Though the game is early in development we see foreshadowing of the hero's journey shrouded in references to Greek mythology and fatalism.
We meet our hero, appearing to be the quintessential everyman, having succumbed to the general malaise that only hedonism can bring. Quickly he realises that life is not in these fleeting pleasures. Plagued by visions of his deceased father, who saw his potential to transcend and become the Ubermensch, we see our character summon the strength to eschew his slave morality and step out into the world anew, ready to forge relationships and find love.
Where the game excels in its diversity of characters. Our protagonist is first shocked to find a drug-addicted African-American man shooting up in the changing rooms but on reflection embraces him as a younger brother. Sharing the emotional intimacy oft lacking between male characters the friend opens up about his issues, including his sexual insecurities, and rather than casting him away the MC brings gentle humour to the situation, encouraging his "lil' bro" to embrace a modern masculinity and not be chained to the ways of the past. Sadly, it appears as though not all have the strength of mind, but perhaps the hero can continue to lend his.
As for love interests, the game has mostly fixated on Karla, a traditional and deeply religious Hispanic woman who contrasts with our former hedonist as a character whose life has been about chastity, withholding from the temptations of men. Men who chauvinistically proclaim her to be "crazy" for rejecting their advances. Fortunately our hero is not restrained by such myopic views and is able to take her as she is.
We've also had brief introductions to a strong independent black woman unafraid to espouse her deep-seated feminist ideals, a powerful professional female fighter, a redheaded gym-goer wishing for the gentle strength to free her nurturing spirit, and even a young man struggling to process the mixed messaging of what masculinity is in a society that tells him men must be in touch with femininity and gentle yet paradoxically never dropping their stoicism.
Each character will be deeply relatable to a contemporary audience and yet few writers dare to lay their souls bare on this delicate terrain. Truly a game for the modern era, Rightful Ownership is the in-depth analysis of sex and gender that pornography desperately needs.
