The story is literally impossible to convey without including the cub characters and/or other extreme fetishes, at least three characters (that I can remember) who are story critical are cubs, other characters who are story critical are cub-fuckers and discussion of such is involved in story related events. Sorry but you really can't have the story without cub, it's an integral part of the narrative. I'm not even a huge cub fan but it doesn't really bother me either, just have a stronger constitution. They're literally not even flesh and blood cubs in the narrative of the game, they've all existed for 60~ years.

Don't you think it's a bit silly to be up in arms about a game that you not only haven't played but know almost nothing about? In my opinion it has a really interesting little story going on. It's part porn, part character study, part mystery. Half the fun is trying to construct the backstory from the little bits you learn as you go on. But if you don't put a lot into it then you won't get a lot out of it, like anything.

Already read articles and watched plays; I've never been to prison but I know it isn't fun. The dev himself said that he imported several art pieces from furfags and used their stories they wrote, so again, bad deviantart-tier fiction. It's not original content, this is half the "game." Imagine if I made a visual novel where I just took some excerpts from e-books from classical literature and posted images I found off google, then packaged it with some background story. I'd have a better time just reading the books themselves.
>In my opinion it has a really interesting little story going on
You're not really selling me on this here. There has to be an underlying reason or cause to make it worthwhile, and actually worth playing. If I tried to make a movie and told people "you should watch this movie because its in english and you can understand it" not many people would come, being the bare minimum is not enough to make something "good." it might appeal to you, but maybe your taste is just shit. Furthermore, visual novels are just choose your own adventure books in digital format, so I don't consider them to be games, just interactive stories. I don't consider it gameplay.
>>87452
Read this: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Paraphore
I'm willing to bet the devs themselves wrote this article on it to give them more credit than they're worth.
>Paraphore is somewhat of a self-aware satire on extreme kinks you find on the internet
I'm not sure contemporary critics understand the nature of satire, see, satire is used to ridicule people, things, morals, etc. as social criticism to encourage change in society. What exactly is this supposed to be satire of and what is it supposed to change? "Hey guiz there's lotsa weird porn on the webz xddddddd" Yeah, no shit, you realize your target audience are furfags, right? So your idea of ridicule is fetish shaming people? And what is this supposed to change, what is the underlying message here? "Your fetishes are bad because they're weird and make me uncomfortable, so stop drawing porn and writing erotica" Great, so your idea of positive change is censorship. Maybe that's not what the devs meant to communicate, but that's what it's implying whether they know it or not.
>Underneath that, however, it is a cyberpunk post-modern adventure about many subjects ranging from nihilism, determinism, tragedy, the nature of perversion, and immortality.
Then the entire underlying deviantart background is unncessary and only added for shock value.

They're not undertones at all, and while it probably seems "apologist" to brainlets who don't understand depth, I actually think it's a deep exploration of how pedophilia affects and warps the psyche. The world of Paraphore isn't exactly a happy or good place.
Also, I know nobody likes to hear this argument, but all of the characters are 66 years old. This is reiterated multiple times in the story.

You're supposed to want to learn about the history of your character and 'the real world' and where Paraphore comes from (in universe), and about the backstories of the main characters. You can learn the backstory from some events and from finding log files that show what happened in the history of Paraphore. Then eventually story events start to happen.

20 days late, but whatever, didn't even know this thread was here.
Page 2 is from a "wandering" scene in the violet meteorite, same with 5. The last two "white events" (before the blue/bright forest entries) I assume you're referring to are Page 16 and UNDEFINED. Page 16 is obtained from the floatillery during the...let's say "ending sequence". Som's seed is also obtained here, if you type the correct thing at the end of it. UNDEFINED is obtained from the pause menu (the Mynt face in the upper right corner of the hud).
As for Marei's seed, their seed, along with any other seed, can be obtained from replaying the scene via the daydream journal. So you can get the Privacy ring, turn it on, and re-do the scene and get the seed without having to manually translate a bunch of text.

It was pretty okay. Beat it in a few hours. I agree, there was a shitton of pedo apologism in there for seemingly now reason (who the fuck cares if an A.I. is a "pedo"?)
Tried the next game (Interphore?) and holy shit, the design got worse somehow. The interface is bad and the writing, while not all that good before, seems to have gotten worse as well. It's also wordier, but every screen says something less important.

The only scenes I can recall that have anything resembling "pedo apolgism" is the Som dom scene (which only justifies its occurrence within the game's game, although given who the player character is, I'm not sure how that and the associated guilt would've developed?), and the Mynt ending, which involves one character trying to calm another character down who's experiencing a bit of a catastrophic existential crisis.

Except for the AIs that the programmer fucked up on, and the ones that are immortal often wish for death. Also, the computer system running the game is running out of power and the world has been mostly destroyed, so they'll all die soon

This isn't actually true, the Earth is fine, it's just humanity that's fucked off (or at least most of it)

Actual porn wasn't playing in mainsrteam theatres.
There were indeed theatres-- as in with a big screen and seats-- many of which used to be regular movie houses, which had converted to porn, but (a) they were ONLY playing porn, and (b) many got shut down as cities decided they didn't like them, they were too close to schools, etc. And though they've mostly gone away, some of these still exist.
50 Shades was the closest to softcore porn to show in non-porn theatres in recent years, though it's not THE first. There was "I Am Curious (Yellow)" and "I Am Curious (Blue)" in the late 1960s, which had nudity and (simulated) sex, and were run in some regular theatres.
