I mean...you have the women getting locked into cages. You have them get electrocuted. You have Harper getting water dipped. You have one of them getting bound into a contraption to get bukkaked (is that a verb?
) on...Isn't one of the core themes the exploration of sadism and desire and its effects on the people involved?
Sure, but I never think of the game as targeting that niche. It's more "yeah, Kat WOULD tie the girls up right here" rather than "let's satisfy a kink." Doesn't really make a difference from a player's perspective, other than like you said, we're not really that hardcore of a game for the type of people who would specifically seek them out. I was just noting how incidental it felt to me in lieu of Johnny's criticism.I mean...you have the women getting locked into cages. You have them get electrocuted.

It's not super hardcore as far as BDSM goes, but it is definitely there.
I would think from a quality point of view that would be the better way of writing the game anyway. Not thinking so much about "what tags do I need to fulfill" but instead "how can I write a coherent, logical and interesting story" and just take whatever tag ends up being part of that story.
I have to agree with you on that, most of the time it's fucking unrealistic how incest games are done... but I do on occasion read some incest stories, and some of them are great, I just wish those stories could be "translated" into an AVN format, but that's highly unlikely for many reasons.
Of course, that's preferable. I was just calling for an honest look and reflection of what indeed represents the majority of gameplay.
Like anything, it can be done.
Everybody who went on the Hana GF path only to immediately cheat on her with Mina right now:
Wait...is she calling Edwin in this? Is this like the first glimpse of her...actually getting somewhat emotionally involved with him?
Is Veronica seriously giving the "I had a great time last night" call? They were just together, so I'm not seeing a reason beyond that to call. They don't have any club business for at least the next day. If she was having regrets, she wouldn't call him until at least 2 days after the date. Edwin doesn't have anything to call her about except to ask for help, but the only thing he would need help with is the Darius business, and I highly doubt he would ring her into that at this juncture.
That's what I meant. If the Carnations are really meant to become LIs, they have to start getting emotionally attached to Edwin at some point. So maybe that is the first glimpse of that happening to Veronica?
Maybe it's just that I'm not interested in her, so I haven't seen her deeper self, but I felt that of all the things Veronica is, that she was positively NOT the type of woman to call her short-term lover the day following a one-night stand, especially a man. Instead, she herself would dress down and degrade any woman who did call, accusing them of having no self-respect, regardless of the woman's feelings for her partner.
Very interesting things might happen after the exhibition.
Every single one of the Carnations is an emotionally isolated woman, vulnerable. Hell if they weren't, they probably wouldn't be carnations in the first place. So they all have an emotional wall or outward persona they project to separate their true selves, like a hard chocolate coating. Getting to the soft nougat and caramel center of each girl is half the fun. Veronica is no different, and I quite like the tootsie roll at the center of her tootsie pop because she has the thickest candy shell of them all and you only get short glimpses of what lies beneath that shell.
A lot in PC is about duplicity or two-facedness of people. Veronica seems to be very stoic, very sure of her self and very strong in more ways than one. But a lot of that is a facade she tries to keep up. Depending on your choices there have been multiple scenes in which it becomes clear, that she is full of (self-) doubt, that she is very lonely, that she is very afraid to lose the last thing she has (her gym) and that she might start to think that Rosalind actually has a better reason to win the competition than she has.
O-oh no! They’re going to be so pissed at my cheating Edwin! I sure hope they don’t claim their revenge by having hot lesbian sex with each other, that would be horrible!
Do you guys think Mina would secretly expose Edwin in this case?
