VERY atmospheric, the sound effects and background noise of the caves is MWAH like im there!
incomprehensible illogical godlike machine is def something absolutely fascinating, something i could become fixated on figuring out...
THE MACHINE'S SOUNDS ARE VERY COOL! sorry im just liveblogging my thoughts now um hope thats okay
"interestingly shaped appendage" LMFAO
leave it to whatever epic freaky ancients these were to create a machine powered by fuckin!
damn i wish an ancient machine rizzed me up like that
be in control for once, letting a machine take what it needs from you but getting to enjoy yourself in turn... im glad she got to have this :3
"my resting body was buried, over and over again" ohhhhhhhhhhh kind of paralleling with 59s own experience of closing off from intimacy... i understand themes and motifs mhm
FUUUUUUUCK THE ANGELS GIRL AND NOT IN THE FUN WAY, THEIR TRANSPHOBIC ASSES CAN SIT IN THE SUN AND STEW ETERNALLY SMHH
but :( the allegory is very effective... to be rejected and denied by the beings that should love you, that have alledgedly created you. sigh. fuck em, make your own meaning, you dont owe them SHIT
"i can tolerate my body the way it is now" sigh... the eternal conflict. i often muse over how the world and feelings of trans people will change as society changes with time. of course physical dysphoria can exist independently of the environment and social dysphoria, but if we one day reach a place where it is not out of the ordinary for any gender to have any sex characteristics... how will the world look like and how will people feel like? impossible to know really. but interesting to wonder about. does the fact that it is Possible to learn to tolerate it, somehow justify waiting that feeling out even if surgery or medication or godly intervention is within reach? something that should only be a personal choice and not expected or enforced by the state or medical industry. and of course tolerating doesn't mean living life to the fullest enjoyment and comfort.
AHEM anyways. WIRE BONDAGE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
59 fucks the machine more like the machine *gently* fucks 59! yahhooo! the pumping(?) noise is very effective wowww
OHHHH HER AS THE HEART... THE MOTION... FUUUCK THATS SO GOOD IMAGERY/CONCEPT
recursive machine energy exchange sex is not something i expected to read at 2 am on a monday but i am DOWN for it
NOOOO EDGED BY THE MACHINE LMAOOO
the cords being used to actually physically interact with her is PEAK
"was all transgender sex without the shame this fulfilling?" FUCK I HOPE SO!!
YEAAAAAA WE(59) FUCKING THE MACHINE!!!! TITLE DROP!!! idk how porn commentary works im just having a good time and that makes me make jokes lmao
YEAAAAAHHHHH BUST A NUT TO BUST OUT FROM UNDERGROUND WE ARE GOING TO THE UPPER TERRAIN(??) WITH THIS ONE
oh fuck and theyre climbing back up. excellent callback to the start, i wonder if the fork is gonna feature...
"that machine will suck you dry" ermmmmm i sure hope it will
GET FUUUCKED STAR DEVIL IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR U
the layer is still there. but FUCK you put a damn good dent in it
one ride in the machine and she's an exhibitionist /j (GOOD FOR HER esp in comparison to covering up in fear of the scorching heat and from plausible shame... look at the natural form of humanity and weep firebastards
OUGH distorted machine purring :((( little meow meow...
IT GROWS BACK? Ok that's. a decent amount less worrying tbh- painful still of course but woag... biological machines my beloved
woah... they won the battle but the war isnt over... very topical.
okay this might be an unbearably long comment but LET IT BE KNOWN i enjoyed this wonderful visual novel thoroughly and will reccommend it to at least a few transgenders who appreciate this sort of stuff :3
absolutely wonderful thought provoking heart and penis touching creatively inspiring rage igniting and journey reappreciating work, fucking awesome!
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST VNS I'VE EVER READ
The proper nouns for Layer, Terrain, Machine, etc fuck immensely
59FTM hooks directly into your most primal understandings of the world. You don't need to know why 59 climbs the canyon in the beginning, but climbing a rock wall is a pretty human thing to do
The sex was so good. The defiance in it all.
THE FUCKING VISUALS. holy shit, I am fucking speechless at the presentation, the amount of bespoke art in this feels surreal to find in this density and this runtime. THE STYLE OF IT ALL. FUCK.
This is one of those cases of "I think I'd have a different body of work now if I played this a few years ago.". Truly transformative and lovely. Fuck I need to play more of your work.
I really love your work so this honestly kind of made my day.. thank you so much for playing!!
absolutely an amazing read. religious trauma and queer sex a lovely time.
The mix of atmospheric horror, the magic of technology in queer liberation and the overwhelming malaise that is religion on trans' people's life was made into such a lovely work of art. I love 59 and The Machine so much
very atmospheric and creative!
lovely!
I really enjoyed this a lot.
I want only the best for 59 and the Machine.
Also the sex was peak. very well written.
I think the art was also very well done. The cut in images and just overlaying the text on it all was a very nice idea, and really pulled things together into an enjoyable experience.
Just really excellent overall.
A very wonderful visual novel. I love the visual cut ins, that's a really interesting way of using the medium. I can tell you put a lot of effort into them. They were laid out very well. I liked the world building, it hooked me early on. The machine fucking was hot as well. Very good all around.
WHATTTTT
holy shit
god that was amazing
Really good storytelling! I like it when I'm left yearning for an epilogue that would probably ruin the experience somehow, so it's better it was left to my imagination. Well done! :)
PS: You have an article from Jan 15th on autisticobservations-dart-carm to thank for referring me here.
Oh gosh, I'm the original author of that blog post, so knowing that you discovered and enjoyed this game because of it makes me incredibly happy! <3
Aww. 😊 Good job!
absolutely delightful experience!! equal measures harrowing and touching and sweet. actively struggling to find words for specific praise because everything to talk about was great - the visual presentation, the sounds, the emotions, the world... and the sex scenes were really sweet and about as comfy as I think enigmatic machine sex could possibly get. I have brainworms now (positive)
the beginning was so claustrophobic and nerve wracking. im so proud of her. this was amazing
I love this game so much! The parallels between the beginning and ending scenes were perfect, the amount of depth in character writing and world-building was inspired, and the sex scenes were really fucking great. Plus the audio and visual presentation were both excellent, making it the cherry on top of a delightful narrative experience. Great job!
the presentation of this VN was genius! it felt like I was reading an animated comic with how all of the panels appeared. kudos to you guys for drawing all of those art assets, oh my god. the compositions were fantastic. the character art felt both loose and clean, and complemented the backgrounds extremely well. I had to take a moment to stare at how nicely the BG images were processed and textured. my one critique visually was that at some points it was hard to read through the text, as the black outline was a little thin against busier scenes... other than that, amazing job!!
the writing of this game was so, so good. i seriously loved your depiction of the trans protagonist. she was an entertaining read and I adored her connection (literally and emotionally) with the Machine. not once did the sex scenes feel exploitative or fetishistic despite its explicit nature, yay!!! i don't know if i can talk about spoilers here sorry but the depiction of sex and the weight it carried in this game was a breath of fresh air. what a wonderful game.
Dang that title did Not Lie
Huge fan of this! First off I'm absolutely astounded by the sheer amount of art assets in this, the art was super appealing to look at. The climax scene art pieces in particular were really fun, and the limited color palette worked excellent. I really like the grungy aesthetic of the backgrounds, as well!
The prose was fun, the intrigue was great, and the lore was explained neatly in a way that didn't feel over the top. It just was NICE to read; I just kept being happy that the protagonist felt so respected by the narrative in a way that felt liberating and satisfying.
Huge kudos all around, and shoutout to your audio person for doing such a good job on the sound design! Y'all should be proud of yourselves!
may be a liiittle biased because i'm the audio guy but i think this is a very special little vn. incredible visual style, really sweet heartfelt story of connection and love winning against all odds, sweaty transgender gay sex with a giant unknowable machine. it has it all. also i need to make out with both 59 and the machine's monitor like right now immediately
KILL GOD GET FUCKED im in love with machine forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
