Very solid renders, extreme fetishes, family harem, godawful writing with an irredeemably psychotic manchild MC - that's the gist of it.
However, I do want to use this opportunity to invite whoever is reading to ask themselves this question - is placing this kind of content into a video game safe or wise?
On one hand, allowing the catharsis of pure destructive ID to rampage in a safe and consequence-free digital box, where serial abuse and violence can be indulged in without doing actual harm to real people might just safely channel such urges and showcase the utter desolation such monstrous behavior would wreak on people - and to make things clear, the protagonist here is an irredeemable monster, not an alpha male, not a hero, a monster who would have to be immediately put down if he wasn't a video game character.
On the other, does having the ability to kill a digital person and then violate their body, or repeatedly imprison and abuse such people, or (and this was where I decided to uninstall), forcibly induce abortion on a pregnant woman not tempt those with psychotic tendencies into trying to re-enact the twisted things they see in a video game in real life?
Arguably it's the age-old argument that was made against video games once they moved past abstract blocks falling into a grid - whether the actions you take in digital spaces inform the actions you take in the world.
Even though the writing is shit, I'm glad that Raptus exists, such as it is - it has shown me that even my extensive list of fetishes has an end, and I hope it makes people who play it reflect.
