RapeLay



""In the past Hentai games have often catered to casual rape enthusiasts. These are perfectly normal folks like you, me and your next door neighbor who only leaves his apartment to buy canned meat and plastic tarps. I like to think of this audience as the "beer and pretzel" rape gamer. They're interested in a fun "pick up and play" rape game and they don't want to get bogged down in details. Then there are the rape grognards who want a rape simulator to be as realistic as possible. They want it to include accidental pregnancies, crying, abortion, threat of murder, fuel mixture, full elevator control, and pre-rape start-up checks. RapeLay is the grognard's rape simulator. It is the Falcon 4.0 of rape.""

- Zack Parsons Of Something Awful.com summing up the game's premise

Released exclusively on the Japanese gaming market on April 21st 2006 by somewhat famed publisher Illusion, RapeLay is the long and short of its title. It is a 3D eroge sim which revolves around a Chikan (pervert) named Kimura Masaya, played by you, who makes an attempted grope session with a young schoolgirl. He finds himself arrested for the aforementioned crime, but due to his father being an important politician with the right connections Kimura avoids spending much time and jail. You'd figure after his brush with the law Kimura would wise up and leave well enough alone, but instead he decides to get the ultimate revenge on the girl who got him arrested along with her mother and younger sister, and so begins the story of RapeLay.

The game is noted for its controversial themes, such as rape and abortion, which caused so much outrage in and outside of Japan that the game was pulled off shelves and stopped production three years after its release.
