I bought the 105$ pack when the game came out but will I get the after stories as well or do I have to pay that separately 

(1 edit)

Everything is included in the $105 pack, including the After Stories!

In fact, should be able to see the Early Access version of the After Stories in this page's downloads.

I loved this shit it was great good job

<3

Sorry,  but I keep crashing.   Right after Brahve goes to bed then you see the cockpit, says some line about jumping into space, then it lags twice and crashes.   I'm running the program thru the website on my android phone.   I plan on buying the vn eventually.   I really like the art.  Actually your other game synthetic.....  ian the biot,  actually crashed too, but I think that was my fault.   It crashed after I hit the go to other apps button.  I have meat hooks for fingers alot.  With the biot vn I was about 2 hours in and forgot to save...    I really like it though, another one I will be buying when I can.  Ty for making them.

"Good" Ending 2 hurts so much T^T Maybe I'm on edge 'cause a VN I read the other day turned out to be *brutal*, but all I want for these precious boys is one unambiguously good ending, and one *even better* ending. I hope After Stories comes out soon to heal my heart. 🥺 

(+1)

oh, no, I just read when AS is coming out! all right..... I'll just play the best route again and bask in the happy there.

Hope you liked the ride! :D

In the first after story that takes places after that ending, Danya and Brahve definitely need to work harder to get their (eventual) happy ending.

*SPOILER* *SPOILER* *SPOILER*



I was hoping for an expanded cg scene, when main character first meets the symbiant and it shoves its tentacles down his pants, where you could choose to let the symbiant keep going, and it progresses to it unzip his pants and taking them off. Then you can see the symbiants tentacles sucking him off. Also I can imagine the symbiant having mini tentacles inside his tentacles, and it would have been hot to see them explore the main characters peehole. 


*SPOILER* *SPOILER* SPOILER*

You are a talented artist, and game dev. I hope you make more content like this. 


Maybe a love story about wizards? I know wands out is on steam, but the quality is terrible, and too silly.

Sometimes I read something and I just know it comes from a F95 user.

I really loved this and so did my girlfriend although me and her were just like "KISS ALREADY BISH"

Glad you and your girlfriend enjoyed the game! :D

yeah, good job on it!

Gi it keeps saying it cant oatse the apkHi i downloaded the apk but it keeps saying it couldn't parse the file

Hi can you please show us the error message?

I’ve attempted to buy it again, but it still won’t work, neither did I get a notification of a purchase, 

So I have now spent at least $50 on this..I feel bad for being rude 

Please send us an email through inquiry.heartcoredev@gmail.com so we can figure something out. If your payment didn't work that means you were NOT charged.

Additionally, if itch doesn't work for you, you can try buying the game on Steam instead: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1883090/The_Symbiant/

Hi. First, I would like to share my appreciation for the game, I liked the stories, the CGs and most of all, the voice acting. ~  

However, recently I reopen the game  and the images overlap, from the background to the CGs... I tried to redowload the game, but the issue remains. 

ex: 

Also, I've purchased the pre-order version of the game (35$) and I didn't get the after-story part 1 pre-order version... (Is it normal ?) 

Thank you in advance Heart Core Dev,  J.

Hi Jaunathan, this is a common issue if your graphic card drivers are out of date or if you're using an old computer.  

You can try the following method:

  1.  hold the SHIFT key while clicking the game launch button
  2.  a grey screen will appear instead of the game, that's normal
  3. select "Force GL2 Renderer", then "Quit"
  4. Restart the game.
  5. If the issue persists, go to that grey menu again and select "Force ANGLE2" Renderer" instead

Please let us know if that helps. As for the second question, the After Stories aren't out yet because we haven't finished making them...! That's why purchasing their "tier" right now counts as a pre-order. You will be notified when they are out. We are hoping for Q1 next year.

(+1)

Hello again, 

I've tried the second option, and----- It worked ! Thank you  (I really thought the issue would persist). And, thank you again for your answer, your instructions.. 

I'll wait patiently until the next uptade. J. 

Hi! If I purchase the game here instead of steam, do I still need to download and install the adult patch manually? And if so, if I buy the game on steam, is it still possible to merge the patch with the steam version? I'm afraid I'm a little confused on how best this works :) 

dunno if you ever figured this out but the adult content is included in the download from this page. the patch is *for* the steam version.

is after stories 2 out yet cause when I go into the after stories it brings me to the first one

Hello! The After Stories aren't out yet, so if you paid $28 or more, you get the game and a pre-order of the After Stories. We're planning on releasing them on Feb 2024 at the latest date but hopefully sooner than that.

so even if I bought the 105$ pack I don't get the after stories with it?

To sum it up:

  • $28 purchase will unlock the After Stories after we've finished and fully released them
  • $105 purchase gives you early access to the After Stories, which is otherwise only accessible on Patreon right now

Hope that helps.

Hello dear developers!

I am writing to you on the subject of a steam ban for Russian players. About a year ago, they banned the page of the game called My Time At Portia. Recently, it has become available again for Russian accounts. So.. maybe it's just a bug? Or is something mixed up or missing? I suggest you talk to the developers of the game My Time At Portia, maybe you will figure it out))

I really want to play Symbiant DLC, so don't leave us!) Bye! =))

(2 edits) (+1)

This is very upsetting because Russian is the first language The Symbiant was translated to and we know many SMB fans are from Russia.

But aside from asking them what happened, there is nothing we can actually do on our own to reverse the ban beside asking nicely. Perhaps they will answer faster if a lot of people ask them directly (through forums? creating a ticket? an email? I don't know) but we don't want to get other BL game developers and Russian fans in trouble either.

My Time at Portia's case is quite different, and they don't seem to speak English, so I'm not sure they will be able to help us. Thanks for the info bit though!

(+1)

Thank you for the answer) And for your wonderful game)
I hope all problems will be resolved in your favor =)

(I will still buy all the DLC if they are available ;ъ )

So, about that.. we have received a confirmation from Valve that they have been contacted by Roskomnadzor demanding that they permanently remove the app from the region. Which means that Russia officially banned the game. :(

(+2)

It's sad to hear that.I wish our government wasn't so homophobic.Even as hetero, it pains me to see how they negative relate to everything related to LGBT.

(+2)

Hello, 

I bought the game on steam. But in Germany the adult patch is banned maybe ? 

Can i do something? 

Or when i buy it here, can i play it then? 

Sorry for my questions, i'm a little sad about this :(

(+2)

Hello! You are in the right place to get the patch. It's the "adultpatch.rpa" file in the demo download section and it's free!

If you need instructions on how to install it, you can read them here.

(+3)

Thank you so much 😭 it worked. I'm so happy now

Enjoy the lewds! =D

Why did you block access to the game in steam?Is there a special reason for this?A month ago it was available, and now access for my region is closed.Which is very sad.Since I wanted to buy it in the near future.

Upd. Nevermind

Just seen last tweet about ban .Our government is really dumb.

We asked Steam staff about it last week and we haven't gotten any proper answer from them. All we know right now is that Valve is the one who banned the game from Russia, not the Russian authorities. We asked them on un-ban the game, but we can't guarantee anything. :(

(1 edit)

I'm sorry that I lost my temper without understanding. I don 't dont mean to  be rude .This is very strange, considering how many LGBT games are available in Russia (I can freely buy any of them and have more than 20 on the acc), but for some reason they banned yours.I wonder if Valve trying be safe,since  LGBT laws get more stricted evey year here.But the same Dear Monster came a bit earlier  in january and they did nothing against it.So i really dont understand,why Valve did this with your game.And i sorry that you have to deal  with all these restrictions and problems.

Are Russian cards still accepted  if I decide to buy the game here?

No worries, we really hope Steam unbans the game. As it turns out they're the ones who did the ban, not Russian authorities.

Itchio accepts Paypal and Stripe (credit card), but we're not sure it's going to work for you.

Hello! If I want to play the NSFW version on Android, can I just purchase from this link?

Yes!

I love this game and I keep replaying the sexy stuff. :D I love how it's hot and "kinky" while still being very gentle and loving. <3 Can't wait for the afterstories! (Oh and of course, the voice acting and soundtrack are aaaweeesooomeeee!)

Thanks for leaving these super sweet words on this page! We're glad you enjoyed the game <3

Is there a way just to pay for the after stories?

We will create a separate page for the after-stories soon-ish. :)

Hi, just wanted to let you know that GOG has a broken download link to Symbiant adult patch and they have been unwilling to fix it for about two weeks now. So if someone buys the game over there and wants the patch they won't be able to get it.

(1 edit)

Greetings, we are sad that you had to comment on itchio in order to reach out to us. We tried updating the build through GOG's tools but it's still stuck in the oldest available version. We reported the issue to them and they'll probably get back to us next week.

In the meantime, the adult patch on this page should work if you haven't tried that yet.

(1 edit)

I’ve commented before on this, which was completely my fault since I clearly can’t read properly, but I’ve bought the game, and yet, I can’t get past the demo, on steam or Ichio, 

it is a tad bit disappointing as I’ve been looking forward to playing this, the demo was quite good,

(1 edit)

Hello, are you able to download any of the "FULL GAME" files? These are the ones  you are looking for. You are the first person reporting this issue.

I attempted too, but it either crashed my computer, or showed up blank

I also didn’t receive an email about my purchase, or a text message

(+1)

hey! i purchased this on steam and i dont know why i cant see the plus 18 drawings? even tho in steam i clearly put im older than 18 years old.do you know why that happens?

Hello Zeiya,

Are you from Germany or China? If so, your country's laws prevent Steam from installing the 18+ patch. If you're not from these countries, then can you please check whether the game's Adult patch DLC is enabled in the game's steam settings?

(+1)

ohhh that was the problem!! tysm i really appreciate

You can find the adult patch in this page. Link to installation instructions is at the top. :)

thankiu!!!

Hi Alicys, this seems like the purchase page and doesn't seem like itch counts the game as purchased on your account. We haven't been notified of someone spending that amount either on our end.

just finished four routes and OMG our boy Danya is so hot <3 thank you for making this so my fantasy could be fulfilled <3  are there after stories coming? if so when are they coming? wish the dev could add some more kink elements to it (like rubber/latex/transformation/alien impregnation xoxo

yass

the good ending made me tear up goddamn it

also props to the dev for making juni more relevant because representation matters 希望后续赶紧出来呀

HEY. I just wanna say thank you all for your endeavour and kindness. I bought this game on Steam. But unfortunately, I was in Mainland China and was inaccessible to the adult patch. Yesterday I felt so bad that I could not satisfy myself in this wonderful game. But now I knew this website and I got the patch successfully. Just wanna say thank you very much, you save my day forever!!!!

We're super happy you're enjoying the game! :D

不知道为什么,加了补丁后,游戏玩到第二部分H后面就弹出一个游戏错误的界面,试了好几次都这样。不能继续体验更精彩的剧情,太难过了!T..T

你好。你能给我看看错误信息吗?我还需要知道游戏的构建号,你可以在主菜单(标题屏幕)的右下方找到。构建号应该看起来像 "S-1.0.5"。

Hello. Can you please show me the error message? I also need to know the game build number, which you can find at the bottom right of the main menu (title screen). The build number should look like "S-1.0.5".

好的,非常感谢!构建号是:“S-1.0.8”

抱歉,Android 版本只能在 itch.io 上购买。购买 Steam 即可获得 PC、Mac 和 Linux 版本。

I love this vn I bought it right away on steam I ran through it pretty fast I was curious but my farther in law passed suddenly and have to leave state I can’t wait to play it again thanks so much for your hard work 

Sorry for your loss and hope you get the chance to play the game later!
BTW I find it amusing how so many people from Steam come on the itch page to talk about the game instead of Steam's forums x)

Désolé de vous déranger a nouveau, mais comme vous pouvez le voir sur le document ci-dessous, je n'ai pas le lien de téléchargement pour la version Android malgré l achat fait il y a 6 jours. 


Euh... Tu as acheté Synthetic Lover, qui est un jeu complètement différent de The Symbiant. :o

Page de Synthetic Lover : https://heartcoredev.itch.io/syntheticlover-sfw

Page de The Symbiant : https://heartcoredev.itch.io/smb

OK ,now that I finished the game a full review: I still LOVE LOVE the game, I believe Brahve is one of the most beautiful characters ever drawn(in all media), I like Juni and the fact that you made her an interesting character and not just a token best friend, and of course our MC is just an adorable muffin. Two SERIOUS OBJECTIONS though: one, the game is short! Understandable, since we have one love interest, but still I cannot forgive you ,unless...we have a sequel! So if you sirs and ladies who developed the game are reading this, pretty please after the After Stories make a sequel! I am not ready to say goodbye to my babies yet. And the second objection: please when you describe a lovey dovey smexy scene illustrate it also! There were some scenes only described and not shown (eg in the gym, or in the shower), and we simply need to see the same beautiful visuals like the rest of the game! That is all, great job guys and I will see you in the after stories!

Hello! I am trying to access the full game, however as I went through, the Chinese Simplified texts suddenly turned to English. Is this a bug or simply translation is not yet complete? Thanks!

Hello, please download the latest update of the game. This problem should be solved. :)

Bonjour je n'arrive pas récupérer la version Android que j'ai acheté car dans les liens que je reçois il n'y a que pour Mac et Windows. 

que puis faire pour avoir enfin la version Android ?

(1 edit)

Salut encore ! Si tu vas dans les "Downloads" de cette page, tu devrais trouver "The Symbiant FULL GAME for ANDROID", qui correspond à ce que tu cherche. Ce fichier est téléchargeable pour toute personne ayant payé $20 ou plus.

Bonjour,  je n'ai toujours pas reçu le lien du jeu pour Android que j'ai 🥺

Pouvez-vous me dire quand je vais le recevoir ?

£$105 for what exactly?

Permanent early access to the After Stories, for those who really want to support us and can't wait for the end of the year to start playing it.

If you just want the regular after-stories when they come out, that's just an extra $8. ($28 tier)

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!

apparently in the malaysian steam store, the bundle only contains the game, the ost, and the guide, but not the artbook [it shows up as a separate dlc, its just that it's not in the bundle]. mind looking into this?

(+1)

Hello Vincent,

We previously made a bundle that contained the artbook and CG pack as well as another bundle where you could purchase The Symbiant and Y Press Games' Dear Monster together. However, as we discovered, the bundle made The Symbiant completely un-buyable for German and Chinese players.

The only way to make The Symbiant available for purchase on Germany and China was to remove The Symbiant from any bundle with adult content inside it in order to keep the base game 100% "kid-friendly".

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you can still purchase the artbook separately (on Steam) if you still want it.

I bought this game in steam and installed a patch, but it seems that it is only displayed in CG, but the plot is still deleted. Is this normal?

(-1)

Hi, do you still have this issue now?

谢谢,解决了

Hi, I download the NSFW patch and wonder which I should insert it into which file?

When you go to the root folder of the game you will see a folder inside. It's called "game". Put the patch file in there.

(+1)

Thank you!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Love this game so much!

<3

Hi! Unfortunately, Steam does not let me buy the sfw version of the game there. I am located in Germany, unfortunately, so I cannot access the adult patch in the Steam store, but I should theoretically be able to buy the sfw version from them as only adult content gets blocked in my country, i.e. the optional patch.  However, I am unable to access the store page of the sfw version on Steam.

Is there any way to buy the sfw version on Steam and get the adult patch from here (as mentioned by you further down in the comment section)? I was able to buy the sfw version of Synthetic Lover on Steam and install the adult patch from itch.io without issue.

Would I be able to activate the Steam key that comes with a purchase of the game on itch.io?

Hey Boglinqueen! We'll upload the FREE NSFW patch here on itch.io a sap so you can download it and insert into the game to get adult content! Will reply as soon as it's up.

Thank you so much!! But there still seems to be an issue with the sfw Steam version, I was now able to access the store page and I can see the price of the game, but when I try to put it in my basket it says 0.00 € and does not let me complete check-out. Others have the same issue, there's a thread on Steam. Do you have any idea how to resolve this?

The FREE Adult Patch has been uploaded to our itch.io page. Unfortunately, it appears that the game has been banned in Germany on Steam. We don't know if its permanent or not (we will try resolve it), but it looks like the only way people can purchase the game at the moment is itch.io or GOG

(1 edit)

Thank you for looking into this! It would really suck if the sfw version were banned in Germany, there's no reason for it I can think of and unlike other banned games I can access the sales page and view the price, but not proceed to check-out. This has never happened before. Also, the sfw version of Synthetic  Lover is still available on Steam and I can put it in my shopping basket and proceed to check-out with my cart showing the correct price (not 0.00 € like it does for The Symbiant). It would be awesome if you could try to get to the bottom of this.

It's just endlessly frustrating to be a fan of visual novels living in Germany in this day and age. :( I am so grateful you sell your games through itch.io as well.

Could it be related to the bundle sale somehow? The store page tells me the base game is 17.99 € (if the game were truly banned here, I would not even be able to access the store page). However, the bundle deal on the same store page says that 2 components of the bundle (the main game and the patch) are blocked and I can only see the soundtrack and the guide, both of which I can add to my shopping cart and proceed to check-out just fine. Perhaps it's the inclusion of the blocked patch in the bundle that somehow prevents people in Germany from buying just the sfw base game? Just an idea. Again, I appreciate your help. :)

(1 edit)

Thank you for the tip! That's a very good idea! I just removed the patch from the bundle - pls let me know if it works!

Hello I have a problem I can not activate the option from the adult content the "package" i have is the 105 one i really don't know if i should have the demo or just the beta i'm really confused and would be really grateful if you could help me :) 

(sorry for any spelling mistakes I'm using the translator)

Hello, did you purchase the EARLY ACCESS version that is priced $105 on itch? Or did you purchase it through Patreon?

Also, can you please give us the exact name of the package you downloaded?

Deleted 1 year ago

comprado no patreon 

O nome do pacote que comprei foi Xenophile

Please download the build again, I updated it to N-1.0.6 version.
