A downloadable game

This is Hard Times in Hornstown, possibly the largest fetish-themed text adventure on the internet. It has more than 20 million characters (4.1  million words!) worth of handwritten scenes and code illustrated with more than a thousand high resolution images and a player avatar which dynamically changes according to your choices. And you certainly won't be lonely, not with our 500 NPCs to meet, and greet and do kinky things with.



The game is a sandbox, letting you explore a fictional city full of sexy opportunities. What will you become?

  • A transgender dominatrix?
  • An airheaded sex-craving bimbo?
  • A masculine leather master?
  • A cuckolded wimp with his cock in a cage?
  • A slave to a powerful Master/Mistress?
  • A polyamorous voyeur?
  • A submissive sissy maid?

You can be all of that and more.


Not even the daily grind of making money is boring in Hornstown. Whether you are working at a supermarket, a hotel reception, a construction site or just driving people around, somehow you always seem to end up encountering something kinky. Or, if that's not exciting enough for you, you can just decide to become an exotic dancer, a porn star or a cam whore. Want to take your fate into your own hands? Not a problem, just open your own peep show, detective agency or reinvent yourself and join a sex cult.

You can be male, female, straight, gay, bi, cis, trans or all of the above in a single playthrough. Your body and attitude changes with your decisions letting you be as masculine, feminine, submissive or dominant as you wish while you go through crazy sexcapades, committed relationships, threesomes, orgies and all kinds of kink-centric adventures.

Hornstown is a place that's always changing and growing, receiving 200 000 characters (40 000 words) of content each month without fail. The game is completely free, but patrons gain access to new content a month early, as well as having more options at character generation and being able to access the novels for free!

Also, we have four short erotic novels written to accompany the game, one of which even lets you choose your and your partner's gender! 

You can find Hornstown Tales novel at Amazon, or if you become 'Librarian' or 'Alpha' access supporter, you'll get all released novels!

This has got to be the most limited and bleak game I played of this kind. It promises a lot, but it definetly ends with promises. Locking a female character behid a paywall should be a red flag already, but lets break It down. 

First of all, character customization is none existant. You can choose 2 hairstyles(!) three hair colors (!), gender (if you pay lmao) and some ugly ass faces. That is IT. 

Secondly, there are like 10 outfits available in the shop lmao. All of then premade, so you cant even mix the elements, which is a bad joke.

Also, there are just a handful of skills like sex skill, erotic massage, and dancing. You cant learn much of anything really. There are also no needs to take care of so the game feels boring, empty and unauthentic. 

There is no way to actually roleplay as a character in this due to how uninteractive It is. Which is yet another bad joke, because this is what they advertise. You can basically only choose if a scene will happen or not, and then you have no say about what happens in It. My submissive straight female went for a quickie with a guy, and then out of the blue pinned him against the wall and started forcefully rimming him lmao. You also get no say in how your body looks, can't customize personality, and basically just watch a premade smut at random.

The UI looks like something from 2010. For real. You could make something cleaner with Twine's sugarcube after watching one touturial with no prior experience. 

The art looks ai generated, unrealistic, and generally off-putting.

For something that is in development by multiple people for years, and has a huge financial base, its a living breathing tragedy. If half of the effort they put into advertising their patreon would have gone into the game itself, It might have been worth a look. Right now its just a sad cashcrab. I wouldnt recommend It to anyone. 

Is it possible to change gender/sex later in the game? I don't wanna play as a man and frankly find it kinda shitty to put starting as a woman behind a paywall when starting as a man is free. 

Android?

Just so other people (and the devs) are aware the game file keeps registering as having a trojan / malware.

I just finished the game. It has a lot of content, the game is very good, I highly recommend it. I'm just going to report these bugs that I found, I had to edit the save to be able to do these missions:

I can no longer talk to Claire and Dr. Camila Lawson for the Dirty Secrets Misplaced quest, even after I finished the Clinic Feminization storyline by siding with Benett.

I tried the reset button to restart the Clinic mission in the trainer, but it didn't work.

The button to reset Cedric's story is not clickable in the trainer.

In the trainer you can't reset the Clinically hard to get mission from the main plot either.

When Shelly comes to hug us in the library, there are no clickable buttons on the screen.

The Ash doesn't appear in the EC club.

Even when you go to the gallery exhibition at the end of the mission An Adventure in Fashion, she calls you the next day complaining that you didn't go to the gallery.

When we go surfing at the beach, even if we have high surfing skills we can't do it.

After we complete the Witch III mission, our character's status description continues to say that we are just an apprentice, when it should appear that we are a full-fledged member.

Has anyone found a fix for the missing microsoft visual C++ 2017 32bit?

It works in  9.9 :)

An interesting game with quite a lot content. Sadly something about the engine and keeping state is deeply broken. It's enough to leave the browser open for half an hour and not interact with the game to lose all progress and break most of the available actions. This combined with no way (that I could find) to save/load and not offline linux/Mac-versions means I either play it without break or never get any progress.

(+1)

Strange a lots of fetish content but no Latex Drone content? or HEX Drone?

(+1)(-2)

saving the game sucks a lot and its like so f*ucking retarded like d*mn

So I can't start the game as it requires microsoft visual C++ but the 2017 version. Since I have a much more recent version I can't downgrad and the game just doesn't want to load  up.

Same lol

same here

Try https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist

Literally installed it and the same message keeps popping up. Am I gonna have this problem when I sub?

(+6)

cant you just make the game accessable via itch or steam? it would be much simpler for all of us

The ZIP file is still invalid. Any ETA on a possible fix?

(1 edit) (+1)

One week after publication, the ZIP file is still unusable.

There seems to be issues with the zip download

I was playing the free version in browser and i am not able to run an errand for the synousiae. it just goes to a blank page with no text or links

I'm facing an issue with the basis inc path, i haven't received the new dress to follow the dress code from grace so i can't progress it

Edit: I'm on version 9.1

Can you make a download version of its browser version, which can not only solve the language problem, but also play better

(+2)

The download through itch.io website and the app isn't working.

(+1)

Is it gonna be available to download through the itch app soon?

(+3)

Is this playable using joiplay in mobile?

Hello there. I hope this day finds you well. I truly admire all the hard work you put in this game. and I love it.

but I can't help but notice since I'm using a screen reader to play the game? that I can't save, I'm playing the alpha version by the way.

there's two problems as far as I found out while playing, when I interact with the application with my screen reader? It's called NVDA by the way, it's free if you want to test anything regarding accessibility. so the saving issue, and the fact that when I move through the game? it only reads the links, no other text, no description of anything. I have to use what we call, the NVDA revue cursor, and usually we'd be able to move through with the arrow keys and read everything. doesn't work here.

and thank you so much for taking the time to read this. :)

Hoping for an Android version in the future

The first few times I played this I had access to the Hardrod storyline, but lately no matter what I do, not matter how many playthroughs I start I cannot seem to get that storyline anymore. I tried checking the walkthrough for help but it says only patrons have access to it, which can't be true because I wasn't a patron back when I used to have access

Sorry, but not in the near future, it would require lots of resources for a game that is already accessible by phones if you use a browser.

Most phones nowadays can easily handle your game.

I run a phone with 16 gb + 128 gb with expandable storage. It can run most games if it was allowed.

You need to have 3 oral sex skill and 3 vaginal or anal sex skill. This will be made more clear in the future, sorry :)

is dean storyline continuation are available in online version?? the walkthrough say dean return on day 41 but no matter how much I restarted the game the story never continue

It should be available, this is probably a bug. Will look into it as soon as possible.

Hi do you have a mac version?

(1 edit) (+1)

Hi! We do not have a mac version particularly but the game should run with windows emulator. However you can find an online version on our website https://hornstown.com/

which is best way to play ? play on your website or download zip file please help 

Hej! Well it is really based on your preferences. They're identical however if you happen to have some difficulties (bugs) with either you can always try the other.

Hello! I am having trouble finding the Extreme Circumstances location. Maybe I am missing something?

Hi! Just as agluro tells you! :) Thanks!

Will there be an Android version in the near future ?

Hej Bruno55555

We are
open to the possibility to port HT properly to phones too, but I can't say just yet that we have decided on either making an android verision or not.

Btw, why does my character always have Boobs :(

That's odd. What do you mean exactly? Even if you start a male char?

I just realized that this is because I entered the clinical trial. anyways Nice game :D 

Yeah, that tends to do that. Thanks :DD

There's a tiny problem in the movie stodio. After I do the first movie, the game freezes in a white screen and there's absolutely no way out. Am I doing something wrong or is something with the game?

(+1)

Hey MrDrika,

Does this happen every time when you do the first movie?

(1 edit)

Yep. Every time. I just gave up after the fourth time and preferred to keep the peep show as my main venue.

(+1)

The new update fixed the problem, please give it another try :)

Hi Unlikely, I seem to recall that I used to be able to go through the Himbo route without being a patreon member, but now when I attempt to follow that route it looks like I'm blocked.  Was this an intentional update?


Also, are the new coven scenes in 4.9 and the porn studio movies publicly available yet?  I'm just a bit confused what is and isn't supposed to be behind the patreon tiers.

Hi lolzaror,

Sorry to get back to you so late,
Everytime there is new big content update (every month) the previous update becomes public so everyone can accesss it.

The himbo/bimbo content was temporarily closed in november due to the arrival of the new content but it should be available now for sure.

Are you still closed off from the bimbo content?

ps.: 4.9 will be available as public version once 5.0 is out.

Could you clean all these millions downloads and leave only the last version? Please)

Ask and you shall be granted!

Anyway, that's a fair request. I was wondering why I hadn't thought about this before.

(1 edit)

Another "fair request" - please make the city map scalable properly when the game plays in the internal browser (through itch.io app, etc). Usually it appears at some big size and doesn't fit screen, really hard to navigate. Double click on it makes it even bigger, without possibility to restore the size. Also... how is it going with the Next version? It looked really exiting when you decided to switch to full 3D, but that was a while ago, and I can't find any info about the current progress...

You are able to navigate the map with drag and the map can be zoomed in our out with a scroll wheel. It works for perfectly with touchpad as well, so please try using these options.
As for HornsTown Next, unfortunately  it is no longer in developement and not likely to be released.

"it is no longer in developement" - oh no... but why?

(1 edit)

Project was overambitious.

"Says there's no microtransactions"

"starting as a Female is only for Patrons"


got to hate it when the first line is a lie

Hi TyranntX!

Thank you for pointing it out, it is our mistake that the about section isn't up to date. I'll fix it right away.
However it's true that starting as a female character is locked behind a paywall, you can get transformed anytime after you've started the game.
