This game is ABSOLUTELY fantastic. I cannot praise it enough. The gameplay is addicting, the relationships feel real and human, the plot is interesting, the pacing is well done. Seriously. If you haven't tried this game yet? Do. This is one of those games that should be the gold standard for Adult/Hentai games.
That being said...
Just like most games, it leans pretty heavily on a single aspect (read: kink). That doesn't make it bad, not by any means, but it *does* mean what it's not for everyone. What is the focus of this game?
Objectification, dominance, and degradation. (Oh yeah, and "yuri" but that feels like... Idk if feels wrong to call that a kink. Girls like girls, sexuality isn't a kink.)
Sure there's some pet play. There's a decent amount of BD with a spattering of SM. But it's more of a byproduct of the first 3.
So, for those of you who may not know, objectification isn't just "catcalling" or treating women poorly. Though that's unfortunately what it has been associated with in the public view for a long time. Objectification is treating someone as though they are an object. "You don't need to think, my pretty little doll" is objectification. "You know it would be easier if you just let me make all your decisions, after all, isn't your life so much better when I'm in control?" And yes the physical aspect of grabbing someone and forcing them to do something (for example, making them dance around using magic, or taking over their body to fight for them.)
(Oh, and a lot of that stuff is also tied deeply with degradation.)
That's the biggest kink in this game, so for those of us (yes I included myself. I love both sides of that dynamic the master and the toy) who like that, this game is a huge breath of fresh air in an otherwise dead and forgotten part of our lives...
For those of you who aren't into that... Well... I'd say at least give the game a chance, because yes it's that good. All the stuff I said at the beginning of this review/comment still stands. The game is just really well done.
I have no notes. Like I said, focusing on one thing doesn't make something bad. Bravo. Can't wait to see it finished.
