I just checked out
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ235583.html, which someone was kind enough to pack with a MTL translator script into the Unity game.
The game has quite a bit of promise IMO. The only downside is that it's too short, and the heroine is kinda fat and "average" looking for a drawing. The writing is somewhat believable, I was very impressed by the troupe of a female gamer. In the beginning of the game, it talks about a girl who is really good at a game that I suppose is League of Legends. She wants to compete in a pro team, but she's a girl and others give her shit for it. The premise of the blindfold comes in when she says learning to listen to the sound of the games and sharpening her hearing helps her be a better player. All of this plot makes sense and is quite cute to see a woman try to compete in a "man's world". Something beautiful about that.
Sadly, it falls short because the MC is just way too weak to be believable. In reality, even the wimpiest loser would want to protect the girl rather than whore her out. For the following reasons: 1) his first girlfriend, and probably the only girl in his life that was nice to him other than his Mom, 2) from me skipping the premise, it's only that he was afraid of getting his ass kicked?. He would gladly take a beating and try to outwit his abusers, think of a wimpy guy bringing a knife and trying to stab the dude (because of how weak and mentally retarded he is), or the Columbine shooters where the bullied takes revenge after reaching his breaking point.
The game would be a masterpiece IMO if the girl was cuter, maybe more tomboyish because shes a gamer right? Kinda play into that troupe a bit. Think DvA from Overwatch as what a cute gamer girl should actually look like. She's suppose to have a bit of spunk in her, as well as a bit of confidence because she's good at the game. It would also be better if the corruption was slower (don't even need that many H-Scenes), with more dialog and more programming to give choice and mystery.
Really confused as to why this game turned out this way. Their previous game,
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ195414.html, was really fucking good. Heroine was perfect, and a lot more content. Albeit the girls still don't fight hard enough.
I really think it's a culture thing in Japs where they simply can't fathom a girl acting like a boy and having interests and thought patterns similar to one. Not talking about the cutesy tomboys you see in a lot of anime and manga, but actual ones that other than their body and their sexual preference, it's identical to a woman. Only one I can really think about is Rahilda in
https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ170185.html 涙声のギニヨル. Really need authors to put their perverted minds away and put themselves in the shoes of a NTR MC or blackmailed heroine.
This wimpy, passive, do-nothing writing from both the male MC and the heroine is pathetic and quite frankly, stale.
