I can't even begin to imagine how damaging it is, how terrible to remember, how wounding. I created an account only to comment this.įirst of all, I'm so so so sorry you had to live such a terrible experience. Sorry for the rambling, I just feel.some acknowledgement from this.that how I feel after that *is* valid, and is a form of rape and lack of concent. Like shit, I can relate to a lot of these feeling of dissassociation, and hiding the pain and sadness.I don't know what it is that makes us go along with what they want.Īnd that part where it asks, did they cum? "You didn't ask"."they were in too much pain".etc.like I really felt that, I didn't think about how I wasn't asked these things either.It makes me want to cry thinking about it. Talking about it as though it was nothing, when it was a horrible situation for me, I still feel affected everyone I think of that night.but it seems none of them understand the mild trauma it gave me. Pretending I was fine when I was asked certain things.I too felt shoxked by Simon I thought was a friend.and now I have such strong feeling of disgust towards her.Especially when she had the nerve to talk about what happened, I felt so embarrassed when getting news of it being spoken to someone in my school. Oh wow.this game helps bring light to a situation of my past that I felt was a loss due to me not.protecting myself well enough.? For not speaking up on what I wanted. #WhyIDidntReport (I have since reported the incident, but I'll keep the hash tag as it took years of courage to come forwards.)

The story thus focuses on Tomoya’s role as a psuedo-consultant while getting to know the four heroines of the story as the player is given an interesting look at the world of eroge development.Have you ever rubbed your erection up against a sleeping person and begun groping them? If you answered 'no' then you're doing better in life than my ex-friend, the protagonist of this game.Ī short interactive story about my experience with fuzzy boundaries and the grey areas surrounding consent. After some nudging from the president of Flower’s parent company and some soul searching of his own, our protagonist takes it upon himself to save Flower by teaching the four girls on staff the ins and outs of what makes an eroge good. Tomoya’s glee at being part of the eroge industry is short-lived, as he soon learns that Flower is on the chopping block due to their first title being a massive failure.Īfter playing through Flower’s first title, Tomoya realizes that his co-workers don’t know anything about eroge, lacking the insight and understanding needed to make a good game. Tomoya’s luck takes a turn for the better when he sees a help wanted ad for the local studio Flower, and after a meeting with the company president (who to his surprise looks like an elementary school kid), manages to get a job as administrator of the company’s website. Still, his dream is to get a job at an eroge studio in hopes of creating what he loves, eroge. While he really likes eroge, he can’t draw, isn’t much of a writer or composer, and doesn’t know much about business. Mochizuki Tomoya is a guy that lives on his own with only a day job at a convenience store keeping him afloat.
