The gameplay of LAB Still Alive is 2D platforming that places a greater emphasis on collecting weapons to combat monsters than it does on clearing difficult jumps. Old-school, yes, but monster rape old school. Rather, it’s a game where sex is built into the gameplay: you’ll take it as damage, and doing so unlocks CG content for you to revisit once you’re done playing and actually feel like taking care of business. Additionally, it is not a “have sex to progress” style of game, and it really can’t be played one-handed, either. Unlike other, more tedious H-platformers, LAB Still Alive is not a “die and get raped” situation, where the only way to access H-content is to get a game over (though “dying” always leaves your character naked). Within the context of the non-story (the game lacks even a single line of dialogue), you take control of a hot girl trying to escape from a lab overrun not just with vile monsters, but with the security forces and scientists that ran it and who are trying to put a lid on the contingency. LAB Still Alive, created by developer Neko no Meme, is a short, 2-hour 2D H-platformer in the vein of old-school ryona games. It’s not often that h-games are well-rounded, so when you have something that’s competently made in every respect, even if it’s not a masterpiece, it deserves thorough appreciation.
