THE HOUCHI PLAY -THE 放置プレイ- Reviews

thank you fo rmaking this non functional i will never be able to enjoy this masterpiuece because of you now i have nothing left

Oh man. This will be part review and part manifesto. Does Steam have a limit to the length of reviews?! While you may only see a few minutes of me playing this game, I've actually logged hours with The Houchi Play when it was on the XBox 360 Indie Games store. Pretty sure I paid $2 there as well, or whatever the equivelant in Microsoft Points was. In "The Houchi Play" you play as Taro Heibon, an IT engineer in City X. A family man who secretly desires to be treated like a pig, a dog and otherwise humiliated by girls in cosplay outfits. To accomplish the goal, you engage in a butt-scooting simulator punctuated by brief drinking games (with a boost power-up for perfect chugging). Do so to creep up on the ladies when they're not paying attention. Different girls have different patterns and behaviors. It's kinda a stripped down sneaking version of Punch-Out. You have to learn the different character's (somewhat limited) tells and sneak around based on that. The pixel graphics a great and harkent back tot he NEC PC titles of the 90's. Solid soundtrack and the controls feel good. The depth and difficulty is on par with an arcade game, replayability only for novelty or highscore hunting purposes. Kohei Gallery had a few titles on that marketplace and the one thing they all had in common was irreverant charm. There's something about wacky ass, Japanese video games that the world is currently lacking. It might just be me on my old man soapbox, but there was a time where a small team or a single person could create a game. That offered unparalelled freedom compared to what you'll find today. Games are big business. When a publisher is spending hundreds of millions of dollars, they're not likely to take a lot of risks. It saddens me that you just don't see bizarre Japanese games like the days of old. Games like The Houchi Play give me hope that the world hasn't given up on making weird video games. I'm thrilled that Kohei Gallery is now on Steam and can't wait for more.

I played this game for a very short period of time . But long enough to decide that for me at least it was Just not very interesting .The game has as far as i can tell Has no nudity or anything that your average person would consider sexual although the game does have a deviant sexual theme . It did not have the game theme that i thought it had . Fair warning due to the nature of the game this game review will be discussing deviant sexual practices . I decided to give the game a positive review because it does deliver exactly what it says does on the store page. But not in the context I thought it would there is nothing else to the game . Other than what is presented on the store page . The games theme is female domination and public humiliation used in a BD/SM context At the start of the game you get a game screen that tells you that Taro is a super masochist . That likes to be verbally abused by Cos play girls . community screen shot http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1104390335 The goal of the game is to move Taro as close as possible to the Cos play girl while her back is turned . Presumably Taro can be close enough so he is unable to escape the verbal abuse the Cos play girl will give him. Once you move Taro as close as possible to the Cos play girl she turns around and Taro smiles . I did not Think that the games theme would be one of male sexual humiliation and female domination . I thought this game was going to be about a shy guy approaching girls and trying to pick them up . before you purchase this game look at lets play videos on you tube to decide if this is something you want to spend your money on.

There's not much going on in this game. The gameplay couldn't be more repetitive: do two drinking QTEs as you creep along the screen to the girl, repeat 5x per girl. There's no interesting environmental interaction or visual queues. The game doesn't even lean into the player character being "super masochistic," once you finish a stage everyone's all smiles. He never really seems to get abused, verbally or otherwise. Not very fun, only sort of marginally funny thanks to the intro text.

This game is a great time passer. it is absolutely stupid lol. but allot of fun. gameplay here https://youtu.be/drVsL9LiuOo Pro's -animation -music -the real lols cons -short -small content/gets repettitive

This is a weird and silly game but it passes the time and is kind of fun. The only bummer is that I could only play it on my older Windows 7 computer because I could not get it to work for Windows 10. Simple and fun game though. Some gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr36mFFa_5Q
