Edgefield
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Our first release dropped Friday, March 14th at 8pm ET for Patreon subs.
And on Friday, March 21st at 8pm ET, for free for everyone else.
There will be an Android version made available shortly after our first release.There is an Android version available now!
This game will always be free, but by subbing to our Patreon, you'll receive exclusive perks while directly supporting its development. Patrons get early access to new updates before anyone else, along with unique rewards that vary by subscription tier.
Your contributions help bring this game to life and ensure that we can continue creating and improving it for everyone. Without you, this game would not be possible.
Edgefield is a mix of the adult visual novel, dating sim and point-and-click adventure genres with a wide and colorful cast of characters to meet, befriend, and romance (in fully animated scenes) as you make your way through your freshman year at Edgefield University. Whether you choose to play as a male or female protagonist, you’ll have the freedom to pursue relationships with characters of any gender, with a goal of making this a deeply personal and inclusive experience.
*ML/AI is used as a tool to assist with some of the art while other art is done completely by hand. No other areas of the game are made using ML/AI.
The Story (So Far)
So, here’s the setup: You’re 18 years old and on your way to Edgefield University, an expensive, prestigious school you’re honestly kinda shocked you got into. You’re interested in photography, but are undecided on what you’re going to study. On your ride there, you’re accompanied by your dad, his new gf, Sasha and her daughter, Emma.
Once you arrive, you move into your dorm room and meet your new floormates. You can choose to flirt or make friends with any and all of them — totally up to you. We want to give you total freedom in who you pursue without locking you out of content if you’re not into a specific character. Everything is optional.
Who Are We
Gopher (Lead Dev / Artist) - I’ve worked as a game dev for years and have made a lot of games. I've always had a sort of quiet passion for adult games, but this is my first time making one.
Dr. Bird (Writer, She/Her) - Hi! I've been writing professionally for a while now, and am a long time lover of fan-fiction and graphic novels. When Gopher approached me about working on Edgefield I was most excited about the inclusion of a female lead character. That is something I think is HEAVILY missing from the AVN genre, and I am just the gal to fill that hole.
Some of the Main Characters
(In Order)
- Dad – Dorky, well-meaning guy. Tries his best.
- Sasha - Your dad’s new girlfriend. Trying awkwardly to bond with you.
- Emma - Sasha's daughter. Does not like you. In her Junior year at Edgefield.
- Theo - Intelligent and encouraging. Future president (probably). Studying Political Science.
- Peter – Horny class clown. Always joking. Studying Music Theory.
- Quinn – Chill skater girl. Gives you shit, but in a fun way. Undecided Major.
- Penelope – Shy gamer. Loves anime. Classic. Studying Game Design.
- Jun – Cheerful goth. Artsy and open-minded. Studying Fine Art.
- Victoria – Influencer. Model. Cam-girl. Studying Economics.
- Jada – History buff. Into archaeology and local myths and legends. Studying History.
- Lucia – Sweet, bookish, and probably too pure for this group. Studying Biology.
- Sunny – Giant nerd. Total sweetheart. Knows computers inside out. Studying Computer Science
- Kerry – Confident film geek. Big horror movie fan. Studying Filmmaking.
- Trent – Football player. Jock with a surprising soft side. Studying Business.
- Edmund – Romantic English exchange student. Poet type. Studying literature.
Gameplay Systems
(Not all gameplay mechanics listed are in the first release)
Open World, Sandbox Map - We want Edgefield to feel like a place you can actually explore. Plenty of locations, random encounters, characters with daily schedules, that kind of thing.
Romantic / Friendship Routes - Every major character has their own story arc with either a Romantic or Friendship route and you’re able to change your mind about which of these relationships you want with each of them.
Room Customization - You'll have your own dorm room and will be able to deck it out however you like. Posters, furniture, weird junk you collect after completing quests — it'll feel like your space.
Booty Call Mechanic - If you hit it off with someone, you'll eventually be able to invite them over for some late-night fun. Gotta build up that relationship first, though. This will serve as one of the ways to view repeatable sex scenes.
Jobs (For Money) - We’re planning some part-time job options that let you earn cash / meet new people around town.
Studying (For Grades) *Still workshopping this idea* - Tests happen every 7 in-game days. You’ll need to study a few times each week to keep your grades up. Studying is just a quick 3-second montage or something (no player input needed) that progresses the in-game time by one.
You’ll have 21 time slots per week, and maybe 3-5 of those will need to go toward studying if you want to keep your grades up. Passing tests comes with perks, but failing won’t ruin your game — you'll just have a different experience.
Eventually there will be ways to study more efficiently (meaning you’ll be able to study less per week), and ways to get away without studying at all. This is meant to be a fun resource management system, but not something that is overly burdensome.
Phone (For Nudes) - A cell phone with a contacts menu, texting, a photo gallery and blah blah blah etc. It’s a phone.
Collectible Trading Cards - Hot trading cards hidden around campus. Because who doesn’t love monster girls.
Planned Tags / Kinks - (all optional)
- Male or Fem MC
- Harem, Romance
- Friendship routes
- Step-sibling (sort of)
- Hardcore sex
- Group sex
- Role Playing
- Dom/Sub
- Cam girl
- Sexwork
- Corruption
- Milf
- Bdsm
- Bi
- Gay
- Lesbian
- Goth
- Tomboy
- College Professor
- Sugar Mommy / Daddy
- Deepthroat
- Anal
- Conversion (straight-to-gay and vice versa)
- Trans
- Sexting
- Glory hole
- Masturbation
- Spying
- Monster girls (just the cards)
- Pregnancy (eventually)
- And more.
What's Next?
Like I mentioned at the top, the first release dropped Friday, March 14th at 8pm ET for Patreon subs and Friday, March 21st at 8pm ET for everyone else.
The first release is basically "Day One" at Edgefield — finding your room, making friends, figuring out who you’re interested in and seeing what this whole college thing is about. It’s about laying the groundwork for a lot more drama, romance, and horny shit down the line. We’re planning regular content updates after launch with more story progression, updates to gameplay mechanics and obviously more animations.
We’re also very interested in your feedback, so please let us know what you think of the game and what you might like to see in a future update.

not sure what these unique rewards are, but since I hate the patreon paying method, I would only really consider paying here in the end.
I just hope we don't get annoyed by a big "you would get this scene if you had pareon so select the other one" mechanic.
we wanna see how big and long the updates take then we go to pay for thiis game
but now it looks nice
Amazing! This game seems really promising. It says a lot that i think this game is better than many other i have play with just this short teaser. I hope this game comes to fruition. The ai style is the only thing that bothers me a bit since I've seen so many ai images it looks kind of default. but besides that cant wait to see what's in store for the future.
Looking forward to seeing how this develops going forward, but based on the amount of f/f content teased so far, I've wishlisted it.
<333
Kerry and Theo are adorable, not really into the dream we were forced to be in since girls gross me out.
Right now 10/10, but still to early to give an overview rating. I'll probably wait for a few updates before retrying because I'm binge kinda guy lol
extremely well-made game, the writing is good so far, and the characters are all cute! The only thing I will say is that I wish it were more obvious when the text bubble is a thought. For me, it is a little hard to tell that there are italics.
Very promising game. Yeah, you can tell it has AI art as a foundation since the first frame, where the window doesn't align with the hinges, but the overall result it's quite polished, the quality's good and the characters are very interesting. I'm not a fan of AI art in general, but if used carefully, with some retouches, instead of being abused to churn out random slop I can get behind it. The end result is what matters.
The story, the writing and the different possibilities are the best part IMO, even just in early access, really makes you want more. Lot of potential, as usual we're gonna have to see the size and consistency of updates but this is off to a great start.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't wait to see what would become of the female mc. It's very interesting. Please take your time.
<33333
I absolutely love it! Art is nice, everyone in the cast is absolutly adorable, there is a bit of cinematic direction and it's well done. Great job you guys, I'm looking foreword to play every updates <3
Thank you!! <3
I didn't realize how short it'd be and got really invested :(
I love Jun! She's so cute, I'll be eagerly waiting for future updates!

I believe we got this fixed in Discord, right?
yep, downloaded the one from patron. Do you want me to delete this comment?
Sweet, nah it's all good :)
Played the game a few days ago, and I am very excited for what's to come. So much potential here! If you are willing and able, please support the game on Patreon (hopefully they add a "name your price" option down the line). Projects with this much heart are few and far between these days, so I'm happy to support. Anyway, great job devs, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!! <333
Verry ambitiouss will be watching. If you need help writing a bi character im your guy. Check me out on A_Caspian on Wattpad.
So glad to have found this game. There's not many decent adult games with a female protagonist - most of the stuff I see out there is just some exaggerated thirst fest or corruption. Can't wait for more content!
agreed. while the corruptions stuff is nice sometimes imo, there is a noticeable lack of other genres. a suggestion if you (or anyone else reading this) want a game similar(ish) to what edgefield seems to plan on being would be Course of Temptation by anthaum. its text-based with the only images being the map areas iirc, but its got a lot of character creation options and its also MC going to college and doing whatever you want them to do.
I actually played Course of Temptation and really enjoyed it. Text-based games have quickly become a new favourite for me.
game looks really good so far, i hope to see more femboyish things on it! (idk if this everyone cup of tea but if you guys add a way to make him thiccer or give the mc a bigger dick i would sub on patreon so fast)
Hit he/him pronouns and I'm being called a "good girl" please fix it's driving me nuts and I can't enjoy anything
I'll fix that!
thx
Absolutely loved the cinematography! Everything so far is visually and stylishly excellent, Especially the panning across the screen of the photos for the intro! Definitely impressive! Are we going to see any potential customization? Things like clothes/ outfits. Hairstyles or hair color? Keep up the hard work and thanks!
No customization planned. It would complicate things a lot and isn't where we feel we should invest our efforts atm. Thank you!
the game looks really great, i can see some science things on it, so by any chance there might be a future "dick expansion" or "ass expansion" route? or maybe some hyper stuff, i like my femboy with a big dong and fat ass so it would be cool and really amazing if we can make him bigger or ourselfs bigger too! such a good game that simply appear on day, keep the hard work
I only just started playing, and I know you just got the Android port, but still I’d like to suggest a few things I’ve seen other games do:
hidebutton at the bottom, as well as with a downward swipe gesture.The motivation of the above 2 is that on Android with the limited screen space, the text area can cover a substantial part of the artwork. As I said, I just started, so I don’t know if you might be hiding the text area at critical points, but either way, a user may wish to be able to see better what is behind it, even if it’s just the background, so would be a very appreciated feature to have.
The motivation of those 2 are that using the buttons are a bit annoying on Android.
Those features are just nice to have so don’t feel pressured to implement them immediately, or at all if it seems to difficult.
With Android out of the way, on to the actual gameplay:
Typos:
Requests:
Questions:
This is all great feedback, thank you!
- I'll look into the mobile optimizations.
- I'll fix that typo and yes, you will be able to look at all images that have been sent to you in a image gallery app that we're adding in the next update.
- Maybe once there is some more content, maybe we'll add a name your own price.
- More customization would be a lot of work and isn't something we feel is worth investing our time in atm.
- There will be plenty of kinks we explore down the road. Some will certainly involve the mc's camera/photography.
We need to make this game exposed to the gamer community who interested in vn style games, one of the most refreshing VN since forever in my opinion. i love that the devs and whoever the responsible in makin the game broaden the stereotypical F/M vn games i love love love that they makin optional options for LGBTQ folk. TQ So so much for this kind of games.
<333
The game is incredible, writing, visuals, characters and gameplay. Looks promising and worth supporting. Thank you for making something worthwhile! <3
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it!
I got the Team Rocket reference.
is it too soon to ask when the next update will be?
Yay android port thank u
overall, its promising. had a few generally small complaints that involve things that i imagine (and hope) are only interim/placeholder solutions (e.g., only one actual 'sprite' for each character, complete lack of wardrobe changes, etc). i am somewhat concerned about the wording of "trans (femboy)" tag, because ultimately being a femboy and being trans are two separate things. especially as a trans woman this is concerning because there is some conflation of trans women and femboys by a not-insignificant number of people on the internet. still, im excited to see where the game goes and what sort of debauchery i can get the main character to engage in. :3
Great feedback! That's good to know and I'll make sure I fix it. Would you mind messaging Dr. Bird on our Discord? We've been hoping to get some more info on ways to respectfully implement that sort of content. <3
What a wonderful game so far! The art is fantastic, feels very distinct, and I loved the vibrant look. The ambition of the game is impressive all the the while knowing that each update and the inevitable final product will take time I hope the team does not lose heart of this ambitious scope. The game felt like a breath of fresh air in this gaming area so I am definitely looking forward to more soon!
<33
Hello, the beginning of the game fascinated and intrigued me. Do you already have a preliminary date for the release of the expansion?
No estimate atm. We're still working on our production schedule.
Okay, but why is the dad so hot? Fingers crossed for a professor who looks similar lol
;)
+1
First feedback less than a minute in: Some people like to actually read the story but can't read as fast as you have set it to write. After I give my name the "story/background" goes by way to fast to read and there is no way to stop it. You may want to include a setting to allow "click to proceed" as most other games have done.
I love the art but still prefer to understand what's going on even if it isn't important.
did you download through mega nz? wanted to know if its safe or not.
I did not but given a choice Mega has it's own pre-scan virus checks which you don't see (I paid a small fortune directly supporting Mega). It should be safe but as with all things take anything said online with a grain of salt
Great feedback! Thank you!
Secondary feedback: I have gotten to the "Floor Meeting" fifth person before I had to shutdown and it has only gotten better but... if I as a real person am holding a box and told "Take the F***ing keys!" I am going to respond with "Yes I will just use my prehensile 12 foot penis that I am hiding in this box full of stuff you moron. Put them in my pocket or place them in my hand because I don't want to dump my s*** all over you.". Just sayin'
Hahaha
will the femboy be able to dom us?
Hey there, happy to see the game finally out.
I have some questions for the kinks/tags list:
Are they applied to all possible romance options or are they only for specific characters?
If we go with for e.g the lesbian content. Does it mean you could have a relationship with all females cast in the game or only specific individual?
Same question with the Dom/Sub, BDSM and maybe hardcore sex tag.
Finally, in link with those tags above, how about one for "outdoor/public sex" seen the sandbox map (e.g: in the park / public library / theater).
Cheers,
Our current plan is for a lot of the tags/kinks to be tied to specific characters. However, your sexual preference won't lock you out of content. If you're a woman, you can pursue any woman.
Dom/Sub can easily be a more widely shared kink among the characters, whereas BDSM will probably stay tied to just a few. There will definitely be some outdoor/public stuff, but the list was already so long. We couldn't include everything haha
Can we make it so that female LIs only have sex and a romantic relationship with the male MC and absolutely no one else?
If the game can be a harem, I guess you can make the only one who has sex with the girls (both on screen and off screen) be the MC.
Is it possible to steal the main character's father's girlfriend and turn him into a cuckold?
That's not something you can do in this release, but we'll see what happens in the future ;)
Man, I found your gae on reddit, tried 1000x times to find it on itchio search and found nothing. I need to click on the direct link.
I dont know why they are hidding your game
I appreciate the interest and sorry about the confusion! I don't believe it's searchable at the moment because there's no download available yet. After I upload the first release, it'll be indexed and hopefully show up in the browse menus.
Oh. thanks. I didnt know about that
Good evening! I just came to say, you would be interested in getting help with english to spanish translation for your game?
Thx for reading! c:
Absolutely! Please message me (Gopher) on our Discord server or send us an email at undercoverpopgames@gmail.com
Thank you!
I sent you a friend request on Discord too, thx for your reply 👌
Hello there,
Also saw your game on Reddit and it does look very promising.
I see you posted a tracker here on Itch but I don't see any legend of what each color means? Could you develop on this? I am on my phone so maybe that why I can't see what each color represent. I only see the % of completion.
Also, I know that this is still in development, so no rush in that, but it would be nice when it's ready if you could provide a list of kink that are planned in the game too.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Huh, yeah it's supposed to be transparent with white text. Thanks for pointing that out. We'll definitely post a list of kinks - hopefully in the near future! Thank you!
Edit - Looks like I fixed it!
For this type of game, I find having a wide variety of flavors (kinks), especially ones that are a bit more fringe, is very valuable. People do need to be able to avoid the flavors that turn them off but they should feel comfortable exploring ones that maybe they would not explore in real life but could experiment with in a game setting.
I completely agree! Allowing the player to explore options, while not forcing them to do anything they don't want is a crucial point we discussed when originally coming up with the idea for the game.
says no compatible download
Yeah, it's still a work in progress. Should be out in the next couple months.
I’m liking the look of this so far. Just came from Reddit.
Are there any limits for kinks, and not just the usual ones? Like magic/otherworldly/extraterrestrial type things.
The only fantasy thing we have at the moment are these collectible trading cards that can be found in the game. For now, we're focusing on the main narrative of attending college and really developing those relationships, but I'd love to add some more fantasy stuff in the future.
Wow, those look amazing! Can’t wait!
