The line between fetishization and anything else is, "did you seek it out, or did you find it on your own." It seems like you didn't seek out this to play into a fetish of yours, so have fun.
Also, its on a public forum with no clear markers, so its very much not an exclusive space.
Okay like most people I feel like this, on it´s intentions to be respectful it actually gets disrespectful by the overexageration of, pretty much everything here. But why downvote and attack this person so much? On their own way they´re just trying to be nice, if you disagree so much at most just state respectfully why you think this is going too far, but there´s no need to be so toxic when the game itself is about empathy in a lot of ways.
If it´s worth anything, imo something crosses the line of toxic fetishization when you´re seeing the characters and the group they belong to as a walking fetish and not just a kind of PERSON (I really want to stress that, that you see them as people) that you really find interesting/attractive. Someone said it´s fetishization when you look for it, but I don´t think having preferences or tastes on the kinds of people you find attractive it´s necessarily fetishization.
It might be an antivirus issue, since we arnt one of microsofts 'trusted publishers.' If you got a popup saying something like that, you'll have to click through a few things before it'll let you play. You could also check your anitvirus settings. Also, can you confirm you downloaded the correct version? It should end in .exe
just became a patron haha, before i even got into anything this game already started tugging on my heart strings, amazing writing and just a very well put together game all together, cant wait to play more of it soon ;)
do i have do be a member for more then 1 month do be able do download the patreon version, or can i just be a member for 1 month only download the game and unsubscribe?
I've tried to get the Patreon version, but Patreon won't let me make the purchase, and my attempts to figure things out with their customer support have gone nowhere, as their customer support has been horribly lacking in quality.
Is there anyway for me to get the full version of the game without going through Patreon? I played the demo and loved it, and I really wanna buy the full version, but based on my only experience with Patreon, Patreon is broken and doesn't work.
I stumbled upon this gem a few days ago and I'm absolutely mesmerized! Not only is it wholesome as heck, it has the right amount of drama, action and - of course - lewd kinky stuff. It's just absolutely perfect and I can not wait to get my hands on more content (and the paid version for that. Just need to wait til the next paycheck arrives).
Hello! I've heard great things about this game from a friend, but I'm having trouble getting this demo to work. When I try to launch it, I get an error popup that says "Unsupported game version. Please refer to the readme file for details." Is there any help I can get for this? I'm very lost
Haven't played much yet and outside of some tech details like no skip button, no info on what "files" does or no volume slider I'm loving it so far. There's even an otter statue! I'm pretty sure this game was meant for me personally :p
It's really nice to see such a well made game that is trans-inclusive and sex-positive! The cyberpunk setting is an added bonus as well :D
I'd love to see more games like this, especially ones with queer and transmasculine characters! Is there any possibilty of a sequel like that? Sorry, it's just really difficult to find good 18+ content for trans mlm like myself ^-^;
I have been playing for about an hour or two, and I love the how rich the story feels. You really feel like you get to know the characters. The game feels very alive with all the random events taking place in the city. Would love to see more places to visit and more sexy characters to meet in the future.
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
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?

What. The. Fuck.
I don't really know why the creator would be offended by this, as it is only a game, unless I'm wrong-
Dude, just play the game. I don't make the game but just play it.

man the writing is so well done and the art is beautiful. is there no full screen mode tho?
would be good for the standard buttons to be applicable too like F5 for restart, F4/F11 for full screen, ctrl for skip text etc
also average play time is estimated half an hour? nah man there's quite a bit to explore i could play this for an easy 6 hours
what an incredible game! from the art to the writing to the atmosphere it's just wonderful. and what am amazing demo!
The demo convinced me to become a patron - fantastic work!
this is a demo, this is the best dome ever
thx, thats the best comment ever
Downloaded the demo for win 10, but it doesn't start up? don't know if i've done anything wrong :((

Keep up the good work! <3

Have you read the readme file?
love the game! but I wanted to switch computer and keep my progress, but I can't work out where it keeps its save file on win 10. any ideas??
edit: nevermind found it! for those wondering, you have to show hidden files. way less time than i thought it would take!

Hey there, is there a discord around this game or studio in general?
Yes : https://discord.com/invite/QQwcCrBBAM
Thank you so much
Are demo saves compatible with the patreon version? Am I losing out on content if I continue using the demo save?
Yeah, at least it worked for me.
I think they have mildly changed a few early scenes but it's mostly new content.
can you release on android or apk?
What are all of the levers in the ruined industrial district for? i found 3 of them but idk if im missing more or i just dont know what to do
No idea if you know by now or not but it enables use of the 3D printer to the right of all of that
Oh so thats what it does? i had turned it on but i didnt realized it was because of that. Tysm
Haven't played much yet and outside of some tech details like no skip button, no info on what "files" does or no volume slider I'm loving it so far. There's even an otter statue! I'm pretty sure this game was meant for me personally :p
You are planning game version for smartphones?
tragically, no. I dont think i'll ever be able to support android, and i cant distribute on ios even if i Could port it.
question, do old saves work with this new update?
edit: yes they do. Also anyone know how to get the green apron? Can't seem to find it.
Heya! The green apron is hanging up in the convenience store in Skipnoise Ave. you have to pay a few coupons for it though.
Not really, u can get it for free if u want to :b

got as far as i could into the demo!!!! i need NEEd need to see more of this game! ill be going to your patreon as soon as i have the money for it!
The newest update is available from the 1$ tier so that's pretty affordable.
Im so obsessed with Joi, I really want more of her >w<

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.
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
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
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
Thank you so much omg
Really good game Im excited to see it done
