Naoki doesn’t start out as the pervert you meet later on - that’s the best part. He’s a normal guy with a normal marriage, just a little too honest about what stirs him up inside. The game pulls you in not because of some flashy setup, but because of how uncomfortably *real* it feels when those filthy thoughts begin crawling in. One night he’s imagining Rika smiling at another man, and instead of anger or jealousy, something deep and shameful inside him lights up. You can almost feel the sweat on his neck, that mix of guilt and arousal that turns into something he can’t shut down anymore. It’s not romantic; it’s raw, embarrassing even, but that’s exactly why it hits harder than half the fake “passionate” stuff other games throw at you.

Rika herself is drawn like someone you’d actually see across the street - curves heavy enough to make your chest tighten but soft, expressive eyes that tell you she’s not innocent either. The animation lingers. When she moves, her hips drag a second longer than they should, and it’s hard to look away. There’s this one scene - Naoki watching through the crack of a door while his friend Kenta talks to her - and it’s more erotic than the full-on sex later, because the tension has that ugly truth behind it. You’re not supposed to want this. But you do. When the game finally lets go of its restraint and the three of them crash together, it doesn’t pretend it’s beautiful. It’s messy, sweaty, and just shy of cruel. Rika’s moans don’t sound like performance; they sound like surrender. And Naoki’s face during the creampie scene looks half destroyed, half enlightened.

It’s strange, maybe even uncomfortable, but if you’ve ever read those darker doujin panels where the shading tells more story than the words, you’ll get what this game’s doing. It’s turning jealousy into something almost holy - fucked-up, sure, but honest.

This one feels like some horny soap opera where the writer got way too invested in the “I’d do anything for love” line and then just kept asking “ok but how far, exactly?” You play this dude who is clearly a simp for the main girl, except the game never calls him that, it just acts like his obsession is pure romance while he is constantly staring at her tits and imagining how her ass would look bouncing on his lap. And everyone around him is somehow hot. Big boobs everywhere, big asses squeezed into tight clothes, and the camera basically behaves like a creep with a zoom fetish. If you like feeling like some invisible perv who always happens to be at the right angle when a towel slips or a skirt rides up, it is exactly that. Half the time nothing “big” is happening, it is just him watching, imagining, jerking off later while replaying it in his head, and the game lets you stay inside that kind of nasty loop.

The kinetic novel format makes it very passive, which cuts both ways. On one side, you can lean back and just let the story push you through all the teasing and then the full-on fucking scenes without worrying about choices. On the other side, if you start feeling weird about consent stuff, you have no way to fix it. And I did feel weird sometimes. There are a lot of moments where these girls clearly do not fully understand that the guy is basically building a harem around himself, and the story frames it as romantic devotion. He “wants to protect them”, but then the camera zooms in on their lips while they sleep and you sit there like, okay man, protector, sure. That part gets under my skin a bit, because the women are written like they’re into it, but the build-up skips over proper boundaries a lot. In a real relationship I would call that manipulative as fuck. Here it is dressed as destiny. And yes, it is hot when one of the girls kneels down, unzips him, and slowly takes him in her mouth after all that build-up, spit shining his cock until you can see the shine on the model, but at the same time my brain is like “wait, did she actually get to choose this or did the story force her because of ‘love’?” That conflict never really goes away. The game acts like consent is automatic once someone is “in love”, and that is some classic adult game bullshit that people pretend is fine because pixels are not real women. Which is technically true, but still, we train our fantasies too, you know?

Sex-wise it is not shy at all. When it finally stops playing coy, you get full pussy shots, thick cum dripping out after he pushes in deep and finishes inside, creampie that oozes down her folds, the guy grabbing a handful of ass while he pounds her from behind. There is always this focus on penetration and filling her up, like he is trying to claim them with his load. The scenes where the MC just loses control and rams into her while her tits bounce in rhythm are the ones where the 3D really pays off, because you can see the skin jiggle, the thighs pressing together, the little details like her toes curling when she comes. You even get those quiet moments where he is alone, jerking off to what he saw earlier, cum splashing on his stomach while he whispers her name, which actually feels kind of honest. I wish they spent that same honesty on how the women negotiate sex with him, but they do not. They just melt. There is one thing that annoyed me and I cannot stop thinking about it: every time a girl is undressing, the camera lingers on the exact same body angle like the dev only had one favorite pose, and it started bugging me for no real reason. Anyway, if your kink leans into voyeur stuff, big bodies, and that whole “I’ll fuck them all because they all need me” power fantasy, it hits hard, but as an ethics nerd, I kept thinking how easy it would be to make the same scenes just as horny while letting the women say a real yes instead of the story handing it to the guy like a reward. Maybe that is not what this game wants to be though.

Katy didn’t plan to end up surrounded by horny girls in tight uniforms, but that’s exactly where she lands - a pristine academy that looks innocent until you realize every hallway hides someone’s dirty secret. She’s supposed to blend in, keep her little “extra” part a secret, but the game doesn’t really let you stay quiet for long. You start with harmless stuff - chatting, exploring the dorms, helping classmates with “projects” - and before you know it, someone’s bending over a desk, and you’re wondering if you should stop or push a little further. The writing’s cheeky in that way: it teases you, then drops you into something filthy before you can think twice. It’s not subtle, but it doesn’t need to be.

What makes it weirdly addictive is how casual everything feels. You’re just living a day, checking your phone, picking what to do next, and suddenly you’re watching two girls making out behind the gym while pretending to study. There’s a voyeur vibe, but also this trainer-like loop where you shape Katy’s reputation - saint, slut, or both. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s just hot. The corruption part sneaks up on you; one moment she’s shy, the next she’s spanking her roommate for “discipline practice.” It’s messy, inconsistent, and that’s what makes it feel alive. The sandbox part gives you freedom, but it also means you’ll waste time doing dumb stuff like walking across campus just to peek through a window. Worth it though.

The art? Yeah, the girls look good - soft skin, big tits, that glossy anime sheen that makes you stare too long. But it’s the little things that stick: the sound of a zipper, the blush when someone realizes what Katy’s packing, the way control slips away during a scene. It’s horny, sure, but also kind of funny how everyone pretends it’s normal. Maybe it is, in this place. Maybe that’s the point.

Riveroaks looks like one of those nice West Coast towns from Instagram, but this game keeps poking the dirty meat under the skin. You play this broke guy who gets kicked out of home and suddenly finds out his estranged dad is a porn mogul with a new gay studio that needs a handler. Not in the fun BDSM sense. In the “sign contracts and worry about profits while staring at six packs” sense. Half the time you are trying to pretend you are a professional businessman, the other half you are trying not to get a visible boner during casting. The fun part is how casual the world treats sex. Everyone already knows you are Leonard King’s kid. Baristas flirt with you like they want a role, gym bros stretch way too close, and every conversation has this small chance to slide into filth. One second someone is talking about lighting, the next they are describing exactly how they want to be fucked on camera, and the game just goes “yeah this is normal”. As a horror nerd I like when a city feels like it has a pulse, and Riveroaks kind of hums like something alive and wet. Every location feels like a different fetish altar. The arcade with sticky neon, the gym with its sweaty muscle cult, the cute café where the “nice guy” director talks about art and then asks if you are comfortable filming a three-way with a choke scene. None of this is subtle. Sometimes it is hilarious and awkward and horny at the same time, like when you are reviewing test footage and realize the actor is staring straight into the camera, dirty talking you of all people, and the dialogue actually acknowledges your flustered silence instead of pretending you are a blank self insert.

What surprised me is how much the management part and the romance keep stepping on each other’s toes. You choose what kind of scenes to produce, who to cast together, what kinks to push, and later you have to sit with the people you just turned into “content” and maybe flirt with them, or listen when they tell you about their trauma, or both. There is this one moment where you schedule a shoot with a cocky twink and a quiet older guy, thinking “ok, this will sell, simple power play vibe”, and by the time you watch the preview cut you realize they actually clicked emotionally in between all the deepthroating. Then the game asks you, softly but not really gently, if you want to push them harder next time for profit or let them have a slower, sweeter scene. Of course I picked the darker option because I am weak and also curious. The aftermath hit harder than I expected, but then the next scene is just a stupidly funny argument in a bistro over whose ass looks better on camera, so your feelings never get to settle. It is messy, like real life, only with a lot more cum. The main character is weirdly relatable too. Not some porn god, just this slightly lost young dude who keeps flipping between horny, bitter, and accidentally caring. One route has you teasing a muscular cameraman in the locker room, trading nasty jokes until he corners you in the shower and asks if you are just playing or if you want him to ruin you for real. Another has you sharing late night drinks with an actor who looks like he walked out of a yaoi doujin, talking about family while his hand sits a little too high on your thigh. The sex scenes commit. They use the dirty words, they linger on bodies, they let you taste that feeling of being looked at like fresh meat. Sometimes the pacing goes weird and you jump from intense emotional build up to “ok, we are sucking dick now” with almost no breath, but honestly that clumsy cut has its own charm. Porn is rarely tidy. In my head I almost read Riveroaks like a cult story, only the cult is gay porn, and instead of summoning Cthulhu you are summoning audience engagement with horny thumbnails. There is something quietly corrupting about how normal it feels after a while to treat desire as a spreadsheet thing. And then a cute guy smiles at you from across the studio, half naked, and you stop caring where exactly your soul went.
