Become Alpha is a porn game with tons of memes, kickass branching storyline, quests, RPG-like experience system, and a possibility to have sex with many partners. It's also pretty damn funny. The story is about Harry Panuchkin who's a nerd and a wannabe gangster. He has a big dick, but never actually used it. It's your job to help him get the pussy and make him a proper alpha male, that he always wanted to be.

This thing is like somebody mashed up a horny Pokémon convention, a cheap RPG maker project, and a bad joke from a Discord server, then somehow it actually… works. You wake up in this anime-ass geek convention where every “monster” you fight is actually a girl in cosplay, and half the gameplay is basically you trying to get them undressed without getting your ass kicked in turn-based combat. It’s all classic RPG structure, but instead of grinding slimes, you’re chasing a Jolteon girl in a maid outfit who stuns you by shaking her tits at you. The whole loop is simple: walk around the con map, poke suspicious stuff like tall grass and weird corners, trigger encounters, win the fight, fill your little sticker collection and Cosplayer Compendium with more “reward” images and tear states. It sounds boring when I say it like that, but when you actually sit there trying to min-max your skills just to see the next torn costume version of Gardevoir maid, suddenly it feels like Excel with boobs. Which is kind of my dream job, to be honest, but also not at all.

What hits me most is how it leans into parody without getting pretentious. This is not high art, it knows it, and that’s why it’s funny. The jokes are very “Newgrounds 2012” energy: characters talking shit, dumb puns, meta comments when you lose. At one point I picked the wrong dialog option on a date with Ivy in the cafe, and instead of the usual “bad end”, she just drags you into this awkward, horny small talk that feels exactly like a failed Tinder meetup, except she’s in costume and you’re basically trying to unlock her beach CG. The Maid Cafe is the real star though. It’s like a data dashboard of fetishes: you walk in, and your brain starts building mental pie charts of “cat ears”, “thigh-highs”, “bare shoulders with the fabric barely holding”. Half of the cast is parody of Pokémon girls and Eeveelution cosplayers, and the other half is “what if a normal con girl just went way too hard on the roleplay and now you have to fight her bra off”. Battle mechanics are basic but they sneak in some neat little choices. There’s this moment where you see a shiny-like encounter in the tall grass, and you’re sitting there rubbing the mouse over it like some degenerate, hoping it triggers a rare girl instead of the same basic cosplayer with one less button done up. When it works you feel like a genius. When it fails you just feel like a guy rubbing a virtual bush for hentai.

I like how horny it is without trying to be classy. Clothes rip in stages during battles, you see the same pose evolve from “fully dressed and mad at you” to “tits out, mascara slightly smudged, still talking trash”. The gallery in the Compendium shows you every combat pose and every tear level once you’ve earned them, which scratches the completionist itch way too hard. It actually made me replay some areas just to fill in missing girls on the map, like I was doing some wholesome Pokédex run, except instead of “seen / caught” it’s “seen / stripped”. At the same time, the pacing can be a bit of a mess. Sometimes you walk around forever with nothing happening, then suddenly three lewd encounters and a date event fire one after another, like the RNG is drunk. I ended up alt-tabbing between this and checking charts in Google Sheets, which is pretty funny, since my brain kept trying to calculate “cosplayer per room” density like I was modeling user retention. Also, I have to complain about one stupid tiny thing: the way some dialog lines scroll and then stop half a pixel off-center makes my eye twitch every time. Completely ruined my immersion in the important scientific activity of chasing half-naked Gardevoir maid around a cafe. Still went back for her anyway. Obviously.

Old perv in a dusty manor calls you in like some porn version of Sherlock, throws you a baby photo and goes “find my 20-year-old daughter I never met.” That’s the vibe right away. It feels cheap in the good way, like those crusty old hentai DVDs you’d hide behind “normal” anime on the shelf. You’re a private detective, sure, but mostly you’re the kind of “detective” who solves mysteries with his dick and whatever half-ass charm lines the game gives you. One second you’re doing fake noir investigation, next second you’re balls deep in some girl who absolutely should not be trusting this random guy who just showed up asking weird questions. The tone jumps from goofy humor to full-on filth so fast it’s kind of perfect. Totally not serious, the writing is broken in places and some lines sound like they were translated twice, but that actually fits the vibe. Like, you ask about clues and ten seconds later she’s on her knees, gagging on you to “help the investigation.” Logical? No. Hot? Yeah, kinda.

Characters are classic porn archetypes and it doesn’t pretend to be more. Big boobs everywhere, like gravity gave up. You’ve got the redhead with attitude that melts the second you push her against something, the blonde maid who keeps saying “it’s wrong” while still taking every drop, the sweet brunette who looks innocent until she’s riding you and begging for a creampie because “maybe that will bring the truth out.” Dialog makes no sense sometimes, but then she’s drooling around a deepthroat scene and your brain stops caring. Titfuck, paizuri, long blowjob routes where you can actually see her get tired, then keep going, facial all over her face and hair, the usual, but it stacks nicely. I kinda hated that one minigame where you have to hit the right timing to “seduce” them with your answers, because the hitbox on the bar thing feels off, like my mouse lags only in that part. Still, when you finally get it right and it cuts to her bent over, ass up, pussy and asshole both shiny and ready, you kind of forgive the jank. Anal scenes are very porn-logic, no prep, just spit and go, and surprisingly that fits the absurd tone. There’s this milk bit too that caught me off guard, not full-on fetish focus, more like a short detour, and then it never really comes back properly, which annoys me more than it should. But yeah, the whole “games of desire” thing here is basically: say the flirty line, click through, watch them break, collect another messy cumshot in a new position, pretend the “case” matters while you definitely forgot what the old man even wanted.

Con-Quest is one of those horny little browser things that looks kind of silly at first, then three minutes later you’re way too invested in whether some half-naked Pikachu cosplayer is going to stomp you or blow you a kiss. It plays like an RPG that forgot to be serious, which is good, but if you care about accessibility like I do, it also kinda forgot blind and low-vision players exist. The whole game is just walls of small bright text on bright backgrounds, no text size slider, no contrast options, no colorblind presets, nothing. I tried zooming in with Chrome and Firefox, had to keep dragging the screen around like some weird porn spreadsheet. And yeah, I know, you came here to jerk off, not to read a UI audit, but still. When Vanilla storms around the convention hunting the money thief, you get these fun, snappy lines, but if you have any reading difficulty or ADHD it turns into “click, click, where was I again.” They sped up the text speed which sounds good, until your eyes are slower than the horny dialogue and you’re chasing every line like it is Snapchat. At least the animated portraits are nice and expressive, Ivy’s smug grin is perfect when she’s basically edging you with teasing comments, but they don’t help when you can’t tell which character is speaking because the name text is tiny and there is zero voice indication.

The lewd part is funny and stupid in a good way. You’re running around this con full of cosplayers who clearly did not come for child friendly content. There’s a Meowth girl who basically flirts by bullying you, dressed in ears, tail, tight little outfit that clings like latex, and the “reward” is you humiliating her through battle and then getting this multi-stage animated scene where she goes from cocky to absolutely ruined for you. It is not subtle. Pokemon parody everywhere, bootleg mons jokes, sexy Flygon girl pinned into this “oops I fell on you” pose, Mia and Nia doing this twin act that feels like it wants to be wholesome and still ends up about you undressing them with stickers. The sticker book is basically your porn gallery, of course, but cycling characters with keyboard or screen reader? Forget it. I tried NVDA and JAWS out of habit, they both just saw a pile of unlabeled buttons and decorative images. No alt text, no focus order that makes sense, just “button, button, button” so if you play by ear it is like trying to masturbate while somebody reads you the settings menu of Microsoft Word. The new second floor is fun to explore, the whole “Vanilla might have this thief killed” plot gives her a mean streak that is kinda hot, kinda scary, but if you’re sensitive to flicker or fast motion, the quick sliding portraits in dialogue and sudden UI shifts can be a bit much and there is no toggle. Funny thing is, they clearly know how to tweak code, optimize performance, hook up animated rewards, tease you with topless alt portraits, but a simple “bigger font” button or high-contrast mode is still missing. I keep grumbling about that while also chasing every new horny cosplayer quest like a dog with a bone, which probably says more about me than about the game.
