The thumb keeps sliding over the same spot. Hard to Love, right, the CG hentai visual novel about the married couple next door and all that past stuff. You know how some touch games just get the swipe right? This one doesn't. The interface is a mess. I kept tapping the neighbor's window thinking it would trigger a flashback but no, just a text box about his mom's weird cooking. Again.

The sex scenes are there, the married woman with the marriage woes, her husband who's a total prick. The art is that slightly off CG style where the nipples look like someone drew them from memory after seeing one once. But when the main character, as a teen, finally gets with that life changing person, the whole screen just becomes a jpg with a click to advance. No animation. I don't know what I expected. My phone's screen got so greasy.

There's this one bit where you're an adult and the three neighbors show up. One of them, the one with the short hair, she's got this thing about... actually I was more focused on trying to figure out if the married couple's drama was ever going to lead to a full swap. It hints. It hints so hard. Then the game just cuts back to a flashback of him as a teenager crying in the rain. Classic visual novel bait and switch. The past segments drag, honestly. I wanted more of the present day messy adult stuff, the weird people who raised him, that's genuinely odd and fun. The game's replayability is zero unless you have a fetish for reading about a sad boy's first heartbreak over and over. I kept playing just to see if the neighbor's wife would finally drop the towel. She does. It's fine. The cg is okay. I've seen better on itch.io for free.
