When I read about this game, I was very sceptical. But I decided not to judge over something I haven't seen. So I asked my court engeneer to buld me a steam-powered iPhone (it has the size of my bedchamber). Once the apparatus was ready, I downloaded the game and tested it.

It's not this bad, but I didn't really like it. There are some things that disturb me in this oeuvre :

• First of all, the title "Seduce a Suicide Girl", the whole hunter-prey situation. Since the dawn of mankind, men have been (officially) the hunters and women the prey - I have seduced a lot of ladies at the court when I was younger. But I thought SG was all about women who are not bound to age-old role models of hunter and prey, who go their own way. This game, in contrary, shows Suicide Girls as "femmes faciles" like they say in France, as easy prey, as women who can be manipulated with some sentences.


(Well, I admid that Zoli's acting weakens somewhat the "hunter-prey" paradigm. The way she plays her role, she is rather the seducer than the seduced.)


• Secondly, this game suggests that there is a "method" for seducing, that you only have to speak the right pick-up line, say the right sentences, refuse the cigarette and accept the Cognac, and you can seduce any random woman you see in a bookshop. This is, of course, nonsense.



• I don't know whether it's the game or your time, but this guy is terribly impolite. I don't expect him to give the lady a kiss on the hand - but he does one faux pas after the other. When she presents herself he doesn't say his name. He opens a wing of the door for the lady - but then passes himself through the wing he opened, simultanously with the lady, instead of letting her pass first. He refuses her cigarette without giving a reason. He gives a lousy foot massage. He stares into her decolleté and does not even apologise when she makes a polite remark about it ("Do you like my heart tatoo?"). When they drink, he soesn't say anything like "I pledge you in this Cognac". When he follows her, he says loud something like "Wow, hot". And last but not least, he doesn't even help her out of her cloth... With games like this, how shall young men learn to become gentlemen ?



• I mentioned it before, the foot massage he gives to her is the worst massage ever. He doesn't know what to do with this foot, I guess he tries to milk it. When you massage something that hurts, be it a foot, a leg, a neck or a back, you should first feel with the fingers where the tense muscles are, and then remove the tension with well-directed movements and vibrations. It's obvious that this guy doesn't (excuse my french) give a shit about her hurting feet, he only wants to get what he wants. What are the chances that when he gets it, he will care more about what feels good for her ?



• Finally: Is this game only for men ? When you chose all the right answers, there is a sentence like "You could have picked up Zoli roe real except she is a lesbian and so not really interested." If a woman plays the game, this sentence does not make any sense at all.

To resume, this game leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth. I would dislike it - if Zoli weren't so damn charming. At the end of the day, her beautiful smile hinders me from regretting having purchased the game.
