The minigame where you have to match colored orbs to break a girl's curse? That's basically my entire relationship with this thing. It starts simple, right, you're dead, some big titty devil lady brings you back, now you're her pawn. Standard Tuesday. But then you're juggling like five different supernatural women, each with their own side quest and mood swings, and the orb matching is the only way to progress the "story". I'm sitting there, calculating optimal orb paths for maximum affection gain with Rias, thinking I'm a genius, and then the game throws a random event where Akeno just... decides to dominate the whole scene with a toy. My careful planning, ruined by a surprise titfuck animation. I'm not even mad. Well, maybe a little.

The whole thing feels like someone left a high-budget 3DCG porn clip running in the middle of a bootleg visual novel. The animations are surprisingly smooth, especially the ones with Raynare, that fallen angel with a serious attitude problem. There's a scene where she's just... teasing, and the way her wings twitch? Weirdly hypnotic. But then you're back to the school setting, and the dialogue reads like it was translated by a bot that learned English from old forum memes. "You are a pervert of the highest magnitude, but I will allow it." Who talks like that? I laughed, though. The humor is accidental, I think, but it's there.

I wish the lesbian scenes between the girls weren't locked behind such a grind. There's one with Koneko and Asia that I had to replay a whole chapter to see because I picked the wrong dialogue choice, a single wrong click and boom, no small cat girl action for you. The adventure part is just a flimsy excuse to get from one sex scene to the next, and the male protagonist has the personality of a wet napkin. But that one moment where Mittelt, that tiny blonde, just completely takes charge? My minimax brain short-circuited. I forgot about the orbs. I forgot about the strategy. I just watched. Maybe that's the point.
