Also the voice acting was SUBLIME French fucking kiss, props to the writing too. Personally to me, it was fluid and actually human. I dont think it could've been better, nor do I think it will be topped for years to come (for me) genuinely the best shit I've seen be that good or bad in someone else's eyes.
Haha, thanks! We're really glad you liked it! The demo for the sequel is coming out in about a month, so maybe keep an eye on that.
As for your question, buying the game on Itch gives us a little more money than Steam, but Itch doesn't show NSFW games on its searches at all anymore, so reviewing us on Steam is arguably the best way to support us. Or even just giving us feedback on what you did/didn't like and what you think could've been done better. That way we can make better things in the future. That goes for everybody, really!
We used to have a Patreon, but have since removed it. I just didn't have a lot to post (and the things I did felt weird to paywall, since they were just WIP sketches from Sulcate and behind-the-scenes stuff - I'd rather just show that stuff publically). It also didn't get a lot of traction, and I'd rather spend my time on game development to begin with, so it just didn't really make sense to me.
Hey, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I'm not sure we're able to do that, in part for safety reasons (resale of Steam keys is very common) and because I get a feeling Steam wouldn't allow it. It probably wouldn't be available in your region at all. The game is the same on both, though, and the Steam version doesn't have achievements or anything like that.
It's not Steam that isn't allowing it. It's the German government who demanded that Valve bow down before them by implementing a bunch of changes to Steam that Valve didn't want to implement so they just blocked all 18+ erotic games.
Since Steam only blocks access to the steam pages of those games on Steam if you've set your region to Germany, they don't actually make it impossible to own those games. It still works when activating a steam key as long as the steam key is global, some regions are also capable of gifting the game to a German steam account.
So you don't have to worry about Steam not allowing it. Their solution was actually pretty lazy all things considered. I think it's because Gabe Newell did not care much about or for the demands of the German government.
So that only leaves your worries about me reselling the key. I can only ask that you trust me as a loyal customer, I kinda bought your game because I was hoping for a steam key. I like all my games in one place if you get me? Adding Benefitship as a non-Steam key is a constant reminder that my government seems to think it gets to decide the content I view in my own home despite the content only featuring FICTIONAL characters (who are clearly depicted as ADULTS who CONSENT btw). And that feeling bothers me a lot. I'm in my late twenties, not a teenager who needs a babysitter ffs. Pretty please reconsider? I'll provide proof of purchase...
That's alright, I can see that you've purchased Benefitship here. Seems like it was back in the very start of October of last year, though, so I'm unsure why you'd wait until now to make the request for a Steam key. That said, if you can send us an email at benefitshipgame@gmail.com, we can probably share a key with you.
OK, my email starts with hanso. So you know it's me.
My first request comment wasn't posted because I only recently created an actual itch account. Before that my purchases were done as a guest. I didn't realize until recently that the comment wasn't actually posted back then (because I assumed that after the automatic review it would eventually appear without me having to do anything) so I reposted my comment only now.
Um jogo com uma produção audiovisual completa e de destaque por um preço acessível!
Parabéns à equipe com o roteiro, que exume carinho e atenção para o relacionamento e personalidade das personagens do início ao fim.
Parabéns à Sucate pelas ilustrações excelentes, em especial as cores.
Parabéns às dubladoras Baku Satsu (Amy) e Gina Galore (Chloe) pelo trabalho que fizeram na dublagem em inglês. A primeira impressão é um pouco caricata, mas queria dizer que conforme o jogo se desenvolve, se revela um trabalho feito cheio de carinho pelas personagens que atuam, com atenção dada a cada linha, acredito que para extrair mais das artistas, o que careceu foi de uma direção de áudio mais presente, que direciona mais a qualidade, melhorando algumas sequências e expandindo o escopo emocional presente no roteiro para também as vozes.
Quanto ao trabalho de SFX e GUI, o SFX é bom, mas poderia estar mais presente, na cena do sonho por exemplo é importante que ele venda a progressão de maneira a não ser uma experiência difícil de acompanhar. A GUI é bem feita, editada e oferta o que é esperado da engine enquanto mantém um visual gostoso e aconchegante. Uma característica de qualidade de vida que eu senti falta é a de fazer as falas continuarem se a próxima linha não for uma linha dublada.
Quanto à edição, eu acho que existe espaço para comentar do uso de "smear frames", que se precipitam e aparecem rápido demais. Eles são bons para vender a ideia de movimento, mas na cena do boquete, por exemplo, fica estranho a velocidade com a qual ele aparece. São CGs muito bem desenhados, mas devem ser usados parcamente. Atenção dobrada deve ser dada para os efeitos de SFX que antecedem e tocam durante uma cena que usa de smear frames, já que a informação visual fica comprometida.
Acima de tudo, é uma excelente história. Quero re-experienciá-la com o lançamento da dublagem japonesa e espero ver o estúdio novamente com a continuação de Halloween do universo!
Feliz 2026!

A game with complete and outstanding audiovisual production at an affordable price!
Congratulations to the team on the script, which exudes affection and attention to the relationship and personality of the characters from start to finish.
Congratulations to Sucate for the excellent illustrations, especially the colors.
Congratulations to voice actresses Baku Satsu (Amy) and Gina Galore (Chloe) for their work on the English dubbing. The first impression is a little caricatured, but I wanted to say that as the game develops, it reveals a work done with great care for the characters that act, with attention given to each line. I believe that to get more out of the artists, what was lacking was a more present audio direction, which directs the quality of the delivery intently, improving some sequences and expanding the emotional scope present in the script to also include the voices.
As for the SFX and GUI work, the SFX is good, but it could be more present. In the dream scene, for example, it is important that it sells the progression in a way that is not a difficult experience to follow. The GUI is well done, edited, and offers what is expected from the engine while maintaining a pleasant and cozy look. One quality of life feature that I felt was missing is to make the lines continue if the next line is not a dubbed line.
As for the editing, I think there is room for comment on the use of “smear frames,” which rush in and appear too suddenly. They are good for selling the idea of movement, but in the self-blowjob scene, for example, the speed with which it appears is strange. They are very well-drawn CGs, but should be used sparingly, requiring proper build up (which was really well done with all the penetration scenes). Double attention should be paid to the SFX effects that precede and play during a scene that uses smear frames, as the visual information is compromised, so it must be supplemented.
Above all, it's an excellent story. I want to re-experience it with the release of the Japanese dubbing and I hope to see the studio again with the Halloween sequel to the universe!
I opted for posting this here since the review wasn't letting me paste the translation. I in no way want to imply what the devs should be doing, but instead only wished to give detailed extensive feedback to a game I loved.
I tried to download the demo on android, but cannot figure out how to access. I downloaded the zip file, and extracted it, but can't find anything within the files to actuallu install the demo.
Hi! We actually don't control the links directly - we just provide the files to Itch.
"javascript (void)" is actually a browser term that means the link basically functions as a button. If you're trying to control-click on the link, that's probably why it doesn't work. "javascript (void)" links generally only work when clicked normally.
Alternatively, you may have something blocking popups, like anti-malware or a browser extension.
No, the Android version is up to date. It's simply that the most recent updates have been patches for issues that were really only present on desktop. Updating the Android version with a new build would've changed nothing.
It should also be said that Benefitship is complete, so any updates are merely bug fixes or minor improvements.
Did I play the demo and was satisfied there? Yes! Did I spend the money on the full thing, knowing I needed it for later? Yes! Do I regret it? No... no I don't, best game ever ;).
The game is really cute but I'm pretty sure you didn't intend it to do this (it's the demo so maybe it's already fixed in the game), just letting you know! Keep up the good work!
Oh, that's concerning. Is that in the demo or the full version? Are you still getting it when opening the gallery? If so, could you try sending us a screenshot, so we can try to figure out the problem?
Oh, sorry about that. I'll look into it as soon as I can and hopefully get back to you in a day or two. How far are you in the game? Have you finished it or are you only partway through?
Just to make sure, this is on the full version from Itch.io, right?
Also, if you have time, could you try clicking the "Copy Markdown" button and sending it to us either here or on the email benefitshipgame@gmail.com? You should be able to paste it with CTRL+V.
Damn, for having only played the demo I was fascinated, I hope to be able to buy the full game soon, I just came to leave a comment of satisfaction and support for you dear developers👏🏻
★★★★★ One of the best static VNs I've read, amazing writing. My only regret is how short it is (about 2 hours with auto on) but well worth the price. I don't enjoy unrealistically large futas and cumflation but the art and story was so good it never once bothered me
It's two hours at most, by the time you "try it," it's already over. You will probably spend more on fast food several times a week, why not just buy it for a measly $3
If you'd like to try Benefitship, we provide a free demo for everybody. It sounds like what you actually want is the entire game for free, which is piracy.
We obviously won't pressure you into buying the game - it's your money and it's up to you what you wish to spend it on - but please refrain from asking for piracy links.
Or, at the very least, please have the respect not to do it in our comment section.
Honestly you need to stop updating the pages content instead you should be working on the games content because one little scene ain't going to do much for anybody
Benefitship is actually complete - it isn't really receiving updates anymore, as we're working on the sequel and other games. The updates to the storefront here are to help increase our sales, etc., such that we have more money to put into future game content.
That said, we are sorry that people keep receiving notifications for it. I would disable it if I could, but it seems that Itch.io insists on giving people notifications for it.
It sounds like you might've downloaded the demo, rather than purchased the actual game, if you're only experiencing one scene.
It's a very good Futa (introvert) x Female (extrovert) story... I enjoyed it, it was near perfect with the interactions, story build-up and voice acting. It was a little short though, it could have been explored further.
Say are you interested in doing a Tomboy x Femboy story in the future? Maybe an extroverted femboy and an introverted tomboy?
Glad you liked it! Yeah, we're aware Benefitship was a little too short - the sequel will be a bit longer.
Unfortunately, we probably won't be doing anything like tomboy x femboy for the foreseeable future. Not that we'll never do it, but it requires that we have something interesting to tell.
I just purchased this VN, I fancied the art style and I thought the EN voice acting was spot on. I'm also looking forward to knowing more about your next projects, especially the upcoming one "Born to Breed", the more futa content, the merrier ;).
Besides, finding out this VN has got Japanese voice acting got me even more interested, so I'm playing it in my spare time.
Thanks, we're glad you liked it! I don't know how many people have actually tried it with the Japanese voice acting, but I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to give it a go!
Well, that depends on whether or not you listen to the full voice acting. If you do (which I highly recommend), it'll probably be a little under an hour and a half. That's per our estimates, anyway. I know some people have read the narration faster, and so they've gotten through it quicker.
Unfortunately, we're nowhere near having a release date for the sequel. If we're lucky, it'll be by the end of this year, but it also might not be until early next year. I wish I could give you something more certain, but since all the art is done by one person, we're generally subject to his schedule.
In the mean time, we're releasing other games with different artists. Our next fully voiced game, Born to Breed, has a free demo out now, and is expected to release within a few months.
Afraid not! A lot goes into managing a Discord, and we'd rather spend that time making games. If you want to be notified of updates and such, I recommend following our Twitter, @benefitshipgame.
Glad you liked it! I guess you'll have to wait and play the sequel - no spoilers.
As for the meal in the final scene, it wasn't exactly thought through in detail, since the meal itself wasn't plot-critical, but while writing it, I always pictured it as a kind of stew.
Not technically canon, since I might think of something else that works better for storytelling purposes, but something like this is what was in my mind.
The .exe file doesn't support joiplay on my phone. It's just crashes, i want to play the game with full quality.Is there some loss on android version? Why in all VN games the android version costs less megabytes? So I'm asking that can you make anything to make the game support joiplay?
The Android version should look and sound just as good as the desktop version. The APK is a smaller size because we compressed all the audio files to OGG instead of WAV, which is a lot smaller, and it sounds just as good. All our future games will be using OGG files on desktop as well. Most games do.
The images haven't been compressed any differently. They should look exactly the same.
As for JoiPlay, I'm not sure I can do anything about that, since it's a third-party tool, but if you're on Android, you should be able to play Benefitship with the APK at just as high a quality as on PC.
Benefitship has actually been effectively complete from version 1.0. Versions 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 added quality-of-life features and Japanese voice acting respectively.
We're currently working on a sequel, as well as a couple of other games! You can see the other two upcoming games on https://rfh-games.itch.io/.
For more updates on Benefitship 2, you can follow our X/Twitter, @benefitshipgame.
I don't know if it would be too much to ask, but it could be translated into Portuguese in the future (I'm actually using the translator to write this, my English isn't that good).
No arguments? You mean no reason? Being able to play games, like this one and consume other media seems like a pretty good reason, and if that doesn't convince you, why are you complaining?
But yeah, sure, let the creator of every game make a translation to his language, THAT is quick and easy, huh? Just because he is too lazy to learn a second language (which basically everybody on the internet speaks).
Sorry, but we aren't really planning to localize to other languages.
The Japanese localization was an exception because Benefitship is loosely inspired by anime and hentai, which are traditionally in Japanese, and we thought it could be fun to have Japanese voice acting.
Localization takes time and money that we'd rather spend making more games, which is our main focus right now.
I do not know if it's me but it does not let me start the game because my windows tells me that the game is malicious and will not let me start it please someone could help me.
Hey, sorry you're having issues. I haven't heard of anybody encountering that with us before.
If it's Windows security, you should be able to click "More Info" and then "Run Anyway."
If it's something else - like an anti-malware software such as Malwarebytes - you'll either have to temporarily disable said software or whitelist Benefitship. Unfortunately, that sort of thing is program-specific; You can probably find a tutorial on YouTube.
I almost forgot to thank you for the help. I'm somewhat new to using Windows and I didn't know I could run the program even if that blue screen appeared and sorry for answering you until now.

Why is Android only up to 1.2.0?
PC contains bug fixes specific to PC. The content is the same.
Would buying the game here be the best way to support you or is there somewhere else? Also howcome you dont have a Patreon?
(Glazing warning)
Also the voice acting was SUBLIME French fucking kiss, props to the writing too. Personally to me, it was fluid and actually human. I dont think it could've been better, nor do I think it will be topped for years to come (for me) genuinely the best shit I've seen be that good or bad in someone else's eyes.
MWAH YOU COOKED
Haha, thanks! We're really glad you liked it! The demo for the sequel is coming out in about a month, so maybe keep an eye on that.

It also didn't get a lot of traction, and I'd rather spend my time on game development to begin with, so it just didn't really make sense to me.
I bought your game on Itch. May I get a Steam key? Can't buy Benefitship on Steam because Germany. :(
Hey, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I'm not sure we're able to do that, in part for safety reasons (resale of Steam keys is very common) and because I get a feeling Steam wouldn't allow it.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it!
A lot of it are already things I've noted myself, and we're doing our best to implement them in Benefitship 2: The Hallowed Wiener.
We hope you enjoy the Japanese dub of Benefitship and the demo for Benefitship 2 coming this February!
I tried to download the demo on android, but cannot figure out how to access. I downloaded the zip file, and extracted it, but can't find anything within the files to actuallu install the demo.
Hey! I'm afraid the demo doesn't have an Android version; That's only for the full version. The demo is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac, though.
Do game differ from steam to itch?? Like any censorship??
Nope, there should be no difference.
Hi! We actually don't control the links directly - we just provide the files to Itch.
"javascript (void)" is actually a browser term that means the link basically functions as a button. If you're trying to control-click on the link, that's probably why it doesn't work. "javascript (void)" links generally only work when clicked normally.
Alternatively, you may have something blocking popups, like anti-malware or a browser extension.
Hope that helps!
Now it just worked. I don't know what was happening before. Sorry for the bother and thanks for the game :)
Hope you enjoy!
Was the Android version abandoned?
No, the Android version is up to date. It's simply that the most recent updates have been patches for issues that were really only present on desktop. Updating the Android version with a new build would've changed nothing.
It should also be said that Benefitship is complete, so any updates are merely bug fixes or minor improvements.
Im a bit dissapointed... i bought the full game and invested all my emotions in such a cute and interesting story and it ended so fast. NEED MORE
Did I play the demo and was satisfied there? Yes! Did I spend the money on the full thing, knowing I needed it for later? Yes! Do I regret it? No... no I don't, best game ever ;).
The game is really cute but I'm pretty sure you didn't intend it to do this (it's the demo so maybe it's already fixed in the game), just letting you know! Keep up the good work!
Oh, that's funny. I wonder when that bug appeared. I'll look into having it fixed. Thanks for letting us know.
EDIT: It does indeed seem specific to the demo. We probably just missed it when updating the demo to have voice acting.
had an issue with the gallary, when I selected it a screen with a bunch of coding text showed up and i had to restart my game to continue
Oh, that's concerning. Is that in the demo or the full version? Are you still getting it when opening the gallery? If so, could you try sending us a screenshot, so we can try to figure out the problem?
I had the same problem with the full version. I can't see the gallery anymore.
I am attaching a screenshot, I hope it will help you to solve the problem
Oh, sorry about that. I'll look into it as soon as I can and hopefully get back to you in a day or two. How far are you in the game? Have you finished it or are you only partway through?
Thank you for your prompt response. I have been playing now for about an hour. I am waiting to see the gallery.
Just to make sure, this is on the full version from Itch.io, right?
Also, if you have time, could you try clicking the "Copy Markdown" button and sending it to us either here or on the email benefitshipgame@gmail.com? You should be able to paste it with CTRL+V.
when will the sequel come out really liked it
Benefitship 2 is still in the works! It'll be a while, though. I wouldn't expect anything until the start of next year.
For what it is, the game is surprisingly high quality. Would recommend that you buy the full game
Damn, for having only played the demo I was fascinated, I hope to be able to buy the full game soon, I just came to leave a comment of satisfaction and support for you dear developers👏🏻
I'll be giving the demo a try and see what I think.
Is it fully finished
Benefitship is complete, yes - we're currently working on a sequel and a few other games.

I wish I could give you something more certain, but since all the art is done by one person, we're generally subject to his schedule.
In the mean time, we're releasing other games with different artists. Our next fully voiced game, Born to Breed, has a free demo out now, and is expected to release within a few months.
Is there a discord i can join?
Afraid not! A lot goes into managing a Discord, and we'd rather spend that time making games. If you want to be notified of updates and such, I recommend following our Twitter, @benefitshipgame.
is there by any chances have a "last" update?
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean. Benefitship is effectively complete - we're working on a sequel right now.
i mean as new scenes or smt like that, so its done?
Yeah, Benefitship is done. We're focusing our attention on Benefitship 2 and our other upcoming games.
Cute sweet story, hope the sequel has Chloe and Amy moving from friends with benefits to marriage :D
Btw devs, what exactly was the meal Amy and Chloe had in the final scene? What kind of banquet leaves the whole kitchen empty!?
Glad you liked it! I guess you'll have to wait and play the sequel - no spoilers.
As for the meal in the final scene, it wasn't exactly thought through in detail, since the meal itself wasn't plot-critical, but while writing it, I always pictured it as a kind of stew.
Not technically canon, since I might think of something else that works better for storytelling purposes, but something like this is what was in my mind.

The .exe file doesn't support joiplay on my phone. It's just crashes, i want to play the game with full quality.Is there some loss on android version? Why in all VN games the android version costs less megabytes? So I'm asking that can you make anything to make the game support joiplay?
The Android version should look and sound just as good as the desktop version. The APK is a smaller size because we compressed all the audio files to OGG instead of WAV, which is a lot smaller, and it sounds just as good. All our future games will be using OGG files on desktop as well. Most games do.
The images haven't been compressed any differently. They should look exactly the same.
As for JoiPlay, I'm not sure I can do anything about that, since it's a third-party tool, but if you're on Android, you should be able to play Benefitship with the APK at just as high a quality as on PC.
Thanks for reply. You told me exactly what I want to know. You're the best keep going
10/10 If you finish something looking for more you know its a masterpiece.
I wish there were games like this with "spicier" content but aside from that futa on female is just something i don't see nearly enough of.
I really loved the game, tho it was short. <3
Is 1.2.0 the entire game? or will you be adding more to it, like what happens in game few months later or so?
Glad you liked it!
Benefitship has actually been effectively complete from version 1.0. Versions 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 added quality-of-life features and Japanese voice acting respectively.
We're currently working on a sequel, as well as a couple of other games! You can see the other two upcoming games on https://rfh-games.itch.io/.
For more updates on Benefitship 2, you can follow our X/Twitter, @benefitshipgame.
I don't know if it would be too much to ask, but it could be translated into Portuguese in the future (I'm actually using the translator to write this, my English isn't that good).
Then learn english?
I have no arguments for that
No arguments? You mean no reason? Being able to play games, like this one and consume other media seems like a pretty good reason, and if that doesn't convince you, why are you complaining?
Suck a dick ya cunt.
he's just asking, why are you being mean? also, learning a new language is neither easy nor quick
I am telling him the solution :)
But yeah, sure, let the creator of every game make a translation to his language, THAT is quick and easy, huh? Just because he is too lazy to learn a second language (which basically everybody on the internet speaks).
Monolingualism is the illiteracy of XXI century.
it was a simple question, bud, not a demand.
And I simply gave him the solution to his problem, not assaulted him, so stop crying.
You don't need to use such aggression, you can and should try to sound more friendly to people who don't even have bad intentions.
1. You should look up what aggression means.
2. I could, but why would I? Stop being a crybaby.
Sorry, but we aren't really planning to localize to other languages.
The Japanese localization was an exception because Benefitship is loosely inspired by anime and hentai, which are traditionally in Japanese, and we thought it could be fun to have Japanese voice acting.
Localization takes time and money that we'd rather spend making more games, which is our main focus right now.
We appreciate the interest, though!
Thanks for answering, this game looks amazing, I'm going to play it anyway I just asked out of curiosity
Great art and a cute story though I wish it was longer
Love it, keep it up
Really enjoyed this. Do you have an e-mail address? I'd like to share some longer thoughts but I would prefer them to be private.
Hey, we're glad you liked it! We'd be happy to hear your thoughts - feel free to write to us directly on benefitshipgame@gmail.com
I'll play this game when the android version of this game is more developed I'll be patient
I do not know if it's me but it does not let me start the game because my windows tells me that the game is malicious and will not let me start it please someone could help me.
Hey, sorry you're having issues. I haven't heard of anybody encountering that with us before.
If it's Windows security, you should be able to click "More Info" and then "Run Anyway."
If it's something else - like an anti-malware software such as Malwarebytes - you'll either have to temporarily disable said software or whitelist Benefitship. Unfortunately, that sort of thing is program-specific; You can probably find a tutorial on YouTube.
I almost forgot to thank you for the help. I'm somewhat new to using Windows and I didn't know I could run the program even if that blue screen appeared and sorry for answering you until now.
No worries. Hope you got it to work!
just press more info and it will give the option to download it.
