A
controversial game turned cultural phenomenon
Nukitashi was originally released as
a visual novel for adults in 2018, and it quickly became a hit
thanks to its mix of humor, social criticism, and eroticism. The story is set
on the fictional Seiran Island, where an extreme law forces its
inhabitants to engage in sexual activity. The protagonist joins a resistance
group called No Love No Sex, determined to overthrow the evil
system that dominates the island.
The game
gained great recognition in Japan, receiving awards for Best Screenplay and Best
New Brand at the 2018 Moe Game Awards. Its sequel, Nukitashi
2, was released in 2019, and both installments are available in English
thanks to Shiravune, on platforms such as Johren and Steam.
