Telika: It's not a "new game". There are a lot of new games I'm not interested in for many reasons, but are always worth checking out, in a "hey, a new game, what is it about" way. But when a new title is announced and you get rickrolled into a porn VN, it simply feels like entering another shop.
I'm not even going to bother reading the rest of your post, because you've already started off with statements that are completely wrong.
It actually is a game, and RPG at that. Where exactly you're getting the idea that this is a Visual Novel I have no idea. There was a Visual Novel adult game that release yesterday, so maybe you're in the wrong thread?
And again, just because you don't like something that doesn't mean it's any less of a game. It still deserves the same treatment as any other game release thread does. GOG owes that much to their business partners who're releasing software on its store.
i_ni: What adult content actually???
Why are there no specifics on what the "mature themes and graphic images" are? Am I expected to buy and play the game, to find it out? That's not effective ...
I'd suggest GoG to be more explicit on the tag of "adult content" to save GoG's customer's time and/or picque their interest up. It'd result in better customer experience and likely better sales. Or at least give better pointers, be it a post in the game's GoG forum?
The game is technically censored until you "opt in" and choose to download the free Unrated DLC on the store page.
As for what specific mature themes and imagery is in the game, well, you'll should already have an idea of what it is. It's going to be explicit sexual imagery.
Are you really suggesting that GOG should be listing the specfic fetishes, genres, and scenarios that are present in the game?
Darvond: Eh, not really. While I have no quarry or quarter* with the releases, even the most sleazy video store bothered to put up some clear marker that you were going to enter the adult section.
As Telika mentions, this game puts a different image to mind than
yet another budget looking Kagura Games publication with
absurdly massive baps. (We have over 20 now.) There are no early Christians and none of them appear to be rebelling. (Plus, can't GOG throw us buttock lovers a bone and give us something with Riendonut sized backspaces?)
*Okay, so they do look a bit like free porn games I'd have found on Newgrounds in 2004...you know, the kind the Retsupurae channel covered, because they were shoddily made, brainless, and pointless.
The thing is that there's literally no adult content being depicted on GOG's store "shelves". So the whole idea that these games should be "sectioned off" is absurd. There's no nudity, nothing depicted on the store pages or even the Unrated DLC pages. You guys are just being overdramatic and acting outraged about games (yes, games) being on GOG you don't like.
It's actually a really nice for an RPG Maker game. I've been playing it for the past few hours and I'm having a good time with it. Definitely not something that is low budget or low effort.
Darvond: If I had to take a
wild guess, it's probably something along the lines of your classical "Characters in Non-Consenting Scene when you lose".
I tried looking for reviews of it, but unsurprisingly none exist for it, go figure.
Then you'd be guessing wrong. Surprise, surprise. This isn't a GoR or Game over R*** game, and to be honest I'm not really a fan of those games anyways. So I wouldn't be playing it if it was.
It'd actually be categorized as a Sweet Love / Harem game. There's actually relationship points you need to earn with the characters. It's sort of like Trails of Cold Steel, if you've ever played that. You have so many points that you can use during free sections and you spend those with the girls you want and it's kind of a relationship build up. I know there'll be harem endings that the like also.
It's actually the kind of game that is good for people who don't want something real hardcore. There's a good JRPG there for people and also the relationship building aspect.
I can't say with 100% certainly that there wouldn't be a non-consensual scene somewhere, but the game is absolutely NOT created with that in mind.
