RapeLay
Seriously? I'm supposed to be turned on by something like this?
Genre(s): Eroge Platform(s): Microsoft Windows Release: April 26, 2006 Developer(s): Illusion Publisher(s): Illusion Country: Japan

RapeLay is an eroge game developed by Illusion and released on April 26, 2006. The game has gained significant international attention and controversy following its release, and was banned in many countries.

Plot

The Story Mode begins right at the moment of Masaya Kimura, the game's "protagonist", is being arrested by the police. The reason for this is because he was reported by a 17-year-old named Aoi Kiryū, who was caught groping a woman on a subway train, leading to the arrest.

The next day, Aoi and her 12-year-old sister Manaka are helping their mother, Yuko, into finding her lost wallet somewhere around the house, while also talking about yesterday's incident. However, unknown to them, Masaya is eavesdropping the conversation from outside the house. It is then revealed that Masaya's father, a well-known influential politician, managed to get him out of custody, hence why he's roaming free again. After discovering that Yuko is widowed, Masaya decided to exact revenge, by raping the entire family.

Why It Had to Lay Off Rape

Important note: This game is extremely controversial, for reasoning explained below. No positive pointers/section will be permitted on this page.

1. As the title may or may not imply, the game is basically just a semi-interactive frontend on a bunch of rape porn.
2. On that note, the daughters of the family are minors under the US law, with Manaka even being a minor under the loosest Japanese law (good to note that the minimum age of consent is 13 years old, yet most cities apply a much higher age of consent, around 16-18 years old). This essentially classifies the game as child pornography!
   • Due to the game's disgusting and illegal content, it got banned in several countries.
3. Because of Masaya's actions and unwillingness to understand what he's doing is wrong, Masaya Kimura is an incredibly unlikable and bland protagonist. He is only just some pointless guy who sexually assaults women to cure his boredom, and nothing else is known about him, aside from his father. You really can't connect with the character without knowing even anything about his life and motives, and adding the aspect of him enjoying raping, no one (except the mentally deranged rapists and pedophiles) would actually want to relate or feel positively emotional about this abomination of a human being.
4. Like the rest of Illusion's games, the graphics are horrible and make the game even more disturbing.
5. On the topic of repeated mistakes by the developers, the story is badly elaborated.
6. The voice acting is terrible, especially when the family is screaming.
7. Boring and repetitive gameplay. During the Story Mode, the game has two styles of gameplay, which are different, yet still repetitive.
   • The first part is assaulting your target. How it works is that you have to grope them and be a weirdo in order to fill a meter. Once you did so, the game progresses.
     • Considering you managed to endure the first part of the disgusting gameplay and the awful story, now comes the second, yet worst part of the game; the rape itself. The player is given a variety of options on how they want the character to rape their victim, and it lasts indefinitely until the player decides to reach climax and continue with the story. At this point, many people would just Alt+F4 out of the game and never touch it again, due of the grotesque, uncensored content. And as if that wasn't enough, apparently the game also gives you the option to impregnate the characters in the optional Free Play Mode unlocked after completing the Story once, which is unbelievably disgusting and scary. At this point, we, the writers of the page, can confidently say that we are extremely disgusted from even just thinking of this.
8. The game is incredibly short, as it can be completed in less than an hour.
9. The English translation is downright awful, as for some reason, as you progress, the text has random signs, thus being sometimes unable to understand what the characters say.
10. It's a big insult to rape survivors and victims alike, especially to those that were abused when they were children.
