A gaggle of rich kids are thrown on a cruise ship, then told to collect a nebulous, imaginary currency collected by popularity votes by other passengers (The Stalker, who I affectionately named “Stalkie,” humourously parallels it to Bitcoin early on.) To say anything more about where this premise goes would give it away, though, and this is one game worth avoiding spoilers for. Which is the central conceit of the game, by the way. The pause screen is, in fact, literally a social media network that is pitting each character against each other in an elaborate, cutthroat popularity contest.
The role of memetic information in our daily lives plays a huge part as well – in particular, the prevalence of social media as it pertains to our shared knowledge of each other and the world we inhabit.
But as I said, sex isn’t the only piece of fabric that makes up Ladykiller in a Bind rich tapestry.
