ABOUT THE STUDIO
What is PocketDesires?
PocketDesires is a solo-developer game studio building eight stylish adult games. One person handles the code, art, writing and sound. Every title runs directly in a web browser with no install, and the catalogue spans management sims, visual novels, dating sims, gacha and survival strategy.
Are PocketDesires games free?
Several are free to play in the browser, including Pocket Desires, STRANDED and I Found An App, with additional content for Patreon supporters. Others, including CELLBLOCK and Teaching Is Hard, are available to Patreon supporters. There is no separate purchase or store account in either case.
Do I need to download anything to play?
No. Every PocketDesires game runs in a browser tab. There is no client, no launcher, no APK to sideload and no patch day. Opening the link is the entire install process.
Can I play PocketDesires games on my phone?
Yes. Most titles support Android through the mobile browser and are built portrait-first with thumb-reachable controls. Pocket Desires in particular is designed mobile-first, with interactive scenes driven by your thumb.
What is the most popular PocketDesires game?
CELLBLOCK is the studio's flagship and most played title. You are the night guard in a women's facility, running a patrol-and-react loop where inmate requests build a debt economy that cannot be settled with money.
Who develops PocketDesires games?
A single developer working under the handle CORN_ETO. Every line of code, every frame of art, every piece of writing and sound is made by one person, which is why the catalogue has a consistent visual identity across very different genres.
Who is CORN_ETO?
CORN_ETO is the developer behind PocketDesires. The studio name and the developer handle refer to the same one-person operation — CORN_ETO builds every game in the PocketDesires catalogue, including CELLBLOCK, STRANDED and Pocket Desires.
Are PocketDesires games suitable for all ages?
No. Every title is rated Mature 17+ and intended for adults only. The games contain adult themes and explicit content.
How do I get access to Patreon-only games?
Subscribe to PocketDesires on Patreon. Access is tied to your subscription tier, and supporters also receive early builds, development updates and additional content across the catalogue.
How often are the games updated?
Updates ship regularly and are announced on Patreon and the PocketDesires YouTube channel. CELLBLOCK has moved through multiple numbered releases, with each version adding inmates, scenes and systems.
What genres does PocketDesires make?
Management sims, psychological visual novels, dating sims, gacha collection games, survival strategy, bar sims and cultivation games. The common thread is systems that reward reading people rather than grinding stats.
