A random number pings your phone and for a second you think it is some boring spam, some "your parcel is on the way" crap, then the avatar pops up and it’s this ridiculous fire-haired bombshell with that kind of smug smile that basically screams: "yeah, I know you’re already hard." That is pretty much the whole mood of this game. It pretends to be about choice and romance and texting etiquette, but in reality it is about how fast you go from "who is this?" to "ok, send more pics, I’m already in too deep." The writing leans into it nicely: short, teasing messages, a lot of tiny pauses where you stare at the screen like an idiot, waiting for the three dots that never come when you expect them. It feels like being ghosted and sexted at the same time.
What I really liked is how the tone shifts in your chat with her. At first she acts like a troll. She sends flirty lines that could be jokes, like she is testing if you are a creep or just horny with some charm. If you answer too thirsty, she calls you out, but not in a heavy way, more like "wow you moved fast there, tiger." If you play cool, she pushes harder, talks about what she is wearing, drops some fetish hints that seem silly at first, then suddenly you realize your replies are way too careful because you want to see every branch. It is still short, you can finish a whole route in less time than you spend doomscrolling Twitter, but there are those little splits where your choice actually matters. One moment you are joking about her hair color, the next moment you are choosing between a shy compliment and a very explicit description of what you would do if she really showed up at your door, soaking wet from the rain, phone in hand.
The lewd stuff hits better than I expected from a "haha funny fetish VN" kind of thing. When she starts describing what she is doing on her bed, the text slows down, messages come in bursts, sometimes just one short line with a sound, or her breathing, or a picture you do not see but she describes like a voice note in text form. There is one path where she makes you type out exactly what you want her to do to herself and if you go too generic, she actually comments that you are boring and steers the scene in her own way. That tiny bit made me grin like an idiot. At the same time, sometimes the horniness jumps so quickly that the "romance" tag feels like a joke, but I kind of like that. It is romance in the sense of: two strangers oversharing, flirting, getting off, then pretending that was deep. The game knows it, it does not try to hide it. A couple of endings are unexpectedly soft though, with her falling asleep mid chat or just asking you something oddly personal right after a filthy exchange. It messes with your head in a cute, slightly perverse way. The whole thing is like opening a wrong-number text and deciding, very clearly against common sense, that you are absolutely going to flirt with this hyper redhead until everything either goes wonderfully right or delightfully wrong.
