Description


The free demo version of Synthetic Lover is available on GOG.COM. You can download it here


In the year 2066, biologically engineered humanoids—‘biots’—make up a large percentage of the workforce.

The protagonist is one such biot and, like the rest of his colleagues, he lives to serve a single purpose: to fulfill his pre-programmed vocation. In his case, that is to be a companion in an adult entertainment center known as Dollhouse.

Servants exist as lifeless dolls until activated upon request, a biot’s self-awareness and free will are sealed off by design. That is how the protagonist’s days go until crossing paths with an opportunistic thief and a mysterious device in his possession…

Synthetic Lover is a sci-fi story about an individual who discovers the challenges of being human. During his journey, he navigates through the ups and downs of an imperfect life while trying to avoid conflict with a powerful organization, learning to understand emotions, forming friendships, and possibly finding love along the way.

Great artwork, two games in one

I do have a bit of experience with visual novels and also liked the presentation here. The art is great, and I liked the "Western style cyberpunk world" with some other elements. You also get two games in one or at least two "realities", as you have to make a choice who to follow early in the game. Some locations are shared, but the "routes" feel very different. However, I feel it would have had more potential. I did experience some quite deep and meaningful intimate moments and also liked the character development. But it did not get as far as advertised (with the uncensoring patch installed). There are few interactive possibilities to influence that, and the choices are mostly subtle. It looks like you really have to follow the choice guide to unlock the full potential.

A well-crafted, romantic Story

Synthetic Lover is a somewhat cyberpunk / noire, yet well-made story game. The soundtrack is pleasant, the story keeps you going. *WARNING! Maybe Spoilers Ahead!* If you take the most reasonable options, there won't be much romancing among the characters. And even though there are adult themes present, they're rather toned down. A few more "even if you play it safely, there's some spicy options" possibilites would be nice. TL;DR: If you're into a BL / yaoi story game and Synthetic Lover is on a sale - go for it!

Game: 1.5/10 Erotic: 1.5/10

The "game" part is very small, most of this is just reading a graphical novel. But there are some rare decision times, and those decisions affect what story line you get dramatically. Sometimes several decisions early on will stack against you and affect the ending, but it's incredibly hard to know which decisions affected what (without either trying 1000 possiblities, or looking up a guide). The novel was ok unless you were hoping for a lot of erotic content. The prize for selecting the right choices tends to be an image, which typically isn't overly erotic anyway. It's like it wants you to create the sexual content in your head. Most of the story line revolves around the political and social implications of this fantastic world, so if you're hoping for adult content this may not do it for you.
