GAME: Sensei (RIP in peace)
CHARACTER NAME: Never even had a fuckin chance to come up with one
I was browsing my screencaps for post ideas when I came across this little gem - the header image for developer GelonG's Sensei. I saved this almost two years ago, back when the first version of the game came out. This first version didn't have very much content (this is the model for most porn games - release a short slice in order to generate interest (and hopefully some steady Patreon dollars) and then keep up regular updates from there) so I decided I'd save the header as a reminder for myself to play it sometime in the future when it was closer to completion. The header was so bombastic, so garish, so deliciously TASTELESS, that I was convinced that the final product would go down as one of my all-time favorite bad porn games without breaking a sweat.
Fast-forward to ten minutes ago, when I attempted to locate Sensei to check on its progress, only to discover that GelonG's Twitter, Patreon, and Itch accounts have all been scrubbed from the face of the internet. Looking at the game's thread on hugely popular porn game ripping/archiving forum F95, it looks like he disappeared without explanation sometime in August of 2021. I'm gutted, man. I feel like that putz Charlie Brown 0.5 seconds after missing the football. The F95 thread does have the last build that was uploaded before GelonG disappeared, but I'm worried that playing the incomplete version will only make my longing for the theoretical finished version that much sharper. Sometimes, this world is a dark and dismal place, filled with ghosts and spiders.
By way of eulogy, please read this reproduction of the game's description, and then mourn however you feel appropriate:
You play as Richard (or yourself. The name can be changed). The game begins with a confusing moment. Richard has locked himself in the lab and is preparing to die. He understands that he cannot stand against this "enemy". Before he dies, he decides to remember his story. Remember the decisions that brought him to this place. And also think about what would have happened if he had made other decisions in his time.
In the game you have to go through the path of Richard. Become a husband, teacher, coach, massage therapist, detective, secret agent, porn director and much more.
Each of your choices will affect the story (to a greater or lesser extent). This story depends on you, perhaps you will go through the story in a different way, and Richard will remain alive. And perhaps you will go the way of Richard, "stepping on the same rake". It all depends on you.
If you remember anything from this post, remember that: It all depends on you.
