The game is set in post-World War II West Germany. But the developers has taken a lot of historical freedoms, as the exact year is never mentioned. One of the storylines involves a dramatic motorcycle race to the Berlin Wall and back. So the game must be set sometime after 1961. The player takes the role of either Kia WelBehenna or Louise Hardwich, the only two members of a secret agency run by Louise Hardwich. 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.

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. Each character of the game has a Japanese voice-over actor to supplement the text during conversations between characters. The English release also uses the original Japanese voices together with the English translated text.
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, only the endings. The primary goal is to fulfill the client's requests and complete the mission.
But despite the simple gameplay Absolute Obedience offers a variety of very complex character designs for the main characters as well as their "targets". Each of the 12 stories have up to 4 different endings, leaving the player with the choice of 42 different endings + 2 additional endings.
In order to obtain a good ending, the player must select the correct choices in a specific order. Some Requests lose some of their options at some point and become listed as "expired". This may be related to the order the specific Requests are fulfilled in and/or rankings received in each Request as it is completed. 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.
When the game has been successfully completed with an A grade in each requests, the game unlocks two additional secret missions for Kia WelBehenna and Louise Hardwich. When the secret missions have been completed and you restart the game, the image on the main page change.
[edit] Main Characters in Absolute Obedience
[edit] Kia WelBehenna
Voiced by: Yusei Oda
Nationality: German
One of the two main characters in the game. He grew up in a poor household and lost his mother when he was 14 years old. He has no siblings. His father was a drunk, and when Kia was 10 years old, his father threw a piece of burning wood after Kias mother. But Kia shielded his mother and got hit instead. His left arm was badly hurt by the fire and left a big scar. He could never look at it without getting sick, until Louise told Kia to look at it like an honorable wound from defending a Lady.
Kia worked to earn money at a butchers shop after school. The butcher and his family loved Kia as their own son, and meant to leave the shop to Kia. But he suddenly left his job to become a soldier in the German army. Kia’s military rank is Private. He is still enrolled as a soldier, and works as an agent purely for the money and the excitement: “I help people for fun and profit.”
An overly confident youth who is short-tempered, cocky and emotional, he's known for mouthing off to others, although he's very smart. He drives a Harley-Davidson XA and prefers a gun for weapon. He has a German shepherd named Tigg.
He hates guys who try to act cute to get attention. He never falls for other guys, but tries to get them to fall for him instead. Kia has sworn never to say the words “I love you” to anyone ever again because all the people he has ever loved, has died.
[edit] Louise Hardwich
Voiced by: Ken Takeuchi
The alternate main character in the game. The only son and heir to the wealthy and powerful Hardwich family. His childhood was lonely and he was raised by maids and a nanny. His parents never showed any affection towards him, and live their own life apart. Because of his family Louise has the political influence and the money to get the job done.
Always sure of himself, Louise is very good-looking, but sometimes his big mouth gets him into difficult situations. He's not above acting coy if it will help him get what he wants. His military rank is Second Lieutenant. On the wishes of his father Louise got conscripted into the army. But it was just for one month, and because of his family Louise got special treatment.
He always carries his favorite bull whip wherever he goes, and seldom uses a gun. Very charismatic, and tries to be everybody's friend. Louise never drives himself, but has Gallacher chauffeur his black Mercedes Benz. As a hobby Louise breeds horses, mostly those of the German Steier breed.
[edit] Gallacher Morlock
Voiced by:
Nothing much is known about Gallachers past or his family. He is servant and bodyguard of Kia and Louise, he's proud of his carefully chosen macho style. He believes that nothing is more important than a promise made between men. He has a tendency to stick his nose into other people's business, which gets him into trouble sometimes.
He is the one who brings the request dossiers to Kia and Louise, and discuss prices with the clients. Gallacher is the commentator and sometimes the comic relief of Absolute Obedience.
