Classified as the Vivus glomerorum, these new lifeforms threaten to infiltrate our resilient nation. It’s up to our bravest and brightest minds—like you—to investigate and decide: friend or foe?
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. Your great nation thanks you for volunteering in Project Sporesight. May we endure under your guiding hand.






Monitor a V. glomerorum specimen through three distinct stages—each with unique physical forms and psychological profiles.
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.
Lead groundbreaking discoveries as one of the EPPA's Volunteer Researchers: a thoughtful and perceptive mind at the forefront of scientific progress.
Set your pronouns, input your name, design your character, and prepare for a dangerous undertaking, as you:

Balance the incoming data with your personal ethics
Meet the rigid demands of the project itself
Utilize an interactive research portal to log your findings, review classified data, and submit scientific reports that will determine the fate of V. glomerorum and all Sechians.

Reviews
Loved the designs. Loved the art. I love the idea of romancing a plant. Steam needs more plant dating sims
Loved it. The premise is interesting, the story keeps you invested, the dialogue is great, and the humor is just my type. The overarching themes are quite dark, and given the way they handle certain scenes, I only went for the good endings because I was afraid of the gut punch I knew the bad ones would deliver. I agree with another poster here that a little bit more of an epilogue would've been nice just to bask in the sun we fought so hard to see. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I also don't see a gallery of the CG art! It was gorgeous, and I would've liked to go back to look at it some more.
oh...... im obsessed.... deeply enjoyed the demo before release, but OH MAN!!!!! played for 3 hours straight as soon as i could til i got a good ending that didnt involve V.E.R.A. exploding my head :) cant wait to keep digging for other endings and paths
非常好玩!!!!强推!
amazing game the art and storytelling is heavenly
fun, very well written and with beautiful arts. worth it
I love vivus so much.
Genuinely one of the best videogames I have ever played and one of the best stories I have ever read. The Good Ending was so amazing. I genuinely cried (I cried multiple times playing this, its so well written). You owe it to yourself to play it.
Extremely interesting concept, with great execution. The art is fantastic and the writing is very sweet, and as a huge fan of the demo, I would highly recommend supporting these devs and giving the game a look!
На самом деле странный выбор сюжетных трюков и главный герой. На пути к хорошей концовке. Он поступает в некоторых моментах слишком иррационально. Словно за кадром бросает невидимые кубики. Отчего поступки слишком импульсивны. Как и большая часть его размышлений тоже нам как игроку не известны. За первое прохождение я могу с уверенностью сказать, что я почти ничего не знаю про гг кроме того что он учёный. Я вышел на хорошую концовку но это вызвало лишь ощущение фрустрации. Словно часть информации о нашем персонаже остаётся за кадром. Как и часть информации с нашим растением и ИИ помощником. Главный герой знает эту информацию, но мы как игрок нет. Возможно всё раскрывается на других рутах. Но после первого прохождение желание перепроходить отпало. Мне понравился визуал и музыкальное сопровождение, как и взаимодействие с нашим испытуемым. Но сюжет не цепляет. Словно мой выбор в некоторых моментах не имеет какого либо смысла. Но сама по себе интересная история на вечер.
