Normal I can handle shit but some of these scenes were deep.
This was the first game I tried a "dark path" when it involves my MC doing these things to the girls. After the Nicki scene that was enough for me that I just cant do it without ctrl skip lol. I have no issue if it was someone else doing just not my MC.

I'll hide Viola's example behind a spoiler (dug through the code because no way I'm looking at those images):
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
If anyone had the stomach to read the spoiler you'd realize there isn't any kind of punishment Guy could experience that would atone for his psychopathic behavior. Chemical castration is the bare minimum he should have to suffer from.
the best part is how Guy throws couple of dollar bills on her unconscious body before moving on. its little details like these which make the game great imo.

Stomach...oh please...it's a story, I've read far worse in published novels by well known authors. it would be different if you reading the real life story of an actual person. That's horrifying.

Not only had the stomach to read it but played all the dark paths to their max. I just don't constantly go on and on and on and on about it all the damn time like some folk do.

Can someone post some pictures from the dark path? I don't want to play this path myself but a quick look shouldn't kill anyone.

the weird thing for me is I can stomach alot darker and gory things in regular video games , tv and movies but when it comes to this game it's too much for me. I think it's because of the facial expressions and emotions on the girls. In other forms of media I rarely see the facial expressions and emotions unless it's a movie or something but even then, the images of the emotions and expressions hit me way harder in this one for whatever reason.

As i mentioned, rape in this game is rape indeed, no dumb JVN crap, no cheesy ridicolous 'rape her, she'll like it' and so. Rape is monstrous and has monstrous conseguences as it is supposed to be here.

It is just about empathy and how it is easier to be triggered.
Reading books or watching movie is like someone else's horrible shit. The author write it. In this game, or other VN, you are the one making the choice. It is not just a story. You choose to hurt someone. That makes it easier for us to have empathy. Making a choice means you are actively participating.
Also, the description is important. You can see the girls suffering. In many video games, you kill the people and they just gone. The game does not emphasis what's their emotion, except some important characters.

It is similar in real life. Why many people are fine with eating meat, but not eating dogs and cats. Often people no longer make connection between the meat they have and the animal itself. They do not need to kill the animal themselves. They do not see how the was killed. But some people will still feel wrong if they went to a farm and played with the cows, and then later tell them the dinner is the cow they played the afternoon.

Man that scene is horrible I almost vomited the first time I saw it, completely psycho behavior.

And the scene where guy rapes ashe on a stream is even worse.

That Guy deserves the worst.
And that is one of the reasons i hope evil rapist/sociopath Guy suffers a really bad ending when Friends in Need is finished. Maybe jail time for a very long time or getting shot/stabbed in a dark alley.

I'll be honest bro I can't play the dark path in this or any other game. I get emotional quite easily.

I don't understand this game!?
I'm basically being the good guy, by r*ping everyone I possibly can, yet still no one seems to like me as a person.
Is there an issue with the code?
Tch, women are so complicated! :p

I don't understand how anyone could hurt any woman. I know, 'it's just a game', but I still can't bring myself to do it. That's just me.
Full disclosure: I play the dark route lol (prefer the other routes) But personally, all the LI's reactions are equally sad to me. I think some girls just bury their pain better, Nicki & Pepper being major examples.

It's perfectly normal to be disturbed by really dark writing, especially if you haven't been accustomed to it like probably you have. Also, it's pretty easy to imagine w/e sick thing an author has come up with in their works.. has probably happened in some form or another in the real world. :( Our species is fucked man

Not me dude. I start crying and feeling sad very easily.
sadly when I see sad things in these games where I want to cry cause how I feel for a character or whatever I never do haven't cried in years. I have came close a few times but mostly I just feel sad / bad for the character or the situation , sometimes I feel like a Witcher not gonna lie

Congratulations? Quite a weird flex IMO, but you do you.
