The Devil Investor has this thing she does with her tongue when she talks about profit margins. I can't stop thinking about it. Epifania City chewed me up and spat me into this abandoned building with nothing but a flickering neon sign and a dream of turning it into the filthiest brothel this corporate hellscape has ever seen. She believes in me. Or she believes in what my hands can build. Same thing, really.

The first courtesan I hired was a milf with lactation fantasies and a look in her eyes like she'd already calculated my net worth down to the last credit. Training her meant watching through the one way glass while she practiced on clients, her big tits bouncing, learning exactly when to tighten up during anal to make a man empty his wallet along with his balls. The voyeurism isn't just a feature, it's the whole damn management style. I spent forty minutes yesterday just observing a footjob session, taking notes on technique, completely forgetting I was supposed to be manipulating the aphrodisiac market. The stock crashed. I didn't care. Her toes were curling in this specific way that made the client make a sound I've never heard before.

The corporation mechanics are whatever. Buy upgrades, crush competitors, standard tycoon stuff. But then you unlock the gloryhole expansion and suddenly you're managing throughput like a factory floor, except the product is anonymous creampies and the workers are getting pregnant because you forgot to invest in contraception protocols. The swinging events get messy fast. One minute you're arranging tasteful partner swaps for VIP clients, the next there's a triple penetration scene happening on the bar and your best girl is demanding maternity leave. The bdsm training room has this one piece of equipment I still don't understand. It looks like a chair but wrong. I keep buying more of them.

Public use shows up in the strangest places. A defloration auction went sideways when the corporation next door tried to sabotage us with fake bids. Joke's on them, we made triple. The Devil Investor licked her lips and transferred the funds. I'm building something here. Something wet and complicated and probably illegal in three territories.

Oh man, Scarlet Spire. Where do I even. It's like someone took a 90s point and click adventure, forgot to finish the art, but then the writer went absolutely feral on the script. You play this computer analyst chick, Scarlet, called to fix some ancient server for Spire Corporation. Real "have you tried turning it off and on again" energy at the start. Then bam, she's digging through files and finds out this company is, like, cartoonishly evil. We're talking secret experiments, people disappearing, the whole nine yards of corporate thriller stuff.

The hentai scenes are where the "unpolished" tag really earns its keep. The CGs have this rough, almost sketchy quality that somehow makes the whole thing dirtier. It's not the slick, airbrushed stuff you see everywhere. This feels like finding a weird, sticky magazine under a bus seat. One minute Scarlet is typing on a keyboard, the next she's getting cornered by a security guard who's very interested in her "hacking" skills. The dialogue during these bits is so blunt it loops back around to being hilarious. "You will comply with the corporate restructuring." My brother in Christ, that's not how HR works. There's this one scene with a weird tentacle thing in a lab that made me spit my drink. Not because it was hot, but because the monster's design looked like angry spaghetti. I don't know if that was the goal.

Gameplay is just clicking through text and occasionally picking a choice that leads to a bad end or more spicy content. The music is this one lo-fi loop that will drill into your skull. I muted it after ten minutes and put on my own playlist. Honestly, the whole thing feels like a fever dream you'd have after watching a bad sci-fi movie and eating too much cheese. It's janky, the translation is occasionally pure word salad, but it's got this weird, grimy charm. Dare to play it alone, or invite company?

Started a spreadsheet for this one. I'm tracking corruption percentages like it's quarterly earnings, but my data's all fucked now because the branching is legitimately insane for what looks like a basic office infiltration plot. You're the hacker, right? Got your wife Clara, rack so big it probably has its own corporate insurance policy, and this intern Anna who's way too eager about the undercover work. Standard setup in the business district.

Wish there was more actual hacking instead of just dialogue choices that lead to the inevitable. Clara's loyalty meter I clocked at least 14 different states but you can never really know if the percentages are honest or if the game's lying to you about the lies. That's probably the point. The gallery's filling up with CG hentai scenes where her "assistant" duties get redefined by the board of directors, and there's this one sequence in the server room that made me lose my save file. On purpose. Had to replay three hours because the rat bastard VP has unique dialogue if you catch his paper trail early. Nobody talks about this.

The corruption mechanics aren't linear which is ruining my life. Anna corrupted before Clara? Different set of betrayal animations. Both corrupted simultaneously? Unlockable assistant synergy scene that you can't find unless you deliberately fail the quarterly audit. The corporation tag isn't just flavor, it's actually a character with more personality than half the cast. Forgot to mention you can technically win without anyone getting passed around the executive suite. Technically. Saw the achievement percentage for it on the launcher. 2.3% of players. That tracks. Something about the way Clara adjusts her blouse during board meetings just makes you want to pick the wrong option.
