Others - Trials in Tainted Space [v0.9.097] [Fenoxo]

Love all the games from Fen. If you like....well anything under the sun then there is something here for you. Even if you are some kind of purist you can try to run that route and avoid all the yiff, futa and what not. Seriously something for everyone. Also if you're not into furry trust me you will be soon.

So when sifting through the sands of smut, hopefully a shiny seashell appears. Also when trying to discern said seashell, I try to be as honest as a person can when looking at seashells.

What seashell do we have today?

A strange one. For a preface, I'm straight, and the bias lies there throughout this review. For pure straight people (on the male side), it's quite hard to find content catered to that in the game. As if you play a pure straight male route, you'll be locking yourself from the content present in majority of the game, from what I've encountered. More on that later.

So, you play as the heir/ess to Steele Corporation but your dad decided that to inherit the fortune of the company, you'll have to adventure out and find the probes he left behind through a slew of planets he screwed his way through. Through that and walls of well written smutty text (as the game is primarily text-based), you'll find that the majority of characters that lie within a plethora of sexualities and genders will want to willingly bang you through well written paragraphs.

A lot of kinks are covered tastefully in this game, ranging from S/M, BDSM, Exhibitionism and the sort, to just simple sex (which sometimes feels weak in comparison to what you find in the game--nothing too extreme though ie, no scat, watersports, etc). All the scenes of course stem from uniquely written characters that have their own interests that they want to (bang) into you, whether you want to be submissive you can source said scenes from certain characters you meet in unique , often repeatable encounters; or playing as a dom character you can also find other characters to do your thang. And it isn't just the whole dom/sub thang despite it being heavily present in the game, some characters are just lustful, or kinky, or want a nice simple bang-layden relationship. And a lot of the enemy NPC's also have their own unique, repeatable encounters.

Gameplay consists of exploring planets, trying to find the probes, of course meeting characters, and occasionally fighting. Fighting is done a lot like RPG's where you wander away from the 'safe' areas and into the wilds much like JRPG's of old (think pokemon). For a text game, the battles aren't bad, and are really well done, you lose, the enemy has its way with you, you win, you can either leave it be, or have your way with it. And for the majority of enemies, for lose/win scenes, a lot of the H-market when it comes to this type of thing portrays it as either rape, or rape leading up to the heroine liking it (which is a hit or miss on my part) but here everyone is apparently horny as all hell and wanting it so there's very little of that portrayal for both your protag and the enemies. You, also in typical rpg fashion, buy new gear, new tastefully written weapons, or dive into the transformation market and deck your character out as a space furry to the tastes of the majority of alien species you encounter (or just stay as whatever species you may be).

Now, for hetero guys. Its hard, no pun intended. Like, every female you'll meet will have a 75% chance of having a dong. A large dong, like, elephant sizes. If that isn't the case, then the small percent of ladies you meet will also have tit/ass porporations that'll make a hentai artist hate himself for not making them that gigantic. For me, what I usually do is roll as the biggest slut in the galaxy playing as a female character since you can just about bang anything, but rolling as a guy in this game going hetero is hard since the majority of characters you'll meet are already so androgynous that it isn't weird meeting someone with two dongs in the game, or you losing to enemies with dongs and being banged. Hell some people on the forum make it a game to have multiples of everything (like 2-3 monster dong characters with the vag-tail). Also, as previously mentioned, just about every girl you encounter, whether enemy or unique NPC, is a dick-girl. If it's your thang, then have a blast, but for those that aren't in the market for such smut then the game is a slog if you don't play as a female or are just turned off by the whole notion.

Whatever the case may be, it's worth a go-over, as if you can't get into the content (which is understandable--it's smut that goes pretty far out there) then you can just ignore the small download you just blooped through, but if it sucks you in, lawd help you you're going to be busy for a hot minute.

Overall, bias included 4/5, wish there was more content in being Captain Kirk and banging any hot alien girl you encounter, but in the future all you encounter is dong. I've supported the game since the premier, and it's just steered farther away from what my tastes are, despite me booting it up once every couple of months. And some content areas will be written, then forgotten as progress strays farther away, such as some characters never fully being developed and being left in the mud for sometimes years, with speculation happening where people wonder if said cool thing that the character was going to be will ever be implemented. Sometimes also, you wonder where the development is going, as it ranges from fleshing out a planet, then going onto the next one, while the weeds of the previous one just stay as they are. Though they have been going back recently and updating older characters, such as Penny that you meet on the first planet. But when you hit 100K through a kickstart, and have 35k through patreon (last time I checked), I guess you can take any pace you want so long as you show something is happening. And of course, there's a lot of furriness in the game, which they poke at with certain characters but it's heavily present for those that don't like alien furries.

And as a sidenote, I don't have anything against the plethora of sexualities and genders being presented in the game, as everyone is built the way they are (or modified as shown in this game), but I just say the forewarning to peeps that want or search for primarily straight content in this game.

Definitely helpful. I don't have ANY extra money and my parents are Christian, so I can't support fenoxo's Patreon until I move out. This thread has helped me with new backer builds of trials in tainted space a lot.

The time and love put into T.I.T.S. is amazing. played through countless times and i still find interesting things in space. Heavy on the reading, so if your not into that, your loss.

oh, also it needs more Shiny Rocks.

If you are a perverted deviant furry. this game is for you and it's a little gems that you should try even if you aren't. let me explain why.

When I mean a little gems I am not exagerating it is really well made. A lot of fetishes are well written and the characters feel very alive (something rare in a text game) sometimes random event can apear but depending of HOW you threaten theses characters in the past.

What I love the most in this game is the "crew" system wich is in fact a dating sim inside the game.

that goes without saying that I reccomand this game for everyone, I think it's a timeless masterpiece and i am not proud of that but I have over 100 hours on this.

And to conclude I am not sure if i am allowed to say that but you shouldn't download your game on this site but rather on the develloper website : https://www.fenoxo.com/category/trials-in-tainted-space/?age-verified=d79d8a0061

i really really like this game, its soo much things to do, it got story, it got fantasy its amazing, best of all u can change into something that u might like, and some fetish stuff, and uhh i guess thats all

Create a male of female character fun, run around a galaxy of new aliens and furry creatures that want nothing more than to fuck or be fucked by you... Count Me In!!!

The game is mainly text based but does have some images to go with the encounters and wow, what a range of encounters that are prescient in the game. There are hundreds of encounters with each encounter having interesting options most of which end in you either filling yourself or your partner.

The only thing I have against this game is that each encounter is in many ways a mini story. With a LOT of lines to read. Its not really a fault with the game so much as what I expected from it, but I often find myself skiping over chuncks of text, skim reading it to get to the next encounter.

Quick review:

Thanks to Corruption of Champions, Fenoxo is automatically on my radar. TITS puts me in the driver's seat as a gropey male space playboy and I like that. The game is pretty smooth, the character portraits are attractive, and there's tons of content. The writing is alright. I like the setup for the story, and some of the writing takes a nice break from sexy to be downright funny, like the Steph Irson episodes on TV. TITS lets me beat shit up, fuck it, and then get back on the S.S. get-yo-dick-sucked and jet. I love it.

Fenoxo does have a reputation for pushing fetishes and immaturity and I think that's worth mentioning. This isn't very bad at the beginning of the game, but gets worse as time goes on. There's an increasing number of characters that are THICC as time goes on. There's an increasing number of cuntboys/sissies as time goes on. There's some player-focused bimboification. There's a lot of futa/dickgirl content as the story advances, and they often want to ream you. The blackmail/victory rape stuff basically peters out, too. The game has boatloads of content, but as straight PC it's a little unfortunate how content flags so hard because of this later in the game. I wish Fenoxo would put some of the transformation themes to work and write more alternate scenes to accommodate str8 bois. But considering how good the other content is, it's definitely not a dealbreaker for me.

People have different tastes. Not everyone likes something that someone else likes. Some people like things more than others. That is no issue.

This game caters to a wide variety of fetishes... However, only in the beginning. When I first started playing this game, I saw a lot of things I liked, and I ignored the things I didn't like. This didn't last for long, though. After you get a couple hours into the game, and you beat the first four or so zones, it becomes apparent that the game begins to focus on one fetish specifically. That being futa.

Futa simply happens to be one of the fetishes that I dislike, and there's nothing wrong with that. After a certain time though, that is all the game really has to offer, therefore I stopped playing, and wasn't able to experience the rest of the game's content. I actually stopped playing several months ago, and ever since then have only followed the updates of the game, which I now no longer do, as it is apparent the vast majority of recently added content is primarily futa focused.

People like different things, so if you like futa, you'll probably enjoy it far more than I did, but I'm scoring it based on how much I enjoyed it in comparison to what content the game actually offers as a whole.

I liked what I played, but it was painful trying to avoid the things I didn't like, and could no longer play after the amount of things I didn't like overshadowed what I did like.

Great writing, an interesting setting, and a passable, if shallow, combat system. Lots of fetish and kink material. I'm not especially into furry stuff, but it's pretty unobtrusive if you ignore certain busts. Oh, the busts are often pretty hot and help with immersion too. It's served me well as fap material many times. I should probably donate.

Huge amount of detail
Huge amount of information
Huge amount of community cooperation
Most questions are answered in a very helpful way
Everyone who cares about this thread comes needing and leave totally satisfied and happy.

As for a review for the game itself, I feel like this is the best video game I have played in years. It combines the best things about old games with the best things about new games. Usually I don't have too much patience for text based games, but the text based games that are done correctly make me feel like I'm not even reading anything, but rather watching a movie inside my mind. I'm there, immersed in the fun.

TITS feels retro, but also new. It's clean and sharp and to the point and has very fun story telling and action and adventure themes not to mention the loads of adult content that every single other video game in the world is lacking in.

I am shocked and confused that there are not more games that feel like TITS or COC out there, as they are a rarity. You would think it would be much much more common to be completely honest, considering how simple it is and how easy it is to make compared to modern high graphics games. This game is just fun and with very few drawbacks.

TITS is an extremely fun game and the level of customization is wonderful but only if you have a save editor and know how to use it, otherwise the game is extremely unforgiving with it's wonderful levels of customization and you're forced to use the in game TF items to basically take one step forward and three million steps backwards because in the game you are simply not allowed to actually create the type of character you desire to the degree of perfection you strive for. One item will give you what you want, but it will ruin four other things about your character.

With save editing you can actually customize your character until you have exactly the fun type of character you want to play with and then avoid using TF items any more throughout the game (because it's just not worth it if you want to keep your character the same) Because of the freedom to be who you want to be in the game and do whatever or whoever you want in most cases, + the wonderful scifi atmosphere and surprisingly snappy and special type of comedy I have never seen outside this game, I have to say that this is probably my favorite game ever.

Some Cons: I love futanari but fenoxo overdoes this part of the game. seriously needs some variety to make it feel more alive and immersive.

As for the common users ability to help contribute to the game on its official forums (not on F95)
If you try to share your ideas in the fenoxo forum's specific sub-forum for "Trials in Tainted Space Ideas" the "Ideas" forum, everyone who's been there for a couple of years just enter the thread and scream at you like baboons until you get banned.

It's pretty funny but it's also pretty sad. This takes 99% of all possible good ideas that could have made it into the game and made it better in the long run and just tosses them into the trash, even if they could have added to the game play or made the game millions of times better.

For this reason I feel like the game will never live up to its true potential. I do admit with all fairness and honesty that the game is my favorite game ever and beats most other games I have ever played by far.

I enjoy it better than any AAA mainstream console game and most PC games. This game is proof that you don't need HD 1080p graphics or millions of dollars and an evil publishing company to make a good and fun game.

Pros: Interesting game. The story and writing are top notch. There is a lot of content and hours of game play.

Cons: This is a text game, and while I don't really have an issue with that I assume a lot of people do.

I consider this one of the best games on this site. While there is a lot of reading, it's enjoyable and again, the writing is very well done.

An impressive Dungeon&Dragon in space with a background as impressive as mass effect. You have at least 20-30 hours of gameplay and it's just for the main missions, moreover the stories and backgrounds of the differents characters is really interesting and you will definitively be hooked by the universe. Finally there is daily an update with new features and characters so you won't ge bored with it .

is a great game especially if you are into scifi and transformations, they are always working hard on it and it will be everything CoC was and more. There are tons of interesting characters to meet,good writing,interesting places. You can easily get lost in this world for hours and it not even completed.

Trials in Tainted Space (TiTS) has proved itself to be a very divisive game as far as the indie porn game community is concerned. Whereas its predecessor, Corruption of Champions (CoC) had something to cater to almost any possible player, expanding as its development furthered, TiTS has if anything become more specialized over the course of its development.

If your one and only sexual interest is text-based furry futanari sex, perhaps with a hint of BDSM or the occasional man-on-man scene, TiTS is far and away your game. Almost every new update adds at least one new scene if not a wholly new futanari furry character to bang, with an occasional tweak to an RPG mechanic or minor addition to the main story. But if you're looking for literally any other fetish (incredibly sparsely represented fetishes include: vanilla heterosexual sex between a fully male partner and fully female partner, incest, and sex acts involving an NPC's penis that is smaller than eight inches long), you are basically out of luck.

Don't be fooled by promises of a paid writing staff and a dedicated community. The community's main goal at this point seems to be writing ever more specific furry futa 'waifus' for the various community members, and the writing staff largely does the same. It must be said that occasionally some of the writers, most commonly Savin, really do add to the diversity of fetishes represented with a high quality addition. But most updates? They add insert-random-Earth-or-sci-fi-species futa furry character or a new scene with a currently existing furry futa character about 95% of the time.

In other words: this is your holy grail if you love furry futas. If you're like me, however, try it maybe once a year and see whether or not you can fuck the main character's cousin yet in a scene with full sexual description that doesn't end the game. I'd wager the answer will remain 'no' until at least 2019.

To be honest, if this game truly billed itself as catering exclusively to a furry futa fetishist community I'd probably be giving it a four or five and simply lamenting that it isn't for me. As a game promising a wide range of content for all comers, however, I rate it according to how much I personally enjoy it.

Three stars.

Decent RPG mechanics, but difficult masturbation material for all but very specific fetishists.

One of the best ones out here. You can surely find/develop huge amount of fetishes.
Well written, gameplay is great, story is neat. Combat is sometimes wonky.
Be warned though, everything in this game is way beyond extreme.
And final warning,-> after you play this, nothing else is gonna be even 50% good as this.
