Love365's "Irresistible Mistakes", mostly Shunichiro
So as I mentioned before, I played some of Love365's "Irresistible Mistakes", about a woman who wakes up realising she had a drunken one night stand with one of her coworkers and DOESN'T REMEMBER WHICH.
If that premise appeals to you and you have a high tolerance for consent issues and heteronormativity you may have fun, and Shunichiro, the main guy I discuss, is free right now.
Here's the trailer, which is all about Shunichiro (the actual game is not animated and you don't usually see the main character)
Anyway, here are the somewhat edited reactions I made to my friend over discord.
Content notes: Consent issues. Spoilers for Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker because I made a joke I am too happy with to cut.
currently playing cheesy japanese phone otome
totally forgot what surname I chose for my character Rei
until she said "Stop thinking about sex! Get a grip, Palpatine!"
(See? HILARIOUS)
and I mean
she's not shown onscreen
so I am free to imagine all these sexy execs flirting with a weird looking sith in a hood
I couldn't find the full game choice screen to get to the game I'd actually been recced, just one with like 3 games so I chose the one with the most entertaining sounding premise, which has a title like "Can a one night stand lead to love??"
(Edit: This was written in much larger font than the title so I got confused)
and is about a business woman who sleeps with a coworker but she's so drunk she doesn't know which one
just which four dudes were at the bar with her
and they're ALL acting like they might have
so I am head-canoning salaryman orgy
I very much doubt I'll play past the prologue but for a game to play JUST for it's prologue it's fun
esp cos so little japanese otome has heroines who are even a little sexually forward, even if this one is seething with internal slut shaming she did DO it
and she keeps thinking "Did I have sex with this guy"
which naturally leads to
imagining him having sex with her
ahahaha a random strange dude just said hi and when she said she'd never seen him before he said "Ouch. I got a pretty good look at you last night ;)" and walked off.
HOW MANY MEN DID SHE SLEEP WITH
we're up to 5!
also her childhood bff showed up
and looks like a LI
though he was all slutshamey at her female BFF for being like
"who needs a relationship when I have sex :)"
and he said one night stands and office romances are a bad idea
so idk maybe he wasn't invited to the orgy and is pissed
six!
*posts screenshot of bartender who is described as a 'sweetheart con artist' and 24*
he's "a few years younger" so she's like 26
Ha I thought she'd be all MUST SUBTLY SOLVE MYSTERY AND GATHER CLUES
but she just straight up asks the bartender if she left with anyone (he says he doesn't remember so I'm wondering when his possible-lay-ness comes up)
and then when her boss is all hello ;) says "So last night...did I...do something weird..."
and he says "Was it bad?"
and she has a flashback to THE BEST SEX EVER (making it clear she has def had a bunch of sex before)
she fucked the dude I choose at the end of the prologue
one of these 6
I like the idea that it's not the boss
because that means he saw her go off and have sex with someone else and is like
(a) that's hot
(b) Good for her
Friend: Who do you want it to be?
I'm darkly curious to know how it would work with the childhood bff
because he would be being a MASSIVE HYPOCRITE
but otherwise
because I am predictable
the kuudere accountant
>.>
oh or young con artist bartender
who would also have been lying
and also is young and poorer than her
everyone else is a bit...toppy business man
wait no
no there isn't six
there's TEN
(Here's the wiki page with images if you're curious)
I didn't even meet half these guys
they weren't at the bar
did she just drunkenly wander off and meet with them in the street
Rei (that's confusing): languid, creative, cuts women off mercilessly "I wish I could love you"
Jun: Cold CEO, gets top scores on everything except monogamy lol
finance is a stat omg
Shunichiro: the dude who thinks MC should be having a lot of sex. Seems to be bisexual and slutty???
gets basically zero on monogamy
gets over 100% on generosity
because he shares himself about so much I guess
Toshiaki: kuudere. Gets like 200% on brains and monogamy, high on control and finances, basically nothing on all other axes
Toma: awkward, rudest to those he likes
Taku: 200% for Complicated and Intensity
Go: the bartender, seems kinda subby
childhood bff gets points for monogamy and not much else lol
Company doctor: kinky. He is...literally...naked...in his profile pic
and gets 200% for sex appeal and Complicated
Keita: friendly and outgoing and loved by everyone but secretly a master manipulator who gets 200% for Intensity and Complicated
and that's everyone
that's a nice range, actually, good job game
hooo boy
so
I chose the bartender
and it was all cute
except for the fact that being the bartender
he was stone cold sober
and she was drunk af
and the consent issues are not even hinted at
not only was he the bartender who served the drinks
he got her a hotel room because she was too drunk to get home
and was like "Hmm, missed the last train"
and then "things happened"
uuurgh and the setup for this is annoying you have to watch ads and stuff to earn points to play scenes
Although I think I have the option to buy stuff outright
wait the slutty bisexual dude seems to be free?
WELL THEN
*starts Shunichiro route*
haha man this game is so fucked up about consent
"I have to take responsibility for being so drunk I don't remember having sex with my boss, who was kind to even notice me."
and he calls her into his office implying they'll discuss the sex thing
but instead it's a meeting with a bunch of other people
where he has put her on a creative team he's heading for a big project
and presumably AFTER this
he will ask if she wants to have sex again
yes
good
that is absolutely how you ethically sleep with a subordinate making sure she is 100% able to decide freely
(he wasn't her direct superior before)
it's compelling though!
thought I'd be bored by now
and looks like there's a bunch of other free stories
oh also
she's admired him professionally for years
a commercial he made
was so beautiful
it helped her get through a breakup
and inspired her to get into advertising as a career
it's just so perfectly what it is
haha AWW so she charmed him by getting drunk and and going on a ramble about how cool she thinks he is
hey he actually says he is at fault for sleeping with his drunk employee!
I mean it feels more like
polite japanese apology for the sake of it than real remorse lol
now for a serious business meeting about how to make Japanese young people care about sports, sexy
wait lol so his profile implies he might be bi
maybe he slept with everyone on the team
including childhood bff
that's why he was so weird about one night stands it's self reproach
the orgy happened
everyone remembers but her
boss invites everyone he can to join team he is heading
creating sexy advertising exec multigender harem
cos they are ALL LIs
Also her female bff calls the older exec she's sleeping with "my boy"
'the boy' is married, YUKIO YOU SKANK
I got bored of the boss after they had Hot Sex that was superficially 100% consensual and if anything prompted by her hitting on him but he at no point said "But don't worry I won't ever take advantage of this situation now I'm your supervisor" etc
THE END
This was Episode 3 of I think 12, for context.
Watching the trailer and rereading this is making me curious to watch the final scene, if the game will let me, but I don't feel like it right now, so.
