discussion Has a H-game ever viscerally disturbed you?

[Mitomo727]

By saying 'disturbed', I don't mean simply being freaked out or shocked at seeing something gross or violent, but rather something that made you really uncomfortable or inspired a deep revulsion. A game that just made you feel 'wrong'.

My own experience would be that of the first time playing DoL. I don't know why that game in particular made me feel so - maybe the grim portrayal of sex paired with the (questionable) age of the characters, or maybe my own relative inexperience with adult gaming at the time, perhaps both. Either way, my stomach felt like a crumpled up tissue when I started off, thinking "I can't believe I'm actually playing this" paired with "Man, I don't think I should be doing this". It went away eventually, courtesy of me finding out the game was actually very engaging in its gameplay, but I still feel residues of that initial reaction whenever I start up a new save.

So yeah, anyone else? I'm curious to hear how common this is, or if I'm just a pussy.

I don't know about disturbed...
I'd say I naturally separate game/fantasy from reality. Rather than disturbed, some content is just boner killer for me.

lol yes disturbed me a bit at the time when I was not so used to see these kind of tropes / situations

No the thing I remember really put me bad when I was like 17yo was the two girls one cup video - not a game but felt a profound sense of disturbance

I'm not complaining about nerves, it's just worth remembering that all these games are just sets of pixels. Even the late Raptus. Take a closer look at the tags. And it's a pity that there isn't a full-fledged section with reviews of a particular game. After reviewing them, you can save yourself from encountering unpleasant content.

I wouldn't really call it vomit inducing disturbing, but most games with rape, like actual rape, I just can't. I find no enjoyment on those scenes.

I'm usually able to stomach just about everything, and if I find out (sometimes in the middle of playing) that it's not for me I'll just leave it be. Though some unexpectedly excessive ryona scenes have made me question my life decisions. If I had to say, extreme ryona stuff with girls who are completely undeserving usually turns me off and makes me take a walk around the room. But sometimes it just goes overboard and it just becomes comedically exaggerated so much so that I can't even take it seriously and even have a laugh how the artist has just failed their goal because of trying too hard.

But yeah, basically anything other than that is fine with me, at least in moderation. I've read/seen/played so many eccentric H-content that I've become somewhat numb to it I guess. At least there's certainly some kinds of content that I used to avoid and nowadays I don't even bat an eye at them, but spending a lot of years searching high and low for new content to satiate my lust will do that I suppose...

I mostly look for games with hardcore kinks, this extreme scenes in the majority of them look dumb and exagerated, I think the only ones that I could take seriously were Raptus and Holly smiles at the end

Try malignant if you didn't already try it I am pretty sure it would pass the bar for you

I agree here. But to answer OPs question, no I haven't found any games that made me feel uncomfortable, or "wrong". Mostly, I think it's because it's easy for me to separate life from fiction.

Maggot Baits. I usually don't get disturbed by much but this one did it for me.

I only watched five seconds of that video, worst 5 seconds of my life

red room

 

[Alice_2]

i would say this answer is a little cheating since i would say the H content of that game is more of a side part but playing the opening of saya no uta from having little knowledge of the game is a very magical experience that i would say makes it a lot better

Not so much disturbed, but Eternity hit the feels a bit.
