To sum up the challenges are too easy. I didn't have any problems. Can you make it more difficult? For professional players it's too easy! That's just with me! :)
Mac version is broken. The game loads to a black screen whether it's a clean install new game or if I import saves. I have another Windows computer, but this is still a problem. I only wish you could do a Mac ARM version, but I doubt RPGMaker suppports that lol.
Hi! Is there an error message that goes with the black screen? If so, it might be a permission issue caused by security measures in your Mac. In that case, just moving the Game.app file to a different location on your machine after extracting it from the .zip file should fix the issue. Alternatively installing the game through the Itch app instead of downloading it manually should also solve it. Please let us know if this was helpful at all in case others encounter the same issue, and apologies for the inconvenience!
No error messages. Hitting "new game" or "load game" just fills the game window with black and no sound. Have to force quit the application. I moved it from downloads to desktop and same problem. It also locks up if I try to change any settings in the menu.
That is indeed strange. But try installing the game through the Itch app. If it's a permission-related error, then installing the game that way should fix it.
No longer an issue since I just got my first new Mac in eight years. M1 Max chip, and somehow it actually runs this game smoothly. A bit crashy, but it loads. Is this version of RPGMaker 64bit? It has to be for this to be running even under Rosetta2 emulation.
We just pushed the last closed beta version of v1.0.4 to testers, so you can expect the update to go live in a couple of days, unless they find any big issues in it
That depends on what you want :P If you just want to see the new things mentioned in the list of changes for the update, you can use the story crystal to jump directly to those parts of the game without restarting from scratch.
I'm thinking i wanted to replay the game from scratch but was waiting for an update to the game to make it more fresh of an playthrough. Thanks for the tip ! 😊
Hi! The v1.0.4 update is almost done and will likely have its last closed beta update today, so you can expect it to go public some time next week, unless new issues arrise. For more info you can see our most recent post on the topic here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/development-62904824
I just finished the game. It was a wonderful game. Thanks for all the developers. Just wanna give a few personal gaming improve adives. I wish the dev's can read this.
1. By any chance, could we have an AC binldfold? Just as the AC gag, it's one kind of blindfold with a strap on it. So It can't not be removed by player herself.
2.I wish we could have more Tie Upgrade play . Tie Upgrade is a wonderful idea. Somehow in current version, only the basic tie could be upgraded into Hottie and then further upgraded to Suspension. I wish we could have others same play. For example, we can upgrade Frogtie into Frogtie with pilliory. This will make the escape more real. It will make you think twice before you wanna assualt a guard. If I am a guard, of course I will uprage someone's tie, make her more painful if she try to assualt me.
3. Can we have a option to choose which kinds of level or ratio or tendency in real escape game (same as the one in camp). I mean in late chapter such chapter 15 or a clear game. The foes are supposed to use more AC bindind and some high level restrain to tie player. But the truth is, they are using basic tie, normal rope and bind my wrist with level 1 diffcult, fighting against my 60 level escape skill, seriously?!
How long until the next update? I'm really looking forward to the next version of the game. i wish some maps were more expanded, more pitfalls and increased difficulty. I really want the game to be perfect. thank you!
I recommend joining the Discord server if you want to monitor progress of game more and interact with the dev's. A link to it can be found on Steam page or DeviantArt group. My guess for 1.0.4 would be sometime in next few weeks.
Does anyone know where the save folder is ? I need it to update the game and not lose everything. I've heard it's in the patch notes but I don't know where exactly. I use a Mac btw
It's still a very good game with tons of bondage content and well worth playing – if you take it for what it is. Just don't expect it to be a direct sequel or the exact same thing Didnapper 1 was.
The heroes in this story do NOT abduct people, they only do it once (the priestess) and even that felt out-of-character for me and more like paying homage to the first game. A private prison wouldn't fit into the story concept at all. Only thing in this direction they could add would be to be able to do interrogation training with party members when camping but even that would feel like pure fanservice here (although I would welcome it non the less),
Can anyone help me with the Cardinal battle? I need to level up to fight him but if I leave the church to go find places to level up, I can't get back in the secret room of the church.
If there is a story crystal crystal available you can use that to go back to older areas. A lot of the time you dont need to grind exp but SP so your characters can learn better skills.
You'll notice your EXP gains scales down the longer you fight enemies at the same level, but SP doesn't. You dont gain any SP from sneak ambushes but only from winning battles.
Just finished the game, loved it and looking forward for future content!
Wanted to report some bugs I found:
- some typos in the Guide menu, specifically in the "tied" and "allied" description
- the Gallery commands are not working for me and pic 7 seems badly framed cutting poor Aden's face out
- using Inspect on the moth enemy in Todlaad shows a non round figure for the fire resistance (that's a lot of zeros!) causing the game to lag
- this is more a suggestion, but I'd consider adding gag talks sounds to the trader guild scene, just to make the choice of the girl a little more relevant ;)
They dont have this link anywhere on this page yet, but from the Discord they are using Github now to track all bugs found from public release of game. Some of yours are already pointed out but you found a few new ones too. https://github.com/PoisDesu/Didnapper-2/issues
I just found a little bug: In Malutina - East Cliffs, there is a bench. on the cliffs. You can sit on the bench, but if you stand up, you are stuck in the fence before it. I think, simply removing the fence or making the bench unusable would help.
Ah, finally, we can get Seles into something truly inescapable (you can only stand up and sit down again). Must be a bench Hephaistos made for Hera, much more effective than any AC-rope could ever be ;-)
Just don't press quicksave when you try out this bench …
I don't understand what you mean. She's in your party (joins automatically). In camp mode she sits SE of the fire. So when and where do you want to look for her?
There is no interrogation mode in this game. You can interrogate others 3 or 4 times in the story (later chapters), it's rather short until they talk and that's it, no toying around with them for fun. So nothing to compare with private cell in D1.
Did you equip casual clothes or maid outfits? With these on, the characters look like you described. Equip normal clothes and they should look like before.
Accidentally posted on update page, so here again:
Thanks for the 1.0.3. update. Nice bad ending for losing the final boss fight.
Bug remaining: when you win a battle with a tied up character and she levels up, you get a level up picture in which she is also tied, However, that does not work in all locations. Annoying, as I made it kind of a ritual while playing to try to always level up in tied-up state (using surrender at the end of the battle).
another thing: going back to chapter 1 fighting Zhara, making subdue unavailable feels like a cheap solution for the battle being unwinable. Even if she only does 1 hp damage all you can do is surrender. Why not give her a sleep or stun skill or make the battle winable but she pulls out some dirty trick afterwards to turn the tables on you?
I saved one at version 1.0.2. so do i need to start over or just copy from the old save to continue playing? I have now leveled the main character to level 60.
The cut-scene face-sets aren't viewable anywhere else, but the battle art are viewable from the "Enemy" menu. Can also blow up the enemy art in there by clicking on them. Sharpffffff's art from credits and this may or may not be released later outside of game.
Is there any chance to open the workshop on steam? That would be much simpler to make Chinese version or adding other mods by other players. Otherwise it might be a little bit difficult...
It's an rpg maker game so you can't exactly mod it like you would for say Xcom or skyrim, you have make a new version of the game to add the functionality that you want. Unless you want to keep backups of the base game files and replace the necessary files with the ones that were modified.
Where did you find the roadmap you are referring to? All I found for mod support was one line saying they were coming out with a mod manager in the faq section on discord.
I had the same problem, also with Mint. The "Game" (desktop) file does not work so you tried to run "Game" (the binary file) instead? Wrong (I made the same mistake first because it seems obvious). But if you take a look into the "Game" desktop file, it does NOT link to "Game" (binary) but to a binary called "nw" instead. (No idea why they did this, it seems confusing on purpose). So to run the game make "nw" executeable, open a terminal and run "./nw". Now it works.
In fact, I'm replaying it right now. It's also great and I cannot say which one I like better. They are different. D2 has by far the better escape and combat system, D1 has by far more details, feels more fleshed out, missions can be approached in different ways and things play out differently (while D2 feels completely straight forward (think of the "not-Romeo and Juliet"-sidequest in D2 and multiply by 50 to get the idea how D1 feels)). D1 also has the great private cell interrogation system where you can toy around with defeated bosses and even your team members to make them learn passive skills like Greater Masochism. It even has seasonal easter eggs like April Fool Events and a Christmas Tree in your base and a much greater love for small details than D2 which sometimes feels a little plain in comparison. Also well worth playing. But you need a VM with a minimal windows install if you want to play on Linux.
I don't know if that's possible because unlike Didnapper2 it's not a stand-alone-game. You'll also have to install 3rd party software to play it (some kind of rpg-maker libraries pack).
Right now it's a bit of a problem (limited storage), but it won't always be.
@DIDGames, could you upload DIDnapper here? If that's not an option, at least include the link @frisil provided (or an(y) legit\official download link(s)) in DIDnapper 2's page — with the information it's the first DIDnapper and any info on additional software\files that may be needed… As it's very likely this comment thread will get buried sooner or later.
One more thing: D1 is the true DIDnapper game. D2 is more about a classic hero voyage and borrows gameplay mechanics from D1 but there is no real reason why it's called DIDnapper. In D1 you work for a kidnapper guild and go on missions for them to abduct people. You can also go hunting on your own, abduct random girls in forests and earn money by collecting ransom. You have a guild hideout that feels like a homebase. It also has a hero story (main character is a princess who was betrayed and abducted on her way to her coronation but joined the guild of her captors to use their resources to get her throne back instead of being locked away forever) but basically you are part of one these bandit gangs you fight in D2.
I've thought about that too before (not a dev, so everything that follows is speculation). While I'd love that, I think it'll only happen if someone from the fanbase mods it, not in an official update. Would be a HUGE amount of time spent on mere cosmetics.
Will someone do it with mods? Quite possibly; there's been an (unreleased) maid outfit escape mod floating around for a while that looks really good. But it'll take a long time even if someone does do it.
I'd love to see it, obviously. But I don't think it's realistic, especially not in the near future. It was already a ton of work to do the one pose for four MCs in D1, this time there's six MCs and like four different poses, which on top of that are more fluid than the one in D1.
I completely agree. D1 had just one basic tie, D2 has chair, hogtie, frogtie, suspensions, poles, etc. Also, D1 only had legs, arms and gags to struggle with, so much more animation to do for D2.
The time would be better spent to make a meaningful interrogation system like private cell. For that it would be mostly dialogue to be written which is way less effort than drawing all these animations.
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".
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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?"

i alrd at the epilogue and try to tied up a damsel Zhara didnt gain any exp is it on purpose or error?
Would you have plan about the room to show female enemy or charcter's (with various clothes) standing assets and ending credit's assets after ending?
To sum up the challenges are too easy. I didn't have any problems. Can you make it more difficult? For professional players it's too easy! That's just with me! :)

About a month after the first update
↓ 2 months later
this update sometime during the next week
↓ 1 week later
some time next week
When is next?
We just pushed the last closed beta version of v1.0.4 to testers, so you can expect the update to go live in a couple of days, unless they find any big issues in it
Thank you. I understand.
Thank you for sharing the good news
Is it recommended to restart the game? (i have completed everything)
With the new contents etc :)
That depends on what you want :P
If you just want to see the new things mentioned in the list of changes for the update, you can use the story crystal to jump directly to those parts of the game without restarting from scratch.
Ahh okay i get it know!

I will try to wait for your product! thank you very much! :)
How long do I have to wait to play the next update? I can't wait for a big game changer. a really complete and engaging version! Thank you very much!
I think the developer should explain why the update is delayed.

Updated to chains means GG. :D
May be something like bondage maid adventure can be fun!
I think they should add more cutscene interactions with monsters. That all kinda ends after chapter 2.
I think it will come soon, the last update was in a month ago pratically. I'm impatient.

This is issue #46 in the Github link, and is said to be fixed for next patch.
Does anyone know where can i find Zhara after i finish the story?
I don't understand what you mean. She's in your party (joins automatically). In camp mode she sits SE of the fire. So when and where do you want to look for her?
Can you unlock interagation mode on the demo? And if not could you provide a way to do so pls?
There is no interrogation mode in this game. You can interrogate others 3 or 4 times in the story (later chapters), it's rather short until they talk and that's it, no toying around with them for fun. So nothing to compare with private cell in D1.
Dang it, that stinks, thanks for letting me know
Bug report: While playing chapter 14 Seles´s belts and Aiden´s pigtails disappeared permanantly in every graphic.
Did you equip casual clothes or maid outfits? With these on, the characters look like you described. Equip normal clothes and they should look like before.
Yes i equiped the casual clothes. But when i unequip the casual clothes and equip it again, the bug is gone.

Any chance the OST will be available outside of game? I love "Survival" when it played in game, and "Oversaturated" is a beast of a tune.
I saved one at version 1.0.2. so do i need to start over or just copy from the old save to continue playing? I have now leveled the main character to level 60.
just copy the old version's save file and it'll automatically patch the save version.
for reference, it's in the patch notes.
thank you very much :)
Sorry, I've tried to find the save file in the patch notes but I can't find it, do you know where it is ?

Could the graphics(normal and subdued) in the dialogue/battle battle part and credit roll be added into gallery mode?
The cut-scene face-sets aren't viewable anywhere else, but the battle art are viewable from the "Enemy" menu. Can also blow up the enemy art in there by clicking on them. Sharpffffff's art from credits and this may or may not be released later outside of game.
Is there any chance to open the workshop on steam? That would be much simpler to make Chinese version or adding other mods by other players. Otherwise it might be a little bit difficult...
It's an rpg maker game so you can't exactly mod it like you would for say Xcom or skyrim, you have make a new version of the game to add the functionality that you want. Unless you want to keep backups of the base game files and replace the necessary files with the ones that were modified.
If you read the roadmap, mod support will come to the game in the near future, alongside a mod loader that will simplify things
Where did you find the roadmap you are referring to? All I found for mod support was one line saying they were coming out with a mod manager in the faq section on discord.
Is on this very store page, after the entire description of the game
ok, that explains why I never saw it.
The Linux version for v1.0.2 is giving me a "TypeError undefined is not a function" on start up. Linux Mint 20.2 xfce.
Any suggestions to fix it?
I had the same problem, also with Mint. The "Game" (desktop) file does not work so you tried to run "Game" (the binary file) instead? Wrong (I made the same mistake first because it seems obvious). But if you take a look into the "Game" desktop file, it does NOT link to "Game" (binary) but to a binary called "nw" instead. (No idea why they did this, it seems confusing on purpose). So to run the game make "nw" executeable, open a terminal and run "./nw". Now it works.
Where can we get the first DIDnapper?
Didnapper 1 is free and you can download here:

In fact, I'm replaying it right now. It's also great and I cannot say which one I like better. They are different. D2 has by far the better escape and combat system, D1 has by far more details, feels more fleshed out, missions can be approached in different ways and things play out differently (while D2 feels completely straight forward (think of the "not-Romeo and Juliet"-sidequest in D2 and multiply by 50 to get the idea how D1 feels)). D1 also has the great private cell interrogation system where you can toy around with defeated bosses and even your team members to make them learn passive skills like Greater Masochism. It even has seasonal easter eggs like April Fool Events and a Christmas Tree in your base and a much greater love for small details than D2 which sometimes feels a little plain in comparison. Also well worth playing. But you need a VM with a minimal windows install if you want to play on Linux.
I'd appreciate if the devs could upload it to itch.io and maybe link to it so people can appreciate/access it easier.
I don't know if that's possible because unlike Didnapper2 it's not a stand-alone-game. You'll also have to install 3rd party software to play it (some kind of rpg-maker libraries pack).
That's not a huge deal for many people.
Right now it's a bit of a problem (limited storage), but it won't always be.
@DIDGames, could you upload DIDnapper here? If that's not an option, at least include the link @frisil provided (or an(y) legit\official download link(s)) in DIDnapper 2's page — with the information it's the first DIDnapper and any info on additional software\files that may be needed… As it's very likely this comment thread will get buried sooner or later.
One more thing: D1 is the true DIDnapper game. D2 is more about a classic hero voyage and borrows gameplay mechanics from D1 but there is no real reason why it's called DIDnapper. In D1 you work for a kidnapper guild and go on missions for them to abduct people. You can also go hunting on your own, abduct random girls in forests and earn money by collecting ransom. You have a guild hideout that feels like a homebase. It also has a hero story (main character is a princess who was betrayed and abducted on her way to her coronation but joined the guild of her captors to use their resources to get her throne back instead of being locked away forever) but basically you are part of one these bandit gangs you fight in D2.
Not quite correct. You are part of this bandit gang, you met, aber don't fight again ;)
But Neverheless, I miss these private cells. I dont't want just capture the enemies, I want to toy around with them too!
Okay, I wasn't precise, what I meant was: You are part of a bandit gang LIKE those you fight in D2, not specifically one of them.
BTW, are you on a German writer's forum? I think I saw the same user name there and writing "aber" (indicating you could be German) made me wonder.
Hopefully we get updates where we can try escape training with the other characters
I've thought about that too before (not a dev, so everything that follows is speculation). While I'd love that, I think it'll only happen if someone from the fanbase mods it, not in an official update. Would be a HUGE amount of time spent on mere cosmetics.
Will someone do it with mods? Quite possibly; there's been an (unreleased) maid outfit escape mod floating around for a while that looks really good. But it'll take a long time even if someone does do it.
I'd love to see it, obviously. But I don't think it's realistic, especially not in the near future. It was already a ton of work to do the one pose for four MCs in D1, this time there's six MCs and like four different poses, which on top of that are more fluid than the one in D1.
I completely agree. D1 had just one basic tie, D2 has chair, hogtie, frogtie, suspensions, poles, etc. Also, D1 only had legs, arms and gags to struggle with, so much more animation to do for D2.
The time would be better spent to make a meaningful interrogation system like private cell. For that it would be mostly dialogue to be written which is way less effort than drawing all these animations.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?"
