Oh great, the two thing I hate most, RomComs and creepy Dating Sims have made their ugly nest in one game.
The game is largely about the conflict between Katherine and Catherine over Vincent, but I don't think that makes it a dating sim. Who Vincent ends up with in the end probably relies on the position of his morality meter, but that's adjusted mostly by questions posed to Vincent at the end of the puzzle sequences.
I don't know how you're seeing any "Com" in here. This trailer is full of tension, anger, and screaming.
Looked more like comedy to me, that quirky, annoying kind of comedy present in Sitcoms.
It might not be a dating sim per se, but it is a relationship simulation. Maybe it's just me, but any elements of simulating romance beyond basic RPG elements comes off as desperate and creepy, such pandering is insulting. Even in games like ME2 where it's secondary and optional it comes off as creepy and out of place.
It doesn't break any barriers for me as some people seem to describe, it's not challenging my concepts of sexuality or anything of the sort, they gear these games towards negative stereotypes to take advantage of gamers.
"People who play videogames don't have sex lives and are desperate, so lets release a game with pre-order panties."
Anybody who buys into it just makes the rest of us look bad.
This is a puzzle game, absolutely nobody is interested in the gameplay, they're just looking forward to unlocking shower scenes and engaging in simulated pillow talk.
