As one of the three people who played their first game game, Unraveling Angel- yeah, I'm with you. They published that one under the name egodismantler, and while it shared lots of subject matter with this game, the execution and intent was the complete opposite. That game very much felt like you being unsettled was the point, and that it was slowly building to a bigger message, but the game was never finished. Going off of that and their recent rebrand, I can only assume that they had some bigger artistic inspirations at first, but the lack of success (I found almost no discussion of Unraveling Angel anywhere, genuinely feels like the only person who remembers it) made them pivot to these heavily monetized, DLC ridden "femboy" games (just found out they made one before this called Femboy Propaganda, and their next release is called Femboy Detective). I'll even speculate that including those realistic depictions of abuse in whats otherwise seemingly mindless porn might be motivated by a bit of cynical spite- I hesitate to say its artistry slipping in, because putting a paid DLC gallery in your game would contradict that heavily.
Imma keep it a buck, this dev has always been a strange fascination of mine, and I think this turn in their games is somehow both super disappointing but also morbidly compelling. Idk I might just be writing fan fiction, I'm just hesitant to believe someone capable of putting out good art like UA would drop something like... this. I haven't played Femboy Propaganda yet, but I'm definitely planning to, I want to see if anything new can be gleamed from it.
