    the setting is an important part of the narrative too. the tasteless commodification of sex is absolutely relevant to the overall story the game is telling.

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I’ve never seen gender or relationships be relevant to the story of any game I’ve played.

          V’s gender is entirely irrelevant in the fact that they are either male, female, or neither- because it doesn’t matter- And not one romance or relationship option has fuck all to do with the plot. It’s just side baggage and annoying cringe.

          You can complete the game and not have ever had a single line of dialogue on relationships.

          Therefore?

          Irrelevant.
