Synthetic Lover - Adult 18+
Website |Twitter |Discord |Tumblr
In the year of 2066, biologically engineered humanoids known as ‘biots’ make up a large percentage of the workforce.
The protagonist of Synthetic Lover 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’s to be a companion in an adult entertainment center known as Dollhouse.
Biots are servants who exist as lifeless dolls until being activated upon request, their self-awareness is sealed off by design, taking with it their ability to think or feel of their own free will… That’s how the protagonist’s days go until the chance appearance of an opportunistic thief with a mysterious device in his possession...
Synthetic Lover is a Sci-Fi story about an individual who, unwillingly, finds out what it’s like to be human, to deal with hardships, overwhelming emotions, anxious thoughts, difficult situations and the imperfectness of life. It’s a journey of discovery, finding connection with others, fostering friendships, attempting to remain aware and mindful in the face of adversity and, ultimately, finding love.

thank you for supporting the game! The itch version should be 18+ already, if you're not getting the 18+ scenes please follow the walkthroughhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776315110
Wow, what a lovely, well-made game. It's super clear how much dedication was poured into the script and the art. Amazing job, this is def one of the highest quality bl games out there period imo (and I've played A LOT). Everything goes so seamlessly together, from the backgrounds to the interface design. Cheers to the devs!
I got the guide, did Bastian's route with all the different endings first and liked it a lot, so switching to Terrance was pretty drastically different. I'll admit, at first, I did not like him lol, but then thier romance got to build gradually unlike the whirlwind with Bastian (boy, he's a disaster but we love to see it). My favorite ending tho was the friendship with Terrance and romance with Karim. :3
Really enjoy what I've played thus far. Great work! The backgrounds are just stunning. So far, I've only played the Bastien route, but I couldn't access any NSFW content? Wondering if I'm not doing something that I should be. There are no preference changes that I can do and my download file says it's Adult R 18.
hey, Lou! Glad you're enjoying the game so far!
Are you playing via Steam or Itch.io? If you are playing on Steam you need to install the Free adult patch (Available on steam)
If you got the game on itch.io then the adult patch is already integrated.
Next: Did you get the romantic path? At least a Kiss? Or did you the Friendship path? To get the NSFW content you need to follow the romantic path. Here's a very comprehensivewalk through that should be able to help you out > follow the "Dominating Lover" path.
Hope that helps!
Hi! Just played through the demo and I loved it!
I was planning to buy the game on steam, but I notice the steam version only supports PC? But the itch.io version supports both pc and mac? I was really hoping to buy on steam (I like all my games stored in the same place) but I'm a mac user and I wouldn't be able to play it. Why is this the case?
If there is any help or info I could get about that I'd be more than happy to buy in a flash! I'm very eager to play after the awesome demo :D
Side question: Do Terrance and Bastian interact with each other even after the route splits in the intro? I really liked their interactions, I hope the other doesn't dissapear entirely after the choice!
Played through both Bastian and Terrance's routes in 3 days. I have quite a few trophies still to get but, I don't know if I have it in me to just do the friendship routes with either of them. I also do not know which romance I like more. I did Bastian first and damn.....I did the bad ending with him and nope'd so hard and immediately reloaded!!!
Then I took on Terrance's romance. They are both so so good!!! I think....I maybe like Bastian's more as his character looks so much like my FO4 character!! Right down to the hair style and colour. Anyway, both routes had humour, intimate moments, such sweet parts with them getting to know each other and ofcourse, the hot sex added in!! Damn Terrance is a bit kinky!!!! The art work in the sex scenes was amazing!!!!
I loved the voice acting, even down to characters that didn't have many lines, they were voiced wonderfully, like Estel. Also, Riko is an angel. I adore her and how she calls Ian Sunshine! I am now off to play Bastian's route all over again just to hear his lovely voice!!!
Best of luck for the Symbiant kickstarter. Played it's demo before I bought this game and I am very much looking forwards to playing the full thing!
Hi there! Thank you so much for your comment and all the good things you said about the game! It really brightened my day <3<3<3 and its super duper encouraging!
I love people's feedback on the romance and the different characters. So glad you liked Riko too, she's such a sweetheart!
And double thank you for supporting The Symbiant! Your help is so very appreciated! We will make sure to make a game worthy of amazing fans such as yourself <3
First I just wanted to say that I tore through this game and really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for Bastian, goodness. It was actually rather hard to force myself through the bad ends.
But second, Dr. Cerys is such a freaking social worker haha. My eyes narrowed so hard when she started with those questions.
Yey! So glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you so much for letting us know! Bastian is pretty easy to like, isn't he ? <3
But, yeah the bad endings are meant to be "bad" to contrast with the happy ones.
Thanks for the feedback about Dr Cerys! It's actually a character created from the ground up by one of our Kickstarter backers :)
Thank you so much for the kind words! The love is really appreciated!
We also just released the demo for our new game The Symbiant exactly 2 days ago, so feel free to check it out :D

Yes! We have great news to share! Synthetic Lover just got released on steam today:bit.ly/3qSGI0w
Definitely! I just made it available as a separate Itemhere on itch.io
lowkey do you guys plan to make a guide? ive played multiple times for both routes and changed my choices and the ending always stays the same?
Bastian, we become bros with Kiko and meet up
Terrance, I end up with Karim
I cant tell if its an error or if its just one single choice I keep missing thats getting in the way? Its getting to the point where it's admittedly really frustrating to play.
wow.. you're here with SL! how could i miss this? lucky there's yaoiRecs :D
been ages since we "met" on DA, then i checked the lemmasoft page a coupla times.. glad you're on itch and funded! gonna play the demo, really looked forward to this for a long time, YAY! btw, are you gonna stay on itch only or try to get this on steam?
EDIT:now i've played the demo.. omgomgomg, it's even better than i thought! i knew it would be awesome from what i saw on lemmasoft.. but still, the demo blew my mind! can't wait until it comes out (hope you guys are all well btw, in these times...). this game is in my top 5 of best VN ever!
