i'm just gonna say this flat out: this game feels very fetish-y and I'm standing my ground on it.
Me and my friend hopped on call and decided to play the prototype of this game. TL, DR: It's not that good. It also feels, as said before, very fetishy and the topics of rape and sexual assault were NOT handled well, no matter how hard you try to spin it. Having full on drawings of sexual assault happening to the character and literal drawings of Daniel's dick whipped out is genuinely so weird and, imho, this entire game is done in poor taste. This makes me more worried as to how the final game will be.
Now, I am not accusing the game developer of being someone rather lecherous, that isn't what I'm doing, but I'm more or so critiquing the game for its handling on these topics. Why did it have to be fully depicted? Why? why couldn't you just cut to black? Why don't you let the player fill in the gaps as to what happened instead of just drawing out the player getting raped and sexually assaulted? Just... Why? It just feels like extreme fetish content instead of a story that I could take seriously, and although it didn't feel romanticized, it still felt incredibly fetish-y no matter how hard I tried to analyze it.
In addition to that, the developer answers what his dick size is knowing well he's a rapist. What the fuck? Why would you even answer that? Nobody in real life is asking for the size of a literal criminals private area, and it further proves my point of this game possibly being fetish content instead of a story about the dangers of having a stalker. Yes, smaller parts of the story do display this, but it does NOT negate the fact that the game has literal rape scenes drawn out, and it feels like the creator didn't do enough research how to properly convey topics like these.
And also: why the literal fuck would you just list out his kinks... What the fuck.

"Oh, but the creator doesn't condone it--" Yes, I'm aware that the creator does not condone the topics. But, that does not give them a pass to draw scenes where the mc is getting assaulted and justify it by saying its a horror game. It is genuinely so weird how yall are eating this game up like its your last meal when its obviously made in somewhat poor taste. unless the developer explains the purpose of these graphic depictions, the game again feels very fetishized to me.
Although we're in the lense of the victim, I do feel like that it should've been done in better taste instead of again, drawing the assault for us to see.
