Power in this game smells like cheap perfume and fear. You’re Lana, a “good girl” who somehow picked the worst possible college in the country, where professors smile for the brochure and then use their office keys for everything except teaching. On the surface it’s all clubs, exams, stupid cafeteria food, but the real routine is who’s getting touched, filmed, blackmailed or bought next. The game doesn’t pretend you’re a hero. You’re just the new toy drifting between a former cop who runs the dirty side of campus, a smug student who knows way too much, and a few teachers who really should not be allowed near students without bodycams. One minute you’re worrying about grades, next you’re kneeling under a desk while class goes on, trying not to moan when his fingers slip between your thighs and your classmates are right there. It feels messed up, nasty, and weirdly hot in that “I didn’t mean to enjoy this” way.

What I really liked is how your corruption doesn’t happen with some magic switch. It’s slow and sticky. First it’s harmless teasing, a flirty text, a “private tutoring” session where the teacher sits too close and his hand stays on your leg too long. Then you’re doing a handjob in the back of a police car so a certain ex-detective forgets what he saw on the security cams. You tell yourself it’s only this once, but suddenly you’re in a bathroom stall being used by two guys at the same time, one in your mouth and one pounding your pussy from behind, your phone sitting on the toilet tank recording everything because someone told you to. You try to cover your face with your hair while they fuck you, but then the game makes you watch that same video later, leaked to some secret campus chat, comments scrolling underneath about your big ass and how they want to fill you up too. There’s a really nasty little scene where Lana gets forced to strip in a half-empty lecture hall “as a punishment”, pulled over the teacher’s desk while he spanks her till her skin turns red, students pretending to take notes while sneaking pics. And then later, that same teacher makes her sit on his lap, dick pressed against her ass while he lectures about ethics, her panties wet and useless, trying not to grind on him with every word.

It’s not all men using her either. There’s this one girl, the “perfect student” who’s actually running her own game. She pulls Lana into the locker room, locks the door, and starts fingering her against the cold tiles, whispering in her ear about all the things she’s going to make her do for “protection”. She makes Lana lick her out on a bench where any other student could walk in, then casually wipes Lana’s face and sends her out like nothing happened. Later the same girl is the one holding the camera while Lana is on her knees, getting throat-fucked by some rich asshole, tears and mascara everywhere, his balls slapping her chin while he uses her as if she’s a hired slut. There’s pee play too, but it’s not some classy fetish shoot. It’s ugly and degrading: forced to kneel in a disgusting campus bathroom while a guy unzips and tells her to “be a good girl and drink”. You see her hesitate, then open her mouth anyway, cheeks burning. The game leans hard into voyeurism. Hidden cams in showers, windows where you can watch classmates getting groped, dark corners where slaves are collared and used as furniture at secret parties, bodies covered in cum, girls tied up and spanked until they cry. Sometimes Lana’s the victim, sometimes she’s already too far gone and starts touching herself while watching someone else get humiliated, rubbing her clit with a toy she “borrowed” from the BDSM club. If you want every dirty scene to hit harder, don’t rush. Let her resist a bit first, pick the options where she hesitates, then slowly drag her into worse stuff and watch how a shy student turns into the campus whore who moans when she gets creampied in the principal’s office with the door half-open. Take your time ruining her.

Harmony Haven starts really soft and sweet, like some cozy romance VN, then suddenly you realize you’ve spent the last hour micromanaging when your “faithful” wife is allowed to suck another guy’s cock. It looks pretty harmless in the beginning. New town, cute couple, everything bright and normal, some flirty neighbors. Then the game starts poking you with all these tiny choices. Do you let her wear this way-too-tight dress to dinner. Do you pretend not to see the neighbor’s eyes locked on her tits. Do you peek through the window when she’s in the shower, touching herself a little too hard while thinking about “something that happened earlier.” It escalates slowly and that’s where it gets good, because it feels less like porn spam and more like you really pushed them there yourself.

What I liked is how the game lets you be a jealous possessive bastard or a curious pervert who keeps opening the door a bit more, just to see what happens. One run I tried to keep the relationship totally clean, like, “no cheating, no sharing, just us two.” You can do that, and it’s honestly kind of cute, with a lot of teasing, groping in the kitchen, her riding you with that close-up POV of her huge tits bouncing while she bites her lip. The romance scenes still feel hot, especially when she goes from shy to needy, asking for creampies and begging you not to pull out. But then I restart, change one answer at the barbecue, and suddenly we’re talking about “just flirting, nothing serious” with the neighbor’s wife, who has an ass that feels like it was designed by a horny chiropractor. And then there’s that party where the game subtly asks if you want to watch your girl dance a bit more dirty, with some guy’s hands way too low on her hips. I thought, alright, just a little exhibitionism, and it turned into a full-on stripping scene where she’s grinding on his thigh and looking straight at you like “this is your fault.” I still liked it.

The corruption angle hits harder because you see their limits moving. At first she’s embarrassed if you slap her ass in public, later she’s letting you spank her over the balcony with neighbors maybe watching, and she’s clearly wet from it. Oral scenes are everywhere, and they’re not lazy about it: you get her kneeling between your legs, drool running down her chin, mascara a bit messy while she looks up, one hand pumping you, the other secretly rubbing her clit. There’s a shower scene where you can either fuck her “nice and romantic” or push her against the wall and go straight for anal while the water runs over her back. I went rough, obviously, and she starts protesting for like two lines before switching into deep moans and begging you to go deeper. Sometimes the male domination feels a bit all over the place, like one scene he’s super controlling with ropes, collar, spanking and all, next scene he’s suddenly this soft boy again, and it’s a bit jarring, but the BDSM parts when they hit, they hit. Watching her on all fours, her big ass up, red from your hand, and that quick little animation of your cock sliding in again while she squirms, that’s the stuff I replayed.

What surprised me is how far the game lets you push the whole swinging and NTR side without forcing it if you don’t want. You can keep things “only us” or you can slowly open the door to interracial stuff, swapping partners, voyeur scenes where you’re hiding in a closet watching her get fingered by another guy while she’s whispering your name but still taking it. There’s this one hotel scene where you decide if you just watch from the door crack or walk in and join, and both paths feel nasty in a good way. The multiple protagonist idea is fun too, since it lets you see things from both sides: her point of view when she’s getting tempted, masturbating in bed because she’s thinking of the coach’s hands on her thighs, or his point of view when he’s debating if he should share her or keep her all to himself. Sometimes I wish the point & click parts were less picky about hotspots, I kept misclicking on stupid little objects that did nothing and it annoyed me more than it should, but then I’d stumble into a cosplay scene where she’s in this tight outfit with stockings and heels, offering you a footjob while you sit on the couch, and I kinda forgot I was mad. The harem-ish side of it sneaks in too: one run I ended up juggling the wife, a thick coworker with huge tits who loves being groped in the elevator, and a so-called “friend” who pretends to be innocent, then suddenly is naked in your bed asking if you’re going to fill her up as well. None of it feels very realistic, but honestly, when she’s riding you reverse cowgirl, big ass slapping against your lap, moaning loud enough the neighbors definitely hear, realism is not what my brain cares about.

Princess Auriane gets crowned, and the whole kingdom immediately feels like a slow-motion car crash in horny mode. She’s supposed to bring order to this split elven realm, but the court looks at her like fresh meat, and she looks back like she’s not sure if she wants to execute them or ride them. The game leans hard into that tug-of-war: one moment you’re arranging trade routes and appointing ministers, the next you’re deciding if you’re going to kneel in front of a smug noble or make him kneel until his jaw hurts. It’s less “pure fantasy epic” and more “what happens if state policy and bedroom politics get drunk together and wake up naked on the council table.” Every choice you poke at shifts her vibe: strict, cold ruler in silk and steel, or slowly corrupted princess who starts scheduling “private audiences” more often than council meetings. Both paths are sexy and both feel kind of wrong in a very nice way.

What I liked most, weirdly, is how the management stuff and the corruption are glued together. You’re not just clicking through scenes waiting for the next blowjob animation. You’re setting tax levels on some region, then the advisor who argued against you shows up later, all fire and outrage, and suddenly you have the option to shut him up with your tongue or show him his place with your boot on his throat. Sometimes both. There’s this great moment where Auriane is supposed to negotiate a peace treaty, and the other ruler is this razor-smooth dominatrix type who talks like she owns the room. If you push back, you can collar her politically and sexually. If you give in, Auriane ends up on her knees under the table while the “negotiation” continues above. It’s hot, it’s kind of humiliating, and the game doesn’t pretend it’s not. The 3dcg animations sell it pretty well too, especially when the camera lingers just a little too long on her expression while someone’s hand is in her hair and she’s deciding if she hates this or needs more. Facial reactions actually change depending on how far down the corruption path you went, which is such a tiny detail and I got way too obsessed with it.

The male dom and femdom back-and-forth feels a bit like flipping playlists on Spotify. One playthrough it’s all rough voices, hands around her throat, Auriane choked on a royal cock during a “sworn loyalty” ritual. Next run, it’s her turning into the villain of her own story, ordering a captured rebel to lick her boots clean before she lets him taste anything else. And yeah, sometimes the pacing goes totally sideways. You’ll get three political scenes in a row and no sex, then suddenly it hits you with an oral scene in the council chamber where she’s trying to read a report while being used as furniture. It annoyed me and turned me on at the same time. Some side characters pop in, look insanely hot, tease some wild kink, and then the story just moves on without paying it off, like the game forgot they exist. One advisor in particular has “secret submissive disaster” written all over him, but he keeps getting shuffled into exposition instead of being shoved under Auriane’s desk. Still, when the stars line up and the corruption meter, the kingdom’s stability, and Auriane’s mood all collide, you get these filthy little story beats where management, fantasy politics, and porn crash together, and suddenly you’re watching your elf princess use oral sex as an actual tool of statecraft, which is honestly what half of fantasy novels are missing anyway.

This one hits that strange spot between horny and kind of cozy. It all runs in text, but not in the lazy “wall of words and that’s it” way. You start by shaping your character and right from there the game already asks what you’re actually into. Male, female, furry, human mix, you poke at sliders, give them some past, pick if you want to be the kind that swings a sword or the type that just teases enemies until everybody’s pants and morals fall off. There’s a weird calm in watching your stats and kinks line up while you know very well this peaceful menu is just the opening act before some slime-covered tentacle thing tries to stuff your ass after three turns of “combat”. It’s not subtle about being about sex, but it’s also not just “click to fuck”. You walk around, chat in towns, pick quests, screw up conversations, get a reputation. That part is kinda funny. Say one rude thing to a guard and suddenly half the tavern treats you like trash. Then again, maybe you want that. The game remembers what you do, who you submit to, who you dominate. Later, when a monster girl you beat up before shows up with backup and a grudge, it feels like the world actually watched you being a dick.

Combat is turn based with that teasing option tempting you every round like a bright red button that just says “ruin yourself”. That’s where the game really finds this horny rhythm. You can fight normal, go for proper skills, potions, the usual rpg stuff. Or you start teasing, stripping, letting your lust climb until you barely see the health bar because you’re too busy reading how your cock or pussy throbs while a werewolf grips your hips and decides you’re done pretending to be a hero. Sometimes you end up surrounded, group sex all tangled with damage numbers and status effects. Get drunk before a fight, you’ll feel it. Forget to sleep, your body reacts. I really liked that small thing, the way hangover or exhaustion shows in the text. Also hated it, because I kept fucking up my day cycle and walking into some cave half dead and half horny, then getting spanked senseless by a smug lizardman who clearly enjoyed my poor planning more than he should. The game leans heavy into male content, a lot of M/M and gay stuff, but it doesn’t lock you out of other fun. You want blowjob scenes, anal, rough male domination, monsters filling you and leaving warm creampies dripping while the text smugly lists every place they left their “gift”, it’s all there. Sometimes it lingers on a detail way too long, like the exact feel of a tentacle sliding between your cheeks, and I caught myself thinking “ok, I got it, it’s slimy” but still kept reading, so who’s the clown here. Town gossip actually matters a bit more than you expect, too. Talk too freely about how you let a bunch of bandits pass you around and you’ll notice certain NPCs changing tone, some kinder, some more cruel. That’s the charm and the annoyance. It remembers. Fail forward into more sex, succeed into different sex. Classic.

The day and night thing is sneaky. First you ignore it, just spam through events, then suddenly one NPC hints “come back later” and later turns out to be when that alley is full of shady types who don’t even pretend they want your coin. Got a scene where I wandered in at night expecting a normal fight, and ended up pushed against a wall in group play where I couldn’t even keep track which tail or cock was where. It was filthy in a very direct way, no fancy metaphors, just “this goes in here, you moan like this, here’s a spanking for disobeying” and then a creampie ending that described the mess almost too clearly. Sometimes the writing stumbles, a weird phrase here and there, but that actually fits the vibe for me, like some horny storyteller getting carried away and forgetting perfect grammar because they’re too focused on your character getting throat-fucked by a monster with too many hands. Crafting and equipment are there too, not super deep but nice enough that you actually care what armor you wear before meeting that smug plant monster who wants to tie you up and jerk you off with vines. Maybe I’m biased because I like these text-heavy sex worlds where you feel every bad decision echo for a while. Maybe I just like when a game lets me go from a self-righteous hero to a shameless cumdump for beasts without ever telling me I’m wrong. In any case, it’s the kind of thing where you open it on your laptop “just to check one quest” and later find yourself staring at the log of how many times you got your ass used by tentacles, wondering when exactly your noble adventure turned into a traveling orgy that runs on lust and bad ideas.

You start out as this big guy who just lost his job as a bouncer and suddenly your whole life is fucked because your dad owed money to the local kingpin. It feels like one of those crime dramas, except here the “debt” gets paid with your body and the bodies around you. Instead of getting killed, you get offered a new gig: personal bodyguard for his daughter, Angel. From the first scene with her, it’s obvious this isn’t just some shy girl you protect and forget. She is hot in a way that feels expensive and dangerous at the same time. Tight clothes that clearly know what they’re doing, a mouth that switches between bratty, flirty and weirdly soft when you least expect it. The mood is always sitting right between “I should not fuck this girl” and “I’m absolutely going to fuck this girl”. And the game lets you lean into that however you like: you can play the calm, in-control type who still ends up balls-deep in her, or just give in to darker stuff, jealousy, control, watching other guys touch what you think is yours. It does not shy away from the idea that you are not a good person, even when you try to act like one.

What really hooked me was how your attitude shifts the sexual tension. Be nice to her, act like a proper protector, you get this slow-burn romance vibe where every kiss feels earned and the first time you slide into her, it has this “finally” feeling, like all that teasing and all the bodyguard-close contact finally explodes into real fucking. Play as an asshole and it turns into something more rough and dirty. You still protect her from bullets and creeps, but in private you pull her hair, choke her a bit while she moans your name, talk shit in her ear while her pussy is dripping for you. Then there is the real fucked up path, where you stop being the “only man” in her life and start watching other guys get their hands on her. Club owners, gang goons, people you should be punching, not letting them push her over a bar table and pound her while she looks at you with those eyes that ask “are you really letting this happen?” There is something sick and hot at the same time when you stand there, hard as a rock, hearing her scream your name and some other dude’s name mixed together while he fills her up. The game can go deep on that humiliation feeling. You’re the big strong bodyguard and still you watch as she gets used, stretched, covered in cum that is not yours. You can pretend you hate it, but your dick in the scene tells another story. And if you try to be a complete coward, not protect anyone, everything slowly goes to shit. Angel and the other girls slip out of your hands, one by one, and end up getting taken by men who don’t care about them at all, just using them like toys while you know you lost every right to touch them again. Sex scenes keep this mix of tenderness and filth that is really rare. One moment you are gently sliding into her wet pussy, kissing her while she wraps her legs around you like she never wants to let go. The next route you replay that scene and instead of you, some thug is the one inside her while she whimpers your name and you do nothing. It’s cruel, yeah, but also honest about how fucked up desire can be. The visual side sells it hard: you see bodies actually grind, lips press, cum shot pooling on skin, her face changing from confident princess to messy, corrupted little slut who still clings to your hand while another cock is buried in her. It’s not elegant, not “tasteful”, just raw and kind of perfect in its own dirty way.

There’s something messy about this one, in a good way. You start thinking it’ll be another lazy sex-sim with stiff dialogue, but it’s weirdly personal. The main guy - this supposed “porn screenwriter” - talks like someone who’s too tired to be horny, but then you catch him staring at his co-star’s ass for so long that the camera sort of blushes for him. It’s all animated in that chunky 3D style that tries to look cinematic and fails spectacularly, which somehow makes it hotter. There’s a tension that isn’t just about getting off; half the time I was laughing at my own reflection, because who takes story beats seriously when there’s a creampie scene waiting two clicks away?

Anyway, the wife - yeah, she’s the quiet volcano type. Every time she’s on screen you can feel something coiled behind her polite smile. The cheating part doesn’t even sting; it just simmers. One moment you’re doing anal with a moaning actress on a fake hotel set, next you’re drying dishes with that wife character, pretending you don’t smell the same perfume. The game doesn’t push guilt exactly, more like a fuzzy hangover feeling that sits heavy behind your eyes. I tried being faithful once; the dialogue tree punished me by making everything boring. So I went full bastard. Still not sure if that was the “good” ending or just one of those multiple ones where no one really wins.

Oh, and whoever coded the teasing scenes has issues - in the best way. The camera lingers, the sound design borders on gross (mouth sounds like real life, that wet-click thing), and the moans occasionally clip through the background music. I complained out loud once, but didn’t stop playing. There’s exhibitionism too, though it’s not called that; the sense that someone’s always watching, including me, feels more real than most games bother with. I kept expecting some moral wrap-up, but it ends mid-thrust, like a thought you forget to finish. And maybe that’s the point.

Zach is not the kind of guy you’d trust with a TV remote, and somehow he gets his hands on a mind control helmet that could turn a saint into a porn category. He’s been jerking off to Mistress Red’s videos on loop, memorizing every little smirk she does when she makes some poor guy call himself “good little toy” on camera, and suddenly she’s not on the screen anymore. She’s tied up in front of him, real skin, real attitude, real “you’re fucked, kid” glare. The game throws you into that awkward “oh shit this is actually happening” moment and says, “Alright genius, now what?” Use the helmet, don’t use it, poke at her pride, pull her hair, or sit there like a confused Reddit thread. Your choices actually twist Zach around too, not only her. One route he’s this pathetic horny loser trying to pretend he has a spine, in another he starts acting like he was born to be some discount supervillain with a captive queen at his feet. Both feel wrong in kind of the hot way.

When you slap the helmet on her, the mood shifts fast. Her eyes go glassy, then sharp again, then a bit too soft, and you’re playing with that line where you’re not sure if she’s faking to get an opening to bite your dick off. You can push her into calling you Master, drilling in obedience, putting her in these strict bondage poses where she looks both pissed and turned on, while a vibrator hums between her legs and she tries not to break. Or maybe you flip it, loosen the commands, let her keep that dominant tongue, and suddenly you’re kneeling while she uses your own toy on you, whispering suggestions that make it real hard to remember who is supposed to be in charge. The scenes mix anal, toys, restraint and that “is this brainwashing or is this just who I am” question, and sometimes it hits deeper than you expect for a porn game you opened with one hand. The 3D models look good enough that when she spits an insult at you, it actually stings a bit, which annoys me more than it should. Also, there’s this tiny UI button slightly off-center that drives me insane and the dev never fixes it. Anyway, it plays like a long-term relationship with your own worst impulses: one minute you’re promising redemption, the next you’re tightening the cuffs and cranking the hypnosis to max, telling yourself you’ll be a better person in the next playthrough. You won’t.

Max is that dude who somehow finished high school with okay grades, but never managed to get laid. Pornhub on one monitor, homework on the other, zero action in real life. Now he hits college and suddenly every woman around him is a walking problem for his dick and his sanity. You’re not just chasing one girl. You’re juggling a whole messy web of moms, daughters, sporty girls in tight shorts, teachers who really shouldn’t flirt like that, and that one “nice” neighbor who clearly owns more sex toys than kitchen tools. It’s that feeling when you open Spotify to pick one chill playlist and end up with five tabs, three remixes and a DJ set… except here every “track” is a horny woman with her own drama and body type. You’re basically curating your own harem like it’s a private playlist, switching between soft romantic tracks and hard club bangers, sometimes in the same scene.

The fun part is how slow it pretends to be at first. It teases a lot. You’re just “studying” with the big titty girl from school, “helping” your best friend’s mom stretch after her workout, doing harmless groping on the bus because she “didn’t notice.” Yeah right. Conversations slide from normal to horny so naturally that at some point you realize you’ve got a milf on her knees, doing sloppy oral in the kitchen while her daughter is one room away. Or already in your phone, sending you pics in her sport bra, while her mom is naked in your bed. And the game really likes this voyeur vibe. Doors not fully closed, showers with foggy glass, windows at night where you can spy and decide if you’re going to just watch and jerk off or walk in and take control. Sometimes it lets you be sweet, kiss slowly, touch carefully. Other times it practically begs you to be a bit of a bastard, shove her against the wall, grab that big ass with both hands, tell her she belongs to you while she calls you “kid” with her mouth full.

It also plays dirty with choices. One route feels like cute romance, holding hands on a school trip, slow teasing, blowjob in a quiet corner. Another route with the same girl is full-on corruption, sharing her with her own mother, or stealing her from some jock who thinks he owns her. And if you like NTR spice, there are moments where the game lets you sit back and watch “your” girl fool around with someone else, just to see if you break, or if you start to enjoy it. Sometimes your choices lead to a harem-style happy mess where everyone kind of knows something and pretends they don’t. Other times, you get slapped, blocked on every app, and left with your dick in your hand because you tried to fuck mom and daughter on the same day without planning. The sport angle is funny too, because those sporty girls look all innocent in their school setting, then you catch them using toys in the locker room, or stretching in ways that make you absolutely not think about health. Game keeps throwing you from romantic dates to dirty bathroom sex, from gentle kissing to rough domination, and it doesn’t really care if your moral compass survives. Honestly, the only thing that bothered me is that tiny chat sound effect they keep using when a character texts you, it’s the same little pop every time and it started to piss me off for no reason, but I still kept answering because every new message is another chance to fuck up someone’s life or pants.

You wake up naked on this cold, clinical ship, and the first thought that hits you is not some grand sci fi reflection about existence, it is just: “why is my ass on metal and why does it feel like I already did something wrong.” The game really leans into that mood. No memories, no past, no safety net. You are basically a walking bundle of holes and questions. And the ship, and later the crew, treat you exactly like that: something useful, desirable, breakable, and also somehow important. It has this strange mix where your body is public property half of the time, but your identity is a philosophical puzzle the rest of the time. Feels kind of like writing a thesis in your underwear while everyone is trying to finger you and also recruit you into a cult.

Since it is text based, the sex scenes live or die by the writing, and here the writing is dirty in a very... intentional way. There is a lot of teasing before actual fucking, and the game is very happy to keep you on that edge where you are being sexually harassed in corridors, pressed against bulkheads, groped during “medical exams,” and you keep telling yourself it is all to find out who you are. I liked when my female MC, with a dick and tits and a body I carefully min-maxed in character creation, gets pinned by this older officer type during what is supposed to be a serious mission briefing. He keeps talking about “protocol” while his hand is just stroking you under the table, casual as checking a datapad, and the text goes into stupid detail about how you try to keep a neutral face while your cock leaks on his glove and he pretends nothing is happening. That whole scene is more honest about power than half the ethics books on my shelf. You agree, you “consent,” but the whole situation is arranged so that saying no would feel like self sabotage. It is not preaching it, it just lets you feel the trap in your own body.

The kink toggles are the real philosophy lab here. You literally curate your own degradation. Turn on humiliation and suddenly your crewmates stop treating you like a colleague and more like a ship toy that accidentally learned to talk. Enable heavy bdsm and the same corridor where you walked earlier becomes a place where a dommy alien security officer can cuff you to a rail and use toys on you until you are crying and begging, then send you to your next quest with cum sliding down your thighs and this awkward “are we not going to talk about this” silence in the text. If you like gay stuff, or futa, or corruption arcs where a shy virgin protagonist slowly turns into a slut who needs cock or a strap in every port, the game is very willing to corrupt you, and it is so casual about it that it almost feels more violent. Drugs show up too, of course, because what is a space conspiracy without someone making you swallow something and then using your high, pliable body for “experiments.” Anal, oral, multiple penetration, group scenes where hands and mouths blur together until you are not sure which race is fucking which part of you. And yeah, sometimes the pacing is weird, like you are deep in a serious plot about conspiracies and identity and suddenly you are on your knees blowing a dilf captain while two crew members play with your nipples, and the game just moves on after like that is normal office behavior. It kind of is, here. I wish the interface on mobile did not make my thumb cover dialog choices at the worst times, but whatever, I keep doing it. The mix of dark atmosphere, trashy humor, existential dread, and the simple joy of getting railed by weird men of different colors and species in every other room of your own ship somehow works. Or maybe it does not “work” in any clean sense, it just keeps dragging you through its mess, and you stay, wet and annoyed and curious, because you want to see what else this body can be turned into.
