Jake is that guy you see smoking outside some shitty bar at midnight, leaning on a dented car that looks fast enough to kill you, and you can just tell his life went sideways but he still thinks he’s the main character. The game kinda throws you in his mess without long bullshit intro. He is early 30s, freshly divorced, ego hurt but still horny as hell, with this mix of “I learned from my mistakes” and “I’ll probably do them again if the ass is good enough.” You follow him through a city that feels dirty in the right way, full of neon, garages, half-legal races and women who either want to save him or use him or fuck him stupid. Sometimes all three on the same night. It’s not romantic. It pretends to be romantic sometimes, then throws you a scene where you’re raw-dogging in the backseat after a race while the engine is still ticking hot.
The main thing is choices. Not those fake “good/bad” choices like in some polished Steam thing. Here it’s more like: do you go home with the classy businesswoman who talks with sharp eyes and wears lingerie that probably costs more than Jake’s car, or do you let yourself get dragged into a bathroom stall by the reckless street queen with grease on her hands and a laugh that says she’ll ruin your life. Sometimes you pick what to say and it feels small, like just flirting, but later she shows up at a race and suddenly she’s betting on you like you’re her toy. Money is not just a number here either. You win it, you burn it, you use it to upgrade your car or to impress some woman who totally doesn’t need impressing but still spreads her legs easier when you bring her to the nicer bar. Or doesn’t. One of them actually got mad when I tried to flash the cash and I ended up jerking off alone in a shitty motel room after a race because she ghosted me. That scene hurt more than any “game over” screen.
Sex scenes are not always “perfect porn” timing. Sometimes they’re quick and messy, like you barely pulled her shorts aside in a dark alley and you’re hoping nobody walks in. Other times you get that slow burn where you’re in her apartment, her heels on, legs squeezed around your waist, kissing and grinding on the sofa before clothes even come off. There is one moment where you lose a race by being reckless, car almost fucked, and the woman you’re kind of chasing shows up at the garage. She is furious, calls you an idiot, then ten seconds later she is pressed against the hood, moaning, because the adrenaline got to both of you. It’s hot, but also kinda sad, because you can tell neither of you is actually okay. That’s the thing: the game teases that you can “find the best woman,” but honestly, all of them feel a bit broken in their own way, same as Jake. One is way too into the danger, one is clearly using you to piss off someone richer, one looks like she wants a stable guy yet still rides you in the car after an illegal race like she never heard of stability in her life. You jump between scenes thinking with your dick and then later you realize you actually care which route you’re on. Or maybe you don’t, maybe you just want to see who lets you come on her face, who prefers it on her tits, and who makes you finish inside and gives you that look like you just crossed a line and she kinda liked it. Up to you.
