In the game, the player, a college age female, has amnesia. The only way to win is to get different guys to like you. If you dont get them to like you, then you end up being -murdered- by jealous rivals. You are repeatedly told in the game that being alone with a guy is dangerous, and you are asking for it because they cant control themselves. (Dont even get me started on the time you dare to wear a bikini!) You are often called an idiot, and your only option is to apologize for doing something wrong. You are hurt by these male characters when they are overcome with anger or jealousy because they cant help themselves. In one version of the game the "good" ending requires allowing a guy to lock you in a dog crate for 3 days (so you wont leave his apartment) for your own safety! And hes the "good guy"!!
The worst part is, however, that this game has 4.5 stars on Amazon, the App store, and Steam.
What are we teaching our children? How can that kind of treatment be acceptable, and even fun to pretend?
These things are common in games called Visual Novels (VNs) and Otome. The games seem harmless, but they are truly warped! These are socially acceptable, and are often PG-type games, so you may not think anything of letting your kid buy them.
But seriously, watch what you let your kids play!
