The baby both is and isn't the problem here. I applaud the fact that there is a baby in the prologue of any game that leans into the pregnancy kink. I think that makes an excellent 'Chekov's Gun' style of foreshadowing. It's brilliant for a porn game. But in that same vein, let's look at how that baby is presented: his father is a deadbeat who took off, and the baby himself is some sort of semi-human creature that lusts over tits the same way, we are told, that his father did. He is an albatross around a neck, not an innocent child of both parents.
And that would still be FINE in a game about a naive female protagonist caught in a world of dangers that teases pregnancy like a sexy risk at every turn. Except the child is black, is alien because he is black, and every other black character *or even characters who sympathize with them* is portrayed as even worse.
As for the rest of the racism in this game: it is true racism. I can't even imagine somebody pretending that it isn't without either trolling or have never met a human being who doesn't look like they do. That, also, is FINE... as long as we are all honest about what it really is. This is porn. It is fantasy. Bad things can be good here, and a lot of things we find sexy are that way BECAUSE they aren't real.
As an aside, I think we need to talk about BLM for a moment (especially since it is brought up in the game itself) to illustrate the problem with making this game 'appeal to as many people as possible'. Push what has become of the politics around BLM, and the riots of that time, aside. Politics are irrelevant to racism.
BLM means "black lives matter", and the reason it is called that is not because we need to give black people deference, or special treatment, or any of that other hogwash. It is because the alternative is that the lives of black people do NOT matter. They are 'less than'. They are alien. They aren't 'us'. The point of that may have gotten lost in the years since then, but works like this game illustrate exactly why it was called that in the first place. It is not possible to make a game that treats black people as exotic animals, that does not humanize them in the same way as every other character of lighter skin, that mocks any of those characters as race-traitors... and also have the game 'appeal to everyone'. It simply will not.
There are three ways forward with this: re-write most of the prologue to humanize the literal human beings (which would essentially re-write the game), spend a large chunk of the story explaining away why the black characters (and the BLM girl) behaved the way that they did (which I'm sure plenty of people would see as a bait-and switch), or else tell people, right up front, in big block letters, that black people are dangerous creatures in this game's universe and to bugger off if they don't agree with it. But, frankly, at this point, the tone has already been set.
