Does anyone know of a good game that excels at having the NPC react differently to your character as they have gain? Preferably in a more realistic manner (not them throwing themselves at you lol) so there’s negative reactions involved.
Preferably “classic” weight gain games (no furry stuff) but any reccomendation works. Already played Big Aspirations so abstain from suggesting that game.
Tramp is probably the best available here. 2 1/2 love interests, each with their own kind of reaction, and all the incidental characters have something to say. Even your own character has reactions to herself, steerable by the player! Writing is flawless and great, imo. Solid 8 or 9/10 depending on how important visuals and endings are to you.
While not fully focused on weight gain, Project Zomboid has some interesting mechanics where weight affects stamina, strength, and how NPCs treat the player. Not many cutscenes or dialogue changes, but it impacts gameplay heavily.
Er, PZ doesn’t have cutscenes or human NPCs so I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for.
If you’re ok with AI, Unstable Frenemies is pretty much entirely about one NPC in particular reacting to your weight gain (or lack thereof).
A Broad Semester has some differences depending on player weight as well.
Marcel’s Potion Mishap has some different NPC interactions depending on weight.
I swear every now and then a post asking for game recommendations will pop up and I will keep suggesting the same one’s lmao
Play The Lipomancer’s Ruin by Somchu. The game is mostly a RPG but your interactions in the town involving NPCs note on the players weight.
Alternatively, Abducted Plus+ which was also, originally made by Somchu and later picked up and continued by ToshDragon is very much about “studying” the player’s weight gain after being abducted by aliens.
Im sure there is more but none as memorable (for me) as these two I just mentioned
It’s in development at the moment but Grow On Me has some NPC reactions to the player’s weight. Player WG is also completely optional, and I believe there’s plans for weight loss & muscle growth in the future, so you can settle at whatever weight stage you prefer. Player weight will also affect the story eventually, though that’s not in the game currently.
