I have qualms about leaving this negative review. If we leave negative reviews for things that don't match our kinks, then we're not actually reviewing the content, just saying "not my speed."
But the thing here is, I think, the game developers have misrepresented their speed, or they have weird internal conflicts over it.
They present this as a game where you're The Boss. It even uses the cliched language of Alpha Male, comparing the MC to Alexander the Great. You are likened to a conqueror, a leader, a powerful man. And yes, that hits my warm spots.
But the game is very nearly the opposite of that. From start to finish, you are dominated. You're pushed down and told what to do. You never, ever get to make the decisions. You don't ever take the lead. The voice actresses tell you to shut up, don't move, they're going to do whatever they want to you and you're just going to take it, etc., etc., etc.
In the latest update, a woman gives you an order. You have three ways to respond: one, you can reject her authority and behave dominantly; two, you can respond neutrally, and try to hide your rule-breaking from her; or three, you can submissively obey her like a good little slaveboy.
If you choose to act dominant, you lose. Game over.
If you choose to act neutral, you lose. Game over.
The only way to not get a Bad End is to do as you're told. Alexander the Great would not approve.
This is a femdom game through and through. It's not a maledom game, not a switchy game, not a polymorphously perverse game. It's just femdom.
And if the devs were clear about that with themselves, and with their representation of the game, and with the kinks they try to appeal to, that would be fine. I would NEVER leave a bad review for a femdom game just for being femdom, as I would NEVER leave a bad review for a gay male game just for being gay male. You do your thing, I'll do mine.
But that's not the case here. This is like being invited to an orgy where the invitation has pics of all the hot chicks who are planning to attend, only to arrive and find it's an all-male gay orgy.
They can do their thing with my encouragement, but if they mislead me to get me there, screw them. And I don't mean that literally.
This game is for men who like being dominated, but it tells you that you're the man who conquered the world.
Added one star for the renders.
