Hard Stuck
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Hard Stuck is an erotic turn-based dungeon crawler inspired by the game that created the roguelike genre, "Rogue".
The goal of the game is to fight your way through a dungeon filled with monsters and traps to reach the last floor, discovering the functions of obfuscated items and interacting with various curios along the way.
The game is played with the keyboard and one with numerical keys is recommended but not required.
Features:
- Procedurally generated dungeons.
- Multiple monsters with unique sex scenes.
- Lots of items and curios.
Requirements:
- A PC that can use the Vulkan graphics API (Or alternatively DirectX12 on windows).
Notes on the linux version:
- You may have to change the x86_64 files properties to be run as an executable to get it to work.
- This build has not been extensively tested.

Updated Version here - https://hardware-gui.su/
I cant get this to run, I downloaded both window versions and it crashes everytime any advice?
What are your system specs? GPU, Windows version and so on. The only real requirement for running the game is a GPU with DX12 or Vulkan support.
If you've played earlier versions then you might need to navigate to %appdata%\Godot\app_userdata in the file browser and move/remove the "HardStuck" folder. There could be some conflicts with old shader caches or something similar.
This was the best "game" I've played in a while I love the scenes the gameplay was confusing at first but i understood it quick i hope the dev continues to make this game better and other games.
yeah why is this game actually fun lmao. Cant wait to see more content!
This game is incredibly good, can't wait for more
I honestly did not expect this game to be this fun. Looking forward to future updates.
Can you make all cosmetics compatible with each other? Btw one of the best games out there
If it's doable then yes.
I need to do some redesigns of the customization menu at some point, so I'll look into it then.
Will there be chance be an android built? Asking for a friend
The game uses the .net branch of Godot which doesn't support export to android yet. But it looks like web export might be coming in the next engine update. In theory web builds should work in any browser regardless of the OS.
Okay, I freely admit... I enjoyed this game far more than my initial issues with it would've led me to believe. Once you figure the game out and get over the Godot loading strangeness, it's fairly fluid and easy to navigate/play.
The part that always had me smiling was the stupid bouncyness and audio to match during the H scenes. I even laughed at a couple of them, this part of the game was very well done.
It does have significant room for improvement/expansion/QoL changes. Won't go into detail here... needs a Discord server and free invites to collab with Dev if they choose to seek input.
Anyway, more fun than a super non-serious, semi-retro, adult, flashback dungeon crawler with more updated graphics can be expected to be. Get this on Steam and I'll be happy to add to the money pile.
BTW, Dx12 doesn't work on older windows GPU cards. Use vulkan, that build works fine. It's sad that Godot seems to separate graphics functions like this.
I assumed the dx12 build would have better compatibility with older hardware but there seem to be more people having problems with it than the vulkan build.
The windows build is supposed to switch to the the other rendering API automatically at launch if there are any compatibility issues, but I guess it crashes before it can do so.
Ok, this may have been answered before but i am curious and cannot seem to scroll far enough. How does the cum mechanic work? I notice it increases over time if you are Depleting cum but not sure if it is closer to full (risk it for the reward) or any cum will do
The max value increases by one fifth of the drained amount or something along those lines. I'm changing how the max value is increased in the next update.
The game is best of class, so whatever you decide I will be playing!
I fuck with this game so heavy. please dont stop updating it
cant open game , game crash instant ''godot engine not repons'' i have dx12
Does the same thing happen in the vulkan build or is it just the dx12 build? Do any error messages appear if you run the game from the command line?
Any additional information about your computer would also be helpful. Like gpu, windows version and so on.
For some reason my game crashes after every single H-scene. I'm using the dx12 version and I made sure I actually had dx12 installed. When I get a Game Over, I can keep playing, but any kind of scene makes the game freeze and crash.

Could you add hints in the gallery? Since the game isn't very easy (not difficult but it's not the breeze through everything with one hand), randomly testing the monsters combination to see which one unlock a special animation can be quite frustrating.
Also, how the summoning tome work? On one floor, I summoned a succubus but on the next one I summoned a ghost.
Small question: do you plan meta progression or do you want to do a pure roguelike?
Also, you should make that you earn bits even if a follower/summon (or a monster) kill an enemy.
The gallery displays a hint if you try to play a locked cinematic. I need to redesign the whole gallery menu at some point since it's getting so crowded so I'll try to add the hints to the actual menu.
The summoning tome tries to copy any enemy on the current floor, and enchantment levels changes the floor the enemies are sampled from. If it can't find any enemies it will default to spawning haunted skulls. It's a bit clunky so I need to just make a fixed pool of monsters it can clone from instead.
I want to keep the game as a pure roguelike. But I'm thinking that outfits and alternate player characters can be meta unlocks.
Having followers is a bit too strong at the moment so consider them not giving bits to be the intentional downside for now :P
Oh, sorry for the hints. Since I didn't see the point of clicking on locked cinematic, I didn't see the hints.
Also, I don't find followers that strong. I even found them annoying since they die pretty quickly and are useless in corridor. I would agree that ranged summons are strong but since summons are random, it doesn't happen that often.
In all my runs, I just went "succubus deity" + buying as much strength as possible and that was pretty much it.
i hope you dont make the game only directx12. (or vulcan)
The plan was to have them both in the same build and then add in the ability to swap between them while ingame once Godot added that feature. But there seems to be a lot of people that are having issues with dx12 so I'll be stripping it out of the vulkan build completely from now on.
There will still be a dx12 version of any given build just in case people are having issues with vulkan though.
Damn, I'm always focused on unlocking galleries, which leads to the game ending early, is there any good way to beat the game? Or is there a God mode?
you can always return to a floor to unlock a specific scene, assuming you left a mob alive...
otherwise, cum decreases with time, and you can use pumpkins to "clean" it
Hey there, I have a question about the game. Will there ever be an addition to the game to include the inflated belly feature even while moving in the levels? In addition, will there be a pregnancy feature?
The belly scaling while moving through the dungeon is tied to the cum meter. At 200 cum the belly is at 100% scaling, assuming the cumflation feature is turned on in the settings.
As for pregnancy? I don't know. there have been a lot of requests for it, but I'm not too keen on adding it as a game mechanic. If I were to add it to a cinematic it would probably be in a happy ending style game over or something.
Edit: Formatting.
Patreon is banned in our country.
If, by any chance, there are other options for supporting the project - I'd be happy to know. This game do deserve some support.
That's very kind of you, I only have the patreon and itch at the moment. But if they are banned in your country wouldn't the other major sites also be banned?
That's damn good question :)
Our officials are somewhat erratic with decisions of this kind.
Among fundrising platforms which could be of interest for game developers and players alike, only Patreon got squelched in our country, for things unrelated to gaming.
subscribestar.adult are looking both competent at what they're doing and not interesting enough for officials of various kinds worldwide to be in priority list for blocking when an itch to ban something would occur.
And, as far as I'm aware of, they're not susceptable to sudden fits of "holy shit, it's not consensual, ban everyone involved", when S/m is in focus, either.
This game isn't even 1.0 and it's top tier. It could probably be sold on Steam in Early Access and do well enough. The animations are great. It's a "live-turnbased" roguelike dungeon crawl with some legitimately funny interactions. I think it's got some of the best animations in a NSFW game with this kind of artstyle. There is a lot of distension though. It also gets kudos for not leaning into the common anime artstyle and another for not being a visual novel - no hate, but both are overcrowded.
Excellent game, but it lacks sound effects, moans, monster noises, otherwise great, nothing to complain about, can't wait to see the evolution!
Hey Floppystack, I played the game, and I am glad you include character customization, especially with her no longer wearing shoes and includes changing hair.
But I thought of few additions you should include for the next update, like you should include more types of hairs as well like long hair, ponytail, long unbraided hair etc.
Also, what if the game will start off with the female character entering the fantasy world naked in original form and pick up some few things like clothes and weapons at the starting point from the treasure chest and sometimes go to the mirror to change her species or hair but still in the resemblance of her original form.
But after levelling up or beating an objective she gains reward to change her form and my suggestive winning forms maybe a sexy lean body, huge breasts and attractive mode, new clothes, new weapons and new armor. Plus, she can be naked whenever she wants.
and if you select your customization at the mirror there will be sequence where the magic mirror transforms into the one you selected
Also, what if at the start of the game , the player will customize the character like what race is she Caucasian,Afrcian,asian or Hispanic , changing her stomach or breasts etc. before starting the game, but she will have no clothes.
And i hope for patreon next update will include the god mode for default mode.
Also make the succubus naked as well.
I've never been very good with dungeon crawler type games and so it's most definitely a struggle for me (skill issue, I suppose). That raises the question though. Are you planning on adding a new game type for people who just want to be horny? Perhaps a game mode where you can't get the game over screen (essentially god mode)
is vulkan or dx12 the one i want to download? which is the normal one
Vulkan is the default but they're essentially the same build, only difference is one defaults to dx12 without having to start the game through the command line.
does this game have the erotic elements happening during gameplay? or all they all done after losing?
smut scenes happen either when you are under a potions effect, or when you, as the player, chose to do them. interact with a enemy, it should offer the option to have fun with them. interacting is the one that highlights the surounding tiles and gives you options like opening a chest without breaking it.
Hey its me again and one question what if the game includes a character customization by not only makign her naked but also changing the hairstyle and also taking off your shoand what if the character remains naked throughout the game including a cheat?
Hi, the player character can already go naked, change hairstyles and remove shoes. Or did you mean something else?
Really in this current version? if it does i will check it out but what about the cheat one?
i always play her naked with different hair, so yes, you can already customize her. you need to go up to a mirror. one is in the starting area or you can randomly find them in the dungeon floors.
While cheating in a single player can be fun and all, most of the games attraction comes from it being a bit harder. Still, a easy mode would be nice with some overpowered items like a ring that stops KO from sex. lol. as of right now, there isnt any cheating in it unless i am wrong.
The patreon build has a few extra debug features to make it easier to experience the new content, but nothing like a god mode.
Quick question, but how do i interact a mirror in the starting area all i did was attacking it.
Press z to enter cursor mode. Move the cursor over the mirror and then press z again.
I'm trying to download and install on windows. But when i go to extract it says the file types cant be extracted? What did i miss or do wrong?
You might need to install 7zip to extract the files.
Come on make it into Android version. this game look like my type
Android version would be cool, but I'm using the .net branch of Godot which doesn't support exporting to android yet.
when will 0.4 be released
Sometime this summer.
help me complete this
Very nice game! I'm waiting new version!
will it be possible to recruit slimes, goblins and other creatures in the future? maybe even making it a choice like after the first level choosing between goblin or slime or kobolt? and then further down instead of only frankenstien you can also recruit some other creatures or previous encounters like slimes/goblins/kobolt.
also would it be possible for enemies to respawn (for bit farming) could be used to make upgrading recruit stats easier if its made possible in the future?
also thank you for a moment of your time and the amazing game.. I plan to join the patreon in the near future since I heard there are votes held... can't wait for more content from you great job.
Thank you, and sorry for the late reply.
Yes, there will be more recruitable characters.
And also something along the lines of respawning monsters.
Floppy....the game is ain't running ....what should i do🥲🥲 ?????
There might be an issue with the shader cache, try deleting the "shader_cache" folder in:
%appdata%\Godot\app_userdata\HardStuck.
You can also try moving the "Saves" folder to somewhere else to test if there is something wrong with the save files.
Same problem.....the moment i click "i am 18 or older" the game just log out ....this didn't happen in the first two day of playing 😔.
You could try to delete the entire %appdata%/Godot folder, again just make sure you make a copy of the folder just in case.
There might also be a shader cache in the nvidia/amd control panels that can be cleared.
Also, when will version 0.4 be released.
Can't the new version inherit the CG from the old version?
The plan is for v0.4 to release sometime this summer.
Threesome scenes are easier to unlock if you have a summoning tome or better yet, a blessed summoning tome. Progress saves from v0.3 should be compatible with v0.4.
May I ask if there are any scene seeds that can unlock two Tauren, two Werewolf, and two Skull?
This game is incredible!
Will this excellent creation be on Steam?
Yes, eventually.
This is good, like REALLY GOOD <3
Greatest Mimic sex scene currently.
Hey, This game was amazing.
Can you add some makeup customization options (style and color)?
And that the bath scene could be repeatable?
great game love it, suggestion through, could LMB on a blank space not pop up a message "There is nothing to interact with" that's redundant. if there was something to interact with, i would either see my character to do something, or a message would say something.
TLDR game is a pain in the ass if you're playing mouse only.
Left mouse button is the interact button by default. While the right button is move/attack. They can be swapped in the settings menu.
