Waifus & Strays

I got Huniepop for my birthday. I mean, I got other things as well. I have nice friends. But of those things that I got for my birthday it's Huniepop that I want to try talking about. Partly because, being a dating sim / puzzle game hybrid there's lot's of oddness to discuss both in terms of humorous quirks and analysing attitudes towards sex in gaming. But mostly because when I got given it the attitude expressed was that they were looking forward to what I had to say about it.

And I think there is a lot that can be said regarding the game, but I must admit to having some difficulty in deciding quite how to approach it. I mean, it's a fun game to be sure. But there is some oddly disturbing subtext going on at the same time. And of course, being a sex themed game there's always the possibility that I'm going to have to make some sort of definitive statement on whether or not it actually gave me an erection at any point.

The people have a right to know!
