Overview:
The second released episode of The Little Black Bestiary, a series about cute monsters and the humans that date them. This episode introduces Tainara, an Iara from Brazil whom is an international student, a music major and an avid gamer. She challenges the protagonist to a video game strip bet with a predictably lewd outcome.

This episode is mainly a visual novel in it's story segments, but the game you play against Tainara is a fully featured pong-like action game with fighting game inspired mechanics and 7 unique playable characters. The game also allows you to trash talk and distract Tainara mid-game to affect the way she plays. There are 4 different 'base' sex scene cgs and the way the scenes play out depend on your final win/lose count when you win (or lose) the strip bet.​

Oooo, I like how she looks in jeans! :love:
Kind of a shame the explicit goal of the game is to remove them then.
But on that note, we actually did try out several outfits on her (I have concept art I can dig up!) including several shorts and skirts and dresses, and we agreed the jeans were the best looking ones.

Just let me know when I can put my cock inside that vegan feet girl.
Vegan... The fairy? Hoping to finish that one by the end of the year.

I've been waiting on this for awhile.
Sorry it took so long. Hoping to release the next one much sooner!


Black Bestiary? I hope that means we get pregnancy at some point.
The series title is a pun on With a Bestiary in the sense that a JRPG would use it in. A pregnancy thing isn't specifically planned but it could happen, I suppose.

I knew a footjob was coming :LOL:
Lol, that was purely a tatical decision because we needed a sex sceene that works in the "pure loss" scenario where the protag is butt naked and she's fully clothed. A footjob worked better for the slightly femdomy slant (hey, it's your 'punishment' for getting your butt kicked) than a blowjob or handjob though those could have worked.

To many games like v1.1 or 0.1 dont get me wrong I like games like this.
Just to stop any possible confusion. This game/chapter is *done*. Although it's very short.
It's not an incomplete build or anything. If people are numbering their versions properly anything that starts with a zero is incomplete (which is what I figured you're complaining about?)
The 1 means it's complete and the .1 indicates the bugfix and feature updates since the 1.0 release (Which was patron only)

Aw man I got this through Itch.io yesterday and loved it, like I did the first entry of LBB as well.
Just some pointers for others as to what worked for me (considering the Mortal Pongbat minigame is actually decently hard):

I've had the most success with the centaur character. Just catch the ball in your horseshoe, move to the top or bottom edge of the screen and tickle your waifu. She won't be able to move her paddle.
Same thing works for your special/super activated with the space bar. Just hit her with your horeshoe-string thing and watch her be stuck in place. Sometimes it even holds long enough to score twice.
I think flirting with her will slow her paddle movement down a bit, which might help for the occassional score. Haven't noticed anything different for taunting or complimenting her though.

And since I'm feeling generous, a quick CG guide (off the top of my head..):
- Clothed Footjob for losing every game
- Underwear facesitting and footjob for losing after getting her down to her underwear
- Slight variation of the above for only having either bra or panties on
- Sex for winning
- Blowjob + sex for winning without losing once (blowjob has two variations for facial/swallow)

Think that was all.
Again, really nice and sexy game. Character was cutely written too.

Thanks, and mostly spot on.
FYI you can loose ONCE and get the BJ. (or you SHOULD be able to. If this isn't the case I dun goofed)
Basically you need to still have your shirt.

Taunt and Praise both nudge a hidden variable that affects Tainara's 'difficulty' level mostly in future matches. If you taunt her a lot (and also if you over-use tickle, actually) she'll use better tactics sooner. While using praise/flirt once in a while will cause her to go easier on you a bit longer. The immediate effect of most of the buttons is honestly kinda subtle. (Her easiest difficulty should pretty much never use special attacks)

Taunt makes her 'more aggressive which basically means she'll block less and parry more. If you *want* to go for a longer parry volley chain then taunting will make her more likely to participate. Also, depending on her character it might make her stock her meter just so she can spam two special attacks in a row at you.

Flirt is supposed to make her 'distracted which reduces her odds of going for a block, parry or dash for about 10 seconds.

Yeah, tickle flat out prevents her from moving for about 5 seconds.


Yeah, that centaur was probably the character I did the best with myself, honestly. I found MOLA and Galenta's specials to be pretty effective against the AI but those are also intentionally designed as the harder characters to use due to their movement.


Also, in response to your review, Tainara is based on this:

Ahh, thanks for elaborating on everything, interesting stuff.
I didn't test if losing once still gave you the BJ, I did the perfect run at the end cause I saw CGs were still missing and figured it's the last thing I could do.

And I actually checked your LBB website right after writing my review cause my lack of knowledge annoyed me there and read up on Nara's (and some other characters') profile there to find out her species. Some really charming writing there.
Real neat to still find out about new mythological creatures to this day, even with being interested in mythology.

Wasnt the next chapter about a fairy?
Anyways this really took quite a while, i remember the first one being released more than a year ago so it took me by surprise to see this here after basically forgetting about it.
Nice to see a new chapter anyways, looking forward to see what else will you come up with.

I think space bar is trying to do too much, since there's often a lot of input delay and occasionally it decides to tickle instead of select/special.

It was, but I hit some snags with it so that was pushed back while this one got pushed forward. (Tainara's episode was originally going to be the third) On the bright side we're adding some more features to that episode to make up for the massive delay (Gender select for protagonist, each with their own scenes is in the works) but that means it'll also take even longer to finish. But that's one of the reasons there was such a huge gap between releases.

i love the soundtrack too where can i find the songs or is it a patreon thing
Thanks. The soundtrack isn't released yet. We do have a with the previous episode's original tracks available. (There are also some stock music tracks in that one that aren't part of the games original soundtrack) This episode's tracks may go up there as well at some point.


I think space bar is trying to do too much, since there's often a lot of input delay and occasionally it decides to tickle instead of select/special.
That's odd. The two inputs shouldn't be related and I disabled the Unity UI keyboard navigation on the clickable buttons to prevent just that. Does the enter key give you the same problem? What about rebinding the key from the launcher? Thanks for the head's up I'll keep an eye out for possible causes.

By the way that HTML5 build is online and currently under review at Newgrounds.

Since you're here CyberScherzo, are there any plans to incorporate all chapters into like, one 'full version' with all the episodes? I was interested in the other chapter with the dragon girl but held off on playing as I figured future additions would be in the same file, but looking on itch.io it seems like it's two separate games.

I get that there's different characters/possibly mini-games in each one so could easily be separate games, just curious if there is any consideration towards that.

This was so good! Now I'm wondering if that "...to be continued?" means something or not.
Isabel and Tainara's episodes are on entirely different engines. With different artists. And a new writer. (Isabel's writer is still with us, he's just working on the fairy's episode)

It *could* happen but there's no solid plans to do so right now and it honestly makes more sense just to keep the characters separated. The series is shaping up to be more of an anthology than a single huge dating sim with multiple routes and such.

That said, it's 100% on the table to expand upon the existing episodes and give each character more chapters. The first three episodes are all "single" dates and the story takes place on a single day. For "Season two" one option I'm considering is showing a longer-lasting relationship with the characters we already have besides constantly introducing new days.

I'm getting reports of black screens from different parts of the game from different people that I'm not getting. So I'm lead to believe the root cause may be system compatibility issues. Any information you would be willing to give me (Via private message if you don't want it public) about your computer like OS, amount of ram, graphics card, Browser for the web version, etc. might help me to narrow down the causes.

For now the most frequent offenders are the video playback on the animated scene, and people whom have trouble running the minigame at all (mostly on web version) so for the next update I'll include options to disable/skip both. (so the animated scene will use still CGs and I'll try to whip up a text based replacement for the minigame)
