NonPlatonic Forms Early Access
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Ah yes. A strange man comes out of nowhere and tells you he will die if he can't have complete control over you, this very instant.
Only a fool would agree to that.

NonPlatonic Forms is a Horror Romance Visual Novel about the terribly stubborn Liam Lee, a man who finds himself locked into a desperate game with a dying god. As the embodiment of storytelling, the god would prefer his audience be willing, but his hunger for praise has driven him to the brink. Will the dread deity scoop out Lee's free will, and make the human into a sycophantic member of his eternal audience? Will Lee emerge victorious and slay the god? Or will they, you know...
...kiss?


Our protagonist. Lee lives a solitary life as a freelance mechanic for movie theaters. He collects weird media and has a history of hookups with strange men.
His dating pool is about to get a whole lot stranger.

Storytelling incarnate, or so he would tell you. This untrustworthy Platonic Ideal loves only one thing more than the sound of his own voice: Praise. If he gets his way, Lee will end up kneeling at Diegesis' feet, forever.

Lee's college Ex, who has contacted him out of nowhere. They used to be close, and Billy makes it easy to fall back into old routines. Is Billy a jerk with a heart of gold, or just a jerk in general?

A mysterious gentleman who shows up in the wrong place at the wrong time. A friend will warn the player not to pursue this route, but since when has Lee ever listened to reason?


The current early access build (ver 0.44) has:
- Over 200,000 words,
- A flowchart to keep track of progress and find new content easily,
- Three love(?) interests in progress across branching routes,
- Eight endings (so far),
- Scenes containing psychological and body horror,
- Erotic encounters,
- The ability to switch explicit content off to make it safer for streaming,
- A Character and Terminology Glossary,
- A Background Gallery for viewing dozens of CGs and art,
- A Music Room for listening to the soundtrack,
- Achievements,
- Regular typo and bug checks by a discord of really wonderful fans!
Drop a $5 tip to get an early access build, or back me on patreon to help fund development of the game and test fresh builds before anyone else!

I've got a lot more of the game left to show, and I'm already writing more! The rough script of the game is over 200,000 words, and I'm planning for the final version to have:
- Finalized art,
- Even more plot-relevant erotic encounters,
- Unlockable bonus scenes,
- Bonus comics (over 50 of which you can read right now in the Devlog!)
- and just maybe, a happy True End.


This is an 18+ game, and not intended to be a portrayal of SSC/RACK sex. If you're ever going to restrain a partner or assume sexual control, use a safe word and restraints that allow for proper circulation. Please consume your erotica responsibly, you kinky marvels.

So funny
Hi sorry wanted to ask, if I pay 5 bucks on itch.io will I also get the full game/final build?
Or will I have to pay again for the full game based on the release price? TYIA.
(Just got scammed by the developer of T*****d L**e so now I'm wary about supporting EA games -_-)
Sorry to hear that! I will continue to update this page, so paying for early access now will get you the final version once it's released.
Also, may I ask you to please remove the link and the reference to the other developer from this comment? I respect that you're upset, but this comment section isn't the place for that. Thank you so much for understanding, and thank you for your interest in NPF! ^u^
I really enjoyed this game, but sadly I'm having some trouble playing the new version. I have a mac and I downloaded the game and was able to go to security and privacy settings and tell my computer to open it even though its from an unidentified developer. However, the application still won't open after that. Is anyone else having this problem? I am a bit confused because it worked fine when I downloaded an earlier version about a year ago.
Hmmm, that's very odd! A cursory search shows that it doesn't appear to be an issue with new versions of ren'py, so I'll check with the other players in my playtester discord to see if they've run into the same issue.
Sorry to ask something basic, but have you done the usual: redownload, restart the computer and try opening again? Either way, thank you for reporting that you were having this problem!
I tried those, sadly it still didn't work :( I think the browser demo is working fine at least!
Hm, that’s interesting. Makes it more likely that it’s an issue with the Mac portion of the market build.
What version of Mac OS are you running?
im running monterey 12.2
Yeah, that's above the minimum requirements, so it shouldn't be an issue. I saw that you just joined the playtester discord; thank you for that! I'll dive in and keep working on the problem over there.
Are you worried that itch.io will remove this game? They're currently taking down any games with NSFW content that receive payments.
I'm trying not to be, but I am doing my best to prepare for it as a possibility. Please consider staying in contact, either throughfollowing my patreon or my mailing list. If this page goes down, then I'll still be able to get in contact and make sure that people get to play the finished game!
Hi, is the demo playable now? I bought it and started the game, but after the prologue, it ended and returned back to the menu. Is there still something needed to unlock or is it just like this, only the prologue is provided?
Thanks for picking up the game, and thanks for reporting the issue! Which version are you playing: Mac, PC or Linux?
It's Demo0.41-PC
My apologies, looks like there was an issue with the file. I've got it fixed and you should be able to download the full ver 0.41 now.
Thanks! Have a good day.
Hey! I'm putting together a co-op bundle for mlm themed projects and would love to extend and invite to you! The sale will being at the beginning of August ^u^
The form for that is here: https://forms.gle/imReKzqiDo9qrtqg7
Thanks and you'll consider joining us :D
Hey thank you! I would absolutely love to join; your curation work is tireless and top-notch, so the invite is very kind! NonPlatonic Forms is still not finished yet, but so long as that's okay with you, this would be an incredibly helpful signal boost.
Oooh, I missed how this was a demo! There's still a TON of content in it, so please submit your game anyways and maybe one of your finished games as well, to balance it out? 🤔
You got it!
I came from a fic on AO3 called Whatever the opposite of a speedrun is, and oh my gawd :0 from what I can see this looks amazing!!
Thank you! If you liked that fic, then this game will be right up your alley. The idea outgrew its box and needed a bigger terrarium.
One with sunlight and real fresh air, so to speak. XD
idk why but this games gives me skullgirls artstyle vibes with the background scenarios lmao, (btw the art its so gorgeous)
Skullgirls has such a rad art style, that's a huge compliment! ^u^
i cannot stress enough how much this is one of my favorite stories of all time. fantastic stuff.
Thank you. I've been enjoying working on it, and having you around to see it has helped encourage me. :D
Absolutely obsessed with this game. Amazing writing, art, and horror! I love Lee and Diegesis' dynamic so much.
Hey thank you so much! These two are a lot of fun to write for, and I’m editing the next update right now, so I hope you look forward to it in the next week!
Nice demo! Love this vibe and the art!
Thank you very much! 😁
ok am i hallucinating or was that drawing of diegesis holding lee not there before
Don't worry, you're not hallucinating! Since the game is being made right now, I have new screenshots to show off every month or so.
anyway they are so gay
Super gay. ^u^
It will have guide?
I'm currently making a route map for my patrons! It's actually kind of a challenge to figure out how to map this, since the route structure is slightly irregular. XD
Thank you for your interest!
I got effing chills man, I love your original storytelling. Thank you so freaking much for this jewel!
Edit: ah I forgot to specify I was only speaking about the demo, but I'll very clearly obviously buy the full experience. Plus I need another taste of Talaiporia top waifu in my life.
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo! I wanted it to feel intriguing very quickly. And there's a whole scene with Talaiporia in the early access build, so consider the first course of monster waifu already delivered, with more on the way~ ^u^
I felt chills again when she /introduced/ herself to Lee.
It was spectacular. What the tally marks meant. It was horrifying. I loved it.
Thanks again man, can't wait 'til it's finished :D
howdy! loving the game so far :D
unfortunately, I think there's a sprite for Mimesis missing from the v.19 download? I tried to play past where the two v.18 branches ended, and this is what I got:
Thank you for reporting! I checked my own files and tried to replicate the bug by redownloading and playing through, but did not see the glitch. Sorry to give basic advice, but have you tried restarting the game, or redownloading?
I think it's working this time - I had to overwrite the old 'renpy' folder, that was probably the main issue. for some reason it didn't load in fully the first time I downloaded it. thank you for getting back to me so fast!
Today’s a nice slow day for me, so I was able to check it out quickly. Thanks for popping it back in for another go, and I hope you have fun with the update. Lemme know what you think when you’re done! ^-^
exciting!
Thank you!
