" The Start Screen questions about writing on this story. The Start Screen wondered if giving this, 'what The Start Screen supposes' is a game, any kind of attention would be worth the debate that could come out of it. Folks, this is pretty bad [so we've heard], but just reading about the content: 'a virtual rape simulator' got me to thinking about what is and is not appropriate. In the age of the ESRB and 'Adults Only' game ratings, is something like RapeLay completely within its rights to be sold as an adult title? "
GB: "We take a look at 15 amazing games that had the perfect length."
Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Downloading right now!
Sorry, but the curiosity is killing me! I have never played an erotic game before and this game have been getting so much attention lately that I need to know what is this all about.
I feel so dirty! But it's just a game... >_0
It's funny to me that making a game about rape is completely absurd and wrong, but games where you murder are actually fairly common and something we can tolerate. Why do we have double standards? I'm not saying this game is good in any way, I'm just making a point.
Does playing this game hurt anyone?
Why are rape scenes allowed in movies? Aren't there plenty of porns with this as the main theme? Why's this being in a game all of a sudden bad?
To the defenders of this game who bang on about "why should we not allow this rape game, but we can allow killing and violence in other game (or rape in movies)".
These sort of words shows your moral stupidity!
This isn't an ordinary game, it's a stimulation game. Teaching you how to rape. What? Because it's made into a game, you think it's not serious?
You can also take driving test online as a game simulator. So if that can be taken seriously why shouldn't this simulator be taken seriously.
This game belongs in Japan, because Japanese love these kind of stuff.
If you really want to defend this game, then perform your first rape.
Some one in your family gets raped, and you are telling me, you'll still be playing this game.
Since these pack of idiots use the word "rape" in gaming world (during gaming or online), why should they take this seriously?
What I don't understand is how killing innocent people in video games are allowed, but rape AND sex isn't, generally anyway. Blah. It's all messed up.
