I think there's a good attempt here at making a more thoughtful adult game. While a lot of the writing didn't work for me in style or structure, and while I found the red-lit intertitles to be clumsy, there's an earnestness to Doomsday Dreamgirl. For one thing, there's the way that writer and developer Nadia Nova considers what intimacy and sex mean for the characters involved. Another is the resonance between the characters' desperation for physical and emotional intimacy and a deliberately undefined apocalypse outside their shared walls. I'm not sure that Nova has a full grasp on what, exactly, is being expressed with the emphasis on domination and masochism. But hey, a willingness to at least try and portray the complicated and messy emotional dynamics of kink within a hurried queer relationship has more to it than most depictions of sex and romance in videogames.
