Cross Worlds looks pretty harmless on the surface. You’re just some burned‑out city guy who lands in a “better” version of his own life, right? Yeah, no. Give it ten minutes and you’re already neck‑deep in weird magic bullshit, hot monster girls, and this creeping sense that your brain is not fully your own anymore. The game plays like a dating sim had a messy one‑night stand with a fantasy adventure VN and forgot to use protection. You talk, you flirt, you poke around the town, poke around the guild, poke around the girls, and the game slowly teaches you that your emotions are basically weapons. Or toys. Depends how much of a bastard you want to be. One moment you’re just trying to figure out where the fuck the inn is, the next moment you realize you can nudge what a girl is feeling, just slightly, and suddenly she “decides” it’s fine to show a little more skin in public than she ever would. It starts with blushes and small favors, then you’re pushing them into situations where they’re half naked in crowded streets, pretending it’s normal and they’re totally fine, while you know damn well you twisted their mind just enough to enjoy it.

The mind control here is not in-your-face hypnosis with spirals and cheesy phrases, it’s more like emotional corruption dressed as “self‑discovery”. There’s this one scene where a monster girl adventurer is acting all proud and heroic, and if you play it right you slowly chip at that armor, turning her protective instinct into something hungry and needy, until she’s on her knees in a back alley, drool on her chin, stuffing your cock in her mouth like it’s some divine quest reward. She keeps glancing over her shoulder because people might walk by, and the game actually leans into that, letting you decide if you push her to keep going or let her cling to a bit of dignity. Spoiler: I did not let her. And the game kind of rewards you for being a dick. You feel the MC’s “force” inside him growing every time you cross that line, every time you turn a normal situation into something filthy. That healer girl who just wanted to help you? Turn her “healing checkup” into a full inspection where she ends up naked on the clinic table, legs spread, insisting it’s just part of the exam while her tits are practically spilling out and your hand is on her throat holding her still. She doesn’t even understand why her body reacts so hard to your touch, and you definitely don’t explain it to her.

What I like is that the game doesn’t scream at you “you are evil now”. It just quietly keeps track while you go from awkward newbie to a guy who can rearrange a woman’s priorities till sucking you off in some temple corner feels more important than her actual god. There’s a weird “hero ranking” thing going on, where the same powers you use to charm and control girls also make you rise in status in the city, so half the time you’re talking about quests and monsters, and the other half you’re arranging “training sessions” that magically end with some big tit warrior pinned against a wall, armor half transformed into something more revealing, her moaning loud enough that people outside probably hear everything. It has those slow-burn corruption scenes where a shy mage starts off covering herself even in casual clothes, then a few chapters later she walks around in something so tiny that if she bends over, the whole street gets a show. And she blushes, yeah, but she doesn’t stop, because you already rewired her to crave the eyes on her body. The fun part is when you catch yourself using the emotion options almost automatically, like opening Instagram without thinking. You tell yourself “I’ll play the nice route this time” then the game politely hands you a chance to push a girl just a bit further than last time, a little more public, a little more rough, and your finger just clicks it like, of course.

Intertwined feels like somebody smashed together a horny gay romance, creepy cosmic horror and furry body weirdness, then wrapped it in a visual novel that pretends to be gentle but keeps poking places you try not to think about. You play a guy who is very much not okay, walking around in this fantasy world that looks normal on the surface and then suddenly is not normal at all. The game never just goes “here is your route, pick your boyfriend.” Instead it keeps a quiet little score in the background with this devotion thing, and then later the story suddenly remembers that choice you made when you were half distracted scrolling Twitter and hits you with “oh you wanted this, remember?” That part actually got me to close Chrome on my phone a few times and stare at my ceiling, which is not what I usually expect from a porn game where I was mostly trying to see some cock and maybe a cute tail. The sex scenes are not thrown at you every five minutes, they sneak up on you when you are emotionally soft, after some death talk or some heavy trauma shit, and I kind of hated that and also loved it. One minute you are reading about someone’s wounds and the next you are watching two guys tear each other’s clothes off in a ruined temple like this is a therapy session with dicks out. The stripping is sometimes playful, like “oops my shirt fell,” but then you get stuff where you are forced to stand half naked in someplace you really should not, while monsters and maybe gods are watching, and that hits the exhibitionism nerve in a nasty good way. It is lewd, but sweaty, nervous-lewd, not “haha porn logic.”

I tried my best to skip combat or violence when possible, and the game actually lets you be that kind of soft idiot. You can avoid some fights by talking, flirting, or just choosing not to push people, which I appreciate, but then consequence bites you in the ass later because you did not grow the balls the story wanted you to grow. Bodies are not fixed here. One scene you are still just a scared human guy, later you wake up with claws, fur, or things under your skin that move wrong, and the text leans hard into that transformation horror. It is sexy and gross at the same time, like your own reflection is trying to seduce you while also whispering that you are not really you anymore. The furry stuff is not just “he has ears and a tail, please clap.” There is this slow, squirmy feeling of changing into something more wild, more dangerous, and sometimes that turns you on against your own will, which is fucked up in a way that works here. Some of the romance routes feel cozy and warm, with two guys just trying to hold each other together in a broken world, and then out of nowhere the story drops another mental breakdown or suicide memory and I suddenly wonder why I was jerking off five minutes earlier. The art is 2D and actually expressive, like faces change a lot, not just copy paste, but every now and then a hand looks a bit weird and it stuck in my head way more than it should. I kept poking the save slots like a maniac because the devotion system loves to lock scenes behind “you were not devoted enough” or “you were devoted to the wrong thing,” so there is this slightly toxic replay feeling where you go back just to see that one alternate sex scene with more skin and maybe more teeth. Best way to enjoy it? Play horny, but don’t rush the text. Let the quiet moments and the fucked up cosmic stuff marinate, then when the clothes finally come off, ride that scene for every dirty, uncomfortable, delicious second.

This one feels like someone took a marriage counseling session, set it on fire, and then kept all the sex parts. You’re not playing some generic harem hero here, you’re the husband who keeps smiling while his stomach slowly knots up, watching his “perfect” wife get more and more curious about things that definitely weren’t in the church vows. The game doesn’t rush it. At first it’s just small stuff: lingering stares from guys with way too much confidence, “innocent” touches that go on one second too long, her laughing a bit too hard at some other dude’s joke. The humiliation is soft at the start, like background noise: a hand on her lower back, a “friendly” hug, the way you stand there pretending this is all fine while your brain screams. Then it escalates. Of course it does.

As an accessibility nerd, this VN made me swear at my screen more than once. Ren’Py can give pretty basic comfort tools, but here half of them feel like afterthought. Text size is okay, not great. On my Steam Deck I had to lean in to read some dialogue because the color contrast with certain backgrounds is trash. The settings are there, but it’s like the dev just dropped the default menu and went “yeah, good enough.” No simple high contrast mode, no bold option, skip settings a bit clumsy. Keyboard navigation technically works, but if you’re used to stuff like Twine projects that respect your tab key, this will annoy you. I spent like ten minutes trying to use just keyboard and finally said screw it and grabbed the mouse. On mobile Chrome, pinching to zoom is clunky with the UI frames. Also, who puts tiny tooltips on a porn game? I’m not here to squint at icons wondering what they do. On the other hand, the choice prompts are pretty clear visually, and at least the text is not super thin or weird fancy font. Very middle ground. Like they almost care about accessibility, then got horny and forgot.

Anyway, the actual meat of the story is all about NTR and corruption, and the game is not shy. If you’re one of those people who likes “soft NTR where nothing truly happens,” this is not that. The wife doesn’t just flirt; she slides into this world where monsters, “friends,” strangers, and guys who look like they walked out of a gym fetish subreddit all get their turn testing how far her halo can slip. There are big asses everywhere, and the art is honest about it. No delicate shy cheeks, more like “holy shit, that thing is a shelf” while hands grab and squeeze and spread. The monsters scenes are extra filthy because the dev really leans into the wrongness: size difference, claws on skin, that “I know I should stop but I can’t” face. Interracial stuff is front and center too, and the game really plays on that tension: the husband watching tall, hung guys claim what he thought was “his,” and he tries to cope like it’s one of those netorase fantasies where he’s in on it. Except he’s clearly not. He’s sweating, overthinking, pretending this is “for her pleasure” while the scenes are framed just enough to make you feel his fear of being replaced. Sometimes she asks him what he thinks, and the choices don’t let you magically stop the NTR. You just pick what flavor of helpless you want. It’s nasty, in the good way if your stomach likes that tight, sick, horny mix. Groping is constant: crowded tavern, carriage rides, “accidental” touches that become a full-on hand under her clothes. She resists less each time, and that slide into corruption feels believable, almost scary, like watching a friend you know slowly choose the worst option every time.

Playing it like a therapist is weirdly satisfying. You watch this dude rationalize his own cuckold fantasy into existence, then lose control of it. The UI could make that experience smoother for people with low vision or motor issues, but here we are. If you want to squeeze every filthy drop out of it, I suggest this: turn auto-forward on, slow it down a bit so you’re forced to sit with his pain, not just click through to the money shots; avoid skipping scenes, even if they feel “slow”; and when the wife starts enjoying other hands a little too much, don’t try to look away. Let the shame soak. That’s the whole point.

Champion of I: Luxuria feels like someone mashed together a horny tabletop campaign, a twisted VN, and one of those old browser RPGs you secretly played in the school computer lab, then sprinkled futa demon dick on top just to see who flinches first. You play a male Guardian tossed into this trial continent thing, Eden, where every second NPC is either trying to kill you, fuck you, convert you to their weird cult, or some chaotic mix of all three. It’s fantasy, but not the comfy kind. More like “congrats, you survived the ambush, here’s a monster girl who wants to drain you dry through your cock” kind. And the game just looks at you like, well, what do you do now, genius. The whole thing runs as a sort of point and click story flow with turn based combat stapled into it, where you’re juggling stats, conditions and relationships while also trying to remember which character you promised anal to. Scenes swing pretty fast from tense combat to filthy sex, and sometimes both bleed into each other in this way that feels kinda wrong and kinda perfect for this setting.

The sex itself is not subtle at all. You get vaginal, oral, anal, futa on male, monster girls who are way too into your suffering, weird swinging situations where your supposed harem members are trading fluids like it’s a Discord server gone wild. There’s this one moment early where you “save” a monster girl and the game quietly checks if you’re the kind of degenerate who offers your ass as a thank you or if you play the noble hero and just, you know, fuck her normally. Later on, I ran into a futa priestess who basically turned a victory scene into a full on worship session around my cock, and the game let me either lean into the goddess of lust vibe or resist it and feel like an absolute idiot. The writing is talky, sometimes too dramatic, then suddenly drops a line that sounds like it was written by a horny shitposter on Reddit. I kinda love that, but also sometimes it reads like the dev wrote it at 3% brain battery while scrolling Twitter on another monitor. The combat is fine, sometimes actually brutal, with status effects that stick around and make the next sex scene hit different because your guy is exhausted, cursed, or literally marked by some chaos thing. There is a sandbox feel, lots of routes, lots of choices that don’t hold your hand, and yeah, you can absolutely screw yourself out of content by choosing badly without the game apologizing. It’s messy, thirsty, dark as hell, but in that way where you keep telling yourself “one more scene” while Discord pings stack up and you ignore them.
