This is an old (and trimmed) review I wrote almost immediately after playing. The original version was posted on VNDB on 2023-08-30 and was over the Steam's character limit (literally over 9000 characters), so I was too lazy to post it on Steam back then. I'm reposting it now because Dōkyūsei 2: Winter Heat was just announced for an English release. I went into this game expecting a comedic porn fest. I wanted to ease my stress by looking at beautiful women. I did not expect this game to have even a drop of consciousness. But it not only had consciousness; it had almost too much of it. It made me think and ponder things described below. Unspecific spoilers ahead (very specific for Mako). Note that I'm a woman, and this game was clearly not made for me. How do men see women? I've always had a firm belief that the male POV in anime and sensual movie scenes exaggerate a lot for the sake of fantasy. All those gliding gazes up and down a limb or a curve, notes on how her hair or skin smells, the out-of-this-world softness of her flesh. So here I go playing this game, wanting to strangle the main character for looking at girls and literally drooling as if they were platters of juicy meat, and then my husband says, "Yeah, that's completely normal. You always smell nice." I'm like, what? The fundamental differences between male perception of women and female perception of men are astounding. It's foreign, alien, un-understandable. The gut reaction tells you, this is wrong! He is a creep! He is a sexual deviant and does not deserve any attention from women! It was discouraging and, honestly, heartbreaking for me to hear from my husband that this is normal, and I just applied my own version of normal to Takurou. After this shift in perspective, I started to see the good things about his behavior, which were invisible to me before. He (almost, but more on that later) never forces a girl to have sex with him. He doesn't promise a commitment until the very end of the game or route, and sticks to the woman he chose in the happy endings. He believes in sexual liberty for himself, and, which is more important, for the girls as well. He never admonishes them for having sexual experience, the scale of it, sexual preferences or, on the other hand, inexperience, shyness, aversion to some aspects of the act and the like. He cares only about the woman in gestalt (have you played Signalis yet?), and forms his approach to her while accepting everything about her. I think this was the moment Takurou crept into my heart. Never-ending lust When Takurou said he's experienced, my jaw almost dropped. He pursues every skirt in the vicinity with such reckless abandon, I thought he was a parody of the virgin trope. And then my husband says, "No matter how much sex you have, you don't ever tire of it. You never stop trying to get more." What a cursed existence! But I always thought that humans have too big of a frontal lobe to act like bunnies in heat. I thought wrong. We are still, biologically speaking, extremely developed monkeys. Too little time has passed since our monkey days, and, bearing that in mind, I have to say: men are astonishing in their urge management. Women with and without experience So, Takurou is a huge horndog, which is pretty normal for his age. This means he's going to bone every girl in the game. This is why they are in the porn game, right? Wrong. The devs just didn't care about checking boxes. Sexual content varies from girl to girl, and it further proves the point of Takurou's acceptance of them. Some are very into sex. Some are not, and that is fine. When the credits roll and there is (no) sex, you just quote the wise man: "Woo Yeah Baby! That's What I've Been Waiting For!" The coolest thing about it is that it doesn't apply just to virgin heroines. Consent and Objectification - Mako (goddess) route This is something the game makes painfully clear, and it is beautiful. Sure, Takurou finds almost any girl (he's not really into loli) sexy, but the sexiest of them? Definitely Mako, with her golden hair, lush eyelashes, meaty thighs that spill over her stockings, her alluring smile. A woman who puts so much sexual pressure on him that he just doesn't come close to her during first encounters. So he rapes her. I think this is something that must be experienced for yourself if you pick up this game. I won't elaborate further. Happy endings This is a porn game, so it should have at least one harem ending, right? NO. This is a porn game, so every ending should be happy, right? NO. This made me think about what the authors really wanted to say about relationships and the future for a young man (who is the primary target audience for the game, no doubt). I think it is very important and intentional that the game takes place just a few months before graduation, one of the first major crossroads in one's life. Equal standing The most difficult route from the gameplay perspective forces you to confront the question of idealization of women. The particular vocabulary used in the conversation would suggest a narrow take on the issue - general avoidance of seeing women as truly human (as opposed to otherworldly, angelic beings), but I think that the issue is deeper than that and several endings are the extension of this conversation. What do I mean by equal standing? I mean as human beings. There are routes where, in varying degrees, Takurou idealizes a girl he ends up with. This leads to him not only busting his ass off and burying himself in work, but also overlooking the actual human he is in a relationship with. The nature of her very existence is something that has been decided from the start, and he doesn't even think about going deeper. All he is concerned with is to prove himself, to be worthy of being with her. But does he really know her? Is it worth it? Sure, she may be contented. But is that really what this is all about? Caring for someone you perceive as being precious and fragile This could be interpreted as idealization or non-equal standing, and it is the latter to some extent, but not the former. It's amazing how the writing communicates his gentle wish to protect the girls without making them uncomfortably dependent on him. One other aspect that plays into this theme is having children. Not every gentle homely girl is shown having a kid, and having a child is not shown as the standard for a happy ending. How very modern of them. True equality I think the most impressive routes end up with two people loving, living together and admiring each other, while each pursues their own interests in life. Takurou may still be up to his neck in work, but in this case it feels meaningful, he is doing something for himself rather than for an idea that isn't even remotely true. Equal levels of affection There is a route in the game, where, in the moment the ending was playing out, I was so enraged, my hands just moved to grab my hair and I sighed in frustration. I thought this wasn't fair. How can all that happen in the game lead to Takurou being what I feared him to be - a sleazeball and a cheat? After cooling down, I admired the writers for having guts to show, in a porn game, of all places, the reality that not every relationship can work out. No matter how attracted you are to the person, if you don't like them as a person strongly enough to move through the pain of communicating and getting to really know each other, everything is going to go to waste. When you start having thoughts about regret and getting things to work out, this is the only flag you need to stop and actually look at the person beside you. I think this is all. On the end note - does Dokyuusei have a true end? Yes, it does, and it is Reiko
seems like an absolute steal while on sale for ~$8 or less all i did was boot up the main menu, listen to the music in the menus, and look at the way they had the diff info for the girls arranged and i could immediately feel that it is brimming w/ genuine quality and serious content volume that was enough to immediately earn a positive review relative to the price i have a lot of stuff to play through at the moment, but I will definitely loop back around for this one. seems like it will be a great time
