Hello! I purchased the game on steam, but it seems to be censored? Is there any way to get the uncensored version without having to refund the game on steam?
If you get an error when accessing the link, it means one of the 2 possibilities :
1 - You did not enable sexual content in your account settings 2 - You currently reside in Germany, China, Korea, UK or another country where adult content is banned
If you are in the second scenario, then you can get the free adult patch in this very page: look for "Adult Patch for STEAM" under the "Download Demo" section. You will then have to place the file in /TheSymbiant/game/adultpatch.rpa
Very odd! I haven't had any issues making purchases on itch before this and have been making purchases just fine since. I'll dig into it. Hopefully it was just a fluke, I really want to support your games! ♡
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be an issue on my end. I'm not sure why Paypal isn't letting me buy your games on Itch in particular, but I'm able to make other purchases elsewhere without issue. I've since bought your game on Steam (again through Paypal) which is definitly not my preferred platform, but I'm glad I can at least play it :)
Already done ^^ I haven't totally completed the game yet, but I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the art, writing, story, music and voice acting! The art especially; I have to just sit at stare at the cg's sometimes, they're so gorgeous! I'll definitely be buying more of your games in the future ♡
Hey! I'm putting together a co-op bundle for mlm themed projects and would love to extend and invite to you! The sale will being at the beginning of August ^u^
i hope more games like this can be made by this team; but i do hope for a bit more endings and CGs on the next project; the games felt pretty short and there arent any animations at all so the price point is a bit high for what is offered
Yes this is the full version of the game. To play it on your phone (after purchasing) please click on the file called The Symbiant for ANDROID. There's a heavy and light version, the latter has compressed images.
is it possible to download this game on a chrome book?
i downloaded the game through the google play store first and paid the $15 for the full version but it's skipping past the NSFW scenes even though i paid for it
so i came on here to download this version but now im not sure if it'll work
Hello milo08, Google Play does not allow NSFW content. This is why the game is less expensive there than on itchio or Steam. We are not allowed to even SAY it's censored either, nor to link to the NSFW version, or else Google Play will ban the app (it happened before). They are even more restritive than Nintendo and Playstation.
To answer your question: I'm sorry but you can't redeem an itchio copy with a Google Play purchase.
You're welcome to return your Google Play copy and buy it here though.
Don't worry, the conversion is automatically done by your credit card company! You can do a regular payment like anything else you buy online. Thanks for your interest in supporting the project!
hello again I commented months ago about that I bought the 105$ pack and that I get early access to the after stories/reunion which I did but it wasn't the full game I know it was still in progress when I played it but the full game is out now but I don't have it in my downloads which is why I'm confused do I get like early access to the full game? or do I have to wait when the game comes out on march 1st? is the game sold separately from the pack I bought sorry I have so many questions
Have you by any chance received an email from [itch.io] recently? We sent Re:Union keys last week for everyone who had pre-ordered the game.
If you did not receive that email, you can email us at inquiry.heartcoredev@gmail.com with a proof of purchase! We'll send you a key as soon as we see it.
Hello, devs! I just purchased the Re: Union. May I ask if this Re:Union doesn't have an R18 patch? I used a translator, please forgive me if the language is rude.
please download the Free adult patch here. https://heartcoredev.itch.io/smbr Scroll down and click "Download" and put it in your game folder. ...\Steam\steamapps\common\The Symbiant ReUnion\game
if you continue having an issue please let us know.
I just purchased a 37 dollar bundle here on itch.io. This does mean I can just download the after story (aka Re:union) as soon as it's out here on itch.io? Or did I misunderstood that? : ) My purchase overview does not state that, so I just wanted to make sure I understood the description above correctly. :> I so can't wait to play the main game though and I wish you a really great evening.
Hi Lee! We are in the process of moving all Re:Union pre-orders into a separate page. You will soon receive a key for Re:Union soon through an email from "itch.io".
Hi ac860421! For various reasons, the Google Play game is considered a separate product, which is why it's significantly cheaper than the Steam, itch and GOG version.
If you would like the R18 content, indeed a separate purchase on itchio/Steam/GOG is necessary.
Hi dev, I'm looking to purchase the game bundle on itch.io, and I have a question:
The descrption says it will come with a Steam key. Does this mean if I purchase the extras (OST, Artbook, etc), they will also be included as DLCs on steam? Thank you!
Hi IlyaMuromets! Unfortunately, you can only add 1 Steam key on an itch product, so the only Steam key we were able to associate with a game purchase was the game itself. The extras will have to be downloaded from itch and not Steam.
This game is awesome on so many levels: Voice acting is superb and hot; Art is gorgeous; Story is wicked good; Programming cut scenes - mini and full are like a movie, so professionally done. Well done to Heart Core Dev. Absolutely brilliant.
Originally the extra games were being offered with a $60 tier that's now disappeared, are those whose paid for that back then not going to get our promised access?
Hello! Everyone who pre-ordered The Symbiant Re:Union (previously called "After Stories") through Kickstarter or itch will receive a key to the game. We haven't sent the new keys yet.
The voice actors are the same! The only new voices you'll hear in the game are Chohra's and Riemphea's, who are voiced by Joey Sourlis and Elsie Lovelock respectively.
The thanks is all mine. Your team put in a lot of effort into a smutty VN. I was amazed to see full voice acting in the beta because well, it was a beta. You delivered a honestly life saving piece of art & I'm glad to have found it. Thank you
Hello game developers! I am a game fan and I really like the games you make! The plot of your game is really amazing! I would like to recommend your game to my close friends and also create non-profit fan products to share my love with my partners. (I'm not sure if the machine translation here is accurate, but I want to draw some fan works and print them into some laser tickets, not for profit but for gifting to friends) Can you allow me to do this? Looking forward to your reply , thanks！🥺
Is the Steam key from itch.io the uncensored version? I originally bought the game from Steam in Germany, but refunded it. Why does it not show the adult patch even when you click on "show the hidden DLCs"? Is it only region locked in Germany? Shouldn't it be written somewhere that you have to install a patch for the full content? I only noticed the lack thereof while I was already playing the game.
I know there`s an adult patch for Steam here, but after trying to hook Textractor to the game it kinda broke on my computer(text was overlapping).
The adult patch, like all adult content on Steam, are banned in Germany
We are literally not allowed to talk about the adult patch, or even IMPLY THE EXISTENCE of the adult patch on Steam. Not in the product page, not inside the game itself and not in the newsletters
What you're asking is thus completely impossible, and outside of our control. Doing what you're asking would ban the entire game altogether from Germany. We know, it happened to us before
However, we put the adult patch for free on itchio here. You can place it inside a Steam-purchased game
On itchio, we have no such restrictions. The game comes uncensored by default on the itchio version.
Is there any particular reason you're using Textractor?
¿Si compro el juego desde Steam y tengo la cuenta conectada, podré descargar la versión para android en el móvil? es por hacer el pago desde la cartera de Steam pero quiero jugarlo en el teléfono (la versión +18 con todo el contenido)

你好，我在steam上买了这个游戏，但是没有dlc没有办法解锁格外内容，我在steam的通讯上看见可以直接询问获得dlc，大概是回答“想吃肉”？Hello, I bought this game on Steam, but there is no way to unlock special content without DLC, I saw on the communication on Steam that I can directly ask to get DLC, probably answering "want to eat meat"?
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. 🥺
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.
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.

Hello! I purchased the game on steam, but it seems to be censored? Is there any way to get the uncensored version without having to refund the game on steam?
The game has a free adult patch that you can get on Steam : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2261480/The_Symbiant__Adult_Patch/
If you get an error when accessing the link, it means one of the 2 possibilities :
1 - You did not enable sexual content in your account settings
2 - You currently reside in Germany, China, Korea, UK or another country where adult content is banned

I think itch shadow-banned you :( When I try to make a purchase, itch is giving me a 'payment processor' error.
I'm an adult dang-it! I should be allowed to buy gay content with my own dang hard-earned money >:V
That's odd. We had several purchases after the time of your comment. Are you sure it's not an issue on your end?
Very odd! I haven't had any issues making purchases on itch before this and have been making purchases just fine since. I'll dig into it. Hopefully it was just a fluke, I really want to support your games! ♡

We had yet more purchases after your last two comments. Hmm, I really don't know what's going on.
At this point I can only recommend you to instead purchase the game on gog.com or steam, where you should have no trouble purchasing it.
Already done ^^ I haven't totally completed the game yet, but I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the art, writing, story, music and voice acting! The art especially; I have to just sit at stare at the cg's sometimes, they're so gorgeous! I'll definitely be buying more of your games in the future ♡
thanks so much for supporting us!
I'm glad the game is still around after the recent changes on this cowardly site. Let's hope better things are coming!
Hey! I'm putting together a co-op bundle for mlm themed projects and would love to extend and invite to you! The sale will being at the beginning of August ^u^
The form for that is here: https://forms.gle/imReKzqiDo9qrtqg7
Thanks and you'll consider joining us :D
Hey, thanks for reaching out! We submitted 2 of our games! Cheers!
Thanks a ton! That's very exciting 💕💕💕
i hope more games like this can be made by this team; but i do hope for a bit more endings and CGs on the next project; the games felt pretty short and there arent any animations at all so the price point is a bit high for what is offered
Feel free to add to wishlist on Steam! Our games go on sale pretty often :D
If im on mobile how can i download this when i purchased it
And is this the full version of the game?
Yes this is the full version of the game. To play it on your phone (after purchasing) please click on the file called The Symbiant for ANDROID. There's a heavy and light version, the latter has compressed images.
Please email us at inquiry.heartcoredev@gmail.com with a proof of purchase on Steam, and we'll let you know how you can play it on Android.
Good day! So the main characters are switch? You can't be top/bottom only?
That's right. They're switch and this is a plot point in the game.
Bravo, thank you for this gift. Love Danya and Brahve together. Juniper is the best.
Imagine if someone bought this for me...maybe.....hmmm....
How do I register for a steam account
Here? https://store.steampowered.com
i downloaded the files for pc but i dont understand how to install the game after extracting the folder
You need to double-click TheSymbiant.exe to launch the game.
is it possible to download this game on a chrome book?
i downloaded the game through the google play store first and paid the $15 for the full version but it's skipping past the NSFW scenes even though i paid for it
so i came on here to download this version but now im not sure if it'll work

You're welcome to return your Google Play copy and buy it here though.
Hey! I would like to purchas the game but I'm from Germany so I use Euro and I have no idea no how to turn the amount frum USD to Euro.
Don't worry, the conversion is automatically done by your credit card company! You can do a regular payment like anything else you buy online. Thanks for your interest in supporting the project!

Hi Lee! We are in the process of moving all Re:Union pre-orders into a separate page. You will soon receive a key for Re:Union soon through an email from "itch.io".
May I ask, if I have purchased it on Google Play, can I still get 18+ game content? Or need to buy again?
Hi ac860421! For various reasons, the Google Play game is considered a separate product, which is why it's significantly cheaper than the Steam, itch and GOG version.
If you would like the R18 content, indeed a separate purchase on itchio/Steam/GOG is necessary.

Ok, so if I preorder The Symbiant Re:Union on itch, there will only be 1 Steam key for The Symbiant Re:Union but not The Symbiant?

If you would rather get the games on Steam, I suggest you grab them there.

Weird question, but who bottoms more in this game?
I just downloaded the Re:union demo. Are the voice actors different from the main game? :O
The voice actors are the same! The only new voices you'll hear in the game are Chohra's and Riemphea's, who are voiced by Joey Sourlis and Elsie Lovelock respectively.
Oh! I thought Brahve sounds really different. :D Sorry.
Played the demo a few months back & it is easily one of the best visual novels ever made. Look forward to purchasing the full thing soon
Thank you for the kind words! we really appreciate your support!
The thanks is all mine. Your team put in a lot of effort into a smutty VN. I was amazed to see full voice acting in the beta because well, it was a beta. You delivered a honestly life saving piece of art & I'm glad to have found it. Thank you
游戏开发者你们好！我是一个游戏粉丝，非常喜欢你们制作的游戏！你们游戏的剧情实在是太棒了！我想向我的亲近的朋友推荐你们的游戏，同时也想制作非盈利性质的同人制品和我的伙伴分享我的喜爱。（不知道这里机器翻译是否准确，就是我想绘制一些同人作品，同时把我画的图印成一些镭射票，目的不是为了盈利只是用于赠送给朋友）不知道你们能够允许我这样做吗？期待你们的回复，谢谢🥺

Just played the demo, and honestly- I'll be buying this game some time in the future, for sure!

Hi Papierbluete. To answer your questions:
Is there any particular reason you're using Textractor?
I see that sucks:/ what reason does Steam have for banning it?
Textractor to hook the text for language learning purposes.
Long story short, Steam is forced to comply with German laws.

Excuse me, but where do I download this? I don't seem to see it here
https://heartcoredev.itch.io/smb-18patch This link should work.
thank you very much！
Hii, sorry if this a stupid question but is the main game completed? I want to buy it but I don't know of its episodic/ still in development!
It is! What's currently in development is the fandisk / extension of the main game's endings.
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
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

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.

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/
