The Gain Trials (v1.6.1) is a 3D-rendered experimental story by Bladerune9 where you play as a head scientist overseeing physical transformation trials on three subjects: Tracy, Sarah, and Krystal.
: Combining a hand mix with high thickness and high reaction while applying heat results in water, while a stable mix with hand mixing and low reaction creates milk. Experimental Elements : Later stages introduce enzymes like The Gain Trials -v1.6.1- By Bladerune9
What sets this version apart is the depth of its systems. Unlike many other indie projects that rely solely on tropes, Bladerune9 integrates the growth mechanics into the very fabric of the world-building. Every choice in the trials feels weighty, impacting how the world perceives the protagonist. The Gain Trials (v1

One of the hallmarks of Bladerune9’s work is the attention to sprite detail. Version 1.6.1 introduces updated "stages" for character growth. The transitions are smoother, and more equipment/outfits now reflect the character's current size, reducing the "immersion break" often found in RPG Maker games where armor remains static regardless of character model changes.
: Success depends on combining five base ingredients under specific environmental rules. If a mixture fails, the subjects may not gain weight or produce milk effectively.
The gameplay loop revolves around managing the "Trialists" through specific experimental stages. While critics on Itch.io have noted that the experience can feel linear or repetitive, the introduction of the mixing minigame adds a layer of interactivity. Players must balance specific variables—such as pressure, temperature, and reaction speed—to produce substances like amylase or milk.
