discussion What are some games with robust nickname systems?

[whodunnit]

I'm looking for some game recommendations, particularly for games with nickname systems that you can really go ham with. I don't necessarily mean changing 'step mom' to 'mom' kind of stuff, but stuff like Whoremonger where you can set pet names that you'd have LI's call you and that you can call them. Or like in Light of my Life where you can have characters refer to a body part by custom name. One game that does all that would be Ruin Me. I'm wondering if there are other games like that out there that I haven't seen yet.

Lessons in Love's nickname function isn't that extensive (if I remember right it only really applies to a handful of girls) but when you get to a certain point in the storyline for most love interests you can ask them to call you something specific when you're being intimate. They have unique reactions (based on their personality) to certain options you can enter- one or two names they're especially turned on by (e.g. girl with a brother kink gets really into calling you "brother"), a couple they'll be weirded out by and refuse to use (protip, do not ask your girlfriend to call you by her much younger sister's name in bed), and in some cases one that's basically so wrong of you to ask that it breaks their mind and the whole universe has to be reset.

You can also put in the dev's name for a very shameless and fourth-wall-smashing sidebar from the characters talking about how wonderful the game is.

That's all fun easter eggs mostly, you can also put in a more prosaic name and they'll use it in sexual situations (or in normal ones where they want to tease you).

Not super intuitive, but Harem Hotel has a nickname system. It takes awhile to be usable with each girl though, but it's pretty decent. Long ass game

Stormside has a bit of that. I don't know if it's enough for you, but it's enough to annoy me because I couldn't care less and the scene gallery keeps asking about this for every scene.

Thanks for the recommendation, it's a slow burn so far to even get to the first possible nick name input but it's also pretty fucking funny.
