To actually find my first good ending, I had to experiment a lot. In a lot of cases, they don’t really give you much of a clue on which options will lead where. It’s worth noting here that this is a very short game, so you’ll come across one of these endings quickly. These lead you to one of about ten endings, most of which would be considered ‘bad ends’.
Relatively often you’re presented with choices. He ends up as the aggressor more than once, one of which is particularly surprising. There are a couple of exceptions to this. He doesn’t seem willing to do anything towards his goals. He’s incredibly passive in most cases and just takes whatever life throws at him with a bit of complaining this includes sexual situations, as well as being experimented on and only acknowledging bad situations but not doing anything about them. Takuya’s story is essentially asking the genius chemistry club president to make a cure and then living life as a woman in the meantime. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it’s what you’re looking for, but it’s important that you know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s filled with hentai logic, such as being raped as a girl and becoming addicted to it, along with all the guys (and a number of the girls) suddenly wanting to have sex with him as a girl. The focus on very much on the sex and despite being quite short, there are tons of sex scenes. X-Change R is certainly not an introspective analysis on gender and sexuality – it’s a 90’s hentai game and very much a product of its time. The tone is set quickly The first thing Takuya does is ‘Exploring’ his body. It’s not the first time that the chemistry club has done something crazy. When he gets into an accident that turns him into a girl, no one is that surprised. X-Change R follows Takuya, a member of the school’s infamous chemistry club. On hearing that it even included X-Change R, with a bunch of new content, I decided I had to play it. My memories long faded, when I heard that JASTUSA was releasing the X-Change – Complete Collection with a remastered version of the games, I was intrigued. I played X-Change when I was probably too young to be allowed to.
