The wine selling minigame is broken. Not in a fun way, just broken. You click and nothing happens, or the bottle floats, and this is the part between the sex scenes that Nicole does for work. She sells exclusive wine. I kept thinking about the logistics of this shop, who comes in, what the rent must be, because the game gives you nothing else to latch onto.

Before that, there is morning sex with her boyfriend. The models are that specific Lesson of Passion style, the ones that look like they were left out in the sun too long. Shiny skin, weird proportions. But the animation has this one detail where the guy's hand actually grips her hip and you can see the flesh indent slightly. I stared at that for a while. It's a choice based thing, you pick positions from a list, and the camera just sits there. Unblinking. Like a security camera in a very boring brothel.

Then Roxy shows up. The lesbian content is the whole point, I guess, but it takes so long to get there. They meet, and the game asks you to choose how they touch. The first option was something like "gentle caress" and Nicole's hand clipped right through Roxy's shoulder. I laughed. Is that the intended reaction? A big chunk of the story is just... waiting. Waiting for the next dialogue box where you pick an action. The masturbation scene later has this weird energy, like everyone involved is just tired. Nicole's expression doesn't change. Not once. You can make her do all sorts of things and her face is this placid mask. I started imagining her thinking about the broken wine shop. Maybe that's the real story. A woman trapped in a loop of bad business decisions and clumsy sex, her face frozen in a permanent state of mild customer service politeness. The sound design is mostly just a wet noise repeated on a timer. I think I heard a bird outside my own window and it added more atmosphere than the entire game.
