Space Bear is a single player action game with a erotic theme. It was developed by Damon Smith and was released on March 5, 2020. It received mostly positive reviews from critics and overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

Space Bear is a multi-choice text adventure typing game! Sort of. I mean, there isn't many actual choices, and the typing is more "mashing"...

    • “This game made me laugh so hard I almost threw up, and the game also brought actual tears to my eyes.”
    • “I'm being totally serious when I say it has some of the best meta humor and character moments I've seen in a game.”
    • “It's not a game; you just mash keys to fill predetermined, unfunny dialogue as it tries desperately to be entertaining yet fails miserably.”

  • story

    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    51% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The story is widely praised for its engaging, humorous, and often quirky narrative that balances comedy with emotional depth.

Overall, it is considered a standout element that enhances the game's charm and memorability.

    • “The plot is a masterpiece, inspired by the likes of Hideo Kojima (seriously the plot has a weird amount of similarities to Metal Gear Rising).”
    • “This game is a masterpiece even though it may be short, it tells a compelling story of two characters going on an adventure with amazing detail to the story and the gameplay is very interesting.”
    • “The story of Space Bear will live on for millennia, the realistic emotions, lifelike decisions we all have to make one day, fighting off alien bugsters... this is why I nominated it for most outstanding - story rich game of 2020.”
    • “The story was absolutely goofy with serious plot holes, but I didn't go into this hoping for a decent story—I wanted wackiness—and that's what I got.”
    • “The premise is dumb, the controls are dumb, the story is dumb, and it's just... dumb.”
    • “The game was super irritating at times (sometimes the choices make you feel like tearing your hair out), and there were a few points throughout where I felt my patience wearing dangerously thin (let's not forget quitting is just a short click away), but ultimately, the desire to wrap up the story, as well as see if anything outrageous would actually happen in the end (spoiler alert: no, unfortunately), kept me going.”

    • “Not much gameplay outside of button mashing, but the writing is hilarious.”
    • “The art is not impressive, but the execution of the game mechanic combined with the foot-in-mouth dialogue and a cliché story is somehow fantastic.”
