Any 40-plus males playing?

I don't know...it looks kind of funky...but I wonder if I'd feel like some kind of creeper playing a game called "Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble," controlling a bunch of high school girls, making them flirt with boys, etc. I think I'd be embarrassed if my daughter saw me playing. "WTH are you doing, Dad?!?"

Maybe I'm too grounded in reality.

I'm 34, my daughter is 12 and sometimes we are playing this game together, discussing the possible plot-related decisions.
So don't worry and go get it )

[Trent]

Thanks, Niksem. Yes, if I could play *with* her (and she showed interest), then yes I could do that. But tbh, my daughter's only two, so maybe a little young (heh) and it's really my wife and friends that I'd be worried about. The daughter example was more theoretical. Maybe I can buy it and gift it to my daughter in 10 years. :-)

[Niksem]

Oh, come on... my wife loves it, too.
We have a pretty consensus here ))

I think you're being a bit ridiculous and are baiting for some kind of weird "hell yeah that's creepy!" response.

[Trent]

Not baiting. Was serious, looking for others' thoughts. Oh well.

i'm 43. The game is amusing and passes the time. Not the hardest adventure game out there, but not bad at all. I dont't see any reason why you should feel strange playing the game. It is not offensive or creepy in any way.

Save the guilt for those Japanese hardcore doujinshi games ...

It's a board game. And tastefully done at that. I doubt you have anything to worry or feel creepy about. It's not that kind of game.

Takes a bit to get use to the pacing and theme, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I am not a 40 year old male :\ ... meh 22, close enough.

[melkathi]

Far less creepy than finding her dad pretending to kill people for fun ;)

[Magron]

Nope. Don't play. Doesn't look interesting despite my lifelong desire to open up a home for Wayward Teenage Cheerleader Girls With Big Chests.

As long as you describe the plot as "controlling little girls" and "make [force] them flirt with boys" then you're going make yourself look like whatever you're thinking.

How abhout just saying that it's a PC adaptation of what a board game would feel like, and the mini-game challenges are in-universe named after what adults would assume highscoolers would do.

You're only a creep once you start looking for fan-made pics of the Rule 43 variety.

I have no idea what this is, so I guess I'm okay?
Thanks for the reply.

I got this game when I was 39, so the timing of your question is interesting... Only I haven't played in awhile. (My free time is all owned by three other games.)

I got asked via chat if I'm playing a porn game. The name of this game is troublesome.

I know this is almost 10 years old at this point, but wanted to give my take: I saw this post because I was thinking about making another run and I'm in my 40s.

You wouldn't feel like creep. There's teenage movies and there's movies where the protagonist is a teenager. This is more of the latter as it's basically a board game with a theme. I enjoyed my 13 hours; more than I would normally spend on board games as there's just enough plot to make it more interesting for me.

As for other people's perceptions, well, I don't know whether Steam features incognito mode because I've never felt ashamed of playing anything I've bought. I never even thought about the need for privacy here until Steam recommended me "SEX with HITLER" - that is something I wouldn't want on my permanent record for all my friends to see
