so far I have discovered two kinds of feedist text adventure games. There's:

I Got Fat Now What?

A la Fatty Text Adventure, these games are still very much amazing as far as I've seen so far, but they don't end. Rather, they have a point of stagnation where you've gotten as big as the game can handle and... that's that. The sexy description of your character doesn't change, your weight keeps going up, but there's no consequence, you're still mobile at 3000lbs and the quests are all done so you just kinda peter off

then there's:

Almost Got The Witch!!

Such as The Lipomancer's Ruins (and it's sequel) where you almost want to stop getting fat so you can achieve the goal of the game because you've got swept up in the quest mechanics and want to see how the game ends. It's hot, but killing the witch feels more important and I have six different save files trying to balance the horny I came here for with actually beating the game.

I'm wondering, what do you think of the current state of the weightgaming forums? :3

I think the forums are undergoing a bit of an identity crisis. Ostensibly it’s a forum, but site staff also want a connected wiki and a storefront, and a good chunk of users seem to be trying to use it as either an advertising platform or a place to browse for games and not really interact. I also have all the gen-AI stuff muted so there’s a lot of stuff I never see, maybe the site has more game design discussion on those threads. Overall I'd say it's trying to cater to too many types of people all at once and the experience of using the site suffers as a result.

I still check in on the site and look at the new threads but at this point I’ve got other people I can talk in depth about fetish game design and less time in general than I used to, so I’m less inclined to weigh in on game threads specifically unless they’re a genre I’m interested in and have something immediately playable. Admittedly this is a pretty big restriction since it cuts out projects that are mainly vore, stuffing, or inflation, visual novels, anything that requires a subscription, and “what do you think about my multi-page story for a game?” threads, so that’s on me. I still love general game design discussion there though.

Weight Gaming: The Snackrooms...s

There are two games with the title The Snackrooms, one a text based adventure and the other a fully animated game

First we have the text adventure by SkeleSoda

Explore a backrooms-esque scenario, a strange place full of tempting food and those who have been tempted too far. You're joined by cheerful Alex and snarky Taylor. You can either feed up your friends, feed up yourself, or both. I will give a warning, if anyone of you three gets fed to the point of immobility they get left behind and some of the dialogue does get a little more real than I usually like for kink games, just some like "you can't leave me here!" stuff that makes the situation feel pretty real.

Pros: this is a pretty in depth game! I like all the options, I like how much detail gets put into the personality of your companions, and there's some really hot descriptions. Plus, they take into account how your companions change the scenario you're in, if you lose one fatty along the way and then get fed by just one it's a different experience than if you were fed by both. I also really like the text effects.

Cons: it is a lot of reading, if you're like me and cellphones made your unmedicated adhd worse you're going to need to focus or skim. Also, there are some endings that just come out of nowhere super fast, you can be at the smallest weight level and still end the game immediately by choosing to eat certain things, I just feel like more could be done with that

Next up we have The Snackrooms by blobygon!

Explore another backrooms style environment and eat burgers until you reach blob-state, a big win for fans of extreme weight gain which is often my thing and barefoot blondes which isn't really my thing but you do you. Switch between first and third person pov to see yourself growing from different angles and toggle different effects such as burping and sweating.

Pros: well goddamn this is the only 3d weight gain game I've ever seen and it really pays off! Bonus points for the fact that you can pick what kind of blob you want to turn into vis a vis shape and width and whatnot. The sounds are good, the animation is good, and there's a nice bit of mobility play once you get big enough.

Cons: the controls... are... not great. It took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out how to move the girl let alone open up the controls menu. They're finnicky, kinda remind me of the controls for Brutal Legend with how difficult it is to navigate your character around, of course that only really matters for the first section, once you reach blob mode you don't have to worry about moving so much unless you really want to try. It does make it kinda hard to replay when you know you're going to have to struggle through five minutes of walking around grabbing burgers and running into walls just to get to the good stuff, but I've been replaying it anyway so can't complain too much.

That's all I've got for now, I hope these reviews help people really cut through the AI slop into some fun sexy gaming

EDIT: unreality heads up, in blobygon's snackrooms there is a part where you see a shadowy figure peeking around the corner at you, that is part of the game

been looking through the feedist text adventures you posted about a while back and have been loving them ^_^ i was wondering if you had any more recommendations of similar games!

I'm so glad!! Those recs were fun to write, and I had no idea if anyone liked them or not lol

So I think I do have a new rec, possibly two, because I don't know if I've written about The Lipomancer's Ruins before but I do know I've never done a formal rec for the sequel The Lipomancer's Realm

Both are your standard text adventure, and both follow a similar story of "you are an adventurer, there's fattening magic about, enter the dungeon and fight sentient food and try to explore as far as you can before you get too fat to."

I've said before a lot of these games are either "so you got fat, now what?" as in there's no mobility endgame so you just get to be 3000lbs and the descriptors stop updating and nothing changes and now I'm bored or "but I haven't beat the boss yet" as in you start trying to keep yourself from getting too fat because once you do it's endgame and you haven't explored everything and won the game yet. This is definitely the second option. Luckily, in the sequel there's a lot of ways to keep your weight managed so you can keep exploring, as well as lots of ways to gain weight if you rather just have fun with that.

The original is pretty simple, you're just exploring a dungeon, and the sequel is more in depth but it's not finished yet so there's no ending and there are some buggy bits but it's not so unfinished you can't have a lot of fun with it. Personally, I've spent a couple hours playing Realm while tipsy and had a pretty good time. One fun fact about Realm is that you can pick an origin that affects your starting weight as well as how much money you've brought with you and if you have a free place to sleep. I also recommend helping out the inkeeper with her quests and workload, because she'll bring you free food while you're working eventually.
