TLDR Review:
Misfits is a game about a group of guys that decide to corrupt their classmates so they can finally have sex. They do this under the premise that they will all share the girls. The premise is interesting, most of the sex scenes are hot and competently set up and narrated, the writing is good and the characters interesting. I think this could easily be a 4 or 5 but issues with the MC and the understanding of the sharing and cuckolding fetishes make me downgrade this to a 3. It is still definitely worth your time to check.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Longer review, contains spoilers:
As mentioned, the set up for Misfits is that 4 friends, losers in their school, decide to lose their virginities by corrupting their classmates and sharing them amongst themselves so they can finally have sex.
The game has characters that are interesting enough, including the models that are varied and different from many other games.
The setup for most sex scenes is good enough and the good writing carries the game and makes it definitely worth checking.
Why do I think that this deserves only a 3 and not a 4 or 5? My main issues are linked with each other:
1.- Sharing is not cuckolding:
I think that doing sharing is very difficult, I have found some games that do, but most really do cuckolding, which is a different kink. To me, the main difference is based around power dynamics. Sharing is based around you having power and control and deciding, willingly, to share something that is yours (in this case, a sexual partner) with someone else. Cuckolding is based around someone else taking that from you, against your will, either with your knowledge or without it.
In sharing you are an active subject, in cuckolding you are a passive object.
2.- The disempowered MC:
As mentioned, this is linked to the point above. You play a guy that reluctantly agrees to the sharing schemes of his friends, from that point on, you are forced onto a relationship with a girl, and then everyone in the village wants to fuck her, grope her, abuse her, and you are relegated to a wimp, a voyeur at best, and a cuckold at worst. His inner monologue is that of disempowerment, he doesn't like what is going on, but can't stop it. He doesn't want to share, he wants the girl for himself but she is more or less willingly cheating on him.
I hated all of that, I had to continuously disassociate myself from the MC in order to keep playing, and the actions of himself and the girls (in particular his girlfriend) made me resent the LIs and insult them repeatedly in my head, making me not care about the abuse they are going through.
I am a fan of the sharing fetish, and I do not want to kink shame those that like cuckolding, but to me, I want to be in control and have the power. Lets see how this would be for example in a scene that is repeated several times in the game, some molesters in the bus:
Your girlfriend gets progressively groped more boldly by one and then several men in the bus, in front of you. In the game, she tries to hide it while standing the abuse, you notice what is going on but do nothing other than your pathetic self monologue of not liking it but wanting to see if this corrupts her more.
How would I prefer this scene in a proper sharing path? I would make the MC an active participant, as he notices the interest of the other men, he could start kissing her, then lifting her skirt, inviting the other men to touch her, he sets the boundaries, he is in control, she surrenders to him and lets him control what the other men are allowed to do or not. He is empowered.
This same disempowerment is present on all his relationships, in particular his step father is a scumbag that calls him dickless in front of others and that tells him openly he is going to fuck his girlfriend. Now, the MC has seen his step father cheating on his mother and he does nothing.... we should be given the option to take pictures of his cheating and then threaten him to back off or we would tell the mother, we should also be allowed to then share the GF with him in the same empowered way I mentioned before, with the MC setting the pace and the boundaries.
All in all, I am not against the current cuckolding path in the game, if that is what some people wants, all the better for them, but there should be alternatives for more empowered MCs that actually want to share their GF but being in control.
3.- The girls:
I really like the girls, however I ended up hating them.
Clara: your main LI and the MC's GF. She cheats on him, there's nothing you can do to stop that, she is hanged up on Gordon, one of the assholes in the school and she wants to get revenge on him by having him lust after her and then reject him (except she doesn't reject him....) . I just couldn't respect her and just wanted to throw her to the wolves and have the school run a train on her, however the game doesn't even allow me to have an inner monologue that is not pathetic and wimpy....
Amy: similar to Clara, she is this supposedly perfect girl that your whole group of friends is lusting after, there is no way to save her from giving her virginity to a total scumbag and then him having his two other friends fuck her. You can just watch but can't save her from her stupid decisions. Once I realised I couldn't save her and that she is just then a mindless idiot that will give it to anyone that gives her a minimum of attention I lost all respect for her and just wanted her to get fucked.
Betsy: she is spunky and with personality and, unlike the other two, she is slutty and assumes it, I really liked her and to be honest liked her way of acting the best of the three.
All through the game there are other minor characters that you can't influence or control either, no matter the choices. It always becomes a game of trying to stop the girls from being taken advantage of by other guys, while you are relegated to the role of disempowered voyeur, even though you have things to stop Sebastian (one of the assholes) from doing anything by threatening him to reveal his relationship with a teacher, or the school headmaster could be controlled by blackmail or by "pimping" girls to her... but no, you are just a passive wimp.
There is a lot of wasted potential for a proper sharing game, as it is, this is more focused on cuckolding. A pity.
