You’re the guy on the door of the last more-or-less holy place on earth, and it’s already not holy at all. Secret Refuge sounds like some serious religious bunker, but it feels more like a horny monastery run by people who forgot the original rules and just kept the guilt. Every day the gate buzzes, some fucked-up Outsider stands there telling you their sad story, and you decide: in, out, or “come back when I feel like abusing power.” The fun part is that this isn’t just moral choice button pressing. Your decisions drip into everything. Who you let in changes who walks the halls, who bends the knee, who ends up on their knees in your room while choir music leaks through the walls like a weird joke from the devs.

Inside the shelter, three big factions keep poking at you. There’s the fake-saint crowd trying to keep things “pure” while their nuns and virginal priestesses clearly have tits like heavy pillows and asses that don’t match their sermons. There’s a more practical, dirty group that doesn’t mind corruption at all, as long as you’re useful at the gate and in their beds. And then there’s the “intellectual” religious tech weirdos who built half the AI systems here and pretend they’re above lust, right until your hand is slowly groping under their robes in some candlelit corner and they’re mumbling prayers between moans. I like that the corruption is not just a meter. You see it in how their clothes shrink, how the teasing starts, how sleep sex suddenly becomes an option after a “blessing” ceremony where she drinks a bit too much, lies down in the common dorm, and you stand there staring, half-ashamed and hard as fuck. The game is very casual about male domination, like it’s just another resource to manage: food, faith, obedience, orgasms.

For an adult game, the sound caught me off guard. It’s not huge orchestral stuff, more like dirty little loops that sneak into your brain. Gentle ambient hum in the gate scene, then this soft, almost holy synth chord when you approve someone, but when you start harassing that busty acolyte in a storage room, the track adds this low, slow bass that feels like a heartbeat crawling into your spine. It’s weirdly sexy. Not “high budget sexy” either, there are these tiny glitches in volume, a loop that clicks on itself, and I actually like it. Reminds me of listening to lo-fi porn audio on VLC while another tab is open on a porn site you forgot to pause. The AI-generated CG fits that same vibe: sometimes the girls’ faces look a bit too perfect, or a hand is slightly off, but your brain patches it because the tits and asses are front and center and the animation in the right moments is smooth enough to make you forget you wanted to nitpick. There’s this scene where you catch a religious girl sneaking sweets from a forbidden stockpile, and instead of reporting her, you “punish” her by making her strip piece by piece, with you controlling the pace like a twisted rhythm game. The music stays calm, almost peaceful, while you grope her, make her stroke you, then push her down for slow vaginal sex on the cold floor; the mismatch between soft soundtrack and filthy movements hits way harder than some loud porn beat. The puzzle and management stuff are there, but half of the time you click your way through dialogue only to get back to that one girl you corrupted from shy believer to sleep toy, waiting in your bunk, snoring lightly, panties already sliding off because you trained her that way. Honestly, I wish the phone UI for the mobile browser version had slightly bigger buttons during one-handed moments, but that’s not going to change and maybe it shouldn’t. Makes every misclick feel like part of the mess you’re making, inside this supposed shelter and inside your own head.
