Lydia feels like that quiet girl from your math class who never talked, then one night you see her at a party half drunk, lips on another girl, mascara ruined, and you realise you had no clue who she really was. That’s the whole vibe here. She walks into this fancy New York college with her planner, her high grades, her “good girl” brain, and then the game basically throws her into sex, pressure, weird relationships, and some very questionable choices that you, as the player, keep pushing her into because it’s impossible not to test how far she bends. One moment she’s blushing because someone saw her underwear under that too-short skirt, next moment you’ve got her deliberately “forgetting” to close the curtains in her dorm room, staring at her own reflection on the glass while knowing people in the next building can see everything. I liked how the game doesn’t scream at you “this is corruption now”, it just lets you nudge her a bit, then a bit more, and suddenly Lydia’s the one saying the filthy lines in dialog that would have made her faint in the intro.

The routes with the girls hit different than I expected. When Lydia ends up in those lesbian scenes, it’s not just “oh look, two girls, boobs, done”. You get soft, clumsy kisses on a dorm bed with a friend, the kind where they both stop and giggle because teeth bumped, and then twenty minutes later you might have her pinned against a bathroom stall, one hand over her mouth while some other student is washing their hands at the sink, clueless. Or maybe not totally clueless. The game is weird like that, it loves that almost-caught tension. The trans romances are actually where I felt the dev flexing a bit. There’s that moment when Lydia’s staring at a hard cock and pretty face at the same time, trying to process why she’s more turned on than confused, and the dialog actually leans into her brain spinning, not just her body reacting. Sex scenes go from sweet vanilla dates and handholding to Lydia on her knees taking it deep and letting someone use her hair as grip, then back to cuddles like nothing happened. Some scenes are kind of stiff and the pacing jumps around without warning, like a Ren’Py script got smashed with a hammer and taped back together, but in a weird way that matches how her college life feels. You think you’re going for wholesome romance, suddenly you’re choosing whether she agrees to wear a collar under her turtleneck to class. Or if she lets a girl tie her wrists to the headboard and take pictures, “just for us”, which of course is never just for them. I kept meaning to try the more normal path and then found myself pushing her into another risky exhibition stunt, like making her walk down the dorm hallway in nothing but an unbuttoned shirt and panties, praying no RA shows up. It’s messy, horny, sometimes awkward, sometimes really hot, and Lydia never fully stops feeling like that smart, slightly lost college girl who might either graduate with honors or end up skipping lectures because she’s too busy getting fucked in someone’s off-campus apartment.
