Warning: This game does contain dark and disturbing themes including rape and torture. Be warned that it is quite dark and blatant in the depictions of such.
Torturing. Causing pain and suffering. Taking screams and tears from a completely subdued human being.
That's the hobby of people from a community called The Dungeoneers. Dungeoneers have their own private dungeons in their homes (hence the name), to which they take strangers - those naive enough to fall for the dungeoneer's charms.
Members from this community won't settle for just executing their sadistic game. They must show it to other people. For that, they videotape their torture sessions and post it to online forums, to get other member's appreciation and reviews.
BE:D tells the story of Verge, a dungeoneer depressed because he's lost his touch with doing decent videos, and because the love of his life, Daily, couldn't care less about his existence.
Gameplay
BE:D has two distinct gameplay aspects:
--The first one is similar to a Dating Sim, in which you have to approach strangers on the street and seduce them to go home with you, mainly using dialog choices.
--The second one is more like a puzzle, and it consists of setting up your dungeon to torture your victims. Your goal at this stage is making your victim leave the dungeon completely shattered psychologically and physically, but still alive. That's what the Dungeoneers call a Beautiful Escape, and it's the ultimate goal of the torture sessions. You can also get them killed, get them too depressed to leave the dungeon, or even have them leave healthy enough, but your viewers won't appreciate your videos as much. It's all about the delicate balance between too much and not enough.
Gameplay elements are tempered with lots of dialogs and the resolution of Verge's love story.

After Suzy and freedom, Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer was also translated to korean.
It's worth mentioning that after these translations I started learning korean myself. 한국어가 정말 아름다운 언어입니다!
Recently, a russian translation was also made, which is pretty cool. For some (cultural?) reason, BE:D seems to be very popular in Russian. They even made a russian Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer Wikipedia page!
Coincidentally, this week a fellow Brazilian asked permission to make a Portuguese translation for the game. For some strange reason it bothers me a little (maybe because I should me making this translation myself?), but it's amazing that the game is reaching people from all over the world like that.
Random fun thing: the guy who made the Russian translation mentioned that Verge looks a lot like Eridan Ampora from Homestuck. I didn't even know what Homestuck is but the resemblace is disturbing!

CloseAbout a sequel...
My initial thoughts on it were the same as F-G's. No, it would ruin the whole thing. This is a one-game concept.
But some day, I woke up with a lot of ideas that would make for a good sequel, and greatly improve on the gameplay and atmosphere stuff.
It could work, but... I'm full of ideas, I'd rather spend my time working on a new one than on a sequel of an old one.
Glad you guys liked it!

But is a cents I feel like I was him for abit since they seem to not like his work in the game as well.

I didn't realise how many positive reviews this had outside the RM community. They're also a lot better written than the ones on this site.
Ah... not necessarily. There are some great reviews in this site too, like your own... and not all of the external reviews are that well written.
And I promise I don't select only good reviews to list here. :D
It felt more like an attempt at a deconstruction of the genre to me (pathetic protagonist, no real point to torture other than online cred) but I don't feel it was particularly effective in that regard.
The only social commentary I saw was on us, the RM community.

This game should promoting peepoles for not killing other peepoles. This game is really sick man.
We must do something what we don't want. You build a real personalites to make a feel of killing real pepole. Really f*d up man. You need theraphist.
1) what is a theraphist
2) that's the point of the game- it's social commentary.

Technically, you're not supposed to get all victims before the first story event, but if you do that, the game is programmed to skip the event to the next.
