Barrowport is the kind of town you scroll past on Google Maps and think, nah, nothing fun ever happens there, just fog and people who smell like wet books. Then this game quietly opens with you being a professor of old creepy stuff, and ten minutes later you’re balls-deep in a girl who literally asked you to ruin her life. It’s like if Silent Hill matched with FetLife and both of them were too horny to say no. The whole thing leans into that “respectable academic with a filthy secret” vibe, like you’re the guy who does dry lectures in the daytime and then goes home to a folder of cursed sex rituals on his desktop between Discord and Steam.

Theresa is the one that really sells it. She doesn’t feel like a generic anime waifu copy-pasted from some asset pack. She’s needy in a way that feels wrong and hot at the same time, the kind of girl who looks you in the eye and says “do worse” when you already feel like you went too far. One minute she’s this shy rich kid, proper clothes, perfect posture, and the next she’s on her knees in a dusty office full of old relics, asking you about your “special research” with her mouth full. And then the game starts pushing corruption on her so hard you kinda forget you were hired for actual work. She wants you to break her, and the story actually lets you do it, not just in “oh no, I’m so bad” dialog, but in stages. First you’re just touching and teasing, then she’s begging for you bare, then she’s the one suggesting risky shit in places where anyone could walk in. There’s a futa/trans angle showing up in the protagonist side too, depending how you read it; the game plays with that in a weirdly casual way, like yeah, you’re packing and cursed and maybe not completely human anymore, anyway put it in her. Sometimes it almost feels like a horny Lovecraft fanfic that escaped AO3 and decided to grow a spine.

The horror side actually works better because of the sex, which I didn’t expect. You’re in these dark halls, old churches, basements full of things that are not supposed to move, and you’re still thinking about how good it felt when Theresa arched her back the moment you slid into her. There are monsters, not just as “oh no fight scene” but as this wet, breathing background noise that sneaks into the erotica. Tentacles brushing thighs, shadows that watch while you’re fucking, relics that hum when you push her over the edge. One scene had me laughing and hard at the same time: you’re supposed to examine this relic, all serious professor mode, and instead you end up using the table it’s on to rail Theresa until she’s moaning loud enough to wake something under the floor. The mystery part kind of stumbles sometimes, like the pacing forgets you might enjoy actually solving stuff and not only pounding your student senseless, but then the game throws a twisted little reveal about what you really are, or why she knew your secret, and suddenly you’re staring at the screen while your dick’s still in your hand. I wish the UI didn’t feel like some half-finished Ren’Py skin someone threw together during a Discord call, but whatever, you’re not here for ergonomic buttons. The fun is in slowly dragging this girl out of her safe world into monsters, cults, and raw vaginal scenes where she asks for more even when she’s already shaking. Take your time, don’t rush her paths, save often, choose the nastier option even when it feels like too much and just let Barrowport swallow you both whole.
