This question has probably been asked before. But what do you folks want within a femdom game? I'm just curious.
I prefer non-sandbox games, but if it's not too grindy I am ok with it, and I don't mind games focusing more on text (like
Boring Days), but I do dislike text only games or games where there's huge amount of text and just 1-2 pics for every scene. Which brings me to Japanese games in a way. While I am a big enthusiast of Japanese cinema (to the point that I write reviews and articles regarding the subject) I am not a fan of their porn games (tho I like pinku eiga from directors such as Hisayasu Sato or Koji Wakamatsu), mostly for the following reasons:
1. they tend to focus on girls "dominantly" making MC cum and cum and cum, to the point it all just feels like they're pleasuring him and all this "femdom" is just posturing for some additional spice.
2. they tend to have long passages of texts without much to show.
3. they tend to have an extremely limited amount of choices.
4. additionally I am not a fan of the manga/anime like visual style (that is not to say I don't like - say -
Ghost in the Shell or
Lone Wolf and a Cub).
So, in this regards, I like the opposite. (1) I like when MC is denied cumming, or when he finally does cum it's really humiliating, painful, ruined, etc. I like MC to be humiliated and degraded in various ways, beaten, spit on, etc. I have a foot fetish, so feet, socks, inside of shoes play is always welcome. I don't mind watersports, chastity cages and things like collaring, pet play, electrocuting, urethral insertions and more. I do mind, however, cuckolding, forced bi and smoking, plus I don't like pegging, strap-ons, scat, too much gore (which is simply not erotic for me, I prefer my gore in gore films or games like
Manhunt). I also love good power play, when MC is dommed by someone who is below him in the social ladder, like his secretary or maid. Dommes for me should be varied, we also need
more black dommes in games as you all know I'm sure, and I prefer them to have some depth more than them being simple sadists (I dislike the dommes in
Karlsson's Gambit for example since they're very much corporate villains destroying/exploiting the weaker no matter their gender or age).
(2) I like varied pics - animations are not necessary for me - that keep the action going on in an interesting way visually and completent the dialogues.
(3) I like choices and branching plots. Even sometimes meaningless choices add a feeling of player's agenda. It always feels better to me when I make a choice to agree for some humiliation than seeing the character doing it without my influence. I like for example Darktoz's games, in which every line of dialogue said by MC is chosen by the player. I think one of the best games in terms of branching plot is
Karlsson's Gambit here, even tho the game as a whole has some things that I really dislike.
Additionally I love when the h scenes are long and well developed and also branching. I like when I have different choices during them, thus making them feel more immersive and replayable.
(4) I prefer realistic graphics, but if they're not too childish looking I don't mind drawn pics too.
I don't really care about the settings of the story too much. Whether it's a dystopian town/school/otherworldly realm or just a more or less realistic life what I care about is interesting characters, MC that is not too well described and thus can serve as a good avatar for players to insert themselves into (and it's not a dumb
Moving Down MC) and interesting plot that makes me invested in the story but doesn't take the attention away from erotic content. It can be slow burn like
Nothing is Forever or throw me right in the middle of the action like
Second Class, but in general I prefer for the story to be smth more than just an excuse for sex scenes.
