Mama had always told me eat my greens. What a beautiful game ! The art is stunning and the lore is amazing. While the playthrough is a little short, it offers a variety of different endings for you to discover. The issue is that since I treated my plant bf well, now I don't have the heart to try and do anything else to them to get other endings because I know how much darling they are.

Vamos lá! Em telluricene voce é um pesquisador trabalhando em um laboratorio estudando uma misteriosa nova especie será que voce conseguira se aproximar dela? ou será que ela é inimiga? tudo dependerá de suas escolhas. O jogo tem uma historia muito boa fazendo a gente pensar sobre como lidar com uma nova raça e que consegue te prender bem na ideia entretanto pelo fato do jogo tacar muita informação de uma vez ele me deixou muito perdido em varias situações sem eu entender direito oque estava acontecendo porem ainda sim eu achei muito boa!, Sobre a arte do jogo ela é muito bonita porem ela é bem ''limitada'' não tendo muitas artes e deixando muito para a interpretação e imaginação por escrita. Sinceramente é um jogo muito bom e eu recomendo porem acho que é melhor pegar em uma promoção por não ser em um jogo muito longo e sinto que poderia ter tido mais coisas.

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!!!
Always good to have more sci-fi romance. This game has a neat idea where one of the love interests is a plant monster whose attributes (appearance, personality, gender) are determined by the player. It's a bit less in-depth than I was expecting but still really cool, especially since all the sprite and CG art is so good. The MC customization is also great; there are some options here that are rare in video game character creators. Overall I thought this game was really cool, but unfortunately the writing kind of falls apart in the later parts IMO. It's never outright bad (and the line-to-line writing is always good), but I feel like some things (dialogue, actions, etc) kind of...stop making sense? I think it's part of the effect of having the whole story set across only two weeks; there's just not enough time to establish either an organic romantic connection or the [spoiler]revolution against a genocide[/spoiler] plot fully, let alone both, so things have to be sped along regardless. The game is still worth playing, it just ended up being "good" to me instead of "great" like I was hoping from the premise and art. (Particularly since this is a flaw that a lot of indie visual novels share--for whatever reason it's a trend for plots to take place in a matter of days, which isn't inherently a problem except that most developers don't have a sense for what kinds of stories actually benefit from this structure, and romance as a rule almost never works with it.) I also wish there was a CG gallery. I want to emphasize that the art in this VN is really really really good, it's a shame that there's no gallery lol [i]For more romance game recommendations, check out my curator, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32080131/]Games for Hopeless Romantics[/url].[/i]
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.
абсолют синима , ждала игру с анонса
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.
WORLD'S MOST ETHICAL AND BELOVED RESEARCHER !!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE MY EXPERIMENT WIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
