Boss is in a meeting so I'm alt-tabbing between spreadsheets and this game like a degenerate. The AI art thing usually puts me off, you know, that glossy plastic look where everyone's skin is too smooth and the lighting makes no sense. But here it kinda works because the whole mansion feels fake anyway, like a dollhouse full of secrets. Aunt Nicole's ass is genuinely ridiculous, the kind of proportions that make you laugh and then feel weird about laughing.

The mystery hook is what got me. Uncle Joseph vanished, nobody talks about it, and you're supposed to dig through laptops and diaries while your cousins keep walking around in tiny shorts. Lisa's got this innocent act but I caught her in a scene where she's clearly not innocent at all, and the game doesn't telegraph it, you just stumble into these moments. The password cracking minigame is basic as hell, just clicking around, but the tension of someone walking in while you're snooping through their bedroom drawer is real. I wish the animated scenes had more variety in angles, sometimes it's just the same loop from slightly different positions and you're like, okay I get it, they're fucking, show me something new.

Tina's arc went somewhere I genuinely didn't expect. There's this one reveal about her and the missing uncle that made me put down my sandwich. The game lets you be a manipulative piece of shit or a white knight and the dialogue changes enough that it doesn't feel like the same scene with different flavor text. Though Karina's route feels undercooked compared to the others, like they ran out of time or ideas. Still, for a browser game I'm playing while pretending to work on quarterly reports, it's doing things to my brain chemistry. The incest stuff is there if you want it but the investigation is weirdly compelling on its own.
