The story revolves around two college students; Robin and Alicia, who after seeing a terrible Bound and Gagged Damsel in Distress scene in a movie, Robin suggest Alicia to tie her up to see if she could tie better knots. Their little game eventually becomes both a passion and a business when they create a forum for bondage enthusiasts where they get paid for photo commissions. Eventually, a third girl named Celine joins them after revealing her interest in bondage.
When not following the story, the gameplay changes to a minigame named Sessions where the player has to dress, tie and gag the girls to complete photo commissions in order to unlock the next chapter of the story.
The game's story is told from Robin's narration and excerpts from her diary, while the player is given the choice of being caring towards Alicia or prioritizing their bondage business, which can lead to two different endings.
The game has a relatively light-hearted tone with romance, drama and comedy sprinkled in.
The game can be bought on both Itch.to and Steam for PC, Mac and Android.
The game contains the following tropes.
- Amazonian Beauty: Celine is stated to be very muscular in comparison to both Robin and Alicia since she's a volleyball player, goes regularly to the gym and is stated that Celine gets as much commissions as Robin.
- Animesque: The art style is inspired by anime.
- Author Appeal: The game was made by softcore bondage enthusiasts of the Damsel in Distress kind.
- Bittersweet Ending: In the ending where Robin cares more about their business ends with Robin and Alicia slowly drifting apart after graduating college with Robin regretting not having told Alicia about her feelings for her.
- In both endings Celine "is left behind" as she puts it after graduating as she stays in town while Robin and Alicia move away to get jobs in the city. However, in the Good Ending they keep contact with each other.
- Bondage Is Bad: Invoked. A major fear of Alicia is that people will judge her negatively if her love for bondage goes public, Robin claims that she doesn't care as she's proud of it and making money.
- Bound and Gagged: The main theme of the game is about two friends discovering their passion for bondage and making a business out of it.
- Brains and Bondage: Alicia is a downplayed example, she enjoys consensual bondage but prefers to study and only does bondage to earn money.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: In the special event added post-game, the girls are asked to tie and gag themselves and pose in a bikini, Robin states that she doesn't have a bikini for Celine's larger breast size, something that flusters Celine who immediately tells her that she can't talk about her stuff like that.
- Childhood Friends: Robin and Alicia have been friends since childhood.
- Covert Pervert
- Robin has been this since childhood, having a passion for bondage since the day she was tied up when playing cowboys and indians with Alicia.
- Celine was always tied up by her older brothers when she was young and started liking it but eventually her brothers drifted apart as they grew up and she was left with a desire to be tied up once again.
- Creator Cameo: One of the random commissioners is named Kendrianus as of Kendrian, one of the lead developers of the game.
- Double-Meaning Title: The title refers to both the actual act of binding and the changing relationships between the characters.
- Erotic Dream: Robin always wanted to tie up Alicia since childhood but she never asked her until the events of the game.
- Fanservice: The game was made for softcore bondage enthusiasts so it's a given.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: Once Celine is introduced, you will notice that out of dozens of commissions, only a few will ask for Alicia while the most of them will ask for either Robin or Celine. This becomes a plot point later in the story when Robin notices this.
- Guilty Pleasure: Alicia and Celine see their love for bondage as this.
- Hair Colors: Celine's hair color is dark purple. However, it's stated by Robin that her natural color was blonde meaning she dyed her hair.
- Incompatible Orientation: Alicia didn't knew about her sexuality due to her focus of her studies for most of her school life. Eventually she would date a Football jock but would dump him after two months due to not really feeling a thing for him. It wouldn't be until her college years that she would finally discover that she is a closet-lesbian but still gets asked by men for dates.
- The Internet Is for Porn: Implied by Celine with Robin saying that what they are doing is way less pervy in comparison so they shouldn't feel ashamed about it.
- Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: The bad Bound and Gagged Damsel in Distress scene that Robin and Alicia see at the beginning of the story is clearly from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon with a shot of a bound and gagged April O'Neil with her eyes blocked with a censor bar.
- Minimalist Cast: There are only three onscreen characters; Robin, Alicia and Celine.
- Official Couple: In the Good Ending, Robin and Alicia become a couple and are still together after graduating college, eventually moving together to a city.
- Tomboy: Celine who is more of a competitive sports girl.
- Self-Deprecation: Celine believes that their commissioners are a bunch of "pervy losers". Little does she know that the game was made by and bought by "pervy losers".
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: Everytime Celine implies to Robin that she has feelings for Alicia gets this reaction from her. However, in the good ending they become a couple.
- Video Game Caring Potential / Video Game Cruelty Potential: A major feature of the game is how you treat Alicia during the course of the game, leading to two different endings.
- Virtual Paper Doll: The Sessions mode that allows the player to dress, bind and gag the girls with a variety of different clothes and bindings to complete photo commissions and earn money.
