Escalation!

Escalation! is a 3D animated visual novel that shows (erotically!!!) a boyfriend and girlfriend getting closer through BDSM. In a huge win for video games, one Steam commenter writes that this game has “the most positive male and female role models ever encountered in a video game.”

Indeed, you too might want to drip candle wax over your partner’s censored penis after watching Saki, the video game girlfriend, do it herself. But really, I feel that this game provides an opportunity to imagine yourself as both the dominant or the submissive instead of one or the other, which is a welcome change of pace. Like Didnapper 2, this game shows slinky ropes but no full-on nudity, so it’s also another gentle way to get revved up with BDSM,

Mistress Shayla’s advice: “BDSM isn’t always about sex! Most kinksters will tell you that BDSM scratches an emotional itch in addition to or instead of a physical one. Some people mix sex with their kink, and for others, sex is out of the equation entirely. Both of those viewpoints are valid.”
