i'm having some issues with subscribe star right now so even I am unable to try it out. (i had some issues with another creator where i felt scammed, so i contact their support for help and got a "too bad nothing we can do" kind of reply, so i asked my bank to charge back, which then made my account go haywire so yeah...)

i hope i can get it fixed.

But its only 2usd to get access.

Oh. OH!
When I read "...a disease which cause mental regression..." and saw "female protagonist" and "corruption" tags I assumed Bimbofication or maybe just memory loss and easy gullibility or something.
I did NOT expect Infantilization.

Luckily/Thankfully the first few lines of dialogue (with blank screen background) made it clear what this game is about.
Thank you for that.
Your kink ain't my kink and I hope that's okay.

Good luck with your game.

Yeah this whole Sistine Chapel thing looked interesting until the Religious imagery came into play. :)
Everyone has their beliefs, but I suggest adding a non-christian version to make your building more interesting to more people. (y)

Seriously, there are a thousand other porn games in this forum, but you had to come here and let all of us know that you don't care for this kink?
I know this is an older comment but...

The Sistine Chapel has a sign outside the door emblazoned with crosses and other religious imagery. It is also literally called a Chapel.
This game has a completely non-descript title, "The Hive," an author with a non-descript name, and the word "Diaper" or similar terms is not mentioned anywhere in the tags, description, genre, or change log (as of this writing). So without a diaper/ABDL tag, you'll inevitably get looky-loos and people suggesting a version without the thing that is blatantly not advertised in the game's description, nor can it be.

I mean FFS i came here expecting insect girls and mind control!

If you want a more adequate description: This is like having the Sistine Chapel located inside a non-descript warehouse with no signage indicating that it is, in fact, a chapel.

So in some cases you might have a point, but in this one you do not.

I wish more people on here could be as respectful as you about this and would take the time to read the game description before downloading. Far too many people here don't bother.

I couldn't quit the game. I could only save my progress, but I couldn't access anything else from the menu.

Whoa...I didn't think a game like this would exist yet...here it is. Like, the art is good but like, out of all the things to make art of, women regressing into children isn't exactly what I call "porn worthy". It's more like anti porn. Or negative porn. The funny thing is, I am more interested in the story. Like damn...that is one hell of a disease...

The game has the dystopian setting tag. How far does that go? Some stuff like the character's real parents not being involved at all, the way they talked about the purpose of hives as "to remind us of how we succeed by working together like bees do" rather than just saying it's to care for age regressors, and said Juvies are "Ones that couldn't cut in in the world" is raising red flags. If resetting isn't actually just a medical condition, and it's a dystopian system for fixing or getting rid of undesirables, or if there are some other dark twist hidden here like a character who's supposed to be caring for the MC sabatoging her ability to recover, that'll ruin it for me. The tension that those could be places the story is moving towards already is. I'm only interested in this kind of story if the care she recives is actually for her benefit.

The problem is that the description doesn't actually describe much of anything. Nor are the genre tags all that informative. It's extremely vague and can easily be misinterpreted.

Some of the preview pictures certainly hint at what the game is about, but people may not be looking at those (and it's not as obvious if you're just looking at the thumbnails).

So yeah, the game kind of makes it easy for people to accidentally get tricked into playing something they are in no way interested in. And then people who feel like they've been tricked are far more inclined to be less polite about it when they complain.

If this thread basically had a ABDL/Diaper warning directly at the end of the Overview, about 90% of the people posting about it in this thread to complain probably wouldn't be here.

yeah i kinda did drop the ball on that part when i posted the request.
and did assume the image would be enough. but alas clearly it wasn't.

but at the same time compared to other games of this genre i do admit that the majority of responses here has been on the polite side.

also the game does provide a black screen introduction that clearly mention the intentions of the game.

Sadly this is a new world/universe and all lore we have on is from the game. so we just have to explore as the patches comes.
but the dev did make "perpetual change" which also at the front looked idyllic but then had a sinister plot behind the scene.

That's a shame. I think devs should be very forthright with that kind of information, though in this case maybe they were because I got enough of a vibe to think to ask. I might check back if I notice the game is closer to being done.

Been on the net long enough to understand what kind of kink is just from a quick look at the pictures but I can understand it isn't obvious to everyone especially anyone who has never come across it before.

I think the mods and the admin team on this site do a great job overall the only thing I don't understand is why we can't have more tags to avoid these problems I 100% agree with you on this. It can be very annoying for anyone looking for a gay/lesbian only game only to find the game might have 1-2 scenes of either content. Also transformation is a very vague tag which covers any kind of transformation when it would save everyone a lot of time to just add additional tags like genderswap.

More tags would be good for everyone, but applying them properly can get out of hand. I assume that's what the admins are afraid of. If you expand the list until it has the detail that people want, you'll have hundreds of tags and nobody is going to remember all the ones that they're supposed to put on each game. There is a lot of room for tags before getting to that point. Especially for transformation like you said. It's horrible looking for games that focus on transformation rather than happening to have a character become sexier at some point.

One thing I try to do in my reviews is score the game on how it implements each prominent fetish, because I think that's the most important thing that anyone is looking for before they start playing a game. Each tag has so many specific ways to implement it, with games I think it's most helpful to just have someone explain how the tag is used rather than splitting hairs on each thing like tagging on a booru.

So, I have decided to, against my better judgement, play this game. Kinda weird for a game like this would be considered to be "porn". The name seems rather misleading to start with. "The hive". I get it, it's based on the area they live in but kinda weird. Anyway, I love the art. It's professional and gives off the mix of summertime saga and a town uncovered style to it. Now, since the game is rather new, I will give a pass for not being as open compared to other games. I am rather interested in the lore of the game because the more I dive into this, the more I am just curious on the just the lore of it. Like, am I really allowing myself to become a baby? Or are they are trying to brainwash us into being babies? Why would they want us to be babies? I tried every possible path to see what would increase the stages of being an infant. Not because I am into it but because, again, it's just so fucking weird that I am just so tied to the lore. I look forward to seeing the next update. Which could take months and won't have much content but you know what? There are other games that will keep me busy. If you are not into the lord of the game and just want to jerk off to something, unless you are into diapers and women pissing and pooping themselves in diapers, I would suggest avoiding it. Cause the closest thing to a sexual act is breastfeeding. And even then, it's not...sexual. So...enjoy the lore!

for the kinkster the "dynamic" of and the thought of living in the regression is what does it.
similar to seeing an adult in lingerie we like seeing and adult in diaper.

but yes typically with PieceOfSoap games i come because of the kink, but i stay because of the lore.

Transformation really does need its nuances handled tbh.

Cuz let's put it this way: Transformation can encompass a magical girl turning into her magical girl form, a werewolf, body horror, bimbofication, and gender change.

Over at TFGames Site they actually do the granular work on the TF tagging and it works out pretty well, but other sites kinda miss the mark. Though I should point out the lack of a gender change tag is a bit of an issue.

Corruption kinda has the same issue. Being corrupted by turning into a filthy skank or corrupted by turning into an evil minion of the bad guy can have two different vibes. Especially humorous in that the former requires sex but the latter doesn't at all.
