Dearest cohost, I bring to you an incredible discovery via the "Files Found" blog: someone who bought a SNES RPG Maker game which turns out to have had on it a complete RPG named "FORCE OF SEX":
do severals, be severals. how it is
- any
what's up, gull and such here, recent "wait there's more than one of us" realizers. whoops!
still giant robot fans, still pmd: explorers enthusiasts. imagine we are wearing a big button that says "ask us about Void Stranger". you should play all the games we like right now. the media backlog continues to grow ever further, and finally fucking continuing Initial D slips further and further out of reach.....

this is absolutely legendary. the force of sex is truly overwhelming. god sure can be killed and replaced with the force of sex
I'm pleased to report that FORCE OF SEX is one of those weird eroges that's actually a legitimate ass game
Per the article, "Rail" (レイル) is clipped from "Railroad" (レイロード) which is either picking a cool-sounding foreign word without much care for its meaning or (less likely) a joke about games that "railroad" the player. The other names seem to be generic fantasy fare, and the animals are based on onomatopoeia: "Minya" ミーニャ incorporates ニャ "meow"; "Kerorone" ケロロン incorporates ケロ "ribbit"; "Kokeko" コケッコ is clipped from コケコッコー "cock-a-doodle-doo" (compare "Cucco" コッコ in the Zelda games).
I think the TTRPG "railroading" term is a bit too new to show up here. From some quick searching it seems like early citations are around 2004, which is a decade too early for this, and I don't think English TTRPG terms would have been making it over to Japan outside the tiny TTRPG niche.
I got that, I was more referring to the unintentional(?) pun on, uh, railing
it is surprisingly difficult to find actual etymology on that let alone whether it would be known in Japan
Haha, yeah, I'm genuinely wondering the same thing.
Edit: Also, this is the second RPG-ish character design I've seen named Rail? I wonder if there's any kind of common influence at play here or if it's a total coincidence
I think there's more chance it's taken from Lost Universe.
I'd make an Okcupid profile name joke but honestly I'm not nearly on the level of FORCE OF SEX
