The class system caught me off guard, not gonna lie. Here I am expecting to just click through some paranormal VN, maybe see some animated tits, and suddenly I'm allocating stat points like some Unity detective trying to reverse engineer why the hell Caleb Watson has a Wisdom score. He's a magician with an uncontrollable desire, the description says. What it doesn't say is that his uncontrollable desire extends to every pair of big tits and big ass that wanders into this school setting, and honestly, the stat progression makes those encounters feel weirdly earned. You grind a little, you solve some puzzle shit, and then boom, a monster girl is teasing you with oral sex that's rendered in 3dcg with this deliberately unpolished animation style. The jank is the point. The jank is the aesthetic. Or at least that's what I tell myself when the framerate dips during a particularly ambitious scene.

Wish the branching narrative didn't sometimes forget which branch I'm on. There's this one scene with a specter, very Hellblazer vibes, very World of Darkness if White Wolf got horny, and the dialogue tree just loops back on itself like a broken trigger. You pick the obvious flirt option, get some animated teasing, then suddenly you're back to investigating like nothing happened. It's almost charming. Almost. The Divi-Dead inspiration is clear if you squint, but Divi-Dead never had me questioning whether my superpowers were actually changing the outcome or if the game was just nodding along politely while shuffling me toward the same monster girl blowjob regardless.

The paranormal mystery stuff is genuinely interesting when it's not being interrupted by sex scenes that feel like they're apologizing for existing. And that's the contradiction. You come for the lewd content, you stay for the grimoire magic lore, you get annoyed when the lewd content pulls you out of the lore, then you get annoyed when there's too much lore between lewd scenes. Caleb's whole deal about paying the cost for truth, that's the thematic spine, but sometimes the cost is just watching an animated sequence that doesn't quite line up with the dialogue. Future combat mechanics are promised, and I can already see the janky Unity collisions in my mind. Looking forward to it.
