New Pred in Town
A downloadable game for Windows
A young author moves to the big city, in a world not quite our own...
Each year, world-famous author - and notorious predator - K. M. Lyons chooses six aspiring novelists to receive a personal mentorship. The catch? At the end of the year, she plans to swallow and digest the student who has written the least excellent novel. Young predator Liz Newcomb has spent years dreaming of this opportunity, but now that it's hers... will she be able to put down roots in the big city, bring her novel up to Lyons' standards, and survive the intensifying 21st-century vore crisis?
New Pred in Town is an adult visual novel based around the vore fetish. In its universe, human evolution went just a bit differently. All women are biologically capable of swallowing people whole, but most go a whole lifetime without digesting another person. Those who do are not treated as criminals but something else entirely - the predator is a complicated figure in society, both huntress and hunted. She is her community's defense against scum and villainy, yet the last person they will stand up for should she run afoul of a more dangerous predator.
At least, that's how things were supposed to work. In the modern world, as social taboos fray and more young women choose predation, the 21st-Century Vore Crisis has begun to spiral out of control...
New Pred in Town features deckbuilder/card battler gameplay. Prey characters must struggle to inflict nausea on predators before they are digested - while the predator does her best to restrain her prey, massage away nausea, or burp up precious oxygen. Clever combinations of techniques, and taking advantage of the direction the prey is facing, may be the difference between life and death!
Over the course of the story Liz will meet fascinating people, grapple with issues of purpose and community, find her place in an increasingly uncertain world... and do her best to avoid being digested by more dangerous predators!
Featuring a hand-drawn UI, twelve professionally composed music tracks, and a roguelike Endless Mode, New Pred in Town was a joy to put together, and there's so much more to come! The current alpha covers about 60% of the writing (and six out of the fourteen vore scenes) for the first in-game day. It'll take a few years for the project to expand into its full scope. I'm currently planning four weeks of gameplay, one for each season - plus a to-be-determined number of standalone days to cover holidays and other important events in Liz's year.

When is the new update?
Am I suppose to be able to unlock the tier 4 and 5 pred and prey skills?
They're not in the game yet
thank you
Very hot👍
seems fun
Hey! I saw there was an update and I checked it out some more.
I can't believe how much I left on the table the first time through lol, our other commenter saying there were 6 scenes got me looking around. And I found some that weren't really mentioned as in observer scenes. I still have to look through more of this game to find everything, I felt like I was being thorough at first but I've realized I wasn't at all now.
I want to be clear, I love what you're doing here!
Minor gripe though. I've seen it mentioned before, but I don't see a solution. If there isn't a solution yet, that's fine too - I know this is an early build.
When things are on the right side of the screen, I can't read the text that pops up. Half of the text box is off screen. So for instance, inspirations or pred skills. For inspirations usually I'll just use them to learn what they are and then undo my turn, although unfortunately that did lose me an endless run where I never saved. I wanted to put high stakes on myself, then I found (after popping inspirations) not only could I not reset my turn, I also couldn't end my turn. That was a bummer when I was at the last fight before the boss.
The pred skills are more important to be able to read though, you don't get many of them after all. I can't see either.
That's a minor issue though, I'm sure it'll get worked out. I'm still really excited to see where this story is going! Especially having explored so many more ways it can start! Like I started out thinking mc would be pred or prey basically, and those are there, but also I can see now mc being or having a doll, or just many other ways the characters all interact. If you keep the same quality of storytelling this game is going to be amazing when it is finished!
Update:
I think I got all the cards. I say think, because the 68 prey cards are missing Light Side and Dark Side (Luna's cards) and there's a mystery card that I am still missing, but I don't think I'm actually missing anything. So, technically, I'm at 69/68 unlocked cards? Somehow?
No issues with the Pred cards though, 69/69 there. Maybe the Prey cards are meant to be 69 as well but you accidentally put Light Side and Dark Side in the same spot so it shows as one card that you're always missing even though you have them and they don't appear as "New!" in card choices anymore?
Finally found the last of the 6 available vore scenes. I could have sworn I picked those choices already but I assume I just misremembered. It was a good one I like her :)
Also tried out Anal in Endless, and it's pretty cool! Only problem is I am so ridiculously busted that getting in as fast as possible is the best strategy so it never really lasts long lol
I've also encountered a bug that seems to be triggered by the "Retain" ability gained from the new skills. If you use the rewind hand the retained card disappears from your hand, and sometimes clicking End Turn softlocks the game as the button just disappears without doing anything. Sometimes it even prevented other buttons (save, load etc) from working too! Seems like they're somewhat connected as it hasn't happened in other occasions
I've also found that sometimes you click "Save" and when you go to save it actually loads.
Lastly, loading from right after you digest a boss encounter makes it restart as if you've never done it, and it only happens with bosses for some reason.
Right now I'll be playing a bit of endless to try and get all the cards. Perhaps cards that you still haven't obtained should have a bit of priority? Or is there a rarity system that isn't explained directly?
Anyway, keep up the good work! Definitely the best non-JRPG vore game I've played!
Waiting for the subscribestar to be approved. Keep up the good work
Just got done playing your current version of the game. I like it do you plan of having an support page for followers to donate to?
As of this week the game has a new SubscribeStar.adult page. Subscribers gain access to our Discord server and biweekly development builds.
Any chance you could make it compatible for android?
There are no plans for a mobile version.

Same black loading screen as everyone else i presume. Its version 0.0.2c Windows 10 i can navigate main menu and see the initial endless screen but cant enter the game itself. I also tried one of the fixes you posted below but didnt work in my numerous attempts.
same on me too
Try downloading Vorecade and playing it on there if that doesn't work then it is a win 10 issue I have no issues playing on the cade with win 11
This Mega link leads nowhere.
The only known cause of the black loading screen issue, which a tiny minority of players seem to be running into, involves a core issue with Naninovel. It's attempting to run a string comparison which doesn't work when Windows' region is set to Turkey. I've fixed this issue, confirmed by a Turkish friend, in a previous update. If you're still getting the black screen at this point, I can't help you without a Player.log and any other relevant information.
I cannot test this right now but i have confidence the issue may be with windows' region since mine is set to turkey if i remember right. Though i chouldn't understand whether the issue was fixed in the new release or in the previous hotfixes. As for mega link since it was my first time using it thats expected, i'll provide a working one if the issue persists after running the newest version.
Hello!
After playing for quite a while, I realized I've actually only seen 5 out of the 6 currently available vore scenes, and I am terribly lost. I have no idea how I can see that last one, and since this is the very first "update" I figure it's only going to get more complicated from here. I wanted to see all currently available vore scenes before the amount of possible choices makes it impossible to see them all in the limited amount of free time I have.
Below I'm gonna list the 5 scenes I've seen, I ask that you (or someone who's seen them all) can point me to the right direction without outright telling me, if possible.
SPOILER WARNING, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. PLAY THE GAME, IT'S GOOD
(1) Liz eats Helen (2) Liz is eaten by Noriko (3) Liz eats Maya (4) Liz eats Brooke (5) Liz is eaten by Madeline, along with Brooke.
Thanks in advance, and congratulations on making everything so interesting I just have to see everything!
Glad you're enjoying NPiT, and seeking out all the possible ways events can unfold! Those who don't want spoilers should stop reading here:
When Liz is moving in and can ask her roommates various questions, a certain games console may spark an argument. If she makes a poor enough impression, there will be consequences later...
Hello, been playing the game on endless mode a ton lately. is there a discord page or something so I can keep up with for updates ? also anybody else think Wave 1 sophie is almost impossible to beat in endless mode. not many card games can make me tryhard to the point this 1 character can. XD oh and I encountered a bug when using a deck filled with "invent prey technique" I was using it against madelaine and it softlocked me a few times. though I was clicking through it very fast(sorry for the paragraph
Glad you're enjoying the game! The latest public build has marked certain pred characters as particularly difficult and made sure they won't show up during the first half of a wave, so hopefully your Sophie problems will be less frequent.

This game works on joyplay?
No. There are currently no plans for mobile support.

I love the way digestion is done in this
Just found this game a few days ago and I have to say, it's really impressive so far!
I'm not sure I've found everything in the story that's available, but I did play it a couple different ways and it's nice to see that choices can have a long term impact on how things play out. The card battle system is actually well-balanced and fun, it really could go either way most times. I love that the story keeps going through the fight as well, those scenes have been some of the best I've seen in a game!
Endless mode has been fun too, sometimes I feel a little overpowered but it's hard to feel that way at the boss fights ha. It's nice to see more characters and new cards, gives me an idea of some of what's still to come in story mode.
With a well written story, good art (even every card is different, nice touch!), fun gameplay, and already more lore to read I'm definitely excited to see where you go!
there is a bug with the saves were if you save and try to save aging it will just be the same as your first save. so you wont be able to save after the fist one. is there a way to fix it.
cant wait for new update!
Are only the first two rows of skills available as of now? Also skills with benefits based off the campaign useable in endless? Bc personality romance and trophies don't really apply there
So, you've hit a few things that're on my (pun incoming) endless to-do list. Tier 3 skills will be available in the next major update. Trophy Hunter works in Endless - Liz's lucky bracelet counts as a trophy (she took it from her first prey), but I'd like to add trophies to boss fights, and the other campaign skills do need some alternate effects. Can't promise a specific date on those.
Cool cool eager to see it. Keep up the good work take your time
The game doesn't start on windows.I mean I can open the main menu and select the level I am planning to play but the screen goes black and it looks like it is loading,but it is not (the pencil cursor is still moveable on the screen)The game looks crazy from the pictures by the way,I can,t wait to play it.And what exact file I am looking for ? (the files name) I can search in "my computer" even if it will take long.
This isn't a helpful bug report without knowing which version you're on and having your Player.log - you can find that at C:/Users/(username)/AppData/LocalLow/Anunnaki Games/New Pred in Town/. The file does contain your username so if privacy is a concern you should run a find/replace first.
After I get to (username) part and choosing the file that is my username, ı don,t see any appData file :( Do ı have a choise to look at the NPİT file to look for it ?
You likely have Windows set to hide system files, hence why you can't see the AppData folder. And again, which version of the game are you on?
The version that I donwloaded on the website ? (Right ?)
You said you could open the game and view the main menu. What does the text in the upper right-hand corner say?
(I had tried posting a comment already a few days ago, but I don't see it here so I'm gonna try again)
I really like this game!
The story is really interesting and well written, the world has a lot of lore and all the characters look and feel unique, plus the sheer amount of choices and brancing options makes it so you can choose several different paths all of which are interesting and worth seeing! Can't wait to see how the story proceeds, and how you are going to incorporate Liz's everyday life in the story (writing, part-time job etc)
The gameplay for the struggling scenes (both prey/pred) is amazing! I was not expecting something so interactive and genuinely fun! All of the mechanics are well thought out and make sense, and there is a surprising amount of depth to strategies and "combos" you can make, with all those cards for prey/pred allowing for several different deck archetypes (altough some cards are weaker than others, though that makes sense. Not all cards can be good).
I know why I like the gameplay, I'm and avid player of STS (I don't know if I can write the full game name). It works surprisingly well in this scenario, but you put your own unique twist on this so it's still a different game and not just a copy. I really like the idea of Poses for one, and how every character has their own way of being pred/prey. Endless also works really well, but the beginning fights are pretty hard since the starter cards suck, and then you get really strong with all the upgrades and such so the stakes get a bit lower. Still fun though! Altough sometimes I won on the first turn.
Overall, I really liked this game and I can't wait to see more from you! Endless has literally become one of my favourite pastimes for now so props to you!
Have a good day!
truely cant wait for more
Are you plan make android version, sadly its cant run with joiplay
Hey, Anunnaki, it say your games been quarantined, what's that about?
That's an unhelpfully ambiguous report, and I can't help you without knowing what "it" is. One guess is that your antivirus program might be mistaking it for malware?
My antivirus now sees this game as malware. Trojan:script/sabsik.fl.a!ml
False positive.
I've only played for around 10 hours, but I wanted to say a few things. Firstly, thank you for making the game. It's fantastic and I really hope you enjoy making it and keep adding tons of content! There's only one other game that I am eager to see the development of, and this easily rivals it. Anyway, I wanted to go over a few thoughts.
Bugs/Issues:
2 Prey: You can't tell which way they face. With one prey/pred there's text. But I can't tell with 2, and it's a massive disadvantage not knowing what cards work and what don't.
Card Text: Some cards that enemies have are full of text, and I can't read them if they are so small. Maybe make it so they show a larger version of themselves when hovered over.
Menu Covered: If you are in the skills menu and hover over to see what it does, the text can be covered. Some cards are also covered by the "Not collected yet" icon, hiding stats.
Opinions:
First, these are my thoughts, and I don't have much playtime yet. It's your game, and you should ignore me if you think I'm wrong. :)
Story: The story is great, and I'm eager to see what you come up with next in the story. I think it's a bit of a novel, but endless solves any desire for action.
Endless: I ran endless a good number of times now. I also just beat a level 0 boss. Some of those characters have practically god tier cards, and some insane combos.
Deckbuilding: I'd love to be able to unlock cards and freely build a deck that matches my playstyle down the line. Especially ones with different playstyles. I see in Endless Mode Meta Progression that it's set to have an upgraded/paid version which you can build decks. I'm excited for it to release so I can actually do that.
I'd love to be able to build both a burp deck to remove all air quickly and a deck around distracting prey using lust. I don't know if the latter exists, but I think it would be a cool idea.
Last edit: 10/27/2024; 20:22 UTC
You seem confused about a few things. Double-prey scenes don't use the facing mechanic (flip effects instead inflict Nausea or add Restraint, depending on whether the prey or pred character is playing the card). Endless Mode's meta-progression is not a paid feature and is currently in the game.
Is there weight gain?
In-universe, yes; it will be graphically represented later in the story.
New patch still seems to not have fixed save issues, at some point you just kinda stop being able to save in endless mode
This isn't a helpful bug report - what do you mean by "kinda stop being able to save?" Please describe the issue in detail and the next time it returns, provide your Player.log - you can find that atC:/Users/(username)/AppData/LocalLow/Anunnaki Games/New Pred in Town/. The file does contain your username so if privacy is a concern you should run a find/replace first.
So I posted the link to the notes but it seems it happens after the second half of the boss stage on endless mode. Specifically Madeline seems to break it consistently
Again, I can't help you if I don't get a clear bug report. What does "break it" mean in this context? I don't see an error in the log file you linked.
im not sure if this helps explain it but I lose the ability to save and every time I open my techniques it's just this. It ruins the whole save because once this happens once it will happen again everytime
https://mega.nz/file/h54FkI5b#t5Yl47oqeASFfP4lY9T3Fu2DKWd8bJpe_4eQhMJDmsI
This should be the log when it happened again
Damn! this game hasn't been out that long and it's already my favorite the mechanics of the card game excellent (Although in endless mode sometimes it breaks when in a fight and playing for too long 3+hours and the fix I have is loading a quick save I made before the fight on the other side of things in the story mode sometimes the choices in dialog don't pop up once again the solution I found is a quick save and load right there if they don't display PS it only happens for me when I want the multiple choice when talking to Molly and Vera same thing happens just before I meet the Lyons Cubs members) further more I like all the perks in tier 1&2 of both sides I can't wait to see what the others can do and last but not least the story thus far is excellent and can't wait for you to expand the world. Keep up the amazing work!
maybe i just suck, but i'm struggling immensely to manage anything resembling progression in the endless. some cards seem to accomplish next to nothing against the npcs, but are brutal against the player. The "prevent endurance loss" stretch cards in particular seem to do that.
The base here is solid, but the gameplay feels like it needs some tuning. I can't get out of wave 0 in the endless mode, i don't know how other commenters managed to get far enough to break the game.
Edit: the skill point system is pretty hidden, i only caught it when the system gave a point, didn't know it existed prior to that.
I also suspect pressure point isn't working properly, a 20 nausea dot that seemingly can't be dispelled AND gives upside to other card by turn 3 seems really excessive, especially since it only drops 1 stack per turn for that damage output
are you playing it in blind mode so that you don't know your opponents next move, because I find that it is nigh impossible to beat your opponent when you are inside. But if others find it easy then I must be incompetent.
Yeah, sounds like a skill issue bruh. (jk) yeah some of them are just gods compared to what we start with.
Update going too far in endless seems to just break it as a whole. I can no longer use the techniques screen and my encounters are just blank. No cards
i just love it..
This is gonna sound like a joke but I found a bug in endless where you end up with 69 pred and prey cards then it scrolls all the way up and you can't scroll back down. You also have to close it bc it makes the exit button not work
the gray screen bug still aint gone lol
I still can't replicate this bug, and it seems only a small minority of users are experiencing it - so I'm going to have to count on you to run some special diagnostic code. Please download the following patch: https://mega.nz/file/SJY3mSbD#tEd4y07bJo2qE55nhzEiTMBP7UgSUDU3CUodIk6uZzo
...and then replace the file of the same name. Run the game, encounter the bug, and send me your Player.log as before. Please make sure to paste the entire file this time.
https://pastebin.com/7DmAs7Px is this right
That Player.log definitely told me where to look, can you run this process once more? Download a slightly modified version: https://mega.nz/file/nFY03Aab#QcT48Z7CtWgjQ4lFpZSNoZhsheh2UFth6zgrxzsdeB4 and replace as before. This might fix the issue outright, otherwise it'll pinpoint exactly where it's happening.
https://pastebin.com/LfUhAV7R should be it
Alright, one more shot at this. It looks like a fairly basic string comparison is failing on some machines and not others, which is bizarre. I've put together what *should* be a workaround: https://mega.nz/file/WdhRERzR#MEK9nFuge8c8ros9D5tmuyAJNL0gzGzFfYYqbIUgFGs
when is the new round of hotfixes ver releasing
Is there or will there be a discord or like a patreon to see update progress etc?
Soon! I'll make an announcement when it's ready.
Cool, excited to see what's to come
Same
is there weight gain?
In-universe, definitely. It will start being graphically represented in the next story update.
the game gets stuck on a grey screen whether i try to play it normally or do endless mod
Is this happening on your first attempted playthrough, or did the game work before? Which version are you using (check the text on the title screen)? Have you changed any of the default options?
i have not changed any of the default option as far as i know and im using the initial hotfix ver ive rebooted the game a few times aswell to see if it would fix it 0.0.1e
and yes it is my first attempted playthrough
That's worrisome. The next order of business, if you'd like to help me track this issue down, would be to check out your Player.log file. You can find that at C:/Users/(username)/AppData/LocalLow/Anunnaki Games/New Pred in Town/. Run the game, encounter the glitch, then upload that file to pastebin or a similar site. Be aware that the file does include your username, so if privacy is a concern you should do a find-and-replace first.
which file am i supposed to upload playerlog or playerprevlog could you also upload a version of the game before the hotfix maybe that would fix it for me atleast
i think kisekae characters are great, but paired with the ai portraits is kinda a miss, maybe its just me.
other than that i dont know if every 2nd boss in endless mode buggs out or if it was just my "luck" and my deck got bugged, so im hardlocked in my endless run, i loaded an older state, beat prior enemys and the same occured
Can you clarify what you mean by "bugs out?" What is the issue and under which specific circumstances does the issue occur?
probably the bug i've encountered in endless mode, where the deck breaks entirely and i no longer have any cards in either the prey or pred side, additionally starting combat displays no cards on either side
yeah exactly
