"Papa and mama (say I) can't go out today..."

The hell is going on in this scene? :eek:

"Mommy and Daddy aren't home today."
It is stereotypical 'stay at my place' wheedling from creepy seinen literature.

I like the main characters design. Those glasses seem like the kind of thing that would be on an iconic character.
 
This post just convinces me Japan is doing something right.

Of course it did, it's a terrible comparison. The first group just ends up looking like a bunch of sweaty chumps with nothing to show but a sense of self-satisfaction, with varying levels of justification. The second group is pulling wicked sweet tricks, and they never really went that high to begin with, so their downhill slide isn't even that dramatic. I'd be insulted by that comparison if I were in the first group, to be honest.
 
I don't know, if I wanted a self aware game about otaku culture I'd want a video game version of Welcome to NHK. But whatever floats your masochistic boat.
 
Except for the typical pandering, which make the game enter into inception mode, I don't see anything really wrong with this...I'd say is better than most software out there. AT least it has a powerful lead female...

GOTY. Die pervert scum.

Edit: Haha this is actually sort of fun. Cute outfits.

Made it to the boss but ran out of tickets to continue fighting, so I have to wait for a recharge, assuming it's time based anyway. You can refill them through IAP or get free ones by doing things like watching commercials. Interesting.

IAP are microtransactions, right?

People get to beat up the image of themselves that thru want to never admit to being with the validation they're helping the object of their desire. It'll be a hit.

Thought this was going to be some game about empowerment. The woman getting the upper-hand in the common hentai pervert scenario. Instead the men are still getting the satisfaction they want even when she gets to beat the shit out of them? Weird

The West continues to slowly make gains on the large mountain of inclusiveness in videogames. More often is consideration being given to how females and minorities are portrayed in games. Greater care is taken to not marginalize certain demographics. We're seeing more intricate emotional storylines in proportion to how much more popular games are becoming and their rising prominence as a legitimate storytelling device.

Awesome art style. Reminds me of Masaaki Yuasa. I don't know how anyone can think this game is pandering to perverts when it's quite obviously making fun of them.
