A visual novel by Flyer33. The Bulging Bellydancer is set in the Bejewelled City of Fatgrabah, a metropolis amid the Seven Deserts, famous for the beauty and skill of its exotic dancers! See the story "1001 Desert Nights" on Curvage (linked below) for a flavour of Fatgrabah. The Bulging Bellydancer follows another story featuring the gluttonous and lustful champion dancer, Kyra Shah. Who has been invited by the Sultan of Fatgrabah to compete against the pregnant bellydancing troupe accompanying a visiting Prince during his stay in Fatgrabah... Of course, Kyra isn't pregnant, so she'll just have to eat, eat, and EAT to get in the right shape for the contest! That's where you come in...
About the author: I've been a writer of WG stories for several years, and more recently I've been doing some 3D art and decided I'd love to try making a visual novel. I'm currently learning Ren'py, and hopefully I'll have a demo version later this year (say Spring/Summer 2026). Then I might start a Patreon to cover adding some more characters and settings, if people would like.
- Game length: The complete Act 1 may be 1 hour, but it's difficult to say. Speedrunning will miss things, but I will include an achievement for clearing Act 1 time-efficiently.
- Languages: English
- Measurements: Likely US customary units, that is pounds and stone; feet and inches; and US pints/gallons, which are different from imperial pints/gallons; Calories; and Farenheit for consistency though I don't think in deg-F myself. (The author has a physics degree and a quite unnecessary knowledge of unit conversions, so if the audience really wants a unit-selection dropdown menu it could happen.)
- Input Methods: Mouse
- Media: I don't know what this means. It's not the Nineties; I'm not shipping a CD.
- Tone: Eager, lavacious hotties. Mild peril. Mild ironic comedy.
- Time: Fantasy Persia, elements of 16th century but not century-accurate.
- World: Arabian Nights setting. No genies or magic carpets in Act 1.
