Industry Baby feels like someone watched too many casting couch clips on Pornhub, then tried to turn that fever dream into a career simulator, and somehow it kinda works even while tripping over its own dick. You’re this overqualified, broke dude who thought a shiny degree would give him a corner office, and instead you’re pointing a camera at naked girls and trying not to nut too fast. I liked that it doesn’t pretend you’re some shy loser. You’re competent, cocky, and a bit of an asshole, which is honestly refreshing. Then again, sometimes the MC talks like a Reddit motivational quote and that killed my boner for a second. One moment he’s rough and direct, next moment he sounds like he’s writing a LinkedIn post about “hustle” and “grind”. Pick a lane, man.
Anyway, the actual sex content hits the usual porn-fantasy buttons, just louder. Big asses everywhere, big tits bouncing in your face, a lot of “guy in control, girl melts” energy. The girls idolize you way too fast. It’s like every girl was secretly waiting for a camera and your dick to appear in her life so she can call you “sir” without a safeword conversation. The harem angle sneaks up on you too. You go in thinking you’re just doing scenes to pay rent, then you blink and suddenly there’s three girls texting your in-game phone about wanting “private shoots” and you’re booking scenes like you’re managing an OnlyFans agency. The voyeur stuff is subtle at first. You’re checking test shots, spying on how they move when they think nobody looks, unlocking different angles. There was one moment where I replayed a scene just to watch the girl’s face change when your character pushes it a bit too far. Tiny detail, but it stuck with me harder than the actual cumshot. Felt a bit like scrolling through those 5 second Twitter smut clips that loop forever and your brain just stays there.
The animation looks decent when it moves slow, then occasionally it goes slightly weird when the thrusting speeds up and bodies start doing that floaty frictionless thing. Not game-breaking, just one of those “ah, yes, 3dcg horny jank” details. Sometimes the MC’s hand clips through a thigh and I swear it feels more lewd than when it’s correctly placed, like your brain reads it as rougher than it actually is. The virgin angle is funny too. You’re the guy who has been around the block mentally, but some girls are doing their “first time on camera” and the game loves milking that. There’s this one “good girl” who acts like she’s all pure, then the second you tell her how the scene will go, she’s dripping and begging to be your favorite. I rolled my eyes and still enjoyed it. It kind of mirrors how people act on Instagram versus what they’re doing in DMs, honestly. Speaking of that, the in-game phone feels like a cursed mix of WhatsApp hookups and those desperate “collab?” messages you see creators post on X. You line up scenes, send a couple of texts that somehow are both romantic and degrading, then show up and rail them like it’s just another workday. And still, in the middle of all that, I found myself annoyed that one particular character’s hairstyle never changes between shoots. No growth, no new look, just the same damn hair while everyone else starts acting like porn awards are on the line. I’m still mad about that, for no real reason.
