《情感反詐模擬器》：一款讓「撈女」破防的STEAM黑馬遊戲
——從《撈女遊戲》被迫改名，到上線8小時殺入銷售榜前三，這款遊戲為何引爆全網？

近期名為《撈女遊戲》的獨立遊戲在STEAM平台悄然上架。開發者原本只是想製作諷刺「情感詐騙」的模擬器，結果經發布便引發巨大爭議。部分女性玩家與網紅指責該遊戲「污名化女性」，並發起集體舉報，迫使團隊將遊戲更名為《情感反詐模擬器》。然而，這次更名不僅未使熱度降低，反而促使遊戲在短短8小時內衝進STEAM全球銷售榜前三。有玩家甚至戲稱：「這遊戲的更名過程，本身就是完美的反詐教學。」

由香港導演胡耀輝執導。扮演“情感獵手”，面對“撈女”組織，在非第一人稱沉浸式影像中，在欺騙與誘惑之間做出關鍵抉擇。有472分鐘影像素材、200+選項、 38個結局。劇情的第一章，主角是剛畢業的社畜吳宇倫。他因觀看美女主播的直播而深陷情網，對方用「粉絲福利」為由加他微信，接著訴說自己「家人重病」、「遭公司欺負」等可憐遭遇博取同情。最後，以「戀愛」「見面」為名義引導男子一再轉帳，最終將其爺爺留下的50萬元人民幣積蓄榨乾。當男子發現自己只是對方眾多「工具人」之一時，崩潰之下決定成立「反撈聯盟」。這一章劇情被許多玩家視為「男性防PUA啟蒙教育」，不少人在體驗結局時大呼：「拳頭硬了。」

在第二章中主角被網紅女友騙光所有積蓄後，借高利貸整容、打造身份，化身霸道總裁進行反向報復。他用假豪車、假名錶吸引拜金女網紅，並以「投資合作」為名讓對方倒貼資金，最終在直播中揭穿其真面目。在此章中可選擇不同的報復手段，例如曝光聊天記錄或設局讓對方「社死」，甚至有分支劇情能讓玩家「反詐成功」騙回一筆錢，這部分被網友譽為「終極爽文模式」，其中「直播揭穿」的橋段尤其成為最出圈的一幕。

《情感反詐模擬器》不僅僅是劇情遊戲，其遊戲機制設計也具備明顯的「反詐教育」屬性。需要透過對話選項識破對方的「話術陷阱」，若選錯選項甚至會被騙得更慘。還加入資金管理系統，必須合理規劃工資與存款，避免財務崩盤；同時還能透過炒股與兼職賺錢，但也要小心誤入其他詐騙陷阱。證據收集模式也是一大亮點，必須截圖、錄音等手段保留證據，最終能否成功「反殺」取決於線索是否齊全。

在市場評價方面，可謂熱度炸裂但評價兩極。支持方認為這款遊戲應該納入義務教育，有人說：「玩完直接戒打賞女主播的癮。」甚至有評論指出，「比反詐APP更有代入感，應該全國推廣。」然而，也有反對聲音指出該遊戲「刻意醜化女性，製造性別對立」，還有家長擔心遊戲中的詐騙手法過於真實，怕讓壞人學去。但不論爭議如何，遊戲目前在STEAM平台維持「特別好評」狀態，好評率高達88%。

值得注意的是，這款遊戲不僅在虛擬世界引發反詐熱潮，還延伸到現實社會。一些玩家自發組建「現實版反撈聯盟」，在線上社群分享防騙技巧，部分網紅則公開聲明「拒絕撈女行為」以自保。甚至有傳聞指出，中國網信辦已聯繫開發團隊，討論合作反詐宣傳的可能性。

《情感反詐模擬器》的成功，並不僅止於它作為遊戲的娛樂性，而是在於它擊中了當代社會的一個敏感痛點——情感詐騙的泛濫。用黑色幽默與誇張劇情，讓人親身體驗「被騙」與「反殺」的全過程，最終達成強烈的警示效果。正如一位玩家所說：「玩這遊戲之前，我以為我永遠不會被騙；玩完之後，我發現我可能早就在被騙了」。值得一提的這些劇情應該都是根據真人案例改編，發行日期剛好是電玩代玩大神「胖貓」被女友榨乾後被分手後跳江的一周年，劇情的類似也引發外界諸多遐想。

"Emotional Anti-Fraud Simulator": A Steam Dark Horse Game That Triggered 'Gold Digger' Outrage
— From being forced to rename from Gold Digger Game, to breaking into Steam's global top-three bestseller list within eight hours — why has this game gone viral across the internet?

Recently, an indie game titled Gold Digger Game quietly launched on the Steam platform. The developers initially aimed to create a satirical simulator to raise awareness about emotional fraud. However, upon release, it quickly stirred major controversy. Some female players and internet influencers accused the game of "stigmatizing women" and organized mass reports, eventually pressuring the developers to rename the game to Emotional Anti-Fraud Simulator. Ironically, the name change didn’t hurt its popularity — on the contrary, it fueled the hype, propelling the game into Steam's global top-three bestseller list within just eight hours of launch. As one player sarcastically remarked, "Even the renaming process itself was a perfect anti-fraud lesson."

Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Yiu Fai, the game allows players to assume the role of an “emotional hunter,” facing off against a manipulative "gold digger" organization. It adopts a non-first-person, immersive video narrative style, featuring 472 minutes of video footage, over 200 interactive options, and 38 different endings.

The first chapter follows the story of Wu Yulun, a fresh college graduate who becomes infatuated after watching a female livestreamer. Drawn in by her gentle persona, he adds her on WeChat after she offers "fan benefits." She then manipulates him emotionally with fabricated tales of a sick family member and workplace mistreatment. Eventually, she convinces him to send money under the pretense of meeting and dating. Wu ends up draining the 500,000 RMB inheritance his grandfather left him. When he discovers that he was merely one of many "wallet guys," he suffers a breakdown and decides to form an "Anti-Gold Digger Alliance." This chapter is seen by many players as “a man’s introduction to PUA defense,” with some claiming, “My fists clenched by the time I saw the ending.”

In the second chapter, the protagonist has been scammed out of all his savings by his influencer girlfriend. He borrows high-interest loans to undergo plastic surgery and rebrand himself as a wealthy CEO for revenge. Using fake luxury cars and designer watches, he lures in another materialistic influencer. Posing as a potential business partner, he tricks her into investing money. Eventually, he publicly exposes her during a livestream. This chapter allows players to choose different revenge tactics — such as releasing chat records or staging a complete social downfall for the target. Some story branches even let players successfully scam money back. Netizens have dubbed this segment the "ultimate power fantasy," with the "livestream expose" scene becoming the game’s most viral moment.

Emotional Anti-Fraud Simulator is more than just a story-driven game — it also serves as an educational tool. The game mechanics feature dialogue trees where players must identify psychological manipulation tactics; wrong choices can lead to greater losses. A financial management system requires players to plan salaries and savings wisely to avoid bankruptcy. Players can also earn money through stock trading or side gigs — but these come with their own fraud risks. One standout feature is the evidence collection system: players must take screenshots, record audio, and gather proof. Whether they can ultimately outsmart the scammers depends on the completeness of this evidence.

In terms of public reception, the game has sparked massive buzz but also polarized opinion. Supporters argue it should be part of school curricula, with some saying: "I quit tipping livestreamers after playing this." Others suggest it offers more immersive anti-fraud education than official apps and advocate for nationwide promotion. Critics, however, accuse the game of "deliberately demonizing women and inciting gender conflict." Parents have expressed concern that the scam techniques in the game are too realistic and might be emulated by criminals. Despite the controversy, the game currently holds a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with an 88% approval rate.

The influence of the game has extended beyond the virtual world. Some players have formed real-life “Anti-Gold Digger Alliances” to share anti-scam tactics in online communities. A number of influencers have publicly declared they reject manipulative behaviors to protect their reputations. Reports even suggest that China’s Cyberspace Administration has contacted the development team to explore the possibility of collaboration for anti-fraud campaigns.

Emotional Anti-Fraud Simulator succeeds not just as entertainment but as a commentary on a sensitive and timely societal issue: the widespread prevalence of emotional scams. Through exaggerated scenarios and dark humor, it allows players to experience both the pain of being deceived and the satisfaction of fighting back — driving home its educational message. As one player poignantly noted:
"Before playing this game, I thought I'd never fall for a scam; after playing it, I realized I probably already had."

It's worth mentioning that the game's storyline seems to be inspired by real-life incidents. The release date aligns with the first anniversary of the suicide of "Fat Cat," a well-known game booster who reportedly took his own life after being emotionally and financially drained by his girlfriend. The eerie parallels between the game and that case have fueled considerable speculation online.
