Beyond the Second Wall v1.1.0

You know that feeling when you're scrolling through itch.io at 2am, half drunk, and you click on something because the thumbnail has a girl with absolutely massive... eyes? Yeah. This game has that energy. The art is 2D, kind of rough around the edges, but somehow that makes it hit different. Like finding a doujin in a back alley server that nobody talks about but everyone has saved. The setup is your standard dystopian walled city where people get bought and sold, whatever, we've all played Slave Maker. But then the game asks you to name your protagonist and I typed in "Garbage Boy" as a joke and now I'm genuinely invested in Garbage Boy's moral descent. The writing is around 16k words which isn't massive but every scene feels like it's holding eye contact with you a little too long. There's this one animated scene with a character I won't spoil where the sound design alone made me check if my headphones were plugged in properly. They were. My neighbors probably have questions. The relationship system tracks whether you're being a protector or an abuser and honestly I started out trying to be nice but then the game presents you with these choices that feel like a dare. You can train characters with kindness or cruelty and the corruption paths only trigger if you let them which is a nice touch because sometimes you just want to see what happens when you push the red button. The harem elements are there but it's not the usual "everyone loves you for no reason" thing, you actually have to work at breaking people down or building them up. There's pregnancy content, lactation, BDSM elements, and a whole management layer I didn't expect that made me feel like I was running a very unethical startup. The NTR stuff is planned for future updates but the voyeurism and exhibitionism scenes already in there made me feel like I needed a shower. In a good way. I think.
