Sam’s summer doesn’t start with explosions or some anime bullshit prophecy. It starts with him jerking off quietly in a cramped bathroom, hoping his mom doesn’t knock, while thinking about his own best friend in a way he definitely shouldn’t. That’s the vibe here. Ordinary high school, humid Asian heat, everybody sweating in their uniforms, and underneath it all everybody is horny, frustrated, and pretending to be “normal”. The game leans hard into that slow burn feeling where every stare in the hallway and every accidental touch feels like it could cross a line. One moment you’re helping Angela with homework, the next you’re watching her skirt ride up as she stretches on the bed and wondering if you should look away or look closer. You usually don’t look away.

There’s a lot of teasing and it’s not gentle. The bullies at school are assholes, they push Sam around, grope the girls when they think they can get away with it, and the game doesn’t try to moralize. Sometimes you interrupt, sometimes you don’t, and sometimes you pretend you didn’t see a hand slip under a blouse because the situation turns you on and you hate yourself for that. The nicest thing is that the characters actually feel like horny idiots instead of porn robots. Sam’s mom, Riona, walks around the apartment in these thin summer clothes that cling to her body, pretending she’s just “too hot” from the weather, and the camera knows exactly when to linger on her ass or the outline of her nipples. She acts like a normal caring mother, cooks, nags you a bit, then sits too close on the couch and you notice her breathing change when your leg touches hers. The game loves that “is this still innocent or not?” line and keeps poking it. It gets pretty fucked when the bullying brothers start eyeing her and your sister too, and the story quietly asks if you’re going to protect them or secretly want to watch things fall apart. Sometimes protecting them means watching something you can’t unsee. Sometimes not protecting them is even worse.

The sex itself ramps up from clumsy masturbation scenes to full-on sweaty summer nights. There’s that first time you manage to sneak into Angela’s room during a storm, lightning outside, her in a loose shirt with no bra, pretending she’s scared only of the thunder. You feel her thighs tense as your hand slides higher, she bites her lip, and everything feels messy and way too real. Vaginal scenes are shot very close, like you’re right there feeling every movement, and the game loves when someone might walk in at any second. The best part is also the most annoying: you get choices that look small, like peeking at Juno while she changes, or letting Riona drink a bit more wine than she should, and ten scenes later you realize those little “just this once” moments pushed everyone down a darker, more corrupt path. And then there’s that one tiny detail that stuck with me: the way Angela’s face shifts when she realizes you’re turned on by her humiliation in front of the bullies. She blushes, looks away, but her legs don’t move. It’s fucked up and hot and uncomfortable at the same time, which is exactly what this game is chasing, like a slow, sticky summer you kind of wish would never end and also kinda hope would.
