And its a great game, i love the aesthetic, the theater kid energy from the protag, the whole going into people’s palaces as a metaphor for their distorted desires and what not
But I hate how little self awareness it has of it’s own themes, first boss is a gross asshole who preys on women and objectifies them, this is a fact it’s presented as a plot point to show he’s evil, main girl is a victim of his, we go into the guy’s palace, steal his desire, main girl has this whole scene of almost killing him but wanting him to confess of his crimes instead, all good and shit, except asshole is a professor and main girl is a teen in her 16s/17s, he is a pedophile and in no part of the story is this addressed, main girl gets a special suit because of her per son a and ohh it’s a skintight suit! and it’s referenced by the guys as a oohh sexy! also her pe r sona is a fucking dom lady hmmmm ok, moving along, you can bond with multiple people and this gives you different skills, you can bond with a doctor lady, with homeroom professor, with a news writer, and a lot of other adult ladies.Well, guess what, you, a 16/17 year old boy, can also romance most of these adult women if you max out their bond!!!! :0
I love the story and all but the way it treats romance and attraction and women when not story related (i’ve not proceeded past art asshole so have only met main girl of main thieves so far) is gross to say the least, also homeroom teacher being a sexy maid also is gross as fuck, idk if this is a real thing or a fetish from the producers of the game but either way self awareness through the ground, it’s so far deep it had a funeral and everything!
