Michael is the kind of guy you see in the office kitchen refilling the coffee machine, then you forget he exists ten seconds later. The game takes that guy and just throws horny chaos at him. It starts really small, like almost boring. He’s sitting in his tiny apartment, answering boring work emails, and Penelope is blowing up his phone on some WhatsApp clone, nagging him to install this dating app. Not subtle at all. She talks like someone who read too much fanfic, full of teasing and half-jokes, and you instantly get this feeling she’s way too invested in his dick for a “childhood friend”. The funny thing is, the game kind of pretends it’s just a soft romance at first, but the AI art already looks like it’s waiting to get railed. That contrast is actually kind of hot. Everyone is too pretty, too smooth, a bit uncanny around the eyes, like they all belong in some horny dream that forgot to load textures right.
The story pacing is weird in a good way. You go from boring IT tickets to matching with girls that have no business being interested in this guy. One route you’re texting this elegant office woman who talks about “stress relief” in that polite corporate way, then the next scene she’s bent over her own desk, skirt up, high heels still on, giving him this look like she’s known him forever. The game barely explains how he got there, it just leans into the fantasy that once he actually says yes to romance, reality breaks and turns into porn logic. There’s a scene with a neighbor that really stuck with me, not even the sex, but the moment she shows up at his door “just to borrow some sugar” and the camera lingers way too long on how her shirt strains around her chest. Nothing happens for several lines, and you’re just sitting there like, alright, I know where this is going, why are we still talking about flour and recipes. But that slow tease is fun and annoying at the same time. I still hate that one of the CGs has her wrist at a weird angle and now I can’t unsee it, like some mild body horror in the middle of a blowjob scene, but whatever, nobody’s perfect, not even an algorithm trained on too many horny prompts.
What really makes it feel like a fanfic ending simulator is how your choices sort of pretend to be “moral” but you know they’re really just picking which porn branch you want. Choose the shy response, you get the softer, tender sex where the girl blushes and clings to you, calling you “Michael” like her voice is shaking. Choose the bold one, suddenly you’re pushing her against the wall and the dialogue goes full “I’ve wanted this for so long” like you two had a whole emotional arc off screen. It feels like different writers arguing in a comment section, then merging all their kinks into one guy’s life. And under all the erotic scenes there’s this small mystery thread, random strange messages, things not adding up with the app, Penelope acting just a bit too clingy when another girl sends you nudes. It’s not in your face, but it sits there, pricking at you, like maybe someone is pulling all the strings and all these women didn’t just appear by coincidence. I kind of wish that part was deeper, but also I don’t, because it would delay the sex even more and I’m weak. The game feels like some thirsty AO3 fic where the author started with “socially awkward IT guy learns to love” and ended up just describing how each woman rides him in different positions. In a good way.
