It has become the second highest earning game globally, making 30 million last month and 42 this month.

You can only play as a female.




Basically the gaming version of an erotic romance novel?

See this is nice, they made a new game instead of coming in ruining existing franchises. I hope the rainbow community leaves and flocks to these type of games

They're basically the only game in town right now for husbando-loving women. They make soooo much money in china and asia region due to all the thirsty ladies. I think mihoyo games are still making more money including worldwide numbers and considering they have console ports.

Those characters look a lot like devil may cry ones. Capcom you know what to do. But now put Lady, Trish and the one that drives the van as playable characters as well.

It's been 5 years since the last DMC.

This is the advantage of being the only player in town.

This is the same thing as The Sims 4 still being played quite a lot and raking in the DLC/MTX money.
You wouldn't know looking at the usual discourse, but them ladies are playing the shit out of it still, even after all those years.

Funny how no one cares about how these men are sexualised but women being sexualised in 2024 is enough reason to get you canceled into oblivion, thank god for Black Myth and Stellar Blade devs

The otome games genre has always been a staple of the gaming industry. Women are an extremely reliable consumer base, and often show up for games which speak to them.

While it doesn't seem that this game contains any yaoi, the subset of women (fujoshi) who prefer that pairing are even more reliable than normal consumers.

Make a game with scantily clad musclebound hunks and nobody bats an eye. Make a game with a voluptuous woman wearing skintight clothing and everyone loses their minds
It just depends on the context, and target audience. This game is very obviously marketing itself as an erotic game, so it's to be expected that the focus is on eroticism.

Some people, not myself personally, take ire when they observe erotic content in major game releases, which they feel is unavoidable. I.E. If you released a Zelda game, which targets a more general fanbase, but then upped the eroticism on Zelda like 300%.

It's like how nobody's coming after the Monmusu Quest folks for making a JRPG with too much monster hentai in it, but if Square Enix did it in FFXVII people might be a bit displeased. (I'd be very much onboard though.)
