nihongo|"RapeLay"|レイプレイ is a 3D hentai game made by Illusion. It was released on April 21, 2006. Compared to Illusion's previous games, the main story is shorter, it features an improved 3D engine, and is mainly played through mouse control. RapeLay also has a "nakadashi" (Creampie) counter. "RapeLay" is played from the perspective of a chikan named Kimura Masaya, who stalks and subsequently rapes the Kiryuu family (a mother and her two young daughters). The player can choose from a variety of sexual positions, and controls the action by making movements with the mouse or by scrolling the mouse wheel. There is also a danger of pregnancy with vaginal intercourse.

Characters

Kimura Masaya

Kimura Masaya is a chikan who stalks and subsequently rapes the Kiryuu family (a mother and her two young daughters)

Manaka

Manaka is Aoi's younger sister; a girl with short black hair who wears a blue dress. The player can make her wear cat ears so she can meow and/or produce cat noises.

Aoi

Aoi is Manaka's older sister; a brunette girl with long hair who wears a school girl uniform. The player may choose to have her hair in a ponytail or down and free-flowing.

Yuuko

Yuuko is Manaka's and Aoi's mother; a brown-haired girl with short hair who wears a green shirt. Yuuko also has the largest breasts, and optionally can wear glasses to make her produce virgin/nerd sound effects.

tory

In story mode, the player rapes the three girls in the order of Manaka, Yuuko, and Aoi. The player starts off in the train station. Upon entering the train, the main character commits chikan on the female the main character is currently in the train with. After the main character finishes raping all three girls, the players has the option of free play H scenes.cite web |url=http://jsemts.twbbs.org/view_en_error_rapelay_ZmV1ZXJkcmFjaGUncyBDb21waWxhdGlvbiBSYXBlTGF5IFdhbGt0aHJ1IENvbGxlY3Rpb24gRmluYWwgMTAwJS50eHQ=.html |title=feuerdrache's Compilation RapeLay Walkthru Collection Final 100% |accessdate=2008-04-09 |publisher=JSEMTS ]

The story begins with Kimura being arrested for groping Aoi on a subway train. His father is an important politician, and manages to get his son released from jail. The next day, Kimura waits outside the Kiryuu family house and listens to their conversation. He follows Manaka, the youngest, to the subway and gropes her on the train. After getting off the train, he traps her in a public bathroom and rapes her, taking pictures of her semen-covered naked body with his cell phone. Kimura instructs Manaka to feign sickness the next day, and stay in her room.

The next day he follows Yuuko, the mother, from her house to the train station where he fondles her on the train. Kimura follows her to the city park, when Manaka calls Yuuko on her cell phone. As per his plan, Manaka tells her that she is in the bushes at the park, and when Yuuko walks towards the bushes, Kimura ambushes her and ties her up. He then rapes her in the park, and takes pictures of her semen-covered naked body before handing her over to his gang of helpers on the side, who detain her for him.

The third day he follows Aoi, the oldest daughter, to the train station and shows her the photo of her tied up mother. Shocked, she can only follow his orders as he gropes her on the train. After getting off the train, she asks Kimura why he is doing this, at which point she remembers he is the chikan who was arrested for molesting her. Getting on a vehicle, he and his helpers take Aoi to a hotel which his family owns, and rapes her, again taking photos.

After having his way with Aoi, Yuuko and Manaka are taken into the room via a secret door. With all 3 captured, he reveales his plans to make them his sex slaves. Of course, Yuuko tries to cover for her daughters, but breaks down in the end, Manaka breaks next, and finally Aoi as well.

Gameplay

After completing the storyline and "breaking" the girls, there are six modes of gameplay.
*"Nozoki mode", where the player watches the girl wait in the subway station, and upon saying a prayer, can blow their skirts up with the wind, exposing their underwear. After certain achievements have been made, the player has the option of removing the girl's clothing as well as inserting vibrators, but no touching is involved. cite web |url=http://jsemts.twbbs.org/view_ct_error_ape_YnVubnlnaXJsJ3MgUmFwZUxheSBGQVEgNS00LTIwMDYudHh0.html |title=bunnygirl's RapeLay FAQ |accessdate=2008-04-09 |publisher=JSEMTS ]
*"Chikan mode" is similar to Nozoki mode, except the player goes into the train with the girl and fondles them.
*"Two player or "2P" mode", in this option, the player can have sex any one of the three girls. The main character is in danger of being killed under certain circumstances, but there are no level restrictions. There is also an option of different sex positions including oral sex.
*"Five player or "5P" mode", where the player is restricted to one sex position, with three other males raping one girl during group sex. The level restrictions for this mode include locations with small space.
*"Shippo", also known as "3P" or "4P" mode. In this mode, the main character is able to have sex with two or three of the girls at once.
*"Neko-Kappa mode" is not playable, and can be only viewed in the Botuplay Extra CD. But the original idea is that Neko-Kappa mode allows the player to have one or two girls tied up in bondage and perform a rape on them.

Endings

Despite being an open-ended game, there are two possible "negative" outcomes to the game. In the "Black ending"cite web |url=http://www.illusion.jp/support/rapelay/index.html |title=RapeLay Overview |accessdate=2008-04-09 |publisher=Illusion ] the main character impregnates one of the girls and decides to keep the child. The result is having the main character thrown onto the train tracks after a certain number of days afterwards. In the "Red ending" just before breaking Aoi, the character under cowgirl position will shift onto a scene, where Aoi would take a knife and stab the character many times. The scene will shift into black, where a voiceover of Aoi can be heard.

Controversy

Critics of violent game imagery, such as British MP Keith Vaz, have cited games involving rape as an example of why video game content needs to be more strictly regulated [cite web |last=Arendt |first=Susan |url=http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/03/uk-politician-c.html |title=UK Politician Claims Games Feature Virtual Rape |accessdate=2008-03-25 |format= |work=Wired ] . Reviews by Something Awful and Honest Gamers express horror at the basis for the game.
