Closed Game [Final] [Empress]

Closed Game started off promising with a catchy rock song, kind of how an anime would start… I think, because I’m not into that stuff. I was into this game for the first few hours… until I wasn’t. The people who came up with this story and developed it are deep under the influence of Satan and his demons. I’m not just saying this. I genuinely believe this, because a person with a healthy mind would never come up with such outrageous, cruel and sadistic stuff. Yes, I’m well aware of some of the dark games I’ve played – and enjoyed – on here, but that’s not going to stop me from climbing on my soapbox right now and going off on this game. I won’t let my own hypocrisy silence me. If anything, in spite of it all, it just shows I still have a conscience.

I didn’t keep track of time, so I’m not sure exactly how long it took, but I think it was between 3 and 4 hours before something sexual finally took place. Bear in mind I didn’t skip through any text and let all the voice characters speak their lines before proceeding. Still, that’s a lot of text to go through! A lot of it was unnecessary too, if you ask me. This might work in an anime or a book, but not in a video game; especially not an AVN.

When the first sex scene happened, it turned out to be a rape scene that lasted for 1,5 hour. Yes, you read that right – 1,5 HOUR! THAT’S THE LENGTH OF AN ENTIRE MOVIE! The rape was horrific and very sadistic and it didn’t help that the evil part of my mind had selected the most innocent girl to be subjected to it. The panicky soundtrack playing in the background made me uneasy as well. To make matters worse, 3 of the 4 girls in this game are virgins. The whole scene genuinely upset me and I felt anger and deep hatred towards the antagonists while playing this game. I soldiered through this nightmare for the sole purpose of seeing them get their comeuppance and I wanted it to be equally brutal and sadistic if not worse.

Unfortunately, to get the ‘true ending’ you need to follow certain paths in a couple of playthroughs. This means you need 6 separate save slots to unlock all endings. Luckily, you can skip through the text you’ve already read before (move your mouse cursor to the top of your screen). I spent hours and hours to unlock this ‘true ending’ and when I did it was hugely disappointing. The antagonists never get their comeuppance. As a matter of fact, they get REWARDED. It pissed me off.

It’s one thing to play a game like this, but it’s an entirely other thing to come up with such vile garbage and spend time turning it into a video game. It makes me wonder if the person who originally came up with this story hates women, because the rapes are sadistic and VERY descriptive. They inflict as much pain as possible, to the point the girls almost get raped to death. Oh, and by the way, you, as the main character, are also not exempt, because you get raped as well (although this happens off-screen).

Now let’s get into the voice acting. I genuinely don’t understand why some women would lend their voice for something like this. Your character is getting brutally raped and you provide screams and moans for that. You could argue that it’s ‘just a job’, but that doesn’t justify it morally. A hitman also does ‘just a job’ when he kills people in cold blood, but that doesn’t make it praiseworthy.

Finally, as someone who read the Bible, I saw a Biblical parallel in this game. It’s about earth and heaven. I’d compare the antagonists to Satan and his demons, who eventually get cast out of heaven, only to continue their evil practices on earth. Too bad the developer didn’t follow through with Revelation and gave the antagonists their proper punishment. That would’ve been the only thing that could’ve redeemed this abhorrent game. Now it’s just a hours-long nightmare with an unsatisfying, bad ending. Evil wins. The end. It left me drained, slightly traumatized and wondering what the hell I was doing with my life.

Fuck Empress and fuck JAST USA. May they all experience what they produced and let’s see then if they still think it’s entertaining. No mercy for these fuckers.
