Hardcoded is an erotic dating simulator visual novel game developed and published by Ghosthug Games for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The game follows a droid named HC who runs away from her owners and joins the local trans community.
Lead developer Kenzie Wintermelon was initially motivated to create Hardcoded to target the cisgender futanari fetish community, and to show them that becoming trans was an option for them. She and her codeveloper Trix Royal wanted to create a game that showed positive aspects of the transgender community. Development on Hardcoded is ongoing and supported by Patreon donations.
Hardcoded has been generally well-received, with critics remarking on its positive portrayal of the transgender community and its polished writing.
