Normally I avoid linear games but I'm glad I made an exception for this one. Chapter 1 was great.
Regarding the corruption aspect, it is true that chapter 2 and like a third of chapter 1 are written in a way that makes it look like the main character is doing it willingly, but I think it's possible to reach chapter 2 while playing with a reluctant mindset. First, you do need to be willing up to the point where you attach the leash to your collar. The interaction was still relatively vanilla to that point (no hard pain and fresh illusion it's going to be just "harmless fun') so clipping the leash can be seen as an acceptable risk from the girl's perspective. But then the guy shocks her and the fear factor should instantly kick in, meaning everything she does next can be justified with fear, including signing the contract. I mean, when she signs it, she's still leashed and kneeling with her legs tied up, in front of two men who just raped her. If I remember correctly the narrator even points out her doubts about the consequences of refusing to sign the contract.
Still, I do admit that there are multiple instances in chapter 1 where the narrator mentions the main character's conflicted thoughts about at least part of her mind enjoying what's happening to her. So yeah, I agree that the game makes it look like Jessica is enjoying her plight, but I still think the parts of the game that are in player's control allow them to roleplay as a reluctant character.
