Last I checked it's because it's a .exe file from an unknown source (Not microsoft verified anyway). I've been playing Hardcoded for ages and it's fine. There should be a "more options" and "run anyway" style thing that you can click.
Game is fine though, never been a virus. Assuming you got it off itch.io or their patreon though
From what I understand, the game isn't finished yet. The Patreon versions have as much content as has been made, and I imagine that they plan to release a full version you can pay for once once it's done
The visuals and the feel of the game are simply great.
One of the things i love about Hardcoded is that the player has choice,you dont have to engage in sex every five minutes and you dont have to be a complete virgin. And the dreams manage to show the thoughts of the player's character in a pretty damn good way.
Basically,this game is a must for anyone that isnt there for only the erotic stuff.
And if i have to mention my favourite character in the demo,its the pet drone i randomly decided to name Beeb!
This game is incredible, very well-written, characters you care about, actually engaging storylines, so much great representation, ACTUAL HEALTHY ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD TO STEAMY SEX. Queer as fuck, gotta get it
I don't want to bother anyone but i can't run the game, i'm on windows and whenever i install the windows version it won't appear in my downloads folder. anyone know a fix?
The visuals throughout are fantastic, and I could gush about it, and the music is great, but the writing is the real star here. The writing on this game is incredible.
I just finished the Heather 7 shower scene, and I was blown away. It was beautiful. It felt like falling/being in love. It was tender and so loving, and beautifully executed with a sensitivity not found in other adult games. The art/music/words... This isn't just an adult game. This is real art. Well done, y'all.
First of all, it has a very aesthetic structure. Their music, graphics, and other things fit well with this aesthetic structure. I recommend a really nice game.
I’m not into Dating Sims or porn games, in spite of what first impressions might imply, but I found this game on a must-play trans games list, and I just had to try it. I simply cannot say no to LGBT content.
First of all, I love the cyberpunk aesthetic, and the background plot is actually intriguing. Secondly, I love that the game gives you the option of having no sexual encounters with men. I’m bisexual and all that, but sometimes men can be exhausting and you just want a good ole Sapphic, lesbian, aka ladies-only adventure and this is the one. And as a non-binary person, I appreciate the inclusion of nonbinary characters as well.
This game won’t be free and my third world broke nalgas won’t be able to pay for it (unless I suddenly become a millionaire; do wish for that, please, haha), but I will spread the word so that people who can pay for it will do so. It is looking great so far!
My favourites right now are Beryl, Magdalena, Heather, and Joi. I wouldn’t mind if Candy or Reina were an option, too. I love all the cats, by the way; the character designs in general are very cool. The only one I’m not impressed by is Decima. I guess she’s supposed to be the butch, but she doesn’t look like a hot butch to me, and I am actually way more into butches than I am into femmes. No offence, but she looks kind of like a crackhead, haha. I am also loving the witty writing, like the names of the haircuts. I couldn’t find out how to actually change the playable character’s look, though; I kept buying things but her look never changed. Probably just a demo thing.
Another observation, by the way, is that I like the character can be either dominant or submissive. I feared the character would be a basic sub, but I’m pleased to see she can play as a bratty sub or service top or anything she wants.
Glitch report: After completing Heather’s first even during the second night, the screen went like this:
It happened again when I did her second event. And then I realised it happened with all her events. After I saved the game everything went back to normal, but the second I chose her event, it would glitch again. I don’t know if it also happens with the other characters; I haven’t had time for a second play-through or more thorough exploration of the game.
This game is so great! This one of the only erotica games that I've played that is respectful/inclusive of trans characters and narratives; and includes kinky scenes while not being fetishistic. Plus, beautifully made pixel art and animations!!
One question- based off of seeing him in some of the promo material alongside the other main characters, is Bru going to have a storyline? I assume he's a trans guy and I'd love to have some sexy content for him.
Wow I love this so much! Definitely buying it when it comes out!! I did not expect the world building to be so deep. I haven't finished the demo but I am especially enjoying Joi's storyline and learning about her robot community. I love how it plays in a little window, gives it a vibe like a super-intricate polly pocket! I am also impressed by the way the game makes you unlock new content/game features at what seems like just the right pace to keep things interesting.
I am curious, is Peach from the coffee shop the manager or someone else we meet eventually?
Oh my gosh thank you I love that too!! I think little windows are really adorable but I think this is the first time I've ever been complimented about it :3 But yeah, Peach isn't the manager, peach doesn't currently have any role in the game but their barista job. I should probly give them at least a little more context aha
I absolutely love what's done so far! I think I played for a good two weeks straight just to finish all that was available for the demo. to be completely honest, I probably missed a few things but I finished off what's available for all the story lines so I can rest now haha-
I absolutely love the art. I got a really good taste for the world within the first few minutes and really enjoyed the long hours I spent and lack of sleep I got playing this game. I really did find myself craving for more. I didn't expect the story to genuinely be so engaging for me.
Fantastic job and I can't wait for the full release.
My experience feels about the same!~ I am still working on getting everything done, but this is only my first day playing, and I love it to no end! Not to mention all the scenes are crafted so beautifully, and so erotically... Many, many nights can be spent masturbating to this alone.
Is it possible to change the MC's genitals? (I'm sorry for asking such a direct question.) Anyway, I am loving this game so far! Very cool atmosphere and characters.
any idea of a time frame for an official release because the game clearly has a lot of promise and i want to know when i can have a complete experienc?
The art and writing in this game is just so, so cool. I really like the characters and how they're written; I feel that a stereotype of porn games is that they're shallow or lack story, and while frankly that's fine by me, I'm also loving the ones like this that have a story and are unashamed to make it sex-focused.
By the way, is Forcier (I think I'm remembering their name right, if not, I mean the 6'9" person with prosthetic legs) going to be romanceable? I had men turned off as an option, but Forcier appeared to be NB, so either they're set as a "man" or just aren't an option.

We interviewed the team at Ghosthug games about this sexy and amazing looking game ;)
Loving this game it looks so full of cybery coolness!!!
ehe thanks! It totally is!
Uh, whenever I start the game, Windows says it's a virus so what now? Im pretty sure there is a reason why Windows says that.
Last I checked it's because it's a .exe file from an unknown source (Not microsoft verified anyway). I've been playing Hardcoded for ages and it's fine.

alguma chance de ter a versão android?
Would like to buy a full copy. Any chance of buying it without Patreon?
They wrote "first available on Patreon" so I guess there will be free updates but more slowly.
From what I understand, the game isn't finished yet. The Patreon versions have as much content as has been made, and I imagine that they plan to release a full version you can pay for once once it's done

Beeeeeeb!!!!!!! Thats so cute! Also, im really glad you like it! :3

Thank you so much omg
Really good game Im excited to see it done
I don't want to bother anyone but i can't run the game, i'm on windows and whenever i install the windows version it won't appear in my downloads folder. anyone know a fix?
Maybe you're on a 32 bits system, like me on my ol' linux computer ?
I wonder if it would be possible to compile and publish the 32 bit versions as well ?
The visuals throughout are fantastic, and I could gush about it, and the music is great, but the writing is the real star here. The writing on this game is incredible.

good game, keep going

Хуитень ебанутая какая то
I'm really enjoying the game. I love the aesthetic and the graphics are perfect. HC is beautiful and sexy.

"Most of them are attached to girls"
noice!
It's just cause the dev is unverified. Happens all the time, it's no biggie.
Will this get an android version?
what version is this?
This game really transported me to another world, and I love that about games.
<3 thank you! That feels like such high praise.. I also adore it when games are able to do that for me :3
Do you know if this game will ever come to android?
This game is so great! This one of the only erotica games that I've played that is respectful/inclusive of trans characters and narratives; and includes kinky scenes while not being fetishistic. Plus, beautifully made pixel art and animations!!

Thank you, Friend. Your review was spot on!'
Oh my gosh thank you I love that too!!

I should probly give them at least a little more context aha
I wish this has frottage scenes!
it does, but it might be only in the patreon version
I absolutely love what's done so far! I think I played for a good two weeks straight just to finish all that was available for the demo. to be completely honest, I probably missed a few things but I finished off what's available for all the story lines so I can rest now haha-

the ost is amazing! other than the cute and sexy characters and the beautiful art, the music is my favorite thing in this game
Does anyone know where the save files are located? I plan on doing a fresh install for my computer and don't want to lose all my progress
Is it possible to change the MC's genitals? (I'm sorry for asking such a direct question.) Anyway, I am loving this game so far! Very cool atmosphere and characters.
It isn't, unfortunately. I'm glad you're like the rest of the game though! Thank you :3
This game looks so retro cool, I really like it!
any idea of a time frame for an official release because the game clearly has a lot of promise and i want to know when i can have a complete experienc?
Having trouble connecting to your patreon. Can I have a manual link?
Can you download this on a phone or no?
Nope, sorry
This is a shame, I'd really like it for Android.
This would be an instant buy for me, if i knew Joi gets more loving attention
She absolutely does in the patreon version :3
i have to be a patreon to download the full game? Answer me pls !
The art and writing in this game is just so, so cool. I really like the characters and how they're written; I feel that a stereotype of porn games is that they're shallow or lack story, and while frankly that's fine by me, I'm also loving the ones like this that have a story and are unashamed to make it sex-focused.

I havn't written Forciers scenes yet, but theyre totally gonna be romanceable. Also, thanks so much! Im so glad ya like it!
I was interested in the difference's between patreon and the demo please?
Well, the demo is a demo.
The Patreon version receives regular updates.
Cheers, I went through the demo and going through the patroen build atm
I couldn't wait to back this. The official release can't come soon enough!
thx thx, i totally agree :3
Good stuff. Some issues but overall the demo is fun and promising. I look forward to all sex scenes added (hopefully with noise and voice ^_^)
