WATCH THE TRAILER ON X (Twitter) or BLUESKY!
Oh So Hero! is a furry sextroidvania featuring explicit encounters with a male to male focus (plus some variety). Play as Joe, an average guy on Planet Aeter who enters a tournament where everyone can fight and fornicate. All willing participants use their strength and charms to outmaneuver their opponents and get one step closer to the Emeralds of Power!
OH SO HERO! Act 1
The First Act of Oh So Hero! Aliens invade Aeter! Joe enters the tournament and travels from Sheo Islands Beach to Lood City where he encounters the large dragon, Bates!
Along the way, you'll meet a menagerie of anthropomorphic characters, and embark on a sex-filled adventure to win the mysterious alien Gerrabacco tournament being held on Joe's island!
PLATFORMER + BRAWLER + LEWDER
Joe can run, jump, punch, and do lewder things as well! Choose between strength or charms, or perhaps use a mix of both? Unique animations for every enemy depending on your style! Explore secret paths to unlock new items and find hidden friends.
DOZENS OF CHARACTERS / HUNDREDS OF ANIMATIONS
Oh So Hero! Act 1 features around 300 unique animations! These fluid, hi-res, hand-drawn, explicit animations paired with 2.5D action gameplay makes Oh So Hero! like nothing else out there! Can you make it to the top? Or will you become the bottomest of bottoms?
GALLERY MODE
Use the Gallery to view all animations encountered through gameplay (or just cheat and see them all~). You can also use the Gallery's Auto-Play Mode for background enjoyment. With over 15,000 frames of hand-drawn, high-resolution sprite animations in Act 1, there's plenty to enjoy!
Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
Oh So Hero! features cartoon violence, full frontal nudity, and explicit sexual conduct between animated characters. The game features a tournament of fighters who also engage in explicit sexual acts. This includes seduction, brawling, and hardcore male/male sex acts. All sex acts between participants are consensual, but may be sensitive for some viewers in conjunction with the fighting.

Love the game,I have an idea for a new game mode,infin-nutt,a test your skill endless mode battle,could offer some interesting three ways with enimes from difrent sections,and getting said animations from only this mode
Its a Amazing fun game all around for side scroller beatem ups and absolutely well done animations! Cant wait to see more added. If ya dont mind me throwing out some ideas id like to see in a future update hopefully. Just thinking what if enemies also could grapple onto another in lust mode, maybe futa characters to talk to or enemies for a special zone, would be cool having 2 types of three ways say if they get one down a enemy could join in on them or get one down with lust to do the same thing or a different scene. Again just some ideas all in all a Amazing game and all I can say is keep up the amazing hard work!
Hello, I have the mobile version of the game and I was wondering if there was a cheat to unlock everything on the gallery tab, some animations are a bit difficult to get for me, specially on phone.
There is a method to temporarily unlock every animation: Tap the white gradient near the bottom center of the screen three times within two seconds.
Filthy cheater XD
Hello Mr. Frog, I rarely leave comments, but your game attracts the love of men, and it is a pity that there are not many similar games on the Internet in terms of volume and quality. In general, I wish you success.😊❤️
Thank you very much, Demon Spring! Ribbit~
Is the update expected before the 15th
Update’s expected right on the 15th actually!
It's up now!
any plans on adding toy compatibility?
Yes, toy compatibility (e.g., Lovense) is something we have planned for the future, although it may take us a while to get there. In the meantime, someone has made a mod for the game you can try out! We even helped give them data to aid with their project. https://github.com/FrostedEntropy/OhSoPlugged
So,I'm trying to buy the game,but It won't take my phone number ( I use text now my phone can't call people normally) is it possible I can play this on steam on mobile Android?
Sorry this site's giving you problems. We're not particularly happy with itch.io especially after their NSFW delisting which is still ongoing. Unfortunately we don't have the Android version available on Steam. You can join up on Patreon ( https://f.ff-f.co/p ) for one month at $7 to grab the current Android build, but it doesn't come with updates unless you continue to subscribe (Patreon auto-renews by default, so you'll need to cancel otherwise). We'll be looking to provide more update-able one-time purchase options in the future, including branching out to other stores such as GOG.com. BTW, we have a new version due out within the next couple weeks, so you may want to wait for that!
Build Delay (v1.08)
Hi Everyone! We hope you enjoyed the v1.07 build we released at the end of October! We're actively working on a new build with bug fixes, controller enhancements, and improvements to the Voyeur System.
However, we're already very close to the end of the month, and since many of our QA team is based in the USA, the whole Thanksgiving weekend took up time needed for testing. To avoid slamming our team with work during holidays, we are delaying the v1.08 build to mid-December.
To be more precise, we will be moving all build releases to mid-month going forward. This will allow us to preempt big holidays that typically fall at the end of the month (e.g. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas).
We're actively planning new features as well as ramping up pre-production on Act 2. We're also integrating new people into our team to help us make this all happen more quickly. Thank you for your patience and support! Ribbit~
Hey ummm,can I play this on my android phone?I played it on my computer but I want to see if it's playable on mobile before buying
Yeah you can! When you buy the game, it gives you a ton of files like the Windows version you played, and among them are .apk files you can install on your Android phone too.
In the next update, it would be really cool if there was a transition between animations, for example, the characters making a movement to go to another animation. I don't know if that makes sense, but I think it would enhance the game.
The game looks pretty good but unfortune o cannot pay for the game l sorry:(
We will release a new free demo in 2026!
Hey! Just wanted to say i loved Act1 :D, but i was wondering, will Steam players get updates and if I have bought the game over there will I have to pay for Act 2 if it gets released?
Glad you loved Act 1! The Steam version of OSH Act 1 will be getting updates for the next several months. We have a pretty big update for it coming in a few days actually. You will have to pay for Act 2 when it is released, which will be handled as DLC on Steam, though we expect it to be of similar scope and price as Act 1. Of course, supporters on Patreon and Substar will get preview builds of Act 2 as it's developed.
I can't buy it here because I don't have PayPal but on your Patreon if I buy if for the Android $7.99 will I get the game.
I just want to be careful and cautious.
Hello! Yes, you can get the game on our Patreon, but that site works differently. You can download the latest Android build there for $7/mo, but you will only receive updates to Act 1 if you continue on a monthly basis (or if you come back later for the same price). Same goes for SubscribeStar. On the contrary, a purchase here on itch will get you future updates to Act 1 for free. We're looking into expanding into other venues such as GOG starting in 2026. So you may want to wait at least a month because we have a fairly big update for Act 1 rolling out at the end of October!
So, any update about the unity crisis? Just bought this on steam, bad timing lol.
Good question! We already have the Unity fix applied in v1.07, which we expect to have released by Halloween!
Glad to hear!
Am I the only one having a problem with the game right now my game crashes everytime I enter the dojo on the way to the city?
Hi! Sorry for the crashes. We haven't gotten any other reports like this. Do you know how much RAM your device has? If you can provide more information like operating system, game version, and error logs (if possible), we'll get it looked at: https://wiki.ohsohero.com/troubleshooting
I was playing the Mobile Version of the game so I don't know how much RAM sorry
It seems your phone is not able to handle the Dojo in it's current state. We apologize for this. It's difficult to account for the differences in power of Android devices. We will attempt to optimize the performance with continued development. For now, you may request a refund from support ( support@itch.io ).
Happens to most content creators so I won't be upset about it I'll just wait till it has been fixed or patched till then thanks for hearing what happened
Hey man. I'm stuck again. I have finished the dojo thing. I've met with the demon guy and the shaman guy as well. I have made it past the vault. What now?
If you got the Red Key Card from the vault in the Dojo, return to the Bayou, and keep proceeding right (East) through Lood City!
From the vault???? Yea there was a vault but it said "I better not touch that" or something. Is there a way to open the vault?
I made a new walkthrough page! Check it out: https://wiki.ohsohero.com/walkthrough See Step 10!
I have a problem. When I bought the game from here it wouldn't let go to the download page after i bought it? So i was hoping for a refund or something i guess anyway my cashapp is $jacorirussell6
Hi jtrussell, sorry you're having problems. itch isn't a perfect storefront. The standard procedure here is to contact itch support ( support@itch.io ). You can either ask them for a refund or try to resolve the download issue. itch doesn't provide us a record as to whether you purchased the game, so we need to be careful. However, if itch doesn't provide you support within one week, post again here and we'll try to resolve your issue ourselves. Thanks again for your purchase and patience and we'll try to get this resolved soon.
I was upset when I found out that there are girls in the game (my opinion, lol) 😔
Hello I accidentally mixed my controls up and now i don't know which is which is there any way of resetting the controls without going to the menu?
Hi! Sorry we didn't see this message before. It got caught in a comment moderation queue I had no knowledge of.
On Windows, you can reset all of your options by running a simple command on the command line:
REG DELETE “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Full Frontal Frog\Oh So Hero!” /fThis will not affect your save data or gallery data.
Alternatively, you can download this batch file, then double-click it to run it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k73lqbotqmms14e/OSH%20Reset%20Options.bat?dl=0
when will you update Free download?
We will be providing a new free public demo after our post-Act 1 release work is complete. This way the demo will include all of our newest gameplay features. This will probably happen in early 2026.
Hi everyone. Players of Oh So Hero v1.05.000/001 have discovered a progression-halting soft-lock bug in the Forbidden Bayou. As the player travels east past the entrance to Hiroto Dojo, they will encounter a spot where the camera locks in place for an enemy gauntlet, but the enemies never spawn, preventing the player from continuing the game. This bug (sometimes labelled a "regression") was likely introduced by accident while working on localization code or fixing other bugs.
We will be rolling back the live Steam build to v1.04 until we can get this issue resolved. For everyone else, you can simply download/install the v1.04 build from the previous month. Because there were no new features added with the v1.05 build, we will not be creating a hotfix. Also, we still need time to create a proper fix for this progression-halting bug. In other words, please wait for v1.06, which I plan to make available for you all by September 29th.
I'm very sorry this build was released in a broken state, especially after all of the other bugs were fixed satisfactorily. The root problem here is lack of testers for this build and lack of game coverage in the testing. As a solution, I am increasing the size of our QA team and creating an entirely new testing process to make sure each build is tested from start to finish before it ever goes out. Thank you for your patience. It's my goal to make the next build a good one!
where foxes, wolf, hyens...
We have a couple in Act 1, but we'll take your request in mind for new NPCs in Act 2!
fox. Wolf. Hyens. KNOT. :>
Why don't you make an option to be able to play with the game's enemies and NPCs, for example, being able to control Bates and have his own animations? I think it would make the game more immersive and cool, but it's just an idea that if you did I would love it.
This might be possible! It's not something we have planned to do right now because we have a lot of other stuff we gotta take care of, but the way I programmed the enemy AI could be adjusted to allow a player to control them. I'll definitely be thinking about this for a future version~
I hope this idea for this incredible game comes to fruition
Having some trouble trying to purchase the game, unsure if its related to the whole NSFW situation going on, or just a hiccup on Itch.io's end. Hopefully its resolved soon, I would love to support this :)
As far as we can tell, there should be no issues with purchasing OSH here on itch.io, but there may be some regions/countries that have imposed new regulations or restrictions. Can you provide more details? Thanks!
Getting a generic Itch.io error telling me to contact support along with a payment error code. I've shot them a message yesterday about this, and waiting for reply. Purchasing from North America. May just have to purchase this on Steam instead 🤔
Thanks for following up, Brushies! I'm sorry you're having issues. We are seeing that other people are still purchasing Oh So Hero successfully, so perhaps something is amiss with your itch account? I hope support gets back to you, but with everything happening now, it might be a wait.
If you just want the most recent version of OSH and don't need constant updates, you can join Patreon for one month and grab the latest build ($5 for PC or $7 for Android also). But ultimately itch will provide free updates for Act 1. Same for Steam!
Links to other stores here: https://ribbit.fun/
What are you guys plan on doing with this whole Itch.Io situation currently ongoing?
Nothing we can really do for now but wait and see what happens. While NSFW is de-indexed on itch.io, we still have OSH available here, as well as on Steam, Patreon, and SubscribeStar.
That's good to hear. How long can you estimate until the next act for OSH will come out and will it be available here on itch.io or will you guys not be able to do that?
It will be a few years or so to finish Act 2, but we have more people working with us now, so it's gonna be a better process. We haven't planned it out yet, so we can't give a more precise time frame right now. Right now we are focused on post-launch updates for Act 1!
I will be waiting patiently until then. I hope for nothing but luck for this project as it moves forward. Thanks for answering my questions.
i have saved some of the furry VNs in my collection. If you guys need it, go check my profile so y'all can save it because of this shadow-banned nsfw stuff
Damn, i almost couldnt find this game again. If it wasnt a something i bought previously, i wouldnt have been able to find it at all. Itch.io seems to have shadow banned anything labeled furry, monster, or anything non human, along with erotic, porn, or anything of the like.
It's cos of "Collective Shout" making payment processors ban NSFW material. Literally, I can only find THREE games in the NSFW tag now. It's a censorship nuke cos some Aussies Feminists (who refuse to believe men can be victims, btw) said "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!", Steam got hit too.
Basically, Twitter losers got their way, now we suffer for it.
It's not because of "Twitter Feminists" the real culprits are literally Mastercard and Visa. T H E Y are the one's with the true say in the matter.
They are literally conservatives, not feminists.
It's true that itch.io has deindexed NSFW games. You can read more here: https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content
This is absolutely amazing! Haha. But I really wish the bird on the awning in Lood City was someone you could talk to—he's so cute. I just didn't expect him to be part of the background. If I may ask, you spent over six years making the act1—how long do you think the act2 will take? Another five or six years?
We'll consider having more of that bird guy in the future~ I'm hoping we will be able to complete the next act sooner because we are more experienced now, and we have more people working on the project!
what happened to the public demo?
The public demo was quite old and no longer represented the quality of the game as it is now. We will create a new public demo after we make more fixes and improvements to Act 1, including localization for multiple languages.
Hey man, I'm kinda stuck. I met the turtle, and he told me to go to the cabin and meet a guy who will help me. I went there, the guy said the machines require high expertise to use. What to do now?
First you need to have collected the Book inside Cas's House (the cabin). This will allow you to do the Butt Stomp! Now, return to Treewish Forest where you encountered Goliath (the giant frog). You can use the Butt Stomp to break those large blocks there!
I'm sorry, but I'm also having trouble with the thread issue. What exactly should I do to "collect the books"? Even when I stand near the scattered books and press commands like "↓" or "z", nothing happens.
The book you need to collect isn't on the ground, it's on the right side of Cas's House and is floating and spinning and has sparkles coming off of it and you can collect it simply by touching it. It's called "Ass Masters [Limited Edition]". If you don't see it, it's possible you already collected it and forgot about it. If you go into the Pause Menu and select either Skills or Inventory, you should see it after you've collected it.
Thank you for your response! I realized that I had already collected that book. Now I can move forward with the story. Thank you so much!
Glad you can make progress now! Ribbit~
can i get the android version if i bought it through steam?
Sorry, that's not something we're able to do right now.
can someone please help me, when i open the game and try to start a new file the game is just loading for so long not oppening please help ;-;
Please make sure you are using the newest version of the game. And if the first save file is hanging for you, check to see if selecting the save file gives you an option to Erase it. If so, do so, and erase it. Otherwise select a different save slot.
Im playing v1.02 and im having trouble finding bryce, Was he removed or is he not supposed to be in yet?
Bryce was removed from the game slightly before the Act 1 v1.00 release. His animations are actively being reworked and he'll be re-introduced in a future version of Act 1. We will post a Devlog here when he's available!
Thank you so much for replying, I'm missing one entry in my gallery and figured it belonged to Bryce! I was so confused during my playthrough. I really enjoy the game though, So excited for what comes next!
Did you find who you were missing?
Found him, I just didn't jump when I should have!
Glad to hear it, and thanks for enjoying the game!
Will rumble support be added in the future... maybe even "special" rumble support for special controllers that vibrate 📳?
Yes! Haptic feedback, rumble, teledildonics, etc. is all stuff that we want to expandong in the future! I'm unsure how much will be included in Act 1, but if it's simple enough to add in the near future, it may be added there. By the way, I think Act 1 actually has some limited rumble functionality. If you do a butt stomp with a wired Xbox controller, you should feel a bit of a shake, for instance. Or did I just dream adding that in? It's been a while!
hey, I want to ask a question. if the act 2 is released, do we have to buy it separately or we can wait the progress update?
Act 2 will be sold as DLC. But Act 1 still has some updates planned. Keep an eye on the Devlog to see what's new!
Still lots of work to do.
The .zip version I grabbed for PC is displaying touchscreen/android controls in the settings menu and the actual android version still has splash screens stating:
"This is an experimental/prototype build only available to patreon subs"
(I do have a pen driven tablet hooked up to my PC. But no "touchscreen" devices)
Gotta get away from the pervasive monstrosity that is patreon. I have seen it bring more than a few devs to ruination.
Hi! Which version of the game are you running, and for what platform? (e.g., v1.02.000 Windows 64-bit) - The builds for sale here on itch should not have the "experimental/prototype build" disclaimer, so this seems odd to me. The PC version will still show touchscreen controls in the settings because it's possible to play this on a Windows tablet display, for instance. A pen tablet is probably not gonna be ideal for playing though.
The android version that still has the disclaimer is
"oh-so-hero-v1.01.000-android-arm64.apk"
I have also noticed a few other minor bugs in that specific android version but I didn't expect it to be perfect since it is a port.
Nothing totally game breaking, just some strange reactions, for example:
At one point I got stuck in a scene with the mash attack prompt, was unable to press the attack button(It just didn't do anything) and my health was not draining as it normally would. The scene played out to finish and the game returned to normal after that.
I have not tested the others much yet. But thanks for making the game! It's very good. Been letting folks in the various communities I haunt know about it. Hope act 2 and beyond goes just as well!!
Thank you for letting us know! I may have forgotten to change some of the compiler flags on the Android version and it's still showing those development screens. I have people helping with QA, but they must have overlooked this. I'll personally check the Android build myself for the v1.03 release. I know several things still need to be fixed, and I won't be able to get to everything, but I'll at least make sure we take all the problems into account (you can see what still needs to be fixed on our GitHub tracker; you can even submit bugs there yourself). Thanks for enjoying and helping us improve the game!
Oh, I just remembered this game! Looked it up and saw the full version was out—bought it without a second thought.
This CG is totally worth the price, though.
A couple of small questions:
Hi! If the graphics look blurry, try enabling High Quality Animations in the Options screen. Does that fix the issue? The work on Act 2 has only just barely started, but it will sold as DLC and will require a purchase when it's complete.
I played the demo when it was on itch, and just finished the game by beating bates. Super sexy work. Im a completionist tho and am having a hard time reaching the guy on the green awning in lood city. How do you get to him or is he just there as background set dressing
Thanks for enjoying! That bird on the awning is for display purposes only! He's got a delivery to make~
Got it thank you, I tried for life 30min to get to him. LOL
Red and I both placed those background NPCs. I tried to place them further back so it's more obvious they are non-interactible, but Red stuck that guy up on the awning and I had a feeling someone would just be trying relentlessly to fuck him to no avail. Sorry!
HAHAHA well mission success or fail however you look at it. He would have been a great fuckable npc Im sure.
i can already gusse the answer being no but...
do you think you can make a windows xp version? just curios.
The Windows 32-bit version might work on Windows XP? We don't have an XP machine and don't have any plans to get one.
Extremely well made animations and super cute character designs! I've been following this project since 2020 and I'm so happy you never abandoned this project. Looking forward to any more progress! <3
Thank you very much for the kind words!
