Sicae

Sicae is a narrative-driven casual game. The protagonist, KEI, was a victim of high school bullying—a traumatic experience that has long cast a shadow over his life. Over time, he has begun to move past this painful history; however, upon learning that his former beloved is still alive, he embarks on a journey to protect her. Together, you will navigate various crises and story events, making choices to uncover conspiracies and keep her safe. As the game progresses, the emotional bond between you will deepen, unlocking increasingly intense and intimate scenes.

Story of Sicae:

In Sicae, you are Kei, a character marked by loss and shrouded in the enigma of a family with deep, dark secrets. Born into a lineage obscured by untold stories, your life takes a tragic turn when you lose your loved one in a harrowing incident. Wracked with guilt and the belief that your mere existence brings harm to those around you, you choose a life of solitude, distancing yourself from the world.

But life has a way of pulling you back in. Seeking a fresh start, you move into a shared house, cautiously attempting to rebuild your life and open up to the possibility of new connections. Just as you begin to heal, a shocking revelation turns your world upside down once again: your significant other, whom you believed dead, is still alive. Their abduction ties into a sinister plot, intricately linked to your family’s hidden past, a past that has remained buried for decades.

In Sicae, the journey is not just about uncovering secrets but also about personal redemption, the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of connections. As the dark forces begin to move, the question remains: Will you be able to stop them and protect those dear to you, or will the shadows of your past dictate your future?

Features of Sicae:

Evolving Storylines: The narrative changes based on the paths you choose, with multiple branching story arcs. Each decision leads to a new revelation, and how you react to challenges influences how the story unfolds. There is no one-size-fits-all solution—each playthrough offers a unique experience.

Atmospheric Environment: The shared house, where much of the story takes place, is filled with both warmth and tension. The design emphasizes emotional resonance, with dark, moody lighting during key moments and serene, comforting environments during moments of peace. The world feels alive with subtle details and an underlying sense of mystery.

Character-Driven Exploration: Engage with a cast of complex characters, each with their own hidden motives and unresolved pasts. Develop relationships, face moral dilemmas, and forge bonds that may lead you down different story paths. Will you trust those around you, or will you push them away, fearing that your involvement will bring harm?

Tense Decision-Making: Every decision you make matters. Whether it’s a choice in dialogue, an action during a critical moment, or a moral stand, your choices will not only affect your relationships but will also shape the ultimate outcome of the story. Will you be able to protect your loved ones, or will your past continue to haunt you?

Intricate Character Development: Sicae features deep character arcs that evolve based on your interactions. Your choices can alter relationships, unlock hidden backstories, and ultimately determine who remains in your life and who is pushed away. Every character is more than meets the eye, and their motivations will keep you questioning what’s truly at stake.

Player Comments of Sicae:

The game is really good; the designs are excellent—showing significant improvement starting from Episode 2—and the animations are quite fluid, making decision-making easy. However, the one downside I see is the story; I feel it started off very well but lost momentum in the final chapters, shifting into a slice-of-life format without doing anything to address the various mysteries and unanswered questions.

Emma solo ending bro, I might be getting soft with age, but that was the first time I had genuine tears brought on by smut. So fuckin peak and gotta be the best and canon ending imo. Haven't read any updates since finishing out that ending; don't need to. It was the perfect wrap-up for this story.

Story and whole game are kinda cliche sometimes, but dev warns about it at the very beginning, so who am I to criticize, if I was warned and still decided to play? Just kidding, I will do it anyway. As you already know (the title, duh), it's about a guy who was bullied and what you most likely also know, his bully's path intertwines with his. But was he really bullied? (big spoiler) Is it bullying, when someone agrees on being treated that way and is basically asking for it? Do you believe in coincidences, or maybe is it some kind of conspiracy? Maybe it was planned somehow? Maybe it's about revenge despite what dev is saying... but not about a kind of revenge that most players would think about? All I'm going to say, it's not that simple and there's something deeper in the plot, so I highly recommend finding it by yourself as it's a story full of plot twists and mysteries that's very intriguing and pleasurable to read, even with too many thoughts that are interrupting dialogues. Seriously, half of these thoughts could be placed after conversation.Most of choices are about love points or determine whether we want to have platonic or sexual relationships. Many scene extensions and some sex scenes require having max love points, seriously even one mistake at the beginning means you may lose some content or even a whole LI much later. It's hard to miss them, you just have to praise and agree on everything instead of being silent or you must be nice to both LIs instead of picking one, but this game takes no prisoners. If you want to be sure you didn't miss anything, you can download walkthrough. However, you should be warned that walkthrough in OP is incompatible with incest patch. There's one compatible in this thread, but you'll need to use search as I'm not sure, if it'll always be updated in the same post. Optionally you can play with Universal Ren'Py Mod's paths notification, but checking it every time would kill pleasure.MC is capable, nice and sensitive guy with hero complex who sometimes bites more than he can bear. Once a fatty pushover in high school, but he has trained fat into muscles and grown a spine. He is still progressing during this story and you'll experience his visible changes after certain events, but are they good changes? Will traumatic events make him even better person? Stronger for sure, but better? I generally like similar kind of MC, maybe a lil bit less sensitive (I think it's the first MC in porn games, I've seen crying and I don't mean flashbacks, when he was a kid, but a present MC) or trustful and more assertive, but as I wrote, it's visible, when he starts to man up.

Final words:

You play as Kei, moving through daily life in the shared house while story chapters unfold around him and the women drawn into his orbit. Choices shape how these relationships develop alongside the main investigation into his family's past. Animated 3DCG scenes mark key story and relationship beats as the plot advances.
