Thing is, we know just one thing - nothing else - and that one thing is: there will be no deaths (if we're to believe DPC).
What we know it won't happen are NTR and incest - cause those are "no-no" things for DPC (again, if we can believe him).

Everything else is a possibility. And we're going back to that question without an answer: "What DPC considers dark/unsettling enough to warrant those warnings on the start screen?"
It's funny that NTR, if used in the correct way, as in a way to cause drama, desperation, jealousy and depression, is a huge dark element that can cause people to cry. It is done in some Japanese visual novels, but it has never been done right in any Western story.

I remember playing Boku no Kanojo wa Gatenkei (a Japanese visual novel) and crying during the sex scenes, instead of fapping to them. After finishing it, I spent almost a month without playing anything new because of how deep it impacted me. Also, in Japan, when it was released, it was reported that more than one hundred players started a mental treatment because they got into depression after playing it.

I really don't see the huge issue people have with NTR and characters' death. They can make for good story elements. I'm liking BADIK, I loved AL and I just want to see the story DPC wants to tell. So far, I'm very satisfied with what he has done and I'm happy to support him.

Drugs probably. If Sage or Maya or someone else likeable is an addict and have to struggle with that, it would be pretty damn dark.

And I don't mean Tommy, I don't like him. However, Quinn is already a prostitute and an addict.
And if the mob is involved with their lack of money, there may not be on-screen rape, but there could be a Quinn (or Camila or the Asian girl) beaten up and bleeding with rape either implied or mentioned.

The reason I am considering to continue the playthrough with Quinn's threesome is that I believe they would really need that money or they will be in deep shit. But what if Maya or a "better than a drug dealing prostitute" girl needs that money?
Or what if the MC's father has an accident and needs the money and badly?
We will see...
I mean it's possible. Riona worded their situation in a way that made it seem as though they have to meet a certain demand. However I don't know if introducing things like the mob is the direction DPC wants to take the story in. It is possible so we'll see.

I don't really have a problem with the death thingy but what's the point of it if it's predictable ?? AL was so good that i almost cried that one of the characters died but if it becomes a regular thing in DPC games it'd lose it's light and what makes it different than other games you know.

Well, there are drugs, prostitutes and Isabella's husband that is in prison.
The mob is already in the story.

Exactly unless he wants to become the George RR Martin of the adult games and just keep killing his characters off it will be every time he makes a new game oh who dies this time

Oh, yeah. Predictable deaths usually are disappointing. The funny thing is that DPC already stated the same thing won't happen at BADIK, so it is making people curious about what is going to happen. Something most people would predict based on his last game (death - or at least, killing) is already a no go.

I'm betting on character's going through desperation, depression and mental breakdown. This is something that can hit really close to home. As someone that have gone through depression after losing my mother and still taking some antidepressant pills, I know how it can affect people.

The thing I don't like about DPC is what I feel like is the overuse of cliffhangers. Almost all his versions end with a cliffhanger. Cliffhangers are good when done right, overused, they can become pretty boring.

I am genuinely want to know what kind of shit are you jacking off to.
I'm just not as sensitive as a lot of people on the fourms. you wanna kill a character? kill them its your story. you want to make a character to fuck your wife if the MC didn't treat her right then do it. if you want to let a character get raped to add some depth and tension to the characters to prevail and beat the antagonist fucking do it. Would you really watch a movie or tv show if you knew the good guys come out on top? i wouldn't. I love it when the good guys can actually loose because it flips expectations on their head. and that's far more interesting and engaging. Say for example someone ends up getting raped (god forbid) i want to see the act because it will drive us more to get revenge and make it much more satisfying when we achieve it. It won't happen in this game though because creativity is blocked by the threat of loosing support which sucks but i still enjoy the game regardless. :)

Sorry for your lose and i really hope you get fully healed of depression cuz it really fucking sucks.

The cliffhangers really are annoying yeah especially when characters are talking and they are cut off mid conversation like DPC stop it pls :LOL:.

Depends on the character but I don't really like violence towards women especially the fire in AL and Stella in DA and Lunas back story in De Luca was hard to go through because it was all violence towards women the fire not so much but I guess Leah was still nuts.

I like very lil about last few pages
I don`t recall DPC saying there will be anything dark in this game,I do remember him saying there`s gonna be some drama(which already is present)but nothing as heavy as AL and some of those dark scenarios here are much much heavier than anything AL had to offer.
Just relax,have a laugh,chill your titts and cool your balls,as they say.

well true, some people came here for stories, some for jerking off.
I prefer both. For me the sex content is just a side rewards that comes after the satisfying plot.
If you seeing the games like what I did, you will expect some of the games are just trash and sensitive people is just the kind of people that skipping story for scene.
and tbh not all the games in here can be referred as true "adult game" like example: De Luca
