The Hive is an adult Ren'Py game by Pieceofsoap, presented with 2D CG art. It plays as a sandbox adventure with RPG elements, following a female protagonist in a dystopian setting. The story begins when she wakes after her first incident with a disease that causes mental regression. You explore the colourful hive, learn its changing rules, and deal with corruption and the consequences of her condition.
The current build is v2.2, dated October 9, 2026. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is in English, and is uncensored. The v2.2 update continues the demo with no new classroom or afternoon scenes, but adds complete June evening scenes at Reset Levels 0 and 1, plus four finished CGs. Players can choose the day and underwear, affecting some dialogue, and open all choices once June has met the teachers or after the first school day. Because evening segments can break the game, save before testing combinations.
Developer's description
Enter the world where, people can catch a disease which cause mental regression, step into the shoes of one such person, from the moment she wakes up after her first incident, and explore the vividly colourful world of the hive, while learning the new rules for you aswell as everyone else.
v2.2
It doesn't contain any new classroom or afternoon segments, but you can check out the full evening segments for June at Reset Levels 0 and 1. And there are a lot of interesting things to see if June is at Reset Level 1!
You can also choose what day it is and what underwear she wears, which has some influence on the dialogues.
You can access and choose all the options you want after the day when June meets all the teachers, or after the first day of school.
The evening segments can be game-breaking, so you should save before testing them out! This way you can also test different combinations!
There are also 4 new CGIs that are finished
v2.1
New and updated content in this demo
Ms. Topaz now has a pose wearing a breastfeeding bra when she first meets June.
A bunch of CGs have been updated and are now in full color.
The second afternoon segment with Lola
has been added. It's a pretty big segment, and I hope you'll enjoy it!
IMPORTANT
: To unlock the new afternoon segment with Lola, you need to spend the morning in the squirrel classroom and team up with her.
v2.0
New and updated content in this demo
New clickable elements in the school hallway (Sucess Story panel).
Music has been rebalanced in previous segments (Days 1 and 2), where it was too loud.
New poses have been added for Ms. Sato.
New progression menu (final version).
A full afternoon segment with Maddie
has been added. This is the first of two afternoon segments planned for Day 3, before moving on to the next day.
There was a thin pixel line around some idle images of various items, which interfered with the idle/hover state of on-screen elements. Essentially, it would trigger hover states when the cursor got close to the edge of the screen. This issue should now be fully resolved.
v1.9
New clickable elements in the Squirrel Classroom.
New little graphic animation when June get a good answer in the Giraffe class quizz.
After the Lola recess segment, Lola accompanies June to the potty, no matter which teacher is chosen.
The rest of the Squirrel Classroom segment (after recess but before lunch) is complete.
The first three CGs are completed.
Two new backgrounds are accessible (still in sketch form) for the cafeteria and are fully integrated.
The cafeteria segments are complete; you can talk to all characters.
Three secret lunch scenes are available if you click on either Ms. Sharpe, the highchair, or the baby rocker three times during lunchtime.
Sounds now play automatically when characters enter or leave the screen.
v1.8
All school backgrounds are complete.
Giraffe’s classroom (first morning) is available.
Squirrel’s classroom is available (up until recess).
Maddie’s recess interaction now has its conclusion.
Potty scenes and potential accidents are available, depending on which teacher you go with, or if you refuse help too many times.
Lola’s recess interaction is available (to its conclusion, but the game jumps to the end of the demo afterward).
The new menu that tracks June’s underwear, compliance, and Reset is integrated (and revamped twice!).
Compliance variable has been implemented (45 points total).
Many UI and sound design fixes (adjusted buttons, new sounds, replaced the old top menu bar with June’s menu, etc.).
Additional points for the second variable of each character (about 20).
Some music has been toned down, but I still need to go back and balance the rest.
Background color tweaks (mostly on new ones; old backgrounds remain unchanged).

Echoing a previous reviewer that although I am not really interested in ABDL generally I still really enjoyed this game due to the care put into the art / story and found that I wasn't skipping content, even the diaper…
Amechan762026-02-23★★★★★
ABDL Game, actually fun and silly, played it when I was bored. Took 3 hours to finish without skipping over text. Played Version 1.9, game is still in the works. Choices don't really matter in this version, there's no finished…
onedashwon2026-02-16★★★★★
Fantastic art and dialogue. Really impressed by the quality. Hoping the game continues to get updated regularly, even though it's not finished yet there's still a good chunk of content. Thank you Pieceofsoap for all your hard work!
