Pheromone Strain v0.6

Pheromone Strain presents a high-concept premise with real stakes: you're trapped in a buried mountain laboratory with seven days to dig out before an experimental virus fundamentally rewires your cognition and body. Starfish Galaxy's setup trades on the tension between survival mechanics and inevitable physical change, making each decision feel weighted by the knowledge that time itself is working against you.

Gameplay revolves around resource management and point-and-click interaction across your seven-day countdown. You'll allocate effort toward excavation, manage the mounting mental fog as the virus progresses, and navigate encounters that shape both your escape odds and your physical trajectory. The transformation system isn't merely cosmetic—it actively affects your available choices and the story branches available to you, creating genuine mechanical consequences for how you respond to the infection. Starfish Galaxy has structured the game so that "succumbing" and "resisting" aren't simply narrative flavors; they're mechanically distinct paths with different skill checks and event chains.

The adult content centers on transformation and body horror framed through erotic lens rather than grotesque. Intimate scenes exist but serve the power-dynamic and vulnerability themes baked into the premise. Expect suggestive scenarios tied to loss of agency and pleasure, rendered in prose rather than explicit depiction. The game is currently in active development (v0.6), with confirmed pending features including multiple endings (escape uncorrupted, escape transformed, failure-to-escape, and a secret ending), tutorial, audio, and illustrations for new events. Load times are negligible on HTML5, though the unfinished state means some event chains don't yet trigger consequences and visual assets remain partial.
