Hardcoded is an open-world dating-sim, set in the lawless reaches of a cyberpunk dystopia, in which you take on the role of a thinking/learning droid who has recently escaped her owners and is on the run. While settling into your new life, you're able to befriend a cast of very horny characters who seek your help to investigate the lewd secrets of the Pira City. Establishing yourself in Pira City means becoming part of the gayest private detective gang reasonably imaginable. Delve in to the cities confusingly horny underbelly to distract yourself from the specter of the life you fled. You can spend your down time earning money, decorating your apartment, buying clothes, collecting sci-fi dildos, and of course, bonding (physically or otherwise) with your new friends.
Trans Positivity: Sometimes, there's no more cathartic experience than being around people who understand you. And then giving those people a good dicking down. In many ways Hardcoded is about a trans experience, about the emotion, the alienation, and the hope that come with transition. It's wholesome and positive, but doesn't let those values get in the way of it being vulgar, filthy, porny, smut.
Dress Up: There are hundreds of outfit elements scattered between a handful of vendors, and more than a few hidden in Pira Cities nooks and crannies. Enjoy the newfound trans-girl freedom of getting to look however the fuck you want.
Decorate your Apartment: Like clothing, furniture is also an abundant find for the wandering robot. Hardcoded is about building a new life after escaping something awful. So build! Carve out something cute in your little apartment. Something that feels safe, or comfortable, or however you want it to!
Fuck your Friends: It's a dating sim, but not the kind that wants you to grind up a disposition meter just for a glimpse of tit. Many of the friends you make in Pira City are as excited about you as you are about them. Sex isn't the result of a relationship, but part of the way it blooms. Sometimes, it's even a precursor.
Unlock Duo Paths: As you spend time with more of the characters in the games, sometimes their stories will evolve to incorporate others. Hanging out with different characters will unlock new scenes that explore their individual dynamics. Does this mean wholesome relationship building or filthy threesomes? Why not both?
