I should probably rename this my personal "Worst Vacation Ever Simulator" award. The fishing village looks like it was drawn by someone who gave up halfway through and the translation sometimes reads like it went through Google Translate three times then got chewed on by a sea monster. But I kept playing. Not despite the jank, almost because of it? The water doesn't move right and the villagers repeat the same two lines and honestly that wrongness adds something. Makes you feel like the tourist character, disoriented and not sure what's real.

The mermaid herself. God. She's barely in the first hour and yet there's this one scene where you're just staring at the water and her tail breaks the surface and the sound design, just this wet quiet splash, had me holding my breath. The adult content isn't just thrown in, it's woven into this slow corruption of your character's mind. You start out wanting to fish and get a tan and then suddenly you're lying to the old woman at the bait shop because she warned you about the "thing in the cove" and you need more chum. Not for fish. The psychological tag earns its place here. Your journal entries start normal and then... yeah. I won't spoil it but the shift from "vacation diary" to "obsessive manifesto" is uncomfortably good.

The horror elements creep rather than jump. Found a drowned sailor's charm on the beach and when I showed it to the tavern keeper he just stared at me and walked away. No dialogue prompt, nothing. That's either a bug or the most effective storytelling choice in the game and I still don't know which. The explicit scenes with the mermaid are genuinely affecting, all saltwater and desperation and the feeling you're being consumed in ways that have nothing to do with pleasure. There's a dream sequence involving her dragging you down to some kind of underwater... nest? lair? and the things you do there made me need a shower afterwards. Not in a bad way.

The mythology stuff gets tangled. Is she siren, nereid, something older? The game never answers and the village has like four different versions of the truth. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out if the lighthouse keeper was her father or her first victim and the dialogue tree just looped. Still not sure if that's intentional. The mystery is maybe too obtuse for its own good but I haven't stopped thinking about it for three days so maybe it worked. Just wish the inventory system wasn't such ass. Why does a fishing rod take up the same space as a mystical conch shell? Never resolved that. Anyway the mermaid's voice is described with this broken poetry that's either beautifully translated or accidentally profound and I'll never know which. The way she says "come deeper" not "come closer"... that's going to live in my head rent free.

A pharmacy counter at midnight and the girl behind it has tits that could smother a grown man. Sina's All Hours Pharmacy, where Veiled Sojourns No Refunds takes place, doesn't bother with subtlety. The first customer walks in with a stiffy problem and the clerk just... handles it. Right there. Behind the counter. Something about medicinal relief, she says, while her uniform buttons strain against the weight of her chest. I don't know if the devs have ever actually been inside a pharmacy but who cares when the pharmacist is built like a hentai wet dream and has zero boundaries.

The visual novel part is barely a game. You click, they fuck. That's it. No choices, no branching paths, just a straight line from point A to point B where B stands for boobs. And these are massive, the kind that make you wonder if the artist has ever seen a real woman or just kept adding circles until the character design looked physically impossible. Which, honestly, is exactly what I'm here for. The humor lands somewhere between stupid and genuinely funny, like when a guy comes in for headache medicine and somehow ends up getting his dick sucked as a "prescription." The writing doesn't try to be clever about it. It just is what it is.

The art's rough around the edges. Not in a charming way, more like someone was learning to draw and said fuck it, good enough. But there's this one scene where the pharmacist bends over to get something from a low shelf and her skirt rides up and I rewound that frame like four times because the ass was just... yeah. The big cock tag applies to the male customers, obviously, and the game doesn't shy away from showing everything. No mosaics, no fade to black. Just raw hentai logic where every health problem has a sexual solution. The working tag is doing a lot of heavy lifting here since the whole thing takes place during a shift at the pharmacy and the staff are very, very dedicated to customer satisfaction. Wish there was more buildup though. Everything happens so fast, zero tension, just bam bam bam and you're done in twenty minutes. But I keep coming back to it anyway so maybe that's not actually a complaint. The replay value is basically nonexistent unless you're like me and fixate on specific scenes. Which I do.

The character models in Glass Garden have this weird thing where their eyes don't quite track right during the corruption scenes. It's like they're looking at something just over your shoulder while they're supposed to be... you know. And I can't stop thinking about it. That tiny detail has lived in my head for three days now. The rest of the animation is actually pretty smooth for a browser game, especially the way the school uniforms come apart, but those eyes. They haunt me.

So you're this "special mentor" at an academy, which is already the sketchiest job title since that one VN where you're a "massage therapist" for a volleyball team. But here's the thing that got me. The Glass Garden Program isn't just some voyeur setup. It's recording emotional data. Sexual response patterns. And you're feeding it information about these students while slowly realizing the board is using that data to manipulate their actual futures. Like, career paths and marriages and shit. There's this one scene with the student council president where she's confessing something vulnerable and the UI just casually logs her heart rate and pupil dilation and I felt genuinely gross. Not in the fun way.

The harem routes are what you'd expect. The student council president, the shy library girl, the sporty one who's aggressive in a way that feels like it's trying too hard. The corruption mechanics are where it gets interesting though. You can push them toward different endings based on how much you exploit the system's data versus how much you try to protect them from it. I got the "architect" ending for the redhead and honestly didn't see it coming. The game doesn't judge you for being a creep but it definitely shows you the consequences. Sometimes the sex scenes feel like rewards and sometimes they feel like evidence. That's the part I keep coming back to when I'm looking at cosplay references. The outfits are hot but the context makes them hit different.

The frosting isn't the only thing getting glazed in this bakery sim. Aiko bends over the counter to wipe it down, her skirt riding up just enough, and you're supposed to be showing her how to work the register. Instead, your hand ends up tangled in her hair while she's on her knees behind the display case, those big innocent eyes looking up at you with a mouthful of something that definitely isn't a cream puff. The game doesn't even pretend to build up to it properly, just throws you into these scenes like a cat dropping a dead mouse at your feet. Here you go, enjoy.

The whole setup is you inherited granny's bakery, which honestly sounds like the start of a farming sim where the most exciting thing is unlocking a new muffin recipe. But Aiko walks in for a job interview and things get weird fast. She's got this whole online persona thing going on, the kind that involves webcams and a very different skillset than operating an industrial mixer. The dialogue is pure cheese, like someone ran a dozen J-dramas through Google Translate and then sprinkled in porn logic. "Oh no, the flour spilled all over my blouse, I must remove it immediately." Sure, Aiko. Sure. The art is that AI generated style that looks almost right but then you notice her fingers are doing something anatomically impossible in the background of one scene and you can't unsee it.

The domination tag is doing some heavy lifting here because honestly it swings both ways depending on the scene. One minute you're pinning her against the flour sacks, the next she's got you wrapped around her finger with that teasing smile, and the game doesn't really commit to either vibe. There's a handjob scene in the storage room that goes on for what feels like an actual eternity, just repetitive looped animation while she whispers the same three lines. I tabbed out to check Discord and when I came back it was still going. The vaginal scenes have more variety at least, if you can get past the weird physics of the apron staying perfectly in place the whole time. Why is nobody talking about the apron. It defies gravity and reason.

For a browser game it runs smooth enough, no crashes or anything, though the sound design is basically two stock tracks on shuffle and some wet slapping noises that sound like someone mixing macaroni salad. Not exactly immersive. But I guess you're not here for the ambiance.

The grill sizzles, the coffee’s burnt, and something in the back office doesn’t want you here. The Dented Kettle is that kind of game. You’re Sable, inheriting your dead grandma’s shithole diner, and honestly I’d rather scrub grease traps than deal with whatever the fuck is whispering through the walls. But here we are.

First date vibes are strong. You’re fixing appliances, serving lonely regulars, and trying not to stare too long at the girl who keeps showing up after closing. Time management is the surface layer, click this, upgrade that, watch the cash trickle in. But the real pull is the slow rot underneath. Lights flicker, the radio hums static, and Sable’s dreams get real weird, real fast. There’s a mystery here, something about legacy and things that shouldn’t be buried, and I’m not talking about expired meat in the freezer. The futanari tag isn’t front and center early on, but when it arrives, it’s not shy. Scenes hit with that deliberate, almost uncomfortable closeness, like the game knows you’re peeking through a cracked door. The writing stumbles sometimes, awkward phrasing that feels like a translation trying too hard, but then it lands a line about loneliness that actually stings.

I got stuck on the inventory system once, couldn’t find the wrench for twenty minutes, and honestly fuck that wrench. The character art is inconsistent, some sprites look like they wandered in from a different project. But then Sable will have a conversation with her grandmother’s ghost, or what she thinks is her grandmother, and the whole thing tightens into something genuinely unsettling. No hand holding, no map markers for the psychological damage. You want to know what’s really in the basement? Keep playing. Or don’t. The game doesn’t care. That’s what I respect about it. Legacy devs like this, the ones who bury the good stuff under grime, they’re the ones who stick with you.

bruh this game is like someone fed a my hero academia fanfic through a google translate blender and then sprinkled AI art on top. the tits look like water balloons filled with regret and ochaco’s face changes ethnicity between scenes. i’m not even mad. it’s the visual novel equivalent of a deepfried meme and i respect the lack of polish. like, deliberately unpolished. you can feel the dev going “fuck it” after every line of dialogue.

the setup is you’re some loser student at UA who suddenly gets a power and now you’re making deku and bakugo act out your porn brain fantasies. there’s this mechanic where you go “leader” or “tyrant” paths but honestly it’s just a vibe check for how much degradation you want. i clicked tyrant once and mid-scene momo’s schoolgirl uniform just evaporated, not even a tear animation. chef’s kiss. the writing has that special “english as a fourth language” flavor where deku says things like “you have made my body feel the strange feelings” and i’m sitting there wheezing.

one minute uraraka is confessing her love, next minute she’s bent over a desk with dialogue that sounds like a bad hentai subtitle crawled out of 2006. the harem aspect is chaotic. characters forget they’re supposed to be heroes. todoroki shows up for two lines then just… leaves? i keep thinking about the background. it’s a jpeg of a classroom that’s stretched wrong, pixels crying. why did they stretch it. it haunts me more than the actual porn. the gallery button didn’t work until i refreshed three times. this game is a beautiful disaster, a shitpost you can fap to sort of. mirror’s edge for degenerates but the ledge is wet paint.

Ok so I'm clicking on this girl. Cherry Bubblebelle Delphinium. What a name, right? Like someone threw anime and candy into a blender. She's this fusion of Princess Bubblegum and Sakura from Naruto, which is a combo I didn't know I needed until my brain started doing backflips. The whole thing runs in browser, no downloads or whatever, which is good because my laptop is already crying from all the... research files.

The first thing you notice is how unpolished it is. Deliberately so, I guess? The 3d model is... there. She's got pink hair and a vacant stare that somehow makes the whole thing hotter in a weird, janky way. You just click on her. That's it. Click her shoulder, she kinda twitches. Click her chest, and there's this awkward boob physics moment that feels like watching a mannequin come to life but only halfway. I laughed. Then I clicked again. I don't know what that says about me. The lack of any real game mechanics, no dialogue trees or stat tracking, just pure tactile poking, is almost meditative? No, that's a stupid word for it. It's more like poking a weird science experiment with a stick.

There's this moment where if you click her skirt enough times, the fabric sort of glitches and you get a panty shot that feels like you broke the game. And that's the reward. The whole "dating sim" tag is a lie, there's no romance here, just you and your mouse cursor and this silent, blinking anime princess who exists only to be touched. The crossover aspect is completely unhinged. Why does Sakura's forehead protector look like it's made of gum? The cozy tag is also a joke, nothing cozy about the dead silence except your own breathing. But I kept going back to it while scrolling Twitter on my phone. It's like a fidget spinner for degenerates. Award for Best Use of a Single Animation Loop, I guess. The bubblegum pink color palette is honestly kind of nice though. Wait, I said it was unpolished. It is. But the color is nice. Forget what I was talking about.

So my partner and I, we're always looking for games where you can just be a total degenerate without the game judging you for it, you know? This one, Dual Ascension, it starts with you and your best friend, classic setup, and there's this whole magic world and "progression fantasy" thing. Honestly I zoned out a bit on the lore because the main thing, the absolute core of it, is this "secret technique" you unlock. It's basically a cheat code for getting people naked. The first time it clicked, I actually laughed out loud. You're in this tense standoff with some elf guard who's way too serious, and the dialogue options are all like "try to reason" or "use the technique." You pick the technique and suddenly the whole scene just derails into this absurdly detailed, very explicit encounter. The writing doesn't try to be poetic, it's just... direct. "He pulled down her trousers and she gasped," that kind of thing. It knows what it is.

The art is... a choice. It's got that slightly off model, indie visual novel look where sometimes a hand looks like a bunch of bananas and other times the lighting on a pair of tits is weirdly perfect. My partner kept pointing at the screen going "why is his neck so thick?" during a supposedly sexy scene and we'd just lose it. But then, I don't know, the next scene would have this genuinely hot setup with a catgirl and the jankyness somehow made it hotter? Like finding a dirty magazine in the woods. It feels more transgressive than those super polished 3D games that try too hard. There's a part with a slime monster that I wish had more branching options, but it won't be updated so whatever.

We played it on the browser through that itch.io app, and the save system is a bit of a mess, I lost my progress once after a particularly good scene with the blacksmith's daughter and I almost threw my phone. The fetish stuff is there, it's not shy about it, but it's woven in without a big neon sign. It just... happens. One minute you're talking about mana cores, the next you're reading a very detailed description of something involving a tail that I won't spoil. The comedy lands more often than it should, mostly because the main character is such a horny idiot. There's a running joke about his "mana reserves" that's basically just a stamina bar for sex and it's the dumbest thing I've ever loved.

You ever notice how these Renpy things always have the same font? Like someone at a convention decided this is what "adult visual novel" looks like and nobody argued. Sorcerer Slayer has that font. But it also has a plot that actually made me stop clicking through dialogue, which is rare.

The setup is weirdly specific. Your dad dies, you skip the funeral because he was a dick, and then some woman shows up with news that flips everything. Turns out the guy who killed mages for a living left behind a son who's suddenly got magic in his blood. That's a solid hook. The writing leans into the awkwardness of it, not just the power fantasy. There's a scene early on where you're trying to hide a glowing hand from a neighbor and the dialogue options are all terrible in a realistic way. I picked the one about allergies. She didn't buy it.

The adult content is there, obviously. Parody elements keep it from getting too grim. Some of the fantasy jargon gets repetitive, and there's a point where the mystery woman explains the magic system for what felt like four screens of text. I started tapping the spacebar and accidentally skipped a sex scene, which is the opposite of what you want. The renders are decent, nothing groundbreaking, but the character designs have personality. One of the mages looks like she wandered in from a different game and I respect that.

I wish the game let you be more of an asshole about the whole situation. You're a professional killer, but the dialogue often forces you into "confused everyman" mode. That tension never quite resolves. Still, the twist on the usual chosen-one nonsense kept me reading longer than I planned. Not sure if that's a compliment or a warning.
