I'm having trouble accessing this on mobile, sadly. I want to lay an egg in this asshole SO MUCH.

Try this direct link: https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/518956/an%20easy%20lay/index.html
It's working for me in Linux in both Chrome and Firefox, permitting scripts and css to run from that one domain.

So pleased to see this game getting noticed! This is by the same person who did Spider Atsume: https://ponderouspixel.itch.io/spider-atsume

The direct link worked for me! And I agree its head trippy to wibble over whether the egg goes in the asshole or the nice guy, like whether your happiness for a few months is worth the rest of his life gone, whether your larva even cares.

It took me like 4-5 dates until I finally got to lay my damn egg (just like real life, hah)
Great work, slutze! Thanks for posting, Sokka shot first!

Let's leave that question to the philosophy majors, shall we?

ichneumon baby light my fire …
(The garden's full of metallic mud daubers. It makes me feel bad for the spiders, but sometimes the wasp doesn't win.)

1) This is fantastic
2) These dates sound exactly like those described to me by my sister, who is not a wasp.

Strangely, this is a really appropriate follow-on to the FPP "Proof that Americans are lying about their sexual desires," just below.

Somehow porpentine didn't make this?

If it was porpentine's, I suspect there would be cupcake-hacking as well as egg-implanting.

Really appreciate all the feedback, friends! <3 I'm not super used to having my fiction in places where people can read it, but some of the feedback I've received on this is making me think I should do more writing. Thanks to everyone who took the time to play!

This was pretty great. I dated the asshole first, failed to lay any eggs, and then dated the interesting guy and (successfully) asked him to let me lay an egg in him.
Kinda like my actual dating life, well, except for the whole egg thing.
(Yes, slutze, you should do more writing :-))

I was stung by a wasp for the first time yesterday, so I'm not ready to empathize. But this was nice. I'm happy that one of them died in both timelines I tried.
