I mean, maybe I'm misremembering? But I read the summary of that thing when it first got banner ads on SA, and I definitely recall it mentioning that you could start a (presumably sexual) romantic relationship with the little girl vampire when she grows up. Also the entire premise has that weird "we're going to throw a ton of lore at you to create plausible deniability about how creepy this is" vibe.


I don’t know why, but this conversation is making me think of Twilight—probably the vampires and inappropriate age poo poo.

Just stop for a second and think how creepy the Mormon porn Twilight series is. You’ve got a vampire guy, who looks like a teenager, but is really a 110+ year old man, who obsessively pursues a 16 year old girl until he marries her and knocks her up.

My girlfriend, who was a huge fan of the novels, always gets super pissed when I bring this up.

Yeah, in Interview with a vampire the main dude was obsessed with her innocence and purity, and basically kept her like a pet... and was horrified as she grew up to be a feral one, and in some ways smarter than he is.

Yeah Hanako Games doesn't lean in on creepy, if anything it tends to treat relationship stuff as a joke in the few games that even allow it. The only title offhand I can think of with an overt "pick a partner" in it is Magical Diary.

lol what the gently caress is this post? It's good for blocking out shovelware devs and the ones that post nothing but low-effort titty games that otherwise plague your suggestion queue if you're played like, Nier Automata or something. I'm not making a moral stance here, I'm just saying it's useful to cut things out to get better search results.

The fact that that's where you first went with my post says a lot more about you than it does about me.

Rape without violence is the most common kind. A lot of people don't realize or don't consider some of that stuff rape which is why it's the focus of a lot of rape prevention courses in colleges etc. Going for enthusiastic consent instead of "well she didn't say 'No' while she was passed out drunk...", that kind of thing.

I think the issue is the wording "no violence of any kind, toward anyone." suggests the writer knows and acknowledges that the concept of 'violence' is not limited to physical-force... but that they do not consider that "rape without violence" itself is also a kind of violence

I'm pretty sure the answer is in one of the other content warnings, "Mind Control."

Also:

quote:

Some people have said this game is addictive. If you feel you are playing it too much, please take a break and go outside. Parasite Infection started as a way of sharing an erotic fantasy, and that's still the primary goal. I don't need your money that badly (although it does help - the artwork was only possible once I monetized the project). Games should be about fun, not entrapment. Yes I know how ironic it is that I'm saying this about a game literally designed around mind control, but it's what I believe.
