Rinse and Repeat is a 2015 erotic video game by independent developer Robert Yang, described as a "steamy first person showering game about giving a hunk a helping hand". Developed by Yang as a "fantasy about consent and safety",[1] Rinse and Repeat features a procedurally generated schedule in which players are only able to interact with their virtual partner at times set by the game. The game received positive reception from reviewers, with praise directed to the game's use of time and waiting to represent consent and respect, and as a homoerotic commentary on the male experience of communal showering.
Gameplay
Set in a gymnasium communal shower, Rinse and Repeat is an erotic game in which the player uses a controller or cursor to scrub a virtual partner on various parts of his body. The game features a procedurally generated schedule system in which a gymnasium bulletin board features the real-world times that the partner will be present, repeating across one hour on every day of the week. The player is required to wait until these times occur to play the game. When the partner is present, players can scrub him in various areas of the body, with the partner providing feedback on the accuracy and intensity of the scrubbing. At the end of a session of scrubbing one part of the partner's body, a percentage score is provided, with satisfactory sessions filling a heart meter. Once the player has filled the meter over three sessions, a scripted sequence occurs and the player completes the game.[2]
