TELLURICENE
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Welcome, Researcher,
As you may know, an emerging species is taking root—preternatural, highly intelligent, and swiftly spreading.
Classified as the Vivus glomerorum, these new lifeforms threaten to infiltrate our resilient nation. It’s up to our bravest and brightest minds—like you—to investigate and decide: friend or foe?
You have been selected to conduct objective scientific research (sensory testing, radiation resistance trials, developmental studies, and more) to piece together the truth behind the Vivus glomerorum. In the wake of a looming Telluricene, you will have an intensive ten days to decide whether this new era comes to fruition... or is forever halted.
Your great nation thanks you for volunteering in Project Sporesight.
❤️ LOVE INTERESTS❤️

You can sign up through our website to stay in the loop. We're excited to share it with you asap!
DAYUM WHAT WAS THAT?! THIS IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Can't wait for the full release. Do you have any estimation when it will be released in full? Is there any chance it'll be released this year? Pls pls pls i'm begging to all the team that worked behind this. Anyways i really adore you guys mwahh
WE'RE SO GLAD YOU LIKED THE PROJECT we plan for the full game release to be some time close to mid next year so we hope to see you stick around to see where it goes~
n-n-next year? ☹🥀❤️🩹 Welp i'll sit still and wait around here patiently then
I will be waiting for the full release! Story and the art are incredible🥰
We're so glad you had fun we hope you'll enjoy the full game!
When you say this is for an older audience, do you mean 18+?
Seeing how there's no mention of nsfw stuff in visuals nor writing, they mean it features mature topics ( e.g.war, experimentation on live beings, the portrayal of subjugation of a sentient species, xenophobia, and so on) written with a serious, mature tone.
Ah, I see! Thanks for the answer!
Honestly, WOW!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! That's all I can say because damn from the visuals to the story and especially how we get to choose?? I love everything. This is so interesting and I'm dying to know more!!! I really hope you continue with this because it's a masterpiece!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Our small team deeply appreciates the kind words and we are working hard to make TELLURICENE a memorable experience :'') If you want to keep up with updates we post WIPS on our socials and share behind the scenes commentary on our Patreon.
This is amazing so far! (completely forgot it was a demo, lol) The art and music enhance the storytelling nicely. I also love the atmostphere created. Really looking forward to the full release!
Thank you so much for giving our demo a chance! We're glad to know everything left such a great impression. We'll keep working hard to keep it going for the full release next year!!
The Vivus remind me of the Sylvari from GW2. Sentient plant people.
Ooh the Sylvari is a fun comparison!! What parts reminded you of them most?
This demo is a gem ! Can't wait for the full game ❤️
Thank you so much!! Our team is hustling to tie it all together, we're excited to share it with you as soon as we can.
on my KNEES for the different plant forms; they're all so so pretty. the fact that this game pulled me in so early into demo/development is very much a compliment. looking forward to what's coming next :D!
Haha, we're happy to hear the glomerorum has captured your attention! Trust, there is more leafy-goodness to come >:) If you'd like to keep up with development we post WIPs on our socials, upload BTS content to our Patreon, and opened our newsletter this month.
Is it possible to play the game on MacOs <3
Just to clarify, I tried to download the file however it processed it as a windows file.
Now it is! The team just uploaded a mac version of the game
Thank you <3
It is so awesome and I can't wait for more of it!!!
We appreciate you giving our title a chance!! We promise more is on the way <3
anyone ever ask you what you're playing - and you have to resist telling them you're dating a plant specimen that could destroy all of humanity bc they'll think you're a fkin weirdo so you tell them "research" and now they think you're a fkin nerd. Wht do you in that situation?
I'd say it's a win honestly not everyone can say they're dating a cool plant monster thing so wear the crown proudly and all that
lmao
full game when :(
The release shouldn't be all that far away! No set release date yet but I'd say keep your eyes peeled for updates it shooould be there way sooner than most amares with demos like this I'm pretty sure
Hey there, thanks for checking out our demo. We hope you enjoyed it! TELLURICENE is actively in development so we can't provide a definitive release date. But I *can* share that we're much much farther than where the demo ends!
Our current plan is to drop around mid next-year. If you'd like to see progress updates, we share them on our socials, Patreon, and through our newsletter!
I'm so sorry for humanity but...
Highly intrigued by everything this vn has to offer 👀
Vai ter versão pt br?
Hey there! We don't currently have any plans to translate TELL to Portuguese. But if we receive enough support for our future release, we would gladly consider it!
The vibe is absolutely immaculate-- Creepy but forces you to want to keep playing. I can't wait to see how the game progresses!
Perfect! That's exactly what we're aiming for >:) Thank you so much for checking out the demo!! We're excited to share the full release as soon as we can, and look forward to seeing how you handle what awaits~
I was so intrigued that I forgot it was a demo; I'm so curious where it goes from here!
We are so excited to hear this! We are proud to let you know that theres still 7 full days (and nights) to come 😉! More lore, more spore to come and uncover ~
