A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android

The Thick Plot is a character-driven sci-fi GAY visual novel focused on immersive storytelling, atmosphere, and slow-building relationships. The world is still in its early stages, but every update expands its depth, characters, and interactions.


Story

You play as Silas, a vampire mercenary sent on a covert operation aboard a deep-space ship filled exclusively with men.

Your mission is simple: infiltrate the crew, seduce the captain and anyone else necessary, and retrieve a powerful object.

Survival depends on more than just completing the mission…

Right now the project is in one of the most frustrating stages of development: building a solid foundation. A large part of the current work involves improving the rendering pipeline, remaking older content, fixing technical limitations, and trying to establish a visual style that can properly support the game long-term.

Your support genuinely makes a huge difference and directly helps improve the quality, speed, and scope of future updates.

Update

Version 0.4Full is now available here!

  • Complete Caleb scene and encounter overhaul
  • Complete redesign of Caleb's look
  • First critical decision involving Nyra
  • General visual, lighting, and interaction improvements
  • Reworked environments and rendering pipeline

This is already our5th update since launch only 26 days ago, so I really appreciate your patience while everything continues to grow and improve. I genuinely believe the project will become much better with more time and development 👍

What means  wip

WIP means "Work In Progress."

Basically, it's content that's still being developed and isn't considered finished yet. 🚀

es muy prometedor

Its pretty good so far, Silas is hot and i like his personality so he should be fun to play, still too early to say anything about the story or the like but it has god bones so far. keep up the good work

Any plans to launch for Mac as well? :/

Hey, maybe in the future :)

Ren’Py does support exporting builds for Mac, so technically it’s possible. The main problem is that I don’t own a Mac myself, so I currently have no way to properly test if everything works correctly there.

I’d suggest just pushing the files out there and letting the users tell you if they encounter any problems. Luckily Ren’Py is Python, so it’s pretty consistent from one OS to another. If the game’s tested on PC and Android, and you’re not doing anything crazy code-wise, it’s likely to be just fine on macOS.

Curious about this one! Let's see where it leads :3 will play with more updates 

Wheen full game

(1 edit)

It was launched 17 days ago, so it’s still in the early stages; it should be full in 8 to 12 months ;0

So far so good. Silas is one hot vamp! Can't wait to see more.
