    a) shock value doesn't work anymore

    b) regardless, you failed, this looks more like schlocky mid 2000's horror. Or manhunt, but I repeat myself

    c) it's kind of really funny that they still censor nudity. A lot less funny that only the women are naked. Really bad vibes.

    d) looks boring

    I think they could salvage this if it was like a bait and switch and one of the victims is secretly a demon or something and starts hunting you. All the OP slasher tropes are reversed, becoming frustrating, borderline game breaking bullshit instead of enabling a power fantasy. I'd say hire me but I want nothing to do with this thing :nyet:

      CW:mentioning sexual violence

      Do they really? That seems unlikely to me considering these guys also made Succubus and that game has fully-nude explicit rape scenes with vulvas and erect dicks and all.

        I was... not aware of that :what-the-hell:

        In the steam page trailer it was censored, but I guess that's just compliance with store policy then?

          Yup, honestly I thought some of the content of Succubus was actually against Steam's store policy, but then again, Sex With Hitler is also a game that exists on steam so I guess they've given up on having any rules.

          For what it's worth, there are things I liked about Succubus. It was mostly just very edgy trash though.

            It was basically an off-brand Bloodrayne 2 remake by devs with terminal 4chan brain. I had a longer comment about how it was basically just a schlocky and way too horny slasher b-movie and that was its most redeeming feature because its gameplay was weirdly dated and very repetitive, but it got eaten by the site and just pointing at Bloodrayne 2 (not the first Bloodrayne, since that was janky rubbish but actually good since it was just "wot if you could bullet time to cut up Nazis over and over for literally hours" the game) and saying "that, but way hornier and more graphic" makes the same point.

      a) shock value doesn’t work anymore

      It may not shock as much, but as a brand identifier plenty of Epic G!mers buy "shock," no matter how stale, because they see themselves as mature grown-ass men that would have their masculinity (and orientation) threatened by anything that isn't violence for violence's sake.

      Manhunt, for all its edge, was definitely not this bad. All the guys you killed in both games were psycho killers, white supremacists or cops who were actively trying to kill you. The first game's plot was orchestrated by a depraved film producer and snuff film enthusiast who you are trying to stop. I think the second game was about unethical military psychology experiments or something.

      They also had that trademark Rockstar Satirical™️ edge that gave everything a comedic detached feel. This is just playing everything straight and having you play the villain
