Captain, this thing feels like somebody took Mass Effect, ripped out the morality system, stuffed a horny brain into the Normandy, and said: “Ok, now every decision is about who you’re fucking first.” You start as this human dude basically holding the last shreds of humanity in his pants, I mean, hands, surrounded by four alien girls who all look like someone saw Tali and Liara on Pinterest and went “yeah, but horny.” The vibe is half sci fi rescue mission, half “HR would have an aneurysm if this was real.” One minute you’re checking ship status, the next you’re getting a face full of blue alien tits and pretending it’s part of the mission briefing. Feels professional, in a very unprofessional way.

What I liked is how the game pretends to be a real RPG for like five seconds before you remember you just clicked that exploration node because you wanted to see if the busty insect girl would sit on your face after the fight. There are little battles, simple as hell, not Dark Souls, more like “tap here, watch numbers go brrr, ok good boy, here’s a porno reward.” The best part is when you’re talking to the crew and the “serious” sci fi dialogue suddenly slides into “by the way, captain, I need a ‘physical’ check-up” and you know damn well this is going to end in some animated oral scene where she’s on her knees in the engine room, giving you a blowjob next to a reactor that’s probably not OSHA compliant. Tali-like girl? Total nervous wreck with big tits spilling out of her suit the second you get a private moment. Liara-like one? Brainy, soft-spoken, then you unlock a group scene and she’s getting titfucked while still trying to explain some alien artifact lore like that’s important.

It gets stupid in the best way when the game just throws multiple penetration at you like “yeah, captain, the fate of the species depends on you fucking all of them at once, no pressure.” One scene you’re pinning some monster girl to the captain’s chair, groping all over her, she’s riding you, and another alien slides in to sit on your face and you’re like “this is what Starfleet dreams are made of.” Vaginal, oral, creampie, group sex, it’s all there, and half the time you’re finishing inside them while some quest log in the corner quietly updates like “objective complete.” I wish the sandbox part let you wander the ship more freely and just harass everyone, but whatever, it still lets you poke around, talk, fuck, do a tiny mission, fuck again. Also, one dialogue choice early on is worded in such a scuffed way I had to read it three times, and now I keep thinking about that instead of the plot, which is hilarious because the plot is literally “save humanity with your dick.” Anyway. It’s a very serious heroic sci fi game where you accidentally end up with alien girls dripping cum on the bridge chair and nobody cleans it up.

You come back from college expecting the usual awkward small talk and maybe some boring family drama, and instead the whole house feels like a porn set that hasn’t been set up right yet. Dad bailed to the Caribbean with his side piece, left a financial crime mess behind, and the place that used to be your “home” is about to turn into a student dorm full of horny people with no personal boundaries. As a convention planner I look at this and think, yeah, this is what happens when you run a cosplay afterparty in a regular hotel: too many bodies, not enough rules, and everyone secretly wants to fuck someone they absolutely shouldn’t. The main guy, Mark or whatever name you give him, is basically the only semi-functional adult around, but the game keeps throwing him into situations where his dick makes the decisions faster than his brain. Half the time you’re walking down a hallway and it feels like a hentai meet-and-greet: ex-girlfriend broke and bitter, twins who clearly share more than just clothes, a “totally not your mom” type with big tits that react to every touch, and girls who grew up around you but suddenly show up with huge asses and zero shame about teasing you in the kitchen.

What caught me off guard is how it mixes sleepy cozy moments with full-on degeneracy. One scene you’re sitting on a couch, phone in hand, just scrolling Telegram like a normal person, reading some dumb cosplay group chat, and the next second there’s a girl napping next to you in a tank top, tits half out, and the game quietly offers you choices that go from “be a decent human” to “yeah, touch her while she sleeps.” That whole sleep sex angle is handled with this weird, slow burn build-up: first a little groping, then a hand slipping under panties, then it just escalates into creampie while she mumbles your name in her dreams. Some routes double down on that corruption vibe, where a girl starts as shy and “good” and ends up riding you reverse cowgirl in your old bedroom while complaining she’s leaking your cum and might get pregnant again. The POV scenes make it feel like you’re the one looking down at her glazed face, or watching your cock sliding between her huge tits while milk starts to drip and you’re thinking, this is the kind of thing we’d have to ban from the family-friendly cosplay contest, but everyone would still joke about in Discord later. There are routes where you slide into a full harem situation without even meaning to: milfs in yoga pants grinding on your lap under the table, a virgin begging you to go slow then asking for anal two scenes later, someone’s feet on your cock in a “just teasing” moment that ends with a sticky mess on her toes. It’s messy, horny, often wrong in that delicious incest-and-netori way, people moaning in full voice acting while getting throat-fucked on a bed that used to be yours as a kid, and the game just lets you keep pushing, pretending this is all about turning the house into a dorm when everyone knows it’s really about turning every woman in it into another wet, fucked-out memory.

Lily wakes up as literal sex royalty and the game just kind of shrugs and says, “yeah, that tracks.” You’re this smug futa lady of the manor with a dick that might actually have its own personality, and a house full of maids who apparently missed every HR training ever written. The whole place is this horny church-meets-fantasy-meets-weeb fever dream. One moment you’re listening to some priest talk about purity and the “sacred body” and five clicks later you’re balls deep in a monster girl maid who still calls you “Milady” while you’re making her see god. And then the game pretends this is totally normal. The corruption stuff is funny because it’s not subtle at all: shy virgins go from “I can’t do this, it’s sinful...” to “put it all inside and don’t pull out” in what, two scenes? Sometimes in the same scene. It feels wrong and hot and a bit stupid, in a good way. Also there is way too much focus on internal shots. I don’t even like those usually, but here I caught myself waiting for them because the animations line up with the text better than most “serious” games that pretend to be RPGs.

The dungeon parts are like a dare from the dev: “you came here to jerk off, let’s see if I can trick you into turn-based combat.” And it kind of works. You go into these fantasy ruins to fight horny monsters and religious weirdos and it’s all very “cheap JRPG combat on a porn budget” but then suddenly there’s a group scene if you lose, or a humiliation *** scene if you mess up on purpose, which I definitely did not do three times in a row. When you win, you drag new toys and new girls back to the manor like Pokémon, except instead of Pikachu it’s a milf nun with huge tits that jiggle more than the HP bar moves. You manage the house in this half-functional way: assign maids, tweak duties, unlock new rooms, make decisions that clearly only exist so Lily can screw more staff in more places. The harem thing gets absurd fast. You have monster girls, traps that are prettier than half the maids, older women who call you “young lady” right before you titfuck them until they’re cross-eyed. I wish the humor was less “haha sex religion” sometimes, but then I get a scene with a stuck-up maid forced to jerk you off with that offended face and I forget what I was complaining about. The game pretends to be a VN with optional adventure stuff, but the truth is it’s a corruption simulator wrapped in janky dungeon crawls, half-serious management choices, and way too many maids who insist it’s an honor to be creampied by the futa lady of the house.

This thing feels like somebody took a startup comedy from Netflix, ripped out the safe parts, and just left the horny chaos on the desk. You’re this chill dude who somehow pulled Mia, who’s way too hot and way too smart for you, and suddenly you both get kicked straight in the career. New city, zero plan, “Department of Unclear Goals” as a name for your business, like you made a company out of your own confusion. It actually fits. Every “meeting” you go to is half networking, half trying not to stare at tits while talking about numbers, and failing miserably. The game leans hard into that awkward charm feeling. One moment you’re talking brand identity, next you’re on your knees with Mia grinding on your face and joking about “team building exercises” while she’s riding your tongue. The humor hits because it’s not trying to be high art, it’s just horny idiots pretending they understand business.

Sex-wise, it’s not shy at all. Oral is everywhere, and they make it playful more than “serious porn face” all the time. Mia has this habit of using blowjobs as stress relief: she’ll be ranting about her old boss, then suddenly unzip you and start sucking, still talking shit while your cock is halfway down her throat. It’s both funny and hot because she’s so casual about it, like “yeah I’m mad, give me your dick, anyway as I was saying…” There’s a lot of teasing, like she makes you sit on the chair while she’s in just a shirt and panties, playing with herself and pretending it’s about “user research.” Titfucks show up at the right times too, especially when she wants to “reward” you. Her pushing her boobs together, slick with spit and a bit of precum, joking about “optimizing the pipeline” while your cock slides between them, that scene stuck with me way more than I expected. Animated scenes help a lot, the little movements, the way a girl’s hips twitch when she gets close from being eaten out or fingered, you feel it.

And then Jade and Noemi show up and the whole thing turns into a badly behaved LinkedIn orgy. Jade is exactly that dangerous office goth you know will ruin your life and you still say yes. She flirts like a threat. One second she’s doing snarky banter, then she has you pinned against a desk, hand in your pants, stroking slowly while she talks about contract terms. The first time she drops to her knees in that cramped office space and starts licking your shaft in long, lazy strokes, glancing up with that “I own you” look, it’s like the game is laughing at you. She’s good at the slow blowjob that suddenly turns sloppy, with spit and gagging and mascara that’s already smudged from the start, like she planned to make a mess. Noemi is the opposite energy, loud and dramatic, the type who will argue with you about coffee quality while jerking you off, then switch to grinding on another girl’s thigh because she’s bored. There’s some really tasty lesbian stuff where Mia and Noemi end up on the couch, half drunk from some “networking event,” making out while you just stand there in shock. Tongues, hands under shirts, Mia’s fingers gently circling Noemi’s clit while Noemi’s sucking on her nipples, and you’re just the extra until they pull you in for group sex and use you like a toy. They joke during sex, which I liked a lot: little lines like “this is what I call aggressive marketing” while they’re taking turns riding you. The masturbation scenes are surprisingly personal too, like catching Mia on the bed with her phone on the pillow, one hand buried between her legs, whispering your name. Tiny detail annoyed me, by the way: the sound of one specific chair squeak repeats in a bunch of scenes and now I hear it in my head whenever someone sits down in real life and it drives me nuts. But anyway, the game is horny, messy, funny, romantic in a clumsy way, and it keeps turning every “work meeting” into some mix of blowjob negotiations, groping against doors, and half-serious talk about your future together that happens right after she swallows your load and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand like it’s just part of the business model.

Guy comes back from college, thinks he’s just going to crash at the old place for a while, and instead walks into a full soap opera with tits. Dad bailed to the Caribbean with some side chick, the house is half fucked financially, and the ex who used to sleep in his bed is suddenly stuck there broke and pissed. That’s the starting mood: awkward, horny, and broke. The whole thing plays out like one of those long-running harem manga where the artist keeps adding girls every volume and somehow it still kind of makes sense. You already have all that Season 2 baggage on your save, so when you load into Season 3 it feels like walking back into a dorm where every girl remembers exactly how you made her cum last time… and sometimes throws it in your face in the middle of a “serious” conversation. One minute you’re talking about how to turn the house into a college dorm to pay rent, next minute the twin sisters are arguing about who sucked you off better last semester, while you pretend to care about furniture budgets. The POV style actually sells this, especially when the camera drops down during a titfuck and you hear her breathing change in your ears. The voiced lines are hit and miss: some girls sound like they recorded on a phone in a closet, others nail that lazy milf tone when she’s grinding on you and moaning about how she shouldn’t be doing this with a “young guy” while you’re buried in her big ass and she’s leaking milk on your chest during lactation scenes that come out of nowhere and somehow feel like a punchline and a fetish shot at same time.

Sex-wise, it’s one of those games where it starts kind of romantic and then quietly becomes filth. You have the “I missed you” reunion vaginal sex with the old flame, gentle at first, then she suddenly begs for a creampie, asking if you’ll “ruin” her for other guys, and you get that soft harem illusion: every girl low-key wants to be your main. Then the netori stuff sneaks in. You’re fucking a girl who is “totally not” still in a relationship, she’s riding you, laughing, teasing that her boyfriend only lasts a few minutes while she uses your cock like a toy. There’s one scene where she calls him on speaker while you slowly finger her under the table, and you decide if you make her moan into the phone or keep her on the edge. Later, you’re in a group sex situation where one girl is stuck on your mouth, another stroking you off with her feet, and some twin sucks on your balls and you honestly forget who started what. The interracial angle pops up in a way that feels almost too casual: you’re jerking off in your room, one of the darker-skinned girls walks in, laughs, takes over, and turns a simple handjob into a sloppy oral scene where she deepthroats you, gags, spits, and then demands you finish on her tits instead of her face because “makeup took too long,” which is such a tiny line but it feels real as hell. Pregnancy talk hits at weird times, like right after a big group creampie scene where everyone is joking and then one girl gets super quiet and asks if you meant it when you said you’d “take responsibility,” and you’re half naked, covered in fluids, trying to romance-talk your way out of it. The humor is very hit or miss, sometimes actually funny, sometimes like an uncle trying to be cool, but then you get an ending path where the “virgin” route girl finally opens her legs, you see her shaking, she’s clinging to you, and the whole animated sequence slows down, focusing on her eyes and breathing, and it reminds you this isn’t just porn, it’s also one long messy relationship chart that you’re drawing with your dick on a mobile screen while pretending you’re just checking Telegram.

Wife, husband, “family first” mask slowly cracking, that’s the whole heart of this thing. Starts all nice and ordinary, like one of those stock-photo marriages from a bank ad, and then you watch it rot from the inside in the most horny, fucked up way. She thinks she’s doing the “right thing,” right? One small wrong step to protect them, then another, then someone’s hand on her thigh that stays there a little too long, and suddenly her line in the sand is just... mud. The game doesn’t beg you to like her or hate her. It just shoves you inside her head and lets you feel how the guilt and the arousal keep mixing until you honestly can’t tell where one ends and the other starts. I liked how sometimes she’s clearly scared and still her body is pushing forward, almost like she’s gaslighting herself with her own wetness. It’s not pretty. That’s the point.

The voyeur stuff hits early and keeps echoing. Not in a “peek through keyhole, fap, done” way, but more like everyone is watching everyone. Phones left on record, half-open doors, a shower glass that might as well be a stage. You see her being watched, you watch her watch someone else, and the husband? Poor guy keeps acting like the one sane person in a late-stage Reddit thread, then the game quietly twists the knife on him. When the blackmail really digs in, her whole world becomes this weird mix of dread and rush. One scene, she’s on her knees doing oral just to “solve a problem,” and the guy starts filming her from above, and you feel that sharp little click in her brain where fear suddenly tastes a bit like excitement. I was alt-tabbing to Telegram during one of those scenes and realized I was actually annoyed to look away, which almost never happens with kinetic stuff. Speaking of that, no choices at all. No “good husband route,” no “no NTR” flag. You’re strapped to the ride. It’s both hot and kind of cruel.

Sex-wise, it doesn’t hold back. Vaginal, anal, messy creampies, hands under tables, corner-of-the-room handjobs during group scenes where people pretend not to notice, but you know they absolutely do. The lesbian bit surprised me more for how tender it tried to be and still felt corrupted by context, like it could have been wholesome in another universe but here it’s built on lies, jealousy and someone else’s cock hanging over the whole moment like a shadow. Some encounters feel like cheating with a bit of flirting on top, others land right into *** territory, and the kinetic style refuses to give you that fake “I didn’t choose this so it doesn’t count” comfort. I liked the 3D look except for one thing: the husband’s face in one early animated loop kept pulling my eye, his expression felt a bit dead when he should have been breaking apart, and I got irrationally stuck on that. There is a group scene later that nails the emotional horror though, where she’s surrounded, getting filled, and her mind is clearly somewhere between drowning and worshipping the sensation. Corruption here isn’t just sex acts leveling up, it’s watching a long-term couple that should be boring and stable get slowly eaten by a triangle that none of them are strong enough to control.

The whole thing starts like you just faceplanted out of a hentai fever dream. One second you’re knocked out, next second you’re in this cheap-looking room that somehow feels too clean, pants tented, head foggy, with a catgirl staring at you like you’re her new chew toy. Not a soft, shy catgirl either. She’s got that “I’ve watched way too much porn and I’m bored of you already” face, tail flicking, ears twitching every time you swallow. The way she climbs on the bed, knees on each side of your hips, is lazy and confident, like she’s already decided your dick is public property. And behind her there’s this little robot thing, just floating around, recording everything, beeping when your heart rate spikes, changing the lights when her hand starts stroking you through your shorts. It feels like someone took a regular horny isekai setup, threw it in a blender with a camgirl studio and a cheap sci-fi horror VN, then forgot to smooth it out. Which is perfect. The rough edges make the sex scenes feel more dirty, less polished, like you’re watching leaked tapes from a lab that definitely doesn’t have ethics approval.

The sound is where I got stuck way too long. That little wet click whenever she pushes her tongue deeper during a blowjob, the sloppy gulp when she forces herself to swallow even though she’s clearly overfilled, the sharp smack echo when your hand lands on her ass. You can tell they layered those moans on top of each other, so when she rides you, you get this messy chorus of gasps and choked whimpers and that stupid porn ahegao squeal. In my headphones it felt almost wrong, like the audio was too close, like she was breathing in my ear while you hold her hips and watch her tits bounce, milk starting to leak as she grinds faster. The robot actually reacts to it, by the way. When she starts squirting all over you during a rough titfuck that turns into a full-on creampie, its little screen shows heart icons and weird graphs, like it’s measuring your “performance.” It should be cringe, but somehow it just made the whole thing kinkier, like the game is grading how hard you ruin her. The soundtrack underneath is this low, pulsing synth line with random dissonant notes, almost like some underground vaporwave track that never got released. It doesn’t try to be epic. It just hums under the skin of the scene, especially when you edge her and pull out right when she’s about to collapse, leaving her shaking, lips open, begging you to put it back in. That mix of clinical beeps, slick skin noises and thirsty moans sticks in your brain longer than any pretty rendered elf.

Then the childhood friend shows up and everything goes sideways in a good way and also not. She’s got short hair, dark skin with those sharp tanlines that scream “I spent all summer outdoors beating people up,” and she acts like your personal wrestling heel. One minute she’s pinning you to the floor, laughing, legs clamped tight around your waist, the next she’s grinding on you just a little too long, face way too close, cheeks flushing when she realizes you’re hard under her. You get that typical “we used to be innocent” vibe for about two seconds before the game throws her into a humiliation scene where the catgirl makes her watch you fuck, teasing her for being a late virgin, telling her monsters would have broken her hymen already if you weren’t so slow. The way the music drops out there and you just hear her shaky breathing, then the slap of skin when she finally gives in and starts touching herself, is way hotter than it has any right to be. Sometimes it leans too hard into the slavery and domination deal, like you’re playing some half-finished BDSM sandbox, juggling a future harem of monster girls, elves in cosplay, and this poor wrestling girl who has no idea she’s already lost. But then there’ll be this tiny moment, like the robot zooming in on a single tear sliding down her cheek while you’re fucking her from behind for the first time, or that first messy pregnant sex scene where her belly bumps against your stomach and her tits are dripping milk on your chest, and the audio goes almost silent except for your breathing mixing together. It feels uncomfortably intimate, like you shouldn’t be allowed to hear it. Then the game throws you back into voyeur mode, watching them lick each other, domme-on-lez action on a lab table, catgirl sitting on her face, your cum leaking out of her still-stretched pussy, and that slow, dirty bass kicks back in, looping like a porn track you forgot to pause. Yeah. It’s messy. It’s wrong. And I still keep a private folder of those scene recordings on my phone like a degenerate.

Luna’s whole life basically blows up the moment she moves to this “tolerant” city with her hot stepmom, and the game doesn’t even pretend it’s about anything pure. You’re stuck in her shoes, this bratty 18-year-old with a big ass, big tits, big attitude, suddenly dropped in a place where futa are normal enough to have political parties screaming over their rights on every TV and classroom debate. Half the time you’re watching her roll her eyes at the news, the other half you’re watching her get railed or doing the railing. She’s not a mute puppet; she has her own horny little brain, and the game loves forcing you to ride along when she decides, sure, why not, let’s grind on the futa class rep under the bleachers right after a speech about discrimination. One moment she’s pretending to care about policy in a school debate club, the next she’s choking on her first futa cock in the bathroom while trying to muffle her ahegao face so nobody outside hears her whimpering. And of course someone always hears. That first scene where the teacher “catches” her and decides to handle things quietly with a handjob under the desk while the rest of the class is watching a boring civic video? Yeah, that told me exactly what kind of ride this was going to be.

The story is this weird mix of political drama and straight-up porn brain. You have Democrats and Republicans flipped on their head, doing speeches about futanari rights on stage, and then five minutes later the same polished futa politician is pounding some nervous intern over a table during a “private consultation”, pushing in anal first like it is absolutely normal office procedure. Group scenes sneak up on you too. You go to what sounds like a regular party, blink twice, suddenly Luna’s on a couch between three futa with big cocks, one in her mouth, one in her ass, one slapping her big boobs around while she’s drooling all over herself with that stupid cute ahegao expression. There’s a school locker room thing where she’s “comforting” a shy girl who got bullied for liking futa, and of course that very gentle lesbian moment turns into her licking her out on a bench, only for a futa teammate to walk in and join, then another, until it’s a full-on group sex mess with cum on the tiles and Luna getting double stuffed. Even when the plot is talking about prejudice and law changes, half the tension is just which milf senator is going to bend over first and ask Luna to show loyalty with her tongue. It’s messy, horny, not subtle at all, and the game leans hard into futa focus anal stuff, to the point where by the time Luna casually takes a huge futa cock in her ass in the back of a campaign van while reading poll numbers on a phone, you just kind of shrug and think, yeah, that tracks for this city.

Mid-20th century Europe, guy fresh out of uni, totally lost, and suddenly he is in some fake-Italy place flirting with revolution and fox tits. That is basically the vibe. You start as Ryunosuke, this Japanese dude who has no clue what he wants in life, except he knows he wants something different and, very quickly, something thick. Stivale looks nice at first, old stone streets, political posters peeling off walls, people angry about some chancellor’s bullshit, and then boom, fox-eared warrior girl with a sword in your face and a rack so big your brain just gives up. Serena shows up like “Who are you and why are you in my country,” and five minutes later she is pinning you to a wall, collar half open, tail swishing, threatening to gut you while low-key eye-fucking you. The game just goes straight into this mix of serious war scars and horny teasing, and it works way better than it should.

The whole adventure thing creeps in slowly, between the porn. One scene you are dodging soldiers in turn-based fights, the next you’re hiding in a ruined barn where she makes you jerk off because “we need to relax before the next battle.” She watches, ears twitching, licking her lips when you go faster, calling you “good boy” in this soft Japanese voice that feels way too intimate, then suddenly she slaps your hand away and uses her tits instead, trapping your cock between them, spitting a little, whispering how she wants to be filled while the artillery rumbles outside. It is horny, but also oddly sad, like everyone here is a bit broken and just using sex as a breather between traumas. Then again, one hour later she is riding you in some half-collapsed chapel with stained glass over your naked asses, so the game is not pretending to be deep or anything. There is a bunch of different monster girls that join your crew, each with their own way of being absolute degenerates. A big-ass cow girl who starts leaking milk when she gets too turned on and begs you to suck it out so she can “focus on the mission.” A prim-looking mage who seems all romance and soft kisses, until she locks you in magical chains and tests how many times you can cum by just using her mouth and a single finger playing with your ass. Sometimes the group sex scenes come right after heavy story beats, like someone gets betrayed, and five minutes later you are in a smoky hideout getting your dick sucked while another girl grinds on your face, and somehow it fits the tone. War is hell, but also, apparently, one long orgy.

What actually surprised me is how much control you weirdly have over the relationships, considering how horny the whole thing is. You can lean more into the romance with Serena, where she is shy the first time you go vaginal and clings like a virgin who pretends she is fine but clearly is not, then next route she is cheating on you in a dirty alley with a monster ally while staring at you, making you watch as the other guy fills her and she squeezes his cum out with her fingers and smears it on your lips. There are quiet campfire nights where she lets you rest your head on her lap and you just grope her tits slowly while she hums, and there are drunk scenes where she orders you to lick her thighs clean after she pees herself laughing too hard, which is… yeah, that is a whole menu of kinks right there. The combat bits between all this are like snack breaks: simple turn-based fights, a bit of strategy, some leveling, and mostly an excuse to unlock scenes where losing means getting used by enemy monsters, or winning lets you fuck them into your army. Different endings depend on who you creampie, who you knock up, who you treat like a lover or just a toy. Some paths end with a kind of bittersweet “we saved the country but ruined ourselves” mood, others are basically “everyone pregnant, everything on fire, but hey, we are happy.” The voice work is honestly what sells the filth: Serena moaning in Japanese while calling your name, little gasps when you go anal for the first time, the shaky breath right before she begs you to cum inside. It sounds messy, human, sometimes awkward, and that makes it way hotter than some clean, robotic porn loop. The only thing that pissed me off is that one lingerie outfit she has in a late scene looks ugly as hell and you are forced to stare at it during a really good titfuck. I still think about that. Anyway, the game just keeps mixing politics, monsters, and sex in this weird cocktail that should not work but somehow does.
