The first thing that hits you is how aggressively mediocre the 3D models are. Like, someone spent exactly enough time in a character creator to make the girls look vaguely fuckable but not enough to give them, I don't know, souls? The main girl, the one with the red hair who's supposed to be your university contact, has this dead-eyed stare that follows you around the dorm room. It's supposed to be sexy when she leans over to "help with your studies" but her tits clip through her shirt in a way that made me laugh out loud. Not the reaction I think they wanted.

The whole setup is you're some mafia-connected kid who has to blend in at this fancy private university while the city outside is basically a gang war waiting to happen. There's a management system for your criminal empire that feels like a shitty mobile game I played in 2016, you know the one, where you tap buildings to collect money and the numbers go up but nothing really changes. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out why my respect stat wasn't increasing and it turns out I had to click on a specific NPC three times in a row during a specific time of day. The game never tells you this. I found it by accident while trying to see if the blonde girl's skirt would clip through the desk (it does).

The sex scenes unlock in this weirdly mechanical way. Do a mission for the gang, get a blowjob. Attend enough classes, the goth chick with the tattoos suddenly wants to ride you in the library. There's no buildup, no tension, just a checklist of tasks and then genitals appear. The sound design during these moments is something else entirely, wet noises that sound like someone stirring macaroni salad with too much mayonnaise. I can't unhear it. The writing tries to be dark and mysterious but reads like a teenager's idea of what the mafia is like, lots of "you better keep your mouth shut" and "the boss wants to see you" without any weight behind it. Still, I kept playing. Not sure why. Maybe I wanted to see if the redhead's eyes would ever focus on something. They don't.
