(non)human desires

nonhumans' (non)human desires is an audacious real-time roguelite that splices survival mechanics with explicit adult content and deliberately provocative philosophical framing. You play as one of two protagonists navigating a procedurally generated Hell populated by 15 creatures with distinct AI behaviors—some social, some pack-hunting, others operating under cellular automata logic. The game positions itself less as straightforward entertainment and more as a vehicle for exploring "speculative pessimism" and non-human ontologies, drawing intellectual inspiration from theorists like D. Trigg and B. Woodard.

Gameplay spans three modes (Roguelike, Waves, Speedrun) and weaves together resource management, building, farming, and relationship systems alongside real-time combat with dismemberment mechanics. You'll scavenge across ten locations, manage hunger and EXP, upgrade equipment, raise a protective pet, and consult a demonic horoscope. The adult content—40 CGs and 20+ animated scenes—focuses on consensual roleplay encounters with ten NPCs, featuring interspecies and group scenarios presented as part of the game's thematic exploration rather than incidental flavor.

Nonhumans has clearly invested significant work into mechanical depth: the inventory system, the social AI behavior trees, and the building mechanics create genuine survival pressure. The art style across screenshots appears deliberately stylized rather than photorealistic. That said, the game's niche positioning—as both a survival sandbox and a philosophical horror statement and explicit erotica—means it demands players comfortable with its stated intent. The mouse/keyboard-only control scheme works fine for the mechanics on offer.
