🔞 ADULT: Symbiosis - High Quality

This game is still being continously updated!
4/4- Patched CGs, 2  new tracks and extra dialouges!  


Deep within the forest there is a grove
where the tree branches grasp and claw at your neck,
and the air is a thick miasma choking the very life out of you.
In the center of the grove lies the Witch’s House: arrogant, mighty, and wretched.


Magnolia is a witch who lives with her son in the forest but after a recent break-in, there's clearly more to this story to be told. A horror RPGmaker game where you're the witch trying to get these intruders out of your damn house. 


- Approximately half-hour to 1 hour of playtime. 
- 2 endings. 
- Cartoon blood and violence.
- Deals with topics of human experimentation and complicated family drama.
- Warning for some loud sounds and flashing images. 


Check out the soundtrack!
LGM is so cool and awesome and handsome and good at making music and he is an awesome goblin.

This was such a touching little story. I really loved it, Magnolia is especially well written and Mint is of course adorable. He's so tiny in the ending (A) scene!

Awesome game with a very cool mystery! Took a little bit to get Ending B, but overall a very well-made short game!

definately need an instruction function like what to do next got free roaming and lost interest very quick ngl

It took me forever to get ending B. This was a very good game and I loved the art. A very interesting game overall despite how short it is.

I love the story its so interesting and suspenseful. Unfortunately I did get stuck a few times and had to look up a walkthrough, so some prompts on where to go would be nice. Besides that, great game, love the endings.

Wow, I loved this game.

The art is very charming, the narrative is simple but very well told.

I love how it alternates between flashbacks and the present; it's very well done.

THE CLIFFHANGER LEFT ME CURIOUS.

I love this game. PLEASE turn it into a longer game. It's too good to be this short and over so soon. I want more game please

I played this as part of my Halloween Stream this year, me and chat loved the game! Very good!

This was a pretty fun game to play. I thought the second ending had more character development compared to the first one. Other than that, the game was straightforward, and the cast was very interesting.

young Magnolia is so beautiful :3 ending A is cute and ending B is sweet, i love it!

Spectacular, all elements. I would have loved to play a game based on this one, with a large explorable world and other characters. Incredible job. Thank you!

What is the code to the basement in ending B?

(+2)

Mint's birthday. It's on the bloody note in the book on the remaining bookshelf. It's cute how they both used each others' birthday on their locks. :)

I looked up a playthrough to finish it about a week ago but thanks regardless!

For some reason I can't go back to the previous room and I didn't think to check everything so I was stuck lol

Agreed, it's really wholesome!

Omg, this was so good! I loved this game so much, and I liked both endings. Ending B was a little bit disappointing because it ended abruptly, but I'll be looking forward to the ending if it'll happen. 

Love this game so much, discovered it for the first time last year and revisited it with friends again recently. Ahhh it’s just so good<3 all of the characters are so lovely and have so much to them even in such a short game… love love love<3 

(+1)

woah peak game... the cliffhanger on ending b is driving me insane, especially since I dont know what happens next... maybe they go live together again?? I got both endings; I honestly prefer ending a more because magnolia and mint are still together. really enjoyable game! >>>>

可以有多种翻译吗 我很需要它

I read a bunch of comments about how people were struggling to get ending B, I got it on the first try??

(+3)

Oh mint, my shaylaa 😭♥️ I completely understand her though for hiding away and  protecting the baby

whatevs.i got ending a,mint is safe and that all that matters :)

(1 edit)

How do I get ending b? I just keep getting ending 

Edit: Nvm got it, I like end A more tbh

The plot twist for ending b i had a feeling though with the door being locked everything was clean removed or hidden

I love this game so much, it's short and sweet. I fell in love with all of the characters, the characterization of them was nice to see even in a short time. I got both ending and they're both good in their own way. Amazing story telling! <3

Whats the code to the basement?

Nice compact story about a mad scientist. I liked it much

It's a little funny that I didn't realize that I haven't left a comment on this yet despite it being my most favorite game for months now.

The characters are rich and vibrant and incredibly full of life. Every time you have a character on screen, they make up the most of every second and every line. Each conversation, each interaction, and each expression feels intentional and layered. It is so fun, and I regularly go back to replay this and each time, I leave with something different.

Magnolia is a wonderful character. Her design is lovely, but the way that she acts and responds to things is even more so. She's selfish, proud, unapologetic, and so refreshing !! She is not a good person, but it is so easy to step into her shoes and follow the path she walks. Most of the time, when games offer dialogue options, it feels obvious when one is for making the players feel good and choosing the "nice" option and when the other is the opposite. Where the immersion is broken for the comfort of the players, but you don't hold our hand like this with Magnolia. Every one of her lines feels very authentic to the woman we come to recognize her as. It's refreshing and incredibly exciting !! I really love her !! Also, the relationship that she has with Mint is so endearing. It's amazing how much his presence influences her character as flavor text with him involves constant safety reminders and indulgences in his whims. "Careful around fire, Mint. I'm just locking the door. Yes, yes, anything else?" They are such a wonderful duo, and their relationship is one that deeply intrigues me.

I am also Incredibly Smitten with Dove. She is on screen for like 14 minutes, and each second is one where I am entirely focused on her. She's very bold and honest, in ways that are easily understood from the very start of her introduction. No wonder they were married, and of course they divorced. I just love her so very much.

There is so much that is said in this game, and so much more that is unsaid, that I find myself frequently over-analyzing the simplest things. This game brings me a lot of joy and I think about it daily. I just want to thank you for making and posting this, and also let you know how much I admire your work 🫶.

amazing game! I got ending A!
