Amanda’s Temptation feels like watching that one “too put together” colleague slowly realize she’s absolutely not as innocent as she tells everyone. You start with Amanda, late 20s, tidy life, super proper teacher vibe, and she’s getting lightly bullied by her best friend for being single and “too good.” It sounds harmless at first, just joking around about her not getting laid, but the game does this slow, mean little thing where these jokes start to stick in her head. She goes home, closes the door, and suddenly you’re in her alone time where she’s replaying those comments and touching herself while pretending she’s still in control. The whole game hangs in that tension between “respectable adult woman” and “I kinda want to be used like a slut” energy, and some scenes really step over the line in the best way.
What I liked a lot is how the choices hit her inner voice rather than throwing you right into sex from nowhere. You pick if she answers her friend with fake confidence or quiet embarrassment. Then, later at night, she’s on her bed, phone screen lighting her face, some chat, some porn, some memory about a student’s dad looking at her legs a bit too long, and your earlier choices decide what she focuses on. There are moments where she’s trying to masturbate “normal,” like soft romance fantasy, and then one little decision you made before pushes her brain into something nastier. One path she’s thinking about soft kissing, another path she’s fingering herself to the idea of being talked down to and called out for being thirsty behind that good-girl mask. It’s not subtle at all, but her corruption feels earned, not just flipped like a switch. Unless you pick the most obviously horny options, then yeah, she goes downhill pretty damn fast, which is also fun.
As someone who is poly and usually wants games where I can juggle multiple love interests, this one is weirdly personal. You are basically deciding if Amanda goes for wholesome romance or just gives in and lets herself become the “fuck it, I want everything” version of herself. It never fully becomes a big harem thing, which annoyed me a bit, because the setup is perfect for her to explore several people at once instead of a simple “good route / bad route” logic. Still, the teasing hits hard. Her best friend keeps poking at her, sometimes in a flirty way, sometimes almost cruel, and I kept waiting for that scene where Amanda just snaps and kisses her mid-sentence. Depending on choices, you can steer her closer to that kind of thing or keep her more reserved, but even on the more “sweet” path she ends up touching herself a lot, replaying scenes, imagining different outcomes. The art sells it: the slow change in her expressions, the way her eyes shift from shy to hungry, how her body language moves from closed off to “yeah, look at me.” The romance angle is there, but the real kink is watching her lose the comfort of being a “good teacher” and realizing she likes the dirty thoughts way more than the safe ones. The game never pretends that is not hot as hell.
