Overview

Hypermancer is a 3D adventure RPG for players who want a mature gay romance wrapped around sci-fi exploration and combat. It plays lighter than its subject matter suggests, favoring steady progression over shock value.

Story

Set in the Dawn of Corruption universe, Hypermancer follows the growth of Rev, a hyper bara character shaped by Essence gathered from expeditions. The player's role is to strengthen him and push further into the world below their ship, uncovering more of the planet as his power and body change.

Gameplay

The core loop splits between managing Rev aboard the ship and leading expeditions to the planet's surface, trading combat encounters for the Essence needed to grow him further. Combat has a practice space on the ship using small slime enemies, letting players learn the fighting mechanics before taking them into actual expeditions. Dialogue with Rev branches based on player choices, tying the RPG and dating sim elements together as his strength and story develop in parallel.

Features

Hyper bara and muscle growth as central mechanics, not just visual flavor
Combat practice built into the ship, separate from expedition pressure
Branching dialogue system tied to Rev's development
Sci-fi planetary setting layered over a male-focused romance

Installation

1. Extract and run.

Changelog

v0.0.9

This might be the version with the most changes yet, the game is truly starting to take shape.
I wanted to add a little tutorial for the combat mechanics that don't take away the urgency of expeditions, so your ship now has little explorer slimes you can defeat and practice against.
This was also a good moment to setup some tech to branch and adapt Rev's dialogues in a deeper way.
Games like Hades that react and adapt to the player are really inspiring to me, and I hope I can do some of that here as well.
I also added some more in-depth scaling for Rev as he reaches different stages of his growth.
His silhouette now feel much different as he grows in size.
Have fun and see you next month!

Release Notes 0.0.9

General Features:

Made little story intro on New Game.
Added new slimes that run around the ship. They drop a small amount of Essence.
Slimes on the ship are explorers, they are smaller and can't fight the player.
Explorer slimes are green instead of blue.
Meant as a safe way for players to learn how to fight the slimes before heading into expeditions.
Explorer slimes drop Essence instead of Cores, trigger less growth when getting the loot.
Rewrote every dialogue to fit the new mechanics better.
Added dialogues on game start, hinting you to defeat a slime on the ship (skipped if you already got the loot from one.)
Rev will now update his dialogues to better lead the player on what to do next.
Added ability for Rev to grow you to your maximum size when at the current end of content.
Rev now grants no Essence at the start of the game. Slimes drop early essence instead.
Empowering Rev with the slime's Essence then makes him able to generate Essence when hit with the Hyper Beam.
Reaching stage 3 makes Rev generate Essence without needed to be hit by the Hyper Beam
Tweaked loot particles to be more visible with new artstyle
Tweaked hyper beam particles to be more visible with new artstyle
Improved cel-shader on metallics, overall easier on the eyes.
Added SFW/NSFW versioning tech.

Title screen now shows unlocked DLCs.
Added some little 2D art easter eggs by artist friends <3
