Ladykiller In A Bind -- which Heather found to be a bold exploration of sexual experiences and perspectives -- is finally coming to Steam on January 10. It will be fully uncensored, despite the way Valve usually handles these things. For creator Christine Love, reaching this point wasn't easy.
Ladykiller in a Bind is full of sex. Naughty, dirty sex. It's a fun visual novel that let me explore BDSM and consent. For those of you feeling a little timid, the game's new update adds a few features to keep things PG-13.
Ladykiller in a Bind is a visual novel by Christine Love. It's about affection, sex, consent, manipulation and expression. Video games can often be a vector for experimentation and escapism. Playing Ladykiller in a Bind has taught me a surprising amount about myself.
A few exceptions aside, video games are pretty shitty at sex. It's often presented as a stilted, awkward "reward" or a tool for cheap titillation. It's also heinously un-sexy.
Some achievements are too easy, at times only requiring players to do mundane things like pressing start. Some achievements pose an actual challenge to players, requiring people to earn their digital trophies. And some achievements? Some achievements just aren't possible, no matter what a game might say.
