If that's the case then why does the game have a lesbian tag?
Considering its only one scene in the game.
Maybe there needs to be sub category tags where the content is present but in small amounts.

But if more granular is what you want then the site should have weighted tags.
Like major and minor ones.

Ok, must have been a bug on my end. Sorry if I came off harsh about it, I really like her character. If she'd said, "Hey, by the way, I'm a demon, wanna have sex?" I'd have said, cool, let's do it, but she turned all evil. It kinda made me sad/angry.
Other than that, the game looks great so far.
Aren't those understandable (and intentional) reactions to her revealing herself as a demon though? As a plot device, it clearly communicates that she doesn't value you past what you can do for her (at least initially), which isn't an uncommon theme in this universe.
Admittedly, it does have a distinctly different flavor than the rest of the other intimate scenes and might put some people off if they think that non-con will be predominant. Given the game's clear efforts toward story and lore depth up to that point though, I think it serves its purpose to intrigue the player long enough to meet the primary companions.
Except there are people who this kind of scene sprung on them out of nowhere would be extremely harmful. That's why we have tags, to let people know what they are getting into. I probably still wouldn't have liked it if the rape tag had been there, but I wouldn't have had the reaction I did. Imagine that for someone who had experienced it in real life?

The thing to remember with tags is that they are more for advertisement than warning (though they can certainly be used as such). And as someone who likes non-con in any form in their porn games, that scene didn't even register as anything that would warrant that type of tag. A little forced, to be sure, but if I was looking for the rape tag specifically and this is all the game had, I would be extremely disappointed. On the flip side, if someone was trying to avoid the tag and it was applied to the game for that one scene, then a lot of people would miss this gem of a game because they'd think the game would have heavy themes of rape.
MrCrazy brought up a good point in the major/minor tag system, but I feel like that could bloat the tag system way out of proportion with all the changes to the tag UI. The only solution I can think of is requesting another tag like "light non-con" or something similar.
As always, when you're downloading porn games from a pirate site, you're kind of rolling the dice on what you get when you press download.
You make a fair point, though I also think a tagging system needs to have some flexibility to remain useful. Regarding the written rules (which do currently infer that a fetish needs to be predominant to be tagged), the current tags seem appropriate. I also think most people use tags to filter for games with certain themes, which would be misleading in this case.
Compared to games that have that tag on f95, the single scene with Lady wolf is incredibly tame (there is no violence involved beyond restraint, and the non-con is genuinely arguable by the end). The game's more violent themes are also made abundantly clear through the combat before that point, which I hope would give some warning to someone with that history playing an adult game. Maybe a good compromise would be to add a warning to the OP for that first scene? I still think that might be unnecessary, but given the game's massive reach and appeal, it isn't unreasonable to think that might cause others grief.
I hope that scene didn't sour the rest of the game for you, as the companion relationships are some of the most genuinely satisfying I have seen in games. I genuinely wish Hiho could be a party member in a game like Baldur's gate 3.
That moment when someone responds to a post just before you, saying the exact same things but better worded, but just late enough that it doesn't load until you finish writing your own response.
Yeah well I know some survivors of abuse, overall, I think it's... kind of a bad choice as first ( potential ) sex scene?
It's prolly partly due to the dev team being less experienced with entry and gameflow in video games back then, but.. I dunno, maybe it's time to change the beginning a bit, put that scene waaaaay back, or make it VERY CLEARLY avoidable ( Without stabbing ), anything, really.
Just think it's a very unlucky scene to be pretty much the first thing you see.
Or you could add mild tags in the actual game description in the OP, like "Beware, there may be some ( avoidable ) not entirely consensual scenes in this game".

I do agree with this person despite my previous post on this specific issue. At that point it's not really about tags but about content warning that could potentially bother some people who have already had difficult lives.
Which is an entirely different (and valid) issue.

I don't think you could push back the scene. The allure of the interaction is that the main character is being sexually taken advantage of by someone he thought he could trust. If you're already aware of what Lady Wolf is, then it loses a lot of impact, and the developer did give a way out if the situation wasn't your cup of tea. It's an important scene since it sets up the starting plot and "antagonist" (or primary love interest, if you're like me). And putting a warning for a one-off scene (that has an out) can lead to the same problem as the tag situation. Or having something pop up right before the scene to inform you of the incoming situation would ruin the twist.
The big thing to note is that they do give you an out. If stabbing your would-be assailant is also too much for you, then the game might be a bit too dark on the whole for your tastes. While almost all the other sexual interactions are (mostly) sweet, the tone of the story is filled with violence, deceit, and the price of war.
I understand where you're coming from. But all alternative situations might give people the wrong idea of the game or ruin any twists. It sounds like this might be a deal-breaker for you (and that's completely ok; not every game is for every person). We've all had games that tickled our fancy, only to not be what we were looking for. The only thing you can really do in that situation is move on and try to find something else that aligns more with your taste.

Look, I'm sorry, I know this is a porn site... but if a story needs potential sexual abuse / rape to "get a point across", it's just bad writing. I know rape as part of "intricate stories" is all the rage ever since Game of Thrones, but come the fuck on, you can write a good story and get your points and atmosphere across without RAPE.
Yeah, I know this game CERTAINLY isn't the worst offender in this department, but really, "bUt wE nEeD pOtEnTiAl rApE tO dRiVe hOmE oUr pOiNt" as excuse NOT to possibly rework a, in comparison to pretty much all other scenes, questionable scene? Rape as plot twist? Yeahno.
Nope. I mean you can use that argument, sure, but I won't buy it, and I'd insist it's just shit writing ( Especially when comparing it to some of the well written wholesomeness ). Not that I need to. I can't force anyone do to anything anyway.

I mean, I guess that means we're just a shittily written game then. I'm willing to accept that before censorship of what we can or cannot write, thematically, narrative elements, etc.
Yeah right, disregard -everything- I said and just focus on that one bit that hurt your feelings.
Completely deny even the slightest possibility that the first writing your team has done might NOT have been their best, and has since improved.
Deny even the slightest possibility that someone, at some point, wanted an extra edgy and dramatic intro for the attention, or had a lack of better ideas than rape.
I've mentioned that other content is well written in the same fucking post.
Violence, torture, mature content in general doesn't equal bad writing. But some things do. And the general trend of adding -some- kind of rape or at least suggested rape because otherwise your series, film or game isn't dark enough, is definitely.... questionable to say the least, and not a testament to quality writing.
But honestly completely disregarding any constructive criticsm or suggestions in the last dozen posts in this thread as a developer and deciding to be butthurt about a specific part of it is kind of a weak move.
But be like that if it helps you cope, go ahead, knock yourself out.

SO I am a bit confused, do I need the walkthrough if I don't have the full game? I was following quest in order but the 2nd quest after the prologue requires a quest that is patron only.
