Trials in Tainted Space is an Erotic Text Adventure Game by Fenoxo.com

Fenoxo.com is the blog site for the erotic artist known as “Fenoxo” or “Fenoxo Fenfen”. This site is home to blog posts, NSFW forums, erotic fiction stories, and flash games. There isn’t a lot of information out there about the real person behind the site, but Fenoxo got his start developing flash games sometime in the mid-2000s. Most of his early titles didn’t get too much traction, but that all changed with the launch of a text-based fetish adventure game called Corruption of Champions. This game rocketed Fenoxo into popularity. He and his team have been quite successful with drumming up funds for new projects, with over 32 thousand dollars donated to his Patreon every month. Now, CoC may have started the upswing to success, but his future projects cemented it. Particularly the title that PornDuke will be covering in this review. With the newfound funds, Fenoxo invested it into a science fiction flash game called Trials in Tainted Space (or TiTS for short). This game took the concept of CoC and took it to the next level by including a more comprehensive theme, erotic artwork, and many more game features that CoC did not have. It launched in 2014 with a great deal of success and continues to be one of the driving games for the site, with new updates and features being added even now.

TiTS is Playable on Mobile, In-Browser, and Downloadable

To find the game, you will want to go to Fenoxo.com and hit the “Play” button up in the header to get a short list of currently available games. Alternatively, you can type in Fenoxo.com/play-games/ to get to that same page. TiTS can be played in browser, downloaded and launched as a regular game, or downloaded as an app on Android devices. Regardless of which version you choose, the gaming experience will be practically the same. The mobile version has some minor scaling adjustments to make it useable on a smaller screen, but it plays just the same as the other versions. The game has a pink and blue style that makes one think of sci-fi. It’s styled after what a mobile datapad would look like in something like Star Trek. On whatever platform you load your game up on, you’ll want to hit “New Game” to get right into the action. If you need to adjust menus or other features, then you can take advantage of a rather comprehensive options page. The game starts by having you pick what race you would like to start as. Your character is set to be the son/daughter of the richest man in the entire galaxy: Victor Steele. Explore the Unknown Reaches of the Universe and Meet all of its Erotic Denizens He is searching for a woman to marry so that he can rear a child and have him be even more powerful. You get to pick what half-race you will be by picking your mother’s heritage. Each race has different roleplay features that determine how they act, have sex, and are treated by others in the game. Next, you choose a name for your character and pick their sex. Then you determine your character’s height, weight, hair color, eye color, skin color, breast/genital size, race-specific traits, special sexual abilities like increased vaginal lubrication or active libido, stat bonuses, upbringing/background, personality, and class/job. As you can likely tell, there is a lot that goes into your character. With so many customization options, it is easy to make a character that embraces the way you want to play the game. You can go all out with sexual traits to make for a more erotic experience, or you can go for other traits that offer more variety in combat and roleplay. Just know that this game is focused on strange and extreme fetishes. Your character’s appearance, personality, and even sex may be changed through the course of the game.

Excellent Writing, Quality Artwork, and Fun Gameplay

The game begins with your father’s passing. Your character attends the funeral where they are confronted by your father’s lawyer. Long story short, your character has to prove that they are worthy to own the company by completing tasks and missions on other planets. The game is very sandbox in that you can explore the galaxy in any order you choose, but a full discussion of locations is impossible here. The writing is excellent. It’s good that it is because there is a lot of it. This entire game is focused on erotic storytelling and storytelling in general. There are multiple novels worth of writing housed within this game. And Fenoxo and his team does well with evoking emotion from the player, as well as finding erotic ways to describe the more outlandish scenes that the game has to offer. The main gameplay loop is clicking on different areas and exploring the undiscovered sections of the game. There are sexual and non-sexual encounters, many different NPCs that you can build relationships with, and dungeon-esque areas where you have to fight for your life. Fight Your Way Through the Universe...or Perhaps Take a More Erotic Approach The fighting relies on your core stats and items: Shields, HP, Lust, Energy, Physique, Reflexes, Aim, Intelligence, Willpower, and Libido. Each stat controls a different aspect of your character in roleplay and in combat. A character with high intelligence may discover that a fruit is poisonous before consuming it. And a character with high libido may be more susceptible to lust based attacks from enemies. In combat, there are essentially two directions a player can take to win a battle. They can use weapons or items to subdue a creature, or they can use lust based flirting to make the enemy too aroused to fight. Different fights call for different strategies, and leveling up allows you to change your stats and employ new strategies.

TiTS is Not Stingy with its Lengthy Sex Scenes and Extreme Fetish Content

Winning a fight often means you can have sex with the person or creature you defeat. There will be multiple sex options depending on what sorts of genitalia your character has and what kinds the enemy has. Losing a fight usually means that your character is raped or taken advantage of in some way by the creature. Either way, you will get a long, erotic scene that details everything that happens. Some sexual encounters result in character stat changes such as a more elastic vaginal cavity or even growing an extra appendage.

Pornsite’s Favorite Features

PornDuke didn’t get to talk about it in the upper portion of the review, but the quality of the user interface is worth noting on. The menus are nice to look at, and there was no confusion with what stats did or how things worked. The writing was brilliant, and PornDuke liked how each scene had a tag listed for who wrote it. The replayability of the game is impressive. Every time you play you could go through and have a completely different experience. There are so many decisions that you make that shape the game as you go. It has a nearly infinite amount of replayability. PornDuke also liked that the game was available to play completely free of charge. No memberships, profiles, or even ads to get in the way.

Pornsite’s Suggestions

PornDuke can’t think of much that would make the game better. There were no notable glitches or poor-quality features that stood out. TiTS is a fun, free, and high-quality erotic adventure game. It’s quite rare that all of those things come together seamlessly, but this time they do. Fenoxo has nailed it. CoC was a great game, and TiTS managed to improve on nearly every aspect of it.

Pornsite’s Final Thoughts
