About
You play a lab-grown parasite that breaks out of a research facility with nothing but a drive to spread and survive. The tone is clinical and a little cold, more about strategy than romance.
Once loose, the goal is to infest hosts and quietly build up a nest without drawing the attention of the people or systems that would want it destroyed. Growth comes from harvesting biomass, and the game keeps insisting that human sexual activity is the richest source of it, so most of your progress runs through watching, nudging, and eventually controlling the people you've taken over.
The loop is about observation and manipulation rather than direct action: you study targets, steer their behavior, and use the resulting encounters to fuel your own power creep and expand your foothold. Futa and sissification content is flagged as avoidable if that's not what you're after.
Changelog
2.2 Brings a lot of content for the symbiotic route + a new ending to find by following the lab trail, tons of new scenes along with polishing and rewriting of the old ones for a better experience
- New content
- New Chapter 2 ending for the symbiotic route
- New first day event, deferred suspicion events to trigger in a later day, first lab event now always triggers on day 3
- Emotional manipulation changes, new NSFW scenes triggered by route-shifting emotional manipulation checks + new scenes based on conditioning and route
- Toxic spore changes, now using spores during the sleep triggers new scenes (Karen, Ryan, Megan, Jess)
- New observe the house events
- Made the dream phase more user friendly for who wants to navigate it in the lab-vessel route
- Changed observe the family to flash when new scenes are available
- New Ashley and Bryce scenes unlockable from the observe the family
- New events when kinks are unlocked, now each kink gets at least a unique scene available from observe the family given enough psionic conditioning

- Bugfixing

- Rewriting
- did more rewriting of the old AI writing in the symbiotic route, some passages still remain
- Rewrote the prologue removing AI generated text
- This update adds new scenes to the Lab Vessel route, a big wave of Hoffman household content, the first tease of a route still to come, a full journal overhaul, and modding support.
- New Bowen Scenes — Lab Vessel Route
- Lots of new Tom Bowen scenes after his shatter, now he will actually reflect if you did shatter him in a way or another, bring him clubbing, talk to him at the lab or go out on the evening with him to test it out! Check also what happens in the morning if he ends up sleeping in your bed
- New Hoffman Family Content - Symbiotic route
- A large batch of new material across the whole household — multiple new events and explicit scenes spanning Karen, Dale, the twins, and Jess, plus new route beats and an expanded symbiotic-route finale. That's thousands of words of new prose and a stack of new images and videos to find. Also, check out the expanded ending!
- Journal Rework
- The Hoffman family journal is now a proper scene collector. Every scene you reach becomes a card, route-locked content you can't reach on this playthrough can be unlocked with skill points, and each entry has its own recap with all of its art. *(Still a work in progress — expect a few rough edges, flagged in-game.)*
- Mod Support
- Project Hivemind now ships with a modding runtime: custom events and content can be loaded as mods, with a companion **Mod Studio** for building and test-driving your own. Jump on discord if you need any help with modding or simply if you want to try it out!
- Bugfixing Hopefully all the reported bugs are fixed, also new bugs joined in the party (probably)
- Rewriting:
- Dropped a lot of the AI generated text that was lingering over in the symbiotic route and rewrote it, around 80% of the passages that used AI written text were rewritten
- Lab Vessel Route V 2.0
- New content
- Literally a whole new chapter is out with 60+ new scenes
- A whole new branch! New chapter 2 branch, find a way to infest Dr. Elena Chen in the lab and see the world from her eyes
- New Vessel skill tree mechanic, now the skill tree is different if on symbiotic route or in lab vessel route, you will find only 2 skill trees until a route gets set
- New hooks for chapter 3, and a little expansion for the initial scenes adding up some more passages for future chapter hooks
- Rewrote a lot of passages, should be smoother to read now
- Symbiotic Route V 1.5
- New content
- New Megan Slut + Jess Punk routes with full progression chains, dream walks, kink crystallisation, and NSFW scenes
