La Petite Mort is a one of a kind digital erotic experience designed for touch. Its simplistic style and musical design will move you through the sensual and erotic sensations, ending in a cacophony of musical climaxes, you never thought were possible on a touchscreen. La Petite Mort is a female stimulation simulation, and often games that try to tackle this subject is made from a male centric viewpoint, along with the antiquated view on how games should be designed, with competition being a necessity – what we definitely wanted to stay away from was “how quickly can you make the woman cum”. I do not share notes on “performance time” with my friends and definitely not with my partner. It is much more about the experience itself. So our thoughts went much more into how to make the actual pleasuring, pleasurable. This is why we have made a couple of design decisions to enable the player to take it slow and savor the moment. When a player does this, something magical happens: The “game” is no longer perceived as a game and the finger movement on the screen, slowly, sensual, while the music is building in intensity and reacting to your touch, is suddenly perceived as an erotic experience, with the bonus of a climax in the end; Literally and musically.
