discussion Games that Explore Alternate World Customs

Would love to see more society wide free use games

Same. I have yet to come across a game where free use is the "norm". Kinda hard to make a story around it. The only game I have ever seen had a dream sequence or something like that where they woke up and it was a free use world. Didn't last that long though. I wanna say the game was A town uncovered but it was so long ago since I played it

Nudism i think

 

[sleep222]

one of my favorites is people ignoring or not perceiving sexual acts being done, could be interesting to see a MC exploit that. Though, I suppose in this context it would be very similar to free use

I love the idea that everyone has to go through a "sex school" of sorts where they learn how to properly please a man/woman and all the different kinks/positions you can have fun with

What kink elevated to a societal customs would you like to see explored in a game set in an alternate world? Normalized incest? Nudism? Free use?

What games have done an unusually good job of doing this already?

Note that alternate world could be a full blown Alt-Earth, or our Earth but in the past/future, or an isolated community in our reality where things have gotten interesting but no one outside has noticed.

The MC could be a visitor who doesn't know the custom, or someone raised in it.

i think Free Cities (not sure if exact name?) is similar to this. it's like an ancap paradise version of Earth, where you manage a city and can set its laws and fashion and stuff like that, and that does include different taboo topics

Apparently on some island I heard about in Anthropology they DO have it set up where single women in their 30s or 40s teach teen boys what to do.

I remember a movie about a world where no one knew what lying was, but the MC started lying and everyone just took it as fact. That could be an interesting concept for an adult game.

How about looking at our closest relatives? Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas and Orang-Utans are all so closely related to us that human researchers can actually become members of their societies, and the only technical obstacle that stands in the way of them becoming members of human society is the fact that they cannot speak and cannot (easily) learn to communicate in human language in other ways.

Imagine a future in which one of these primate species has been 'uplifted' (or even all of them): They can speak with us, with or without the use of some special technologies. In a second step, mixed-species societies led to mixed-species marriages and the desire for real, genetically mixed offspring. This in turn led to various new phenomena, including societies that are very appealing for porn games and answer the initial question:

The members of such a society have mostly human ancestry so they look attractive to us, but some may have a remote ancestor of some specific non-human species. But despite humans being genetically dominant (or perhaps even everyone being 100% human), they live mostly as if they were non-human primates. In particular, most of them don't use clothes, or use them very sparingly.

• Humans living like Bonobos practice free love. Sex is an everyday activity comparable to a handshake.
• For humans living like Gorillas or Orang-Utans, every family unit is the harem of a large, dominant male.

A more realistic but more bold alternative: A group of human researchers infiltrates a large group of Bonobos and tries to fully integrate into their society (while mostly avoiding inter-species sex?) in order to learn exactly how it works. Another group of human researchers tries to become accepted by the local Gorillas as a Gorilla family. For this purpose they try to act exactly like Gorillas.

Honestly, a world without sexual puritanism and shame.

Don't tell me that sexuality doesn't exist in kids, it sure as fuck did in me, and in most other kids I grew up around. I first had and gave oral sex with a girl down the street from my grand-mother's house when we were both six years old. We hid under the porch and explored each other, panting and whispering, hugging and fondling. It felt like fucking magic.

More kids I grew up around were sexual than not, until we were "caught". One by one, each of us got found out, pounced upon by some shrieking moral crusader in a panic. It violates that magical feeling, corrupts that urge into something sickening, makes you think you're disgusting and horrible. It turns it into shame, and buries it in guilt. And you never see that kid again. It feels like death.

So depictions of a "loli/shota world", where people willingly, openly, and freely engage in sex, and no one is the least bothered? Where precocious kids play with and explore each other, and the only "intervention" by adults is for encouragement, or safety (actual safety like "use lube" or "wash up after"), where smiling grannies remind each other about their youthful explorations while looking on?

It's beautiful.

I don't mean where every person is constantly horny. But like a lunch table in a park or school where a handful are gleefully going at it and no one seems bothered.

I spent a lot of time feeling like a wicked little freak once I was told that having sexual desire was wrong. I've seen little girls get bawled out because they were diddling themselves or "playing doctor", or little boys get scolded for "nasty" behavior. I've seen their faces go from magical to shameful, and it's heartbreaking.

The idea of a world where NO ONE is meant to feel that way, where fucking normal drives and exploration is allowed or actively praised, where someone discovering their first-ever orgasm is applauded like when they took their first steps, first words, or earned their first trophy? It feels like it woul be welcoming and wonderful.

I love the idea of a game where you explore different social norms and expectations. So many games kind of do it, but then give the characters normal world behaviors. I love the idea of a game where men are expected to be pretty and subservient, or the idea of a woman being pregnant is a show of wealth and status, any kind of strange societal shift where you actually have to navigate the setting is great.

There's a few games that I can think of that really takes the idea and runs for it, but not nearly enough.

It could be interesting to see a dev create a world where fucking toasters and cars and inanimate objects is normalized.

I would love to see some type of game where, rather than the PC being the one going around seducing amd having sex all the time, have it be something like a zoo, but for people, where you go to visit, amd instead of animals in the exhibits, you have different groups amd ages of people doing different things, and it would be things all the way from just 'living life' all the way to the most depraved things you cam imagine, amd while.its all there, you only visit the exhibits you want to see.
