For now, we won't be talking about the things happening with the creator. Only the game. I've been wanting to talk about this game for a while, but haven't had the guts to due to the creator and the horrible things she and her husband have done.
Today I'm going to be talking about the game Your Boyfriend. Yup. T h a t o n e
Like I said, for this post we will only talk about the game. Nothing on the creators because I don't believe it is my place. If you want to know about it, I suggest this video
the video link is unavailable, so you'll need to find it manually.
Again, we will ONLY be talking about the game.
So, trigger warnings: obsessive love disorder, ranting, you boyfriend game, murder, etc.
So without further adue, let us proceed.
So if you don't know what YBG is, YBG is a visual novel horror game about a man who is obsessed romantically and sexually with you the player.
The man will be referred to as Peter seeing how that's his name- anyway.
First, let me say I've only seen up to day 2- or whatever day He kidnaps you. Yeah he does that. So my summary might not be accurate
So the game begins with you being at the park, your favorite spot. Here you meet Peter who claims to be your boyfriend. You can either go with it, or not. Your choice.
I haven't seen a playthrough in a while, so this is rusty. You later go to a flower store and meet him again, reaching for the same rose you are. He's like 'oh sorry' and you can react negatively or positively. Reacting negatively will make him hold the rose super right he bleeds.
Anyway the day ends with him at your window. Spooky/sarc.
Already right off the this sucks. But we ain't done we have day two.
In day two you go to your job, and you meet TK, your fellow employee, and someone who has romantic feeling for you.
During your job you see Peter again. Again being able to react negatively or positively, each ending in a different reaction. If you act positively, he'll walk you home, in which Dom..? I think, your landlord says your roommate hasn't been paying their share and might need to be kicked out. Peter offers to live with you with sexual intentions. If you agree your roommate will appear and be pissy.
Now if you react negatively, go finish your shift and go home, your roommate, Lucy is her name, noticing you look distraught. You two get high or drink, I don't remember, and I think y'all end up fucking.
Now here is where the next part comes into play, where you have a horrible headache or smt and leave your room to find pills. You see a figure in front of you, and you think it's Lucy and they are offering pills. Before you can react, they are shoved into your mouth and your mouth is covered and you hear Peter say something so forgettable that I don't care.
Nice. This game STINKS.
Not only does it romanticize a person with obsessive love disorder, it's just not scary!!! Yes the concept is truly horrifying, seeing how it's something that has, and does happen!! But this game treats it like us haha silly. And it's like. FUCK NO.
This game HAD potential.
Let's also talk about the style of the game- the visual novel style.
This style is only good for horror Under VERY specific circumstances. It needs to be done right, and holy hell does this game not do it right. It's terrible. The game just tells you the thing to fear outright or shows you completely. There isn't any FEAR here. It's not SCARY. Orginally when I first learned of the game, I was pretty young, but I still had my obsession with psychology, so I thought this game was going to be a psychological horror, and show the fear behind this concept.
BUT NO.
IT JUST THROWS JT AWAY GOD DAMNIT!!! INTO THE BIN!!!
And I HATE how this game claims to be mature for more than the sex themes!! Fuck, bendy and the ink machine, a mascot horror game for 13 plus is scarier than this shit.
The reason why I said I didn't recommend YB is because James the victim that was SA'd in Fuboo's home was essentially sent a lawsuit which they lost on the grounds because they released info which compromised the case, that doesn't mean Fuboo and Inverted Mind Inc is innocent, they retracted the statement because of the lawsuit idgaf.
Don't give money to them, and don't support them.
"B-But separate art-"
Shut up, these people abused the law system to silence the victim and if you buy the game in support of them, then you funded this. James literally is a victim. He didn't say it was a lie, and therefor Fuboo and Jake got away scotfree, this is WHY I don't recommend the game.
Little fun Fact that I have known YBG since 2021 But never interacted the game and Fandom since I was 17 at the time (and I think the game itself was lowkey weird) so I didn't look any further until I seen the mostly known controversy about fuboo and her husband and Thank God I didn't join that game fandom
And i moved on and forgotten about YBG until recently I found on stream as a demo and wanted to try it out because I wanted to know what the hype about this game since it gotten popular of 2021, it's only has 2 days in the demo and I guess it's okay (just not Peter golf ball creepy ass fucking weirdo) so I gotten curious so I watched some others gameplay on YouTube and my surprise that they make day 4 and working in progress of day 5, I was like "they still making this golf ball man game??" So I gotten Ever More curious and went deeper the Rabbit hole on Twitter/X and to see the aftermath, the more I know the more disturbing I seen after the controversy in 2021, apparently Peter and don are based of fuboo husband 💀 and Sarah/your girlfriend is also based the victim before they transition which is completely messed up to make a game for that based off real people in traumatizing event
And the fandom just completely forgotten about this and still support the creator as nothing happened?!? I seen some users that they don't support them and separating the art from the artist but seeing after tweets based off real people of the characters, I don't think you really can and leave the game all together at this point,
If anyone seeing this and are in the YBG, drop the game, leave the fandom, cancel that membership on their patreon, don't support the creator fuboo, they are bad and horrible people and don't deserve it at all
@nekoboydreams you need to see this, it’s incredible! 😭😭😭
omg I never felt chills like this before - I love this so much, your art is beyond amazing *cries* 😳😭 seriously its like it came from an animated show - ho my god….it looks so professional!???
I had played Your dearest boyfriend demo few days ago and it’s gotten me to try playing your boyfriend game last night, so I wanted to make two Ocs that are twins siblings for fun I guess
