Goblin Down feels like someone took a messy affair from a cheap motel, stitched it into a fantasy story, then forgot to iron the seams. Which I mean as a compliment. As a lingerie designer I kept thinking of it like a jealous little boudoir drama: tiny space, three bodies, way too much skin and not enough honesty. You start as this rookie adventurer who once got saved by a goblin girl, then years later she’s your wife, Qilka, and she’s basically the only one in the house with any common sense. Her design hits weirdly close to how I sketch green-skinned models: short, soft belly, those slightly too-big eyes that look innocent even when she’s getting railed, and that cheap village dress that screams “I can be pulled aside in one motion.” It’s not elegant, but it works. Like lace that scratches but looks hot in photos.

What hooked me most wasn’t even the orc at first, it was how fast the mood in the house rots once he shows up. One scene you bring this huge hurt bastard home like some stray dog, next scene you’re watching her fuss over him, wiping his chest, his thighs, pretending she’s just doing first aid while her cheeks are already a little flushed. There is this early voyeur moment where you peek through the cracked door and the animation has her hand hovering just a bit too long over his crotch, like she’s “accidentally” brushing it. That’s when the game stopped feeling like a heroic fantasy and more like catching your partner sexting with someone bigger. The actual sex escalates in a way that made my stomach twist: first it’s innocent tending, then a clumsy handjob where she looks like she’s not even sure how she got there, then full-on sloppy oral with her ears twitching and eyes rolled up, that classic ahegao face that would look stupid if the guilt wasn’t so heavy. Sometimes her expression is a bit too cartoony for the mood, by the way. I wanted one scene where she just looks wrecked inside, not only drooling and cross-eyed. But they never go there, they stay in that porn comic style, which annoyed me and I still kept going.

What I like, or hate, is how the corruption isn’t only about her. You as the husband are kind of pathetic and it’s hot in a really bad way. The game gives you these choices where you can pretend nothing’s wrong, go back to your guild work, or poke around like a paranoid idiot. I picked the coward route first, just left them alone, and later there’s this animated loop of the orc lifting her by the hips and pounding her from behind in your own bedroom, her ring still on her finger, and I actually paused and stared like it was some lingerie catalog shot I needed to analyze. Her little tits bounce against his stomach, the camera lingers on the creampie dripping out of her while she whispers how “it’s fine, he’ll never know.” It’s filthy and sort of beautiful in a trashy way, like mismatched bra and panties that somehow look better than a full set. There’s one scene where she rides him in your bed, looking back at the doorway, almost like she wants you to walk in and watch. That voyeur energy is crazy, even if a few transitions feel rushed, like they skipped a beat between nervous groping and full surrender. Still, the whole thing left me thinking about designing a set inspired by her: something green and torn at the hem, a little too small, like it belongs to a wife who says she’s loyal while her thighs are still sticky from someone else. And then I remembered this is just a short visual novel and I’m overthinking it while she’s taking orc dick again in the next CG.

This one feels like reading someone’s horny diary that accidentally grew a spine and turned into a game. It’s not polished, it’s not “cinematic”, and honestly half of the time it looks like something you’d find lost on an old external drive named “stuff_final2”. But that kind of raw vibe actually fits, because the whole point here is that the dev is basically exposing his own shit: real experiences, real mistakes, real kink spirals he fell into while his relationship got slowly twisted around sex, cheating, and that whole deliciously messy hotwife / cuckold mess. You start as the guy, at first just jerking off to his own fantasies, watching his girl from the safe distance of imagination, then suddenly you’re reading and watching things that feel way too specific to be fake. You’re not picking some heroic route or “good ending”, you’re picking which angle of humiliation or arousal you want to lean into. Sometimes you’re in his head when he’s masturbating to her pics, sometimes you flip and see it from her side when she’s discovering that being watched turns her on way more than she expected. I wish the save menu didn’t look like it was made in Windows 98, but whatever, that’s another story.

There’s a scene early on where he’s sitting at his desk, pretending to work, and keeps alt-tabbing between actual spreadsheets and a short video of her sucking some guy off. It reminded me uncomfortably of having Slack in the foreground and Pornhub in a tiny VLC window behind it, praying no one walks past. The game keeps doing that kind of thing: small, stupidly real details that hit harder than any slow-mo cumshot. Like how he talks about his stomach dropping when he first sees her on a grainy phone clip, kneeling for someone else, or that awkward first time he tries to watch her get fucked live and ends up half hard, half sick, still not sure if he’s turned on by the anal pounding she’s taking or the way she keeps glancing at the camera like she forgot he exists. The sex is not shy at all: full-on oral scenes, messy vaginal fucking, her getting pushed into more exhibitionist stuff, even that moment where she fingers herself in front of a window “by accident” while knowing someone in the next building can probably see. Sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s ugly, sometimes he just sounds pathetic, which I say with love. Also, the font on the choices looks slightly off-center and it annoyed me the entire time and I kept expecting an update to fix it and it never happened. The game lets you hop perspectives later, see snippets from her and sometimes from the other guys too, and the voyeur angle gets heavier, with you watching, rewatching, pausing on little things, rewinding that one frame where her expression changes right when he slides into her bare without asking. It’s not epic, it’s not clean, it’s just this messy loop of lust, guilt, jealousy, and porn-brain, and somehow that feels more honest than half the big-budget smut out there.

Astra is exactly that kind of heroine who looks like she belongs in some stiff royal propaganda painting, then opens her mouth and talks like a horny theatre kid who just discovered freedom and lube at the same time. She bolts from her golden cage, lands on this supposedly “remote” island that feels more like a traveling circus mixed with a cabaret and a burlesque tent, and just decides, yeah, I’m a performer now, and also I’m going to fuck whoever catches my eye. The game leans really hard into this traveling-show vibe: backstage drama, improvised acts, horny fans, jealous partners, that awkward moment when your “public performance” accidentally turns way too literal because the monster girl with the big tits misheard the stage direction. There’s this one scene where Astra is trying to rehearse something serious, like political speech level serious, and suddenly the script turns into a dirty poem about her ass halfway through, because of a text mini-game that you kind of flubbed. And she just rolls with it. The crowd goes wild. She blushes, then doubles down and starts describing how she wants to ride a furry mercenary in front of everyone. That’s kind of the whole tone: messy, horny, and surprisingly self-aware about what it is.

What I really enjoyed, as a language nerd, is how the erotic dialogue is half elegant, half absolute trash in the best way. You have Astra saying stuff like “I renounce the crown, I choose my own pleasure” right before she’s getting railed by some huge monster with too many muscles and just enough manners to ask where he can finish. There’s a lot of fun with code switching: royal talk during foreplay, then she drops into full slut mode once the clothes fly off. Some lines clearly came from someone thinking in another language first, which I like a lot. You get these slightly weird metaphors like “your cock is beating at my entrance like a war drum” and it accidentally hits way harder than generic porn talk. The animated sex scenes match that vibe: they’re not trying to be super realistic, they’re just hungry, kinda theatrical. Astra has this enormous ass that the camera absolutely worships, and the game knows very well why half the people are here. The furry designs go all in on curves and fluff, especially when monster girls show up and start comparing whose tits are heavier while you’re deciding which one to help “warm up” before the show. There is one annoying thing: sometimes the choice-heavy system pretends you have ten paths, but a couple times it loops you back to the same scene, like the game’s winking at you and saying yeah, you’re fucking the princess anyway, stop pretending you want to be pure. I wish some of the combat bits mattered more for the sex outcomes, but whatever, I’m already too busy replaying the scene where Astra taunts a pissed-off marquis in full costume, then kneels in front of a “monster” on stage and sucks him off as political theatre while the crowd roars like this is the new constitution.

Whispers Beneath The Roof feels like the kind of game you open in a second tab while pretending to answer work messages on Slack, then suddenly you realize Gmail’s still on draft and you’re just staring at a pair of thighs on your screen. It sells itself simple: you’re this broke college guy moving into the house of your mom’s friend, planning to just chill, study, jerk off quietly, whatever. Then the house starts feeling way too alive. Tiny looks, long stares, the “accidental” towel slip that is absolutely not accidental. The energy is very “I shouldn’t be seeing this” and the game milks that vibe like crazy.

What stuck with me first is that milf. She’s got that combination of big tits, big ass, “I handle everything in this house” attitude, and this calm smile that looks friendly until you realize she’s reading you like a porn tab history. Loads of teasing, but not cheap teasing. She will lean too close washing dishes, hand brushing your thigh when she clearly has space, casually asking you about your “needs” while you sit there with your dick basically screaming in your boxers. I was playing in Chrome on my laptop and literally found myself leaning closer to the screen when she asked the MC to help massage her shoulders, then slowly guided his hands lower. The game really likes those slow burn scenes where you think “ok, just cleavage and flirting” and then one more click later she’s pressing her foot against your crotch under the table and pretending nothing is happening. That footjob dinner scene made me pause Spotify because I wanted to hear the sound design properly, no joke.

Sex scenes are actually pretty filthy once they kick in. There’s that first time she decides you’re not just the “guest student” anymore and climbs on top of you like she owns the whole situation, which she kind of does. She holds your wrists, grinds on you, keeps eye contact, talks to you like you’re a horny kid who needs to be trained. Full-on female domination vibe, but not leather and chains, more like soft voice, heavy hips, zero mercy. The game lets things build up: she makes you watch her masturbate in just a shirt, makes you finish yourself with her sitting close enough that you can smell her, and then later she simply wraps those thighs around you and says not to pull out. The creampie angle comes in hard, literally, with her tightening around you while whispering stuff right in your ear. Oral, handjobs, all there, usually with her in control of the pace, treating your cock like her personal toy. Sometimes she’s gentle, sometimes she just uses you and walks away like nothing happened, which weirdly turned me on more than the soft stuff.

Not everything hits perfect though. Some of the choices pretend to be big, but they mostly just change if she teases you first or after. The pacing jumps: you go from “I’m a respectful guest” to “I’m licking the same milf’s pussy on the couch while she tells you to stay quiet” a bit too fast in some routes, and one moment of stiff dialogue pulled me right out of it, like the writer forgot how humans talk for one line. But then she pushed the MC’s head back between her legs and I immediately stopped caring. One detail I really liked: her casual barefoot moments. The camera just hangs on her feet on your lap, her toes moving while she asks about your classes, then you notice your dick hard and she notices that you noticed. It’s such a small thing, but that build up to a footjob made the payoff ten times nastier. Also, the first time she makes you finish inside her while she’s on top, holding you down and breathing heavy, then gives you that little lazy smile like “yeah, you’re mine now” felt way too intimate for a browser tab. In a good way. Or a bad way. Hard to tell while you’re wiping your screen.
