About In the Nest of Dominator

In the Nest of Dominator is a 2D animated side-scrolling platformer made by Dasaku Laboratory using an engine listed as Others. You play as a female protagonist in a sealed cave once used to confine demons, now visited by adventurers because valuable things may remain within. The game combines combat with exploration, and its adult content features tentacle monsters.

The current build is v1.18, released on October 19, 2023, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, is available in English, and contains censored adult material. The latest changelog notes a new file for changing the tutorial, with instructions in a folder text file. Earlier updates added tentacle monster animations, a warp item, unequip controls, gallery animation progress adjustment, prison-mode camera zoom, top-screen UI, stuck-player recovery, and bug fixes for boss fights and gamepad operation.

Developer's description

The sealed cave This is the cave where the heroes used to push in demons and seal them up so that they could not come out. In recent years, adventurers have been actively sent to the cave because there may still be something of value inside.​
