Regarding "Sutekina Kanojo no Tsukurikata"

[Shaheena Evelga]

Hiii.....

so the latest addition to the HELLA YURI list seems to be..... a bit darker...

And i must ask, as person suffering from actual PTSD induced from a past Abuse event, HOW DARK, specifically the rape is in that game?

I am very curious to play it, partially cause of my past, but last thing i need is a fullblown flashback, so better ask first how deep the game goes in describing its rape events and that stuff.....

Thanks in advance <3

While I have not played it, from what I've heard, I wouldn't advise it.

The rumors that I've heard are that it was a gang drug-rape which was filmed and the protagonist still has the video, which causes her to go crazy and assault the love interest, - Allegedly there are NO good endings, just dark fetish.

However if anyone actually DID play they will obviously have better information than I do.

I tried this game for half an hour and gave up. I didn't get anywhere close to Hanako's spoilers. But erm...

First 5 minutes spoilers of protag
Sumire's messed up. Not stable psychologically. The game literally starts with her posting on her Twitter equivalent demanding attention by posting picture of her slit wrist. You don't see said picture, but apparently it's just makeup. But this doesn't change the fact that PC attempts to use self-harm to garner attention/sympathy for herself. She's suicidal. She feels like utter trash. And her behaviors later in the game within this 30 minute play doesn't improve her image either

Love interest/Nazuna. I don't have anything solid for her to go by. She could be a good person. Or maybe not so good. Since 30 minutes aren't enough to reveal anything too deeply about her. I am getting some bad vibes here and there, but they're all circumstantial.

What happened in this 30 minutes play. Story spoiler
Sumire met Nazuna by chance after a foiled date gang rape. While Sumire is falling apart from this attempted gang rape, Nazuna drops in on Sumire's class and tries to befriend her. Massive panick, useless lesbian trope, etc etc shtick. Nazuna becomes REALLY buddy buddy with Sumire despite all of Sumire's spaghetti in pants moments. The dynamic sort of shifts later on with Sumire becoming increasingly dependent and clingy to Nazuna. And I mean emotionally holding Nazuna hostage to get some buddy time together. This is major red flag to me. Sumire's already not so put together to begin with, but Nazuna's involvement actually feeds into Sumire's ego in all the bad ways.

Posted on VNDB by someone who played it:

Nazuna watches a video where Sumire is drugged in a love hotel with some guy who treats her like a slave. Then there's a second part where Sumire has a nightmare flashback about lying in bed while an old guy moves on top of her. Everything is text only.

Again I don't know firsthand myself.

Finished playing and can confirm that the descriptions of past rape is very brief, non-explicit, and text-only.

However, several of the H-scenes between the female characters involve rape of the love interest by the protagonist, as well as urination (sometimes shown in CG, sometimes just described), vomit & vomit eating (described but not shown) [EDIT: actually I think I'm misremembering and vomit is only featured outside of sex scenes, but it super squicks me so I'm not going to go back and check further], forced petplay, drug use, choking (accidentally to death). I might have forgotten something in there.

Even without the adult patch, the abusive behavior of the protagonist includes (mostly just described in text) cutting the love interest off from her friends and family, blackmailing her with nude photos, holding her hostage, starving her, beating her, accidentally killing her in more than one ending, forcing her to take drugs, demanding that she destroy a memento of her dead pet, again, I'm probably forgetting something. It's a bit ambiguous whether the protagonist is so traumatized that she blacks out and isn't aware of her actions, or whether she's somewhat aware of them and is an unreliable narrator.

I can't say for anyone else whether they'll find any of this triggering, but speaking for myself, I found the first part of the game more uncomfortable because it's a very realistic, relatable depiction of someone with severe anxiety and depression forming an intense, one-sided attachment. The latter part of the game with the dark endings is more exaggerated yandere stereotype than realistic depiction of abuse. The sex scenes are very not my kink, but I didn't find it upsetting. Again, YMMV.

Oh fuck me, thats literally my last relationship (minus the deaths) as a story..........

Yeah hard pass, even for the aim to expose my self therapeutically to this this is waaaaaaay too close to home, thank you for that synopsis Kimchi Tea

Sorry about that, glad I could help though.

Thanks for your post. I was interested in the concept of the game but decided to wait and see after the review bombing, and while I'm fine with the physical abuse part the emotional one sends all sorts of bad signals :/ Guess I'll stay clear of this game for now.
