Boyfriend Dungeon Stalking Content Warning Will Be Changed To “Be More Accurate”

Content Warning: Mentions of stalking, emotional manipulation, and consent

Kitfox Games has been facing backlash for their content warning at the start of Boyfriend Dungeon, an indie, dungeon-crawler dating sim that has rapidly become popular amongst gamers. The current content warning reads as follows: “This game may include references to unwanted advances, stalking, and other forms of emotional manipulation. Play with care.”

The content warning above refers to one of the characters in the game named Eric. Eventually, you must deal with Eric in order to complete the main story, and doing so involves issues with consent, stalking, and emotional manipulation, as Eric is one of the game’s villains.

While some have called for the content to be removed from the game entirely, others have defended its presence in the game, asserting that covering these kinds of topics is important. Kitfox Games will not be removing the content from the game, but they have acknowledged that the content warning should have been more specific:

The content warning for Boyfriend Dungeon inadequately describes the events of stalking and emotional manipulation that exist in the story. We'll update the game next week with a more accurate CW. We apologize for any hurt inflicted by our mistake. Thank you for playing!

It hasn’t been specified exactly how the new content warning is going to appear, but it will likely delve into more detail about what exactly you’re going to come across through playing this game. Content warnings are important, and it’s refreshing to see Kitfox games taking the feedback seriously.

Boyfriend Dungeon has already been quite successful since its recent launch, and the game has been praised for understanding the importance of exploring sexuality. Boyfriend dungeon has diverse and inclusive characters, and the game allows the player to craft a character that they feel represents them in terms of gender and sexuality. This is a big step up from countless other games—dating and non-dating sims alike.
