Hi, so I'm not sure if this is something that'd go in the Recommendations and Identification subforum*, but the only reason I'm not posting it there is because I'm... pretty sure the game I'm picturing just doesn't exist? At least not really in the way I'm thinking? There's plenty (or at least a decent handful) of male protag + femdom games where you're the subject of abuse from a multitude of women, but they're not quite what I have in mind. (Closest thing is maybe Degrees of Lewdity, but still not quite what I have in mind.) This is more of a thread to just (publicly) write down something that's been at the back of my mind, maybe get some discussion started, etc.
Anyways, there's this sort of "genre" that exists in games like Ayako's Scramble and Coming of Age (among others, I think Caliross, the Shapeshifter's Legacy also counts) where the main premise is something along the lines of "inexperienced or innocent female protagonist gets gradually more 'corrupted' or 'perverted' through repeated sexual situations." There's often scenarios like "main girl agrees to become the subject of photo shoots that get progressively more sexual" or "main girl starts to work at restaurant where the patrons grope at her, she puts up with it for the tips/money, uniform eventually becomes sluttier as she gets more comfortable with the sexual attention from the customers," things of that nature. These types of games have never really been my thing but I usually end up playing them because of the lesbian/dickgirl content that ends up getting mixed in amongst all the stuff like older men cheating on their wives to fuck the main girl or drunk dudes taking advantage of her exhibitionism in an alleyway.
Personally, I've always thought that a game where the genders are reversed would make for a great femdom experience. Start off as an "innocent male" and go around getting perved on by a bunch of lecherous, degenerate women. Go to work at a butler café and get your ass grabbed by a fat nerdy chick, while your manager just tells you to suck it up because you can expect a good tip. Get on the train to a different part of the city and have a tall busty woman smother you with her tits in the cramped cabin while she gropes you. Have a creepy older lady force you to give her a happy ending at the massage parlor. Basically, all of the typical things from corruption games, just with a twist.
There would be an interesting difference between the normal "girl gets corrupted" stuff and a theoretical "guy gets corrupted" reversal. Most of the former relies on the focal point of the female protagonist, because the games are made by and for straight men who want to see stuff being done to a woman... but in a theoretical reversal, the audience would still likely be straight men, so you'd have to also put more emphasis on the "girls doing stuff to the guy" like in other femdom games. Granted, I still think this would work, especially if efforts were taken to make the "horny women lusting after you" attractive while still retaining the "degrading" factor to them.
Obviously, you'd have to come up with an interesting main premise for the "reversal" to make more sense, because it's kind of easier to rationalize "innocent woman being corrupted by perverted men" than it is "innocent man being corrupted by perverted women." That being said, the former does rely on a sort of "suspension of disbelief" where you just have to accept that practically every guy you interact with is some awful horndog who can get away with what practically amounts to rape... so I don't think you'd have to try too hard to just have your players go along with the opposite.
So with all that out of the way... would there even be an audience for this kind of game? Is it one of those "untapped markets" that just hasn't been found yet? Do I need to learn at least some kind of rendering engine like Koikatsu, Honey Select 2, or even goddamn Daz and be the one to bring it into the world via RPGMaker or Ren'py? I dunno.
