I was surprised to see that the second set of dialogue options after a few introductory exclamations were so terribly, stereotypical “I don’t know how to talk to women” quips.
Unfortunately, no matter which you choose, the default personality trope for your character is a hapless, dateless loser who comes off as an overeager and socially awkward idiot. I chose to play as a woman, though you can play as male or female characters. With a background in explicit hentai games and a penchant for dirty storytelling, I figured I’d find something to like. the prickly character Audrey calling another girl a “whore ass bitch” ( written by Koons himself.) It was like Baby’s First Swearing Contest, and went against HuniePop‘s supposedly more “realistic” dialogue.īut the more I thought about it, the more I had to see the game for myself. That, and with every new trailer HuniePop seemed a lot less interested in being a light, fun adult game and more of a shocker for the sake of getting attention, i.e. And given the fact that you never know what kind of randoms you’re dealing with on the street these days, it’s probably not the safest way to chat up women. It’s just not something I ended up finding entertaining. While the strategy worked for him much of the time in the video, and some of the women involved definitely had a good time with it, I’m sure I would have decked him had he come up to me asking for a hug or a kiss, never politely acquiescing for physical affection I don’t owe anyone.īut I don’t speak for every woman, and it could be super cool to do those things in the dating world right now. I watched the bizarre exploits of developer Ryan Koons, whose HuniePop “Field Research” video called forth visions of a person I could only see as a character: King Douche of Fedoraville, someone who walked up to strangers and asked for hugs, kisses, dates, numbers, and what-have-you in the name of “research” for his game. The many times I ventured to the game’s Kickstarter (where it earned over $53,000 in funding) only served to effectively flatline my interest, however. And yet, given my interest in visual novels, eroge, and adult games, I still wanted to see what it was all about. We laughed about its unfortunate character designs (Kyanna has one arm tucked beneath her breasts permanently like some sort of disfigurement), dialogue, and the creator as well, because it all seemed like a legitimate joke. It seemed much more like a parody of dating sims rather than one to actually be consumed and enjoyed.
Why is this important? I’ve been in a tumultuous relationship with this title ever since I was passed a link to its Kickstarter page via IM from a good friend of mine. So, with the dearth of concrete information out there on the game and articles quick to judge due to some objectionable content, I’ve decided to bring you this piece, which seeks to explain and narrate my time with the game. It’s colorful and raunchy, and I’ve spent a lot of time with it over the past day or so after purchasing a copy for myself.Īfter completing a couple of girls’ dating paths, I’ve come to the conclusion that I rather enjoy it. It’s available now for purchase via Steam and other distributors in both censored and uncensored versions. HuniePop is a dating sim/puzzle game created by HuniePot, an independent studio. I’ve been following HuniePop for a very long time. In which I cease judging a game by its hunies
