About

RapeLay (レイプレイ, Reipurei) is a 3D eroge video game made by Illusion, released on April 21, 2006, in Japan. Compared to Illusion's previous games, the main story is shorter, features an improved 3D engine and is mainly played through mouse control. The game centers on a vengeful repeat sexual offender who stalks and rapes a mother and her two daughters. Three years after its initial release, the game garnered international attention and controversy for its content, resulting in it being banned in several countries.

Gameplay

RapeLay is played from the perspective of a recently-bailed chikan named Masaya Kimura, a recidivist sex offender who has a history of previous arrests and also happens to be the son of a high-ranking public official. With his release, he stalks and subsequently rapes the Kiryū family: a widowed 42-year-old mother named Yūko and her two daughters 17-year-old Aoi and 12-year-old Manaka.

The game's Story Mode centers around Kimura who rapes (in consecutive order) Manaka, Yūko, and Aoi. After the player finishes raping all three women, they unlock Free Play mode, where the player can engage in consensual sex with the same three women in a variety of selectable stages.

Story

Aoi Kiryū catches Masaya Kimura raping a woman on a subway train, leading to his arrest by the authorities. The next morning, she and her younger sister Manaka help their mother, Yūko, find a wallet she lost around their home while talking about Aoi's incident the previous day. Unknown to them, a recently-released Kimura secretly eavesdrops on their conversation while waiting outside their house alongside a companion; Kimura reveal at this point that his father, a well-known influential politician, managed to bail him. When Kimura discovers that Yūko is widowed, he decides to exact revenge, starting with Manaka.

After following Manaka to the subway station, he gropes her on a train. Leaving the train at the next stop, he traps Manaka in a public bathroom, rapes her and takes photos of her naked, semen-covered body with his mobile phone. Masaya instructs Manaka to feign sickness and stay in her room the next day.
