Gameplay
The gameplay has been repeatedly described as similar to Mass Effect, but with "alien porn" and an emphasis on erotic interactions.[1][2]
Plot and characters
The game is set in the Prodigium Galaxy, a distant corner of the universe ruled over by the Imperium. The five nebulae that make up the Prodigium Galaxy are: the Dragon Nebula (home of the Imperium); the Hydra Nebula (home to the Kloi); the Kraken nebula (home to the Nikith and Vannera); the Yeti Nebula (home to the Teelee); and the Griffin Nebula (a colony established by stranded humans of a prison convoy with no way to return to Earth).
Development and release
Subverse is the debut commercial video game of FOW Interactive, a video game studio of the computer-animated pornography company Studio FOW. Crowdfunding for Subverse on Kickstarter has raised over £1.6 million within one month of as of May 24, 2019, making the game one of the top twenty highest-funded Kickstarter games to date.[1][3][4][5] Originally set for release in May/June 2019 in early access, the decision was made to cancel it, as they were advised by more experienced developers they hired that maintaining an early access model for a game of this size would be unwise.[6] The game is still in production.
