[edit] Overview
The game is set in post-WWII Germany. The player takes the role of either Kia Welbehenna or Louise Hardwich, members of an agency. The two are assigned to specific targets, which range from members of the KGB to aspiring soccer players. The primary goal is to seduce the said targets.
[edit] Gameplay and Design
Game interaction is extremely limited, as Absolute Obedience is a visual novel. Most of the game consists of reading text and seeing stationary artwork, most of which is yaoi-themed. The English release also uses the original Japanese voices.
Player input is limited to, at a few junctions in the story, the ability to choose one of two paths. However, these choices do not give the player the ability to truly affect the storyline. The primary goal is to fullfill the client's requests and complete the mission.
In order to obtain a good ending, the player must select the correct choices in a specific order. Therefore, it is rather difficult to get every ending and every scene without help. Also, each mission is given a grade: A, B, C, or D, D being the worst.
