Hello, apologies in advance for the unspecific title, as it's hard to describe what I'm looking for in just a few words.
I'm looking for in essence female protagonists games with bad endings, but with some specifics.
Some of my favorites which are relatively popular are
Iris Action (kind of tame but gets an honorable mention for being my first game of this sort many years ago that blew my mind and started everything)
Night of Revenge (just a high quality game with tons of content that does everything very well)
Thornsin (like Night of Revenge but a bit more repetitive with a lot less content)
Sinisistar series (what separates these games is that the bad ends are a lot more brutal and that there are scenarios where you get captured, but can still escape)
LonaRPG (while I'm not a huge fan of the artstyle of some of the scenes, Lona is probably the most comprehensive game I've played in regards to getting captured, there is a bunch of content and getting captured is a serious detriment)
Nurtale Nesche (an incredibly unique and interesting game that just does a lot of things right for me, you start already captured, you must escape but getting captured again will add various bindings to you with actual in-game penalties, shackles, gags, blindfolds, they all affect your character and force you to make difficult decisions, probably my favorite)
Captivity (fun game with the only downside being the lack of content, it's spread out across different themes but each theme has 4 enemies at most)
Wolfs Dungeon/Fairy Fighting (two games of different genres by the same developer, what sets them aside is the amount of varied content, most enemies have their own bad end, in FF even losing to different attacks gives you different artwork)
Syahatas Bad Day (interesting game although the enemies weren't that interesting, notable exception is the spider that captures you but without any consequences)
Max the Elf (a fairly basic game in which you play a fenboy but it doesn't bother me much, stands out because of the quality artstyle and decent amount of content)
No Escape (a very good game with decent amount of content set back only slightly by it's complete devotion to the theme of latex)
These games are across different genres but with common themes being female protagonist, some form of bad ending and ideally post bad ending, some form of bondage at least in the loss scenario, and I also enjoy games that are difficult, feeling like there are actual stakes instead of basically having to let myself lose on purpose rather than actually being defeated by the game.
I've been through a bunch of games that supposedly have similar themes but nothing has really stood out for me that much, I'm open to any genre of gameplay with the caveat that a lot of these rpgm games tend to have tedious amounts of intro and way too much reading, whereas for example Lona after a boring tutorial just shoves you off the deep end and you are free to get into trouble however you wish.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope I can get some interesting recommendations. It doesn't need to have both quality high effort animations like Thornsin or Night of Revenge, and as much content as Lona or Night of Revenge again, funny enough. But ideally it will have one of the two.
