Unbridled Hedonism is an interaction simulator played on a grid, with the player controlling a single character. You may move using movement keys, or by right clicking a tile to move towards it. You can inspect a tile with left click to view characters who are standing there.
Characters will interact in different ways over the course of a game - becoming friends, enemies, romantic partners, and (often) food. Clicking on a nearby character provides a variety of interaction options, with success odds for each based on your character's combined personalities and relationship so far. Descriptive text is generated at the bottom of the screen, letting you know what is going on in the world nearby.
Pressing slash will cause your controlled character to act automatically for a turn. You can also simulate the world for multiple turns using the buttons on the bottom left of the screen. The game will pause if your character becomes a vore target or needs to make a decision.
Depending on your game settings, this world may be one where vore is common, or one where it is unusual and frightening. Characters will react differently to vore based on their personality, traits, and game settings. Characters looking to snag an unwilling meal will often lure them to a secluded location, or wait until they are alone to strike. If a character is sleeping, masturbating, weakened, or undressed, vore success odds are boosted towards them and AI characters will generally target them more often.
By default, most characters prefer not to be eaten. Very few characters are ok with being digested. If unwilling prey has good friends nearby, they may try to free them from their predator. If you become prey, scream and hope that your friends can hear you...
Characters have needs which must be managed - hunger, energy, horniness, cleanliness, and health.
- Hungry characters are more likely to hunt, and will slowly lose health down to 50% if they become starving. To restore hunger, either visit the cafeteria or eat somebody.
- Tired characters are unable to struggle, and are very bad at escaping. Exhausted characters may even pass out and fall asleep on the floor in public, making them an easy target for predators. To restore energy, rest in your bed.
- Horny characters are more receptive to romantic advances. Depending on the character's personality, witnessing nudity, sex, or vore may increase horniness. If horniness reaches max, a character will have an orgasm and horniness will drop. If you are currently prey to a digesting predator, being too horny is a surefire way to melt down quickly.
- Dirty characters receive a penalty to success odds for most friendly and romantic interactions. People won't want to hang out with you if you're sweaty and gross. To restore cleanliness, strip down and take a shower. Clothes will stay on the floor unless you move tiles.
- Health measures how near to death your character is. The only way to kill a character is by digesting them, though a weakened character makes for very easy prey. Health restores slowly over time, or can be healed by resting at the nurse's office.
If magic is enabled, some characters may have the ability to cast spells. Spells cost 1 mana each, with most characters having a max of 3 mana. A character will typically be upset if they are the target of a hostile spell, though some spells like Arouse are only noticeable if they fail. By default, mana regenerates very slowly over time, increased by meditating or studying arcane tomes. Digesting someone will recover a great deal of mana.
Unbridled Hedonism is highly-configurable, with many options for setting up a game world, crafting character personalities, and more. Character image packs, dialogue packs, races, maps, additional in-depth tutorials, and more can be downloaded online, found on the UH Discord or on the game discussion thread at Eka's Portal. Hope you enjoy your time!
