Even some of the more reprehensible acts you could engage in were both slowly exposed and crafted so that you could easily back out of them. But overall, these felt more like small missteps rather than core elements of the game, and so I was able to move past them and still enjoy other aspects of Huniepop 1. I recall how in the first Huniepop, you made a number of questionable life choices and Kyu made a number of very questionable comments about some of the girls, which I covered in my review several years back.
HUNIEPOP 2 GAMEPLAY SERIES
To be clear, this series has never been about finding a moral high ground and setting up camp there, I knew that and made peace with this going in. Worse yet, this porn-logic introductory stage offered the best writing I was going to see through the game. It was at this point I began to deeply regret the multiple inches of snow and ice beyond my door preventing me from going to the store for hooch, because no one should be expected to play a game such as this whilst stone-cold sober. Ergo, we have to fly to the island of Inna de Poona and try to coerce enough women there into morally dubious threesomes until we’ve generated sufficient fairy wings to set off the volcano, which will awaken the aliens and allow us to fuck them into galactic salvation. The problem (and I use that term very loosely here) is that our protagonist has only been having unprotected sex one-on-one, and thus requires threesome training before the aliens can be woken up. Long story short, Kyu the instructional sex fairy from the first game finds the unnamed protagonist from last time and relates the basic details of this situation to him.
Did I particularly want to start the game with a, “lol, angry women on their periods!” joke? No. Is this the worst porn logic in a visual novel I’ve ever heard of? Certainly not.
Apparently the only way to stop this destruction is to wake them up before their periods can begin and have someone engage them in a threesome so good it knocks them right out for another ten thousand years, periods be damned. Specifically, it’s fated to be wrecked by two hot aliens known as the Nymphojinn, who are set to obliterate the galaxy in a wrathful fit of PMS. Huniepop 2 opens with a dramatic cutscene explaining (with a tone so serious I can only assume it was for comedic effect) that the Earth is about to be destroyed. Do you remember that specific brand of vulgar blue comedy which was oddly popular in the early to mid 2000s? How shows on MTV or Comedy Central ( Drawn Together comes to mind) made exaggerated jokes about race/sex/periods/broken families that were branded as peak humor, but (then and now) were horrifically cringey and tasteless? Huniepop 2 seems like something written, drawn, and programmed within that microcosm of human history and unfortunately allowed to run loose on commercial release in 2021. Before I start this review, let me ask you something.
