The first thing that hits you is the voice acting. Or the lack of it. It’s just this dead silence with text boxes and these 3D models that look like they escaped from a mid-2000s tech demo. The repairman guy, our hero, he’s got this thousand-yard stare like he’s already seen too many leaky pipes. The whole setup is so bare-bones it’s almost a vibe. You’re this dude, down on his luck, and then suddenly you’re not. The story just kind of throws you into it, no real tutorial, just “here’s a wrench, go fix your life.” The first real scene where things get going, he’s alone in some dingy apartment and just... goes for it. A full-on, unskippable masturbation sequence. The animation is jerky, like a robot learning to dance, and the sound is just this wet, rhythmic slapping that loops a beat too late. It’s so awkwardly sincere I couldn’t look away.
The CG hentai bits are the whole point, obviously. They’re static images that try to be animated with these weird, slow pans and zooms. It’s like someone discovered the Ken Burns effect and thought, “Yeah, this’ll make it hot.” The girls, when they finally show up, have that plastic, airbrushed look where their skin doesn’t quite sit right on their bones. But there’s this one scene with a client in a fancy house, the whole “I’m here to fix the cable” setup, and the sheer absurdity of it clicked. The dialogue is so blunt. No flirting, just “I am aroused, let’s proceed.” It’s a kinetic novel so you’re just a passenger, which is fine because making choices would imply the game cares what you think. It doesn’t.
Wish there was more of a game here, something to do with the repair jobs. Like a mini-game where you actually fix a dishwasher and the better you do, the more unhinged the reward scene gets. But no, it’s just a straight line from point broke to point boned. The service tag is a lie, he’s the worst repairman ever. I don’t know who this is for. People who find broken Source Filmmaker models genuinely erotic? It’s so unpolished it’s almost a parody of itself, but I’m not sure it’s in on the joke. I kept clicking, though. Something about that dead-eyed protagonist just going through the motions, one sticky situation to the next, it’s weirdly hypnotic. Like watching a car crash in slow motion where the cars are just really horny mannequins.
