About HugSeeker
HugSeeker is a Ren'Py visual novel by UsedChip. You play a 19-year-old man seeking a hug, and the only available targets are three girls in his family who are not ordinary. The story follows his emotional hunger and poor choices as he tries to get attention through praise, sabotage, harassment, and odd philosophical talk. It uses 2D AI CG art and focuses on romance with a male protagonist.
Version 0.3 was released on September 10, 2025 for Windows, Linux, and Mac. The English, uncensored build is still in development. This update adds five extra story days and fresh character interactions, introduces the first major branching into two main routes, includes around nine new CGs, updates character sprites and revises older CGs, and adds music tracks for some scenes.
Developer's description
You're a 19-year-old boy. You want a hug. Your only available targets? Your family. Three girls, none of them normal. When the need for basic affection is treated like a nuisance, you'll have to carve your path to human contact by force. Praise, sabotage, harassment... maybe even forum-grade philosophy. A story about emotional starvation, bad ideas, and misplaced sincerity.
