Didnt expect the bat to be that heavy. No really, the bat. In Mirror Bat you're this blonde sports girl, mirroring your swing against a pitch that comes at you in these weird diagonal angles. The arcade part is you got one button basically, timing your hit. Miss and the ball goes nowhere. Hit it and well, her clothes start coming off. Strip mechanic tied to score. Simple.

What got me stuck wasnt the game though it was her eyes. The real model thing, they used photos I guess? Not animated. So she just stares at you while you're trying to time a fastball. Uncanny valley stuff but like, the hot kind? Her expression doesnt change whether you're doing good or completely whiffing. I spent maybe fifteen minutes on level 3 just watching her blink. You know that thing where you're supposed to be doing something but your brain just. Anyway.

The sport part is genuinely annoying. Mirroring directions means left is right sometimes and my lizard brain cannot handle that after a couple beers. Kept swinging into empty air while this pixel perfect blonde judges me silently. Erotic striptease is the tag but honestly the tease is just her standing there while you fumble. By the time I got her top off I felt more relief than anything. Like finally woman, stop looking at me like that. Maybe they should add a DLC where she just laughs when you miss. Would make it less weird.
