Star Periphery [v.0.5.5] (2023) (Eng) [Ren'Py] [Android] [VoidPilgrim]

Setting:
The setting's main inspirations are cult classics like Fifth Element, Farscape, Space Truckers, Red Dwarf, Battletech, Syd Mead's paintings, and other similar older sci-fi works. I am hoping to emulate that seedy, B-movie, lived-in atmosphere. Dirty and functional environments but still immersive and fun enough to live in. You can check the screenshots above and let me know if this goal of mine succeeded or not.
Or at least, this all applies to The Periphery, where most of Part 1 will be situated. What else is there waiting for you in this vast new universe? You'll see!

Gameplay:
The gameplay loop is not entirely linear as regular kinetic novels are since there are a fair number of choices. However, it is not fully open world/sandbox make-your-own-adventure either. If anything, the gameplay is a merge of more or less linear storylines (with different outcomes) situated in locations you can visit at your leisure. Both locations and characters are also tied to specific fetishes. I understand that not everyone is, for example, into feminization/sissy content; hence such content is locked in specific locations or with specific characters. If you interact with these characters in connection to the story, you don't have to engage in fetish content you do not wish to see.
An elementary perk system reflects the main character's experience (both practical and sexual), translating into different scenes and outcomes. Perks unlock as you play most of the time, so there is no grinding.

Fetishes:
That's what we are here for, after all. Star Periphery has two main themes: Futadom and femdom. Futadom offers a whole spectrum from harsh, domineering futas, to gentle, more romantic ladies and everything in between. Be vary, though - individual characters have their own numerous fetishes, be it denial or cumplay, and many others. The Femdom section primarily offers latex, edging/orgasm play, bondage, worship, medical play, training, feminization/sissification, and much more.

The game has very limited "porn physics." As I want my game to be as immersive as possible, I believe the same should apply to sexual content. For example, you are interested in romancing a certain especially well-endowed lady. All is good, but you can hardly expect your virgin main character to be able to take her foot-long package without proper training first, right? I don't see this as an obstacle to gameplay. I see this as a chance to make plenty of spicy stretching/butt-training scenes first. But where to look for such a thing? That depends on you, player.
Characters and story:
In part 1, there is a lineup of five "main" characters you can romance, countless side characters with whom you can repeatedly engage in lewd action, and some support characters you can have fun with at least once. Or, more specifically, they will have some fun with you.
Just like the main characters vary in their own kinks, they differ in body types. No matter if you prefer classic oh-so-thicc futas, fit tomboys, shredded muscle girls, goth-y/punk ladies, or soft motherly types with some extra meat on their bones, I got you covered. The screenshots above offer a sneak peek at some of the cast.
