Pleasurable You

January 9, 2013

I made a new game called Pleasurable You. You can play it here.

The game is made using Twine, a simple engine for creating text adventure games. The first few times I saw Twine games I felt no particular desire to create one myself since it looked like something I would be too comfortable with, it's very simple and similar in form to previous games of mine, I thought it might make me complacent. So I started trying to come up with a game that would really challenge me, that would be difficult despite the simplicity of the Twine engine.

The resulting work is extremely uncomfortable for me to play, and even more uncomfortable for me to share. That's why I think it turned out well. I hope you enjoy!

    I don’t think I can look you in the eye ever again man

    Ok… that was…
    Uh…
    WHAT’S THAT?! *runs away*

  3. Ryvvn says:

    I wonder what it says about me that I played through it four times trying to find an ending that was not “normal”

  4. Doomroar says:

    so it seems that im normal… somehow… this… never happened…
    hey why don’t you put this as a minigame on the stanley parable to weird out people that found it, in a secret room or something, you can make the room seemingly normal so people will get all the more surprised. oh and the female narrator could read as we go and at parts suddenly change whit the normal narrator in a deep voice, for the lols.

    I think I understand. The last line of the game does not refer to how you played the game(like you would expect). I think it refers to how you feel towards the game, your choices, and possibly its ending.

    Or maybe the ending refers to everyone’s horrible understanding of how sex “should” happen. The fact that we never speak of it(or if we do, prolly not in the most realistic ways) leads us to question if we are “doing it right.”
    Did you ever at any point during the game wonder if this choice is what everyone else was picking?

    Tooo be honest, I couldn’t focus on the last half of the game(conflict), the content of the game was too distracting.

    Another idea aswell, maybe its checking the time of your responses for each choice. Faster responses to certain content might effect ending.

  6. derp says:

    erp, clarify 2nd paragraph. The confusion to what normal sex is normal, i doubt the statistics are there for alternative.

  7. Gran PC says:

    this is a grade a+ game. have you considered putting it up on greenlight?

  8. derp says:

    Oh, i found the secret ending. I didn’t expect it to be like that though.

  9. JS says:

    It’s interesting the things you can discover through a little meta-gaming. Kudos for the game!

  10. Connagh says:

    To be quite honest, I really didn’t get this one at all.
    I didn’t find it interesting or entertaining or clever. Sorry man, but this one just wasn’t for me.
    I honestly didn’t see any message being told here, and it’s kind of obvious this is a game trying to say something beyond a direct point. I didn’t absorb or understand what it was trying to say, and what it lacks in gameplay isn’t made up anywhere else, leaving me feel a little disappointed.

      That’s totally fine! Not everything I make is going to resonate with everyone, nor should it. The game is simply what I wanted to express, nothing more nothing less.

  11. maius says:

    This game gave me a boner. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel about that.

  12. Anonymous says:

    Blitzed through it right from the first message. I’ve read the text in white and pressed the links without checking what they said. Everything went by in a blur, in less than a minute. Something about sex. Eh, guess that’s me violating a perfectly fine, short text adventure game. lewd/10
