Will Genie return? Compared to the return of the protagonist group of 1, I still hope that Genie will return in the future.

Maybe a mummification too

Hello!

Could you add some more bondage positions like balltie or jackknife in the escape system?

Deleted 1 year ago

You may get better support joining and detailing your problem on DID Games Discord server. From someone having same issue there with full game here's what they said fixed it, "...I get these same errors if I drag the full "Didnapper 2" folder into "Applications," but not if I drag the application itself (i.e. the icon that just says "Game"), which seems to work for some reason".

Full Review for Newcomers:

One of the best games I played this year. Really, not joking (okay, maybe with the exception of Persona 5 Royal, but Didnapper 2 was still more fun). Classic JRPG retro style which plays like older Final Fantasy titles just with bondage mechanics. You don't just strike down enemies, you wear down their HPs and tie them up then. Same goes for your party members, a battle ends when one side is in bonds, but defeated characters can be freed by others. The combat system is really deep, there is status ailments, elemental attacks and weaknesses, buffing and debuffing, etc. Losing a battle doesn't always result in game over, often you'll be taken to a dungeon where you have to struggle out of various bondage styles in a mini game in order to escape. You can even a lose a battle on purpose (surrender-option) to be taken into the enemies hideout without having to look for it. The escape system is a also deep and requires strategy (interacting with guards, looking for items like shards, getting other prisoners to help you or just struggle). There are different body parts you can struggle with to free them (leg-bindings for walking around to look for items, gags to be able to communicate with others, blindfolds in order to inspect your situation). When you free your wrists, you escape. But you cannot always do that first because other bindings can make wrist-struggling nearly completely ineffective or even inaccessible. So it's much more then just a button-pressing minigame. At some points in the story you can interrogate other characters (even use light torture like slapping or tickeling). The interrogation system could be deeper and be used more often but it is still fun (although this part of the game felt like a big disappointment as I had much higher expectations here). The interrogations system is only used 3 or 4 times in the story (if I rember correctly) and that's it, therefore it feels a little pointless and not like a real game-feature. I hope it will be expended in the updates.

Storywise the game is also good, a low-fantasy setting with some twists and betrayals which I will not spoil here. It might not be the best fantasy story I have seen in a classic RPG (when compared to Xenogears or Chrono Trigger) but it's entertaining and a lot of work was put into the characters and it never got boring.

Do not mistake this game for some run-off-the-mill-hentai-fetish-nonsense, it's a real RPG with deep mechanics and just a lot of damsel in distress content. This (being a fetish) is the ONLY sex-related thing in the game, no one gets raped, severely tortured or even completely undressed. Really refreshing when compared to other games with fetish content. This one could still get a PG rating if you ask me. It's also not too short, you might be able to speedrun it in ten or so hours, my first playthrough took about 50 hours as I took my time levelling up and exploring everything.

Overall, a really great game. If you are into deep retro-style RPGs and bondage, it could be considered the holy grail and is an absolute must-play! It's DRM-free and there is also a Linux port. Please don't pirate it, support the developers to make more games like this and it's well worth the money they ask for. I even paid more because I found a $20 too cheap for such a great game. There is nothing which compares to this one (except for its predecessor which was also great, but Didnapper 2 has a much deeper escape and better combat system). Only thing I was really missing was the private cell system from Didnapper 1 (where you could interrogate teammates and other characters for fun and practice) and bad endings. In Didnapper 1 losing boss battles gave you several bad endings, in Didnapper 2 you'll just get a simple game over screen. Hey, just play both of them if you haven't already. It's really worth it.

Although not being perfect (interrogations part) I still rated it 5 out of 5 stars.

Greatly enjoyed the game, but the final boss is almost unbeatable. The mechanics are kinda broken and I spent my entire inventory to win after 20+ minutes of trying just to stay alive. Please nerf the rocks or that binding move.

(2 edits)

I just tried again because people keep saying that. The final boss fight is okay as it is (IMHO), with the right strategy you can beat her in just about three minutes with only a few large potions and some dispel dusts for curing status ailments. Look some posts further down where I explained my strategy to someone else. You can even silence her with Eileen's final gale spell (Grohl's Fear or something like that) to prevent her from using any special attacks. In fact the fight is quite easy if you know what you're doing. Also don't forget to use your coin cards to permanently increase luck or temporarily boost it with a spell or equipment, as a high luck stat will make it much more unlikely to get stunned by the rocks.

(1 edit)

Having just completed Didnapper 2 I'd like to replay Didnapper 1 again. Is there a Linux port by now? I'd like to play on my main computer (which is a Linux-only-machine) with the big screen the same way I played Didnapper 2, not on my small Windows laptop.

If there isn't, do you plan a re-release for all platforms on Itch? Although Didnapper 1 was free back then I'd gladly pay the same amount I paid for Didnapper 2 if there was  a re-release running on Linux (without having to install Windows in a virtual box).

Can any one post a pic of the enemy list starting with the stromm bandit as it says i am missing quite a few.

Replay bug: If you go back with the story crystal to chapter1 and win the fight with Zhara, Seles will still be Zhara's captive after the battle although it was the other way around when the battle ended. This felt out of place as there was no explanation why the tables got turned. You should add a short scene in which this happens because I think many players will go back to see what happens if you beat Zhara that early in the story. You could even make it result in an alternate joke-ending: Zhara gets locked up on the island, Elize never finds out about Seles and the story never happens.

(+2)

That fight is still intended to be unbeatable and no winning scene exists yet. If they do add one, Im sure it will still up with Seles getting chloroformed and story proceeding as normal.

Any advice on escaping suspension ties without making a sound? Going for level 4 escape test in CRC and can't seem to make it work.

Maybe you can charm the professor and ask him to help you. That is how I cleared escape test 6. But based on my experience whether you make a sound, or not might be part of your luck (or maybe it is related also to Guard strictness).

Falling down from suspension almost always causes the guard to come in and tighten your remaining ropes. I think it's part of the challenge. Only if you are extremely unlucky they will hoist you up again, most often they just fasten your connection rope. If your escape level is high enough you'll have enough time to get out of suspension at least two times in this challenge as you'll get certain bonuses (critical hits (green flash), one extra second + delayed start per struggling and halved distraction penalty are the most helpful). Use camp to level up at least until you enable criticals (pressing a button fast enough will result in a green flash and at least double the effect). If you want, you can abuse the camp system to level up really fast by setting up a very short and easy challenge with "impossible" difficulty.   Use chair or frogtie and set everything to max except for wrists which you set up that you can still easily get free in 3 turns, then set timer to 9. Voila, "impossible" difficulty, very easy to get out in a few seconds and you'll level up on almost every try. A high escape level makes every escape challenge in the game feel like a walk in the park and you can even toy around with guards to make them angry on purpose. Later in the game I was missing an option to ask a guard explicitly to give me a harder challenge, something like "your ropework is an insult to my escape skills, can't you do any better?"

(+1)

It took me 30 hours to finish, and I loved every moment of it!! It is an awesome game, and I will still have some fun with escape training and so on..

Can't wait for the future updates, and I really hope that we will also see other great games in the future from DID Games :3

It took me even 55 hours as I always levelled up in an area until enemies didn't give me any significant amount of EXP anymore before moving on. I know I could level up faster by advancing the story earlier but I wanted to get everything out of every area without rushing it. I waited so long for this game and it felt so great playing it that I wanted it to take as long as reasonably possible. Now I’m really looking forward to the post game content in the updates.

I tried that, but the game would just bump all the enemies up close to whatever my "OP" level was and the fun went away. Still haven't beat the final boss. Really really stupid fight. I want challenging, not unbeatable.

The game only does that when going back to older areas and only to a certain extend as there is a limit. I often found myself quicksaving before going into fights and pressing F5 (reset to title and reload) if enemy levels where too low to still give me EXP. Enemy levels fluctuate for about 10 levels in each area and it seems random what you get. Even if you have bound captives with you to bring into the fight for easy EXP and item drops, they can be level 38 in one fight and 45 in the next or vice versa.

The final fight is far from unbeatable, read my tips a few posts further down if you're struck. I found it quite easy to come up with a strategy here and took her down on my first try,

Okay, maybe I was just lucky, I'll replay it now. No, wasn't luck, I took her down again without any problems. Only Aden got tied up after being stunned near the end when the boss had only 2K HPs left, but three more magic attacks from the others (with MATK buffed once and MDEF debuffed twice) where enough to still take her down easily before she could pwn anyone else.

I have found a bug!

After Chelsea joins and I go to Escape training with her, the game thinks it's Eileen, all of the conversations and events are the same, even though she looks like Chelsea.

Interesting, I got a different bug with Chelsea: When I entered the tent for escape training, Arden came in an told me I can use AC-Ropes now although she was not with me at this time (still on the ocean on the chroma ship).

(+1)

Overall, I loved this game. It took everything the first game did and amped it up to 11.  The new characters were really fleshed out, and there were never any places where the story dragged.  If the development team sees this, thank you for all your hard work.

(1 edit)

Any tips on beating (SPOILER) Elize? I've been stuck on her for a while and I'm playing on easy with my entire party level 50 

(Also is she supposed to be able to capture people who are around 600 health? If it is it's pretty broken, as after she does that she takes down everyone in a few turns)

(6 edits) (+1)

I also was level 50 and took her down on my first try on normal without major problems. So either I was very lucky & you extremely unlucky or it's a matter of strategy. I used Seles and Kaie as magic damage dealers and Arden and Eileen for buffing, debuffing and healing. There is this water spell (I forgot the name) for constant healing (regen) you can get from a tarot card so always have it active and use large or medium potions if anyone gets seriously hurt. Don't underestimate buffing/debuffing as it's almost as effective in Didnapper 2 as it was in SMT Nocturne. Although Elize takes little damage from darkness still use Arden's Darkmatter Attack (dark or bone crystal) to keep her MDEF debuffed twice and use Eileen to also buff your MATK twice. Seles and Kaie will do a LOT more damage then.

Also make sure to go into the fight fully rested. After defeating Zhara you can go back and get captured for a last refreshing stay in the dungeons (yeah, I know there's a bed in the castle but beds are for losers). Just make sure you don't fight anyone while going back to not waste any CPs on the way (okay, you could also refresh CPs with items before going in but I never did that to save my chroma crystals for a fight I might need them in (but I never did).

Oh, I forgot: She can take down party members instantly if they get stunned. If that happens cure the stun ailemt ASAP and if it's too late stop attacking and focus on healing and freeing the person who got tied up as you need everyone. Eileen's spell to fill half of someone's ATB-meter can help a lot to make  your party member with the highest rescue skill act quickly. (BTW you can also utilize stunning attacks to take down female enemies quickly although it doesn't seem to work on bosses (but sometimes on their support characters, I could take down both of King Byron's retainers that way without having to wear down their HPs)),

Hope that helps.

Thank you, it took a few more tries but with your advice, I was finally able to beat her.

How can I use items while escaping? (like dagger, etc)

(+1)

The game automatically uses the best one you have :)

Finished the game, it was great. I hope in future they add escape challenge with different party member. And of course new cloth as well

Bug report. 

After completing the main story I remembered the zhara fight from chapter 1 that was impossible to win at the time and wanted to see if anything would happen if I did win. Using the story crystal I went back and won the fight but the game continued as if I had lost with seles tied up and getting ready to be taken on the ship. 

After the dialogue the screen goes black. The music continues in the background but the game won't progress. I tried rebooting the game but everytime I attempt to load this save file I am taken back to the same black screen. Clearing my Mac's system logs and restarting it did not help.

The save file is broken/stuck now unless there is a patch for this

(-1)

I discovered the updated v1.0.2 bug fix update and moved my save file over to that version and I still have the same problem. This save file is still stuck

So if anyone else is thinking about going back to win that fight don't do it

Did you only use one save-file? *shock* Never do that in RPGs or games in general if it's possible. Speaking from past experience, this is not the first game where a savefile could get stuck. I always switch to a different one every few hours I play so I can go back to an earlier one if that happens (or I realize I missed something important).

(1 edit)

I have finished the game, wonderful.

But I must point out that there are too few types of female enemies in the last few chapters, which reduces my interest in playing. For example, the priestess has several pixel models but only one image. 

Hope our great DID Games can provide more pretty girls for us to capture!

(+1)

This game is awesome!
I always make the ropes tighter, so it is harder to escape :3

(+1)(-1)

love the game, just miss the personal dungeon

(+1)(-2)

the game is great. Thank you game team. I've been waiting all year. hopefully in the future the game team will continue to develop the game even more. By the way, has anyone opened all the pictures yet? let me have a look. Thank you!

May I ask if the game producer has the script of the lines in the game? If so, can you contact me?

Bug report on linux. I bought the game on steam (proton experimental) and the game freezes from time to time. And also weird glitches. 

Bug report: if you're fighting in the camp against Chelsea with the Steal skill purchased, the AI using it on any party member causes an error message to appear.

Where should we going after defeat Eliza, I have no clue where to go next?

(+1)

That is all of the main story for now. More post-game content should arrive in following year.

Bug found: If you do not save in the section asking if you want to save while progressing to Chapter 1 with the Story Crystal, a black screen is maintained and the process does not proceed.

Bug report (freeze (in v1.0.2)):

In the library, when you ask the guy downstairs to cause a distraction, he wants to do it and tries to run off to the north (up the stairs). If you ask him standing in his way, you'll block his path and the game freezes. Not fatal because you can reset and reload but annoying if haven't saved since entering the library.

(+1)

Bug report:(not fatal bugs)

1. At the beginning of Chapter 7, I could select Zhara as  guard in the escaping training(camp) even I have NOT met her again since Chapter 1. A little bit illogical?

2. Again at the beginning of Chapter 7(camp), after fighting with Kaie,  Kaie with awards(just next to Greywind bandit) disappeared in the Enemy list. (Kaie without rewards (next to Liliana) unlocked) 

(-2)

Ok so to download the bugfix update file, i have to spend $19.99 and buy the game again!?

(+3)

Back to the top of the page, you could find the "Download" button under "You own this game".

(+2)(-1)

Thank you! You are awesome!

(+1)

Excellent game!

Is there any guide for this game? 
List of quests, or anything that can be missable?

No walkthrough guide yet, that I know of. Nothing in game is missable or hard to find, though one side-quest has a much better choice between its 2 options.

Where can I find tech support? The game worked fine for the first few days but now it always crashes within 30-60 seconds after startup. It's not just one error either but multiple. Restarting my mac does not help.

(1 edit)

I'm also running into an error on Mac, it's trying to write to a place where I can't change permissions as administrator. The application is in a normal Applications folder, which starts off as:

Error: EROFS: read-only file system, open '/private/var/folders [...]

Have you tried running the game from the terminal by right clicking on the game, selecting show package contents > contents > macOS. This gets rid of some errors for me. For the rest i had to clear off the junk and system logs from my mac using the CCleaner app. The game works for me again for the time being

Their public Discord should be more help as well. They don't have link here on this page but it is on the Steam Store page.

Anyone else struggling with the Alyssa / Dariana fight? My whole party is lvl 25, same as them, and they're just wiping the floor with me. What am I missing?

I ended up lowering the difficulty to easy (I was on normal). Not what I would prefer to do, but it works.

(+1)

I would guess you were missing training Seles to use smokescreen and keep the two constantly blind/confused, while Eileen saves all her CP to heal and Kaie also blinds whenever both the confusion and the blind from Seles misses or wears off.


Besides that, generally when fighting several strong enemies, focus all fire on one, then as soon as you bound her, secure her bindings at least once. Then you really don't have to worry about her anymore (Alyssia didn't even struggle, she just glared all the time. Maybe the AI decided its hopeless)

(+1)

Finished playing the whole story. But why some plot is missing when facing Eliza. She just mention the child is seles and i think there are more conversations before

I had the exact same bug! I enterd the throne room, the screen went black and it continued mid conversation!

(+1)

That was a bug that was fixed in v1.0.2. Our apologies!
I recommend updating the game and using the story crystal to play that scene again.

(+1)(-2)

Is there any cheats ? 

(+1)

Bug report : When i step into a silk worm in a map next to Micihuatl, i got teleported back to Micihuatl. I can't upload the screenshot. The silk worm is located on the left of a bulletin board.

I don't know how to do the lost necklace mission. It's a simple side quest, but I couldn't complete it after searching for it all day.

And I'm very sorry that I'm asking questions like this, because I can't think of a proper place to ask game-related questions.

I'd like to know too because I couldn't find it either.

(+1)

It took me a while to find.  Look for a small white diamond on the floor.  It was half hidden behind a lamp post when I found it but I don't know if it appears in a random place each time.

In what location you can activate it?

It's in Capulet - Factory.  Small diamond located behind a lamppost in the section with stacks of boxes and a wagon.

(+1)

Did you remove the escape test feature from the full version? :o

(+2)

It's still there, wait until you get your camp. However, there is (at least) one escape feature you cannot choose from the camp menu which you can get in the game (doesn't happen that often but I wouldn't call it rare either).

(+4)

Never thought a game with such a weird premise could get me to genuinely care this much. The story is very well written, the music beautiful and the mechanics (though hardly anything praise worthy) are engaging enough that i never felt bored or annoyed at them. Each party member has a colorful personality (Including the main character) and a sexy design (excluding Eileen, whom i only want to hug).
The game took me a good 20 hours to finish and i would happily play it for another 20, though in the future, i hope the option to play as the other party members in the escape mini game will be added.

Also, is there a post game?

(+1)

The only real post-game now is revisiting old areas with your now full party, having ability to do any side-quests you haven't done yet, and redoing story parts through crystals. They have promised more sidequests and endgame content for free so long as you already paid for game already.

As for using other party members for escape, we will have to rely on fan-made mods most likely.

(+1)

I see. Thanks for the info!
