In the end, besides ourselves, family is all we really have.
Me and my wife have gone through a lot of shit and it's made us adamant on ensuring the family we raise is strong, and even stronger together.
Thank you for indulging my curiosity. When you say "As long as it is happening in controlled environment and nobody actually gets hurt." - that's the thing that triggers my protective and wrathful side. This is fantasy, but for some reason it still triggers that side of me.. even a fictional character being used and abused makes my blood boil.
As for Lost Life, please bear in mind I haven't played it in years. Me and my wife played it together back in like 2019/2020 or so. It's been a minute. That said, it's hard to rate for a few reasons:
1.) It's an unspoken narrative. There are no words (that I can remember) in the game - at all.
2.) Player choice. There are darker things you can do in the game that I am aware of, but you don't have to and there are actually built-in ramifications for pushing the LI too far or being abusive. She WILL get revenge if you do so, and this knowledge always made me feel good to know.
3.) I'm not sure a 1-10 scale is a great way to gauge how I feel or judge these things. For example, when the twins were re-introduced in The Lost Guardian and I saw what the one was doing regarding the photoshoot.. pushing the daughter into things.. I felt genuine rage. I wanted to delete the game and never go back, but I didn't because Seath has made a lot of engaging content and I want to give his art a "second chance" if you will. So, in a way - that scene in The Lost Guardian was a 10 for me. It pushed me to the same rage I felt when I tried DD. (Which despite the built-in warnings, the description of the game left me with the impression that there would be the option of player choice to turn the story into a caring one which I am still pissed about.) There's a stark contrast between what Lilith and the twins do in the Guardian series vs. what you can experience in DD but both made me violently repulsed.
..to answer the question, though, I think possibly 3/10? Maybe 4/10?
You can push too far in Lost Life, and walking that line is part of the game but has built-in consequences for going too far.
