The cyborg and the main character in Worlds of Wonders are one. Their bodies and experiences are so connected that they are no longer separate beings. This connection is based on a genetic and technological fusion, not electronics or machines. They share senses, thoughts and sensations through a deep symbiosis that allows them to experience everything together. The cyborg is not seen as a separate machine, but as a part of the main character.

The player's criticism is based on a misunderstanding of the basic mechanics of Worlds of Wonders. The player sees the connection between the main character and the cyborg as "sharing" and confuses this with classic NTR themes, ignoring that the two characters are not separate entities. The fusion is based on a biological-technological symbiosis, where the cyborg does not intervene in the relationship as a stranger, but is integrated - it is part of the main character.

The criticism of the sci-fi and magic combination shows that the player has a limited perspective on the potential of such genre mixtures. The fusion of technology and biology is a deeper, inner connection that should not be misunderstood as superficial "sharing"

Small problems with that point of views : the organic and the cyborg comes from differents universes and have differents pasts, desires, persepectives and objectives. The synchronisation doesn't retroactively change objectives factuals past events. Gaining memories of somebody doesn't make you the actor of those memories. If you are given the memory pov of a murder, are you responisble for the murder, should you go in jail for it? I guess not. Then why should action done by a separate body whose creation is not of your own doing and where the synchronisation was forced upon you be seen differently? For my part the creator didn't manage to convey a way where the mc original identity isn't lost in the story and thus I felt disconnected and annoyed by the cyborg. I don't like multiple protagonist stories, that removes immersion in one's avatar.

Concerning the mix of sci-fi/fantasy critics : there is no such thing in this story, the technological universe is separated of the magical one, no mix and technology anywhere to be seen. Every magic components of the story is kept separated from the science part, the cyborg goes to space where there is no wizard and the magic academy has a field that perturbs tech. So no it's not t being narrow minded it's the creator having done a bad job of combining two story by making them exist side by side. I'm personnaly a big fan of magitech or sci-fi with mystical power (star wars and the Dune books serie are a good example) but this is not that.

Not different universes but occupying different parts of the same. At the start of the game we see a magic user that is planning on some kind of strike against technology, since he feels it has gone too far, but that's most likely foreshadowing of even later plot points. Also it's pretty clear that MC is part of both magic and tech. Sure the writing could be improved on this part but it is there in the story. Big reason why we haven't seen the two mix so far too much is, as is explained in the game, that magic and supernatural is trying to hide its existence, like in so many urban fantasy settings.

Apologies and final analysis

I would like to apologize and clarify that I have looked into the script in depth. The analysis was clearly done by ChatGPT and myself and is based on the script itself. ChatGPT analyzed over 18,000 lines of text to find out exactly what the cyborg is all about.

He can write it perfectly and as logically as possible. Still, for most of us who’ve been playing since the beginning, there’s only one MC (and no, I am not talking about Vegito MC, I am talking about the first and "real" MC), and that’s not going to change.

Wasn't there a story of multiples worlds/universes?

There can be myriades of explanations why but the end results is that there is no mix/hybridation of sci-fi and fantasy in the game. That by itself is not bad or wrong but it is for all intent and purpose 2 differents plot lines with their own stakes, rules and goals. I just wanted to point out this is not a story that mix technology with magic, it's a game with a fantasy plot line/world and with a sci-fi one.
The solution from the creator for having the mc implicated in both is by duplicating the mc and having them go to differents paths. IF you put aside the question of indivudality, memories counting for action etc, you are left with what is basically reading 2 stories with the same character simultaneously rather than one after the other which is a story immersion breaker and can only detract from the quality of the stories rather than improving them. For me it is a bummer to switch from one correct storyline to another that is frankly less appealing. I think it is fair to point that out and critize it, I was attracted by the promise of magic with space elf and the way it was handle is disappointing.

Enjoy, dynamic, should work across updates if nothing related changes. Enter anything, no need for a code. Gallery unlocker works the same.

As always, if you like something, support the authors/developers of it.

There is a heptalogy (7 book series) by Piers Antony referred to as the Apprentice Adept series which does a great job contrasting two alternate realities for a planet; one is a magical one, the other technological. I read the series as a teen and remember it fondly. That would make for a top notch adaptation to a VN, or at least inspire one. This conversation reminded me of it, thought I would share it.

The human mind doesn't run dual cores, the explanation was always dog shit. In a world that relies this heavy on suspension of disbelieve dev managed and nuked all that suspension in sizeable number of players in one decision.

Well for now we are still flying half a game and the other half is what the skip button was invented for.

Karl Speidel · Friday at 12:03 PM

It's Danny To my understanding from the comments,femdom is only one path and not much in it? Its not a must have but I saw the tag and wondered if its more than 2-3 scenes,def something that is lacking in most games,to give some variety,not the standard and cliche story that keeps happening in all games.
Gonna try the game and post a review when done. Hopefully the game is ok,the pics and premise of the game are fine but I see alot of arguing and hate here and I wonder if its justified...

To be fair: We don't know yet. Maybe it's great, then I play it separately later. If it's not it's gonna get always get the skip treatment from me.

Hey there!

Today I would like to address a topic that has been the subject of many discussion: The Cyborg MC.

The introduction didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. Therefore, one of my goals for the update v0.3.0 is to rework it.

View attachment 4367299

Why v0.3.0?

v0.3.0 is the next game breaking update after v0.3.0. and in this update I am bundling changes that require a restart and make old savegames incompatible.

Among other things, I will clean up the source code and move the introduction of the Drooler app and the associated kink system to the beginning of the game to replace the old systems such as the kink-tag system.

And one change to the content will be the rework of the cyborg encounter. But why and what is my intention?

The Cyborg with its futuristic body is supposed to represent the Scifi part of the game and be a counterpart to the Magic side. And I wanted to introduce it and the Scifi part of the game in a unique and creative way.

I tried to bring the message across of what is going on in the minds of both the Cyborg MC and the original, the human MC and how their minds change throughout the encounters.
To explain everything as good and detailed as possible so that you as the player would accept the Cyborg as an alternate version of the MC and a playable character.

But in the attempt, I missed this goal somewhat. And I will try to correct this with the rework.

For example, the first mind link will happen directly during the first encounter at night in the MC's bedroom. This removes the entire dialog excess afterwards in which the Cyborg MC tries to convince the Human MC, who is unsure whether he can trust him. As the player, you get the opportunity to change perspective much earlier and play as the Cyborg with the memories from the previous game and the characteristics of the Human MC. Currently the Cyborg seems like an NPC for too long and the player is left wondering whether he can be trusted or whether he is a potential threat to the MC. Which is natural, but was never the intention.

This way I hope that in future more people can see the Cyborg as what he was always meant to be:
Two bodies, one person with the same set of memories and similar working minds (with slight differences due to the artificially supported brain) and the ability for you, the player to switch between the two bodies and enjoy the benefits of both of them in the future (Magic for the Human MC and advanced technology for the Cyborg MC).

I wish everyone who celebrates it a happy 2nd Advent!

I sincerly hope the author does not move to involve the cyborg with the love interests of the (Human) MC. No matter how much the author pushes them as the "same"character, it would ruin the story for me as i would consider that NTR. The whole cyberborg story should just be removed. Currently i skip the entire thing and hope the cyborg is never heard from again.
