The skip button is right there in the corner, a tiny little link that mocks you. I know because I stared at it for a solid minute during the third conversation with Jen about borrowing a sweater. This visual novel, it's got a lot of text. Like, a lot. The kind where characters describe their feelings about breakfast. You'll be clicking through walls of dialogue, and that skip link becomes a siren call. But then Sarah shows up in her school uniform, blonde hair perfectly framing that slightly confused expression she always has, and suddenly you're reading every single word.

The whole thing is a triangle between you, your stepsister Jen, and Sarah, the girl you actually want. Jen is the brunette with the sharp tongue who's always around, stealing your hoodies and giving you those looks that are supposed to mean something. The romance paths are... look, they're what you expect from a game that's more about the fantasy than the polish. The art has this rough, almost amateurish quality that somehow makes the explicit scenes hit different. It's not slick. It's not trying to be some hyper-realistic thing. It feels like someone's fever dream sketchbook, and that lack of sheen makes it dirtier somehow. There's a scene with Sarah on the couch where her skirt rides up just so, and the janky line art actually makes it more intimate, like you're peeking at something you shouldn't.

The choices are blunt instruments. You pick a dialogue option and the story lurches toward one ending or another. No subtlety. I wish the game let you be a real piece of shit, you know? Like, really lean into the stepbrother angle with Jen while stringing Sarah along. The game sort of nudges you toward being a decent guy, which feels like a missed opportunity. But then Jen will say something cutting, her brown eyes rolling, and you remember why you're clicking through all this text in the first place. The girlfriend tag is aspirational, really. You're just a dude trying to get laid, and the game knows it.
