The CG gallery in Triple Ex is a mess. Not the art itself, that's fine, standard hentai stuff with the exaggerated proportions you'd expect from the big tits tag. No, the problem is how you unlock it. I spent maybe twenty minutes clicking through dialogue about Jake's lost job and his strained relationship with his wife, waiting for something, anything, to happen. The writing keeps hammering on about his dignity and his freedom like it's a philosophy thesis instead of a porn game. Then suddenly his stepdaughter walks in wearing basically nothing and the scene just... starts. No buildup. No tension. Just a hard cut from moping to fucking.

And look, I get it. The cheating tag is right there. The whole point is taboo family dynamics falling apart. But the game seems confused about whether it wants me to feel bad for Jake or get off on his terrible decisions. There's this one scene where he's going at it with his wife's sister, and the text box is still going on about how much he loves his family. My brother in Christ, you are literally inside her. The emotional whiplash is unreal. I kept thinking about that one Twitter meme where the guy is crying while doing the thumbs up. That's Jake. That's the whole game.

The relationship system, if you can call it that, feels like it was designed by someone who's only ever seen human interaction described in a wikiHow article. You pick dialogue options that are either "sad dad" or "horny dad" and the story lurches forward regardless. I wish the game would just commit to being trashy. Stop trying to make me care about his career. Nobody is clicking on a visual novel tagged family and cheating for the nuanced portrayal of unemployment. We're here for the messy, awful, CG hentai scenes. And those are... fine. The stepdaughter has a scene where she's bent over a kitchen counter that's genuinely hot if you can ignore the three paragraphs of guilt monologue preceding it. Which you can't, because the game won't let you skip text you haven't read before. A sin. An actual sin.
