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.

It starts weirdly calm, like you’re just some apprentice mixing shiny vials and pretending to know what “essence of lust” actually means. Then bam - suddenly your cauldron’s spitting out half-naked succubi with tits that look like they could crush a skull, and you’re not even sure if you made a potion or accidentally summoned a sex goddess. The shop feels alive, like every bottle wants to fuck with you (literally). You throw in a drop of angel tears, a dash of demonic ichor, and the screen flashes with this sinful art that makes you forget what ingredient you were reaching for. One second it’s alchemy, next it’s pure corruption - beautiful and filthy at once.

And here’s the thing: the more you experiment, the weirder it gets. You start seeing transformations that make your brain stutter. A sweet nun turning into a moaning futa demon? Yeah, that’s here. That smug vampire MILF who pretends she’s above everyone? She ends up begging for tentacle attention if you mix her essence wrong. It doesn’t even feel like porn sometimes - it’s more like watching a fever dream where morality got drunk and stripped naked on stage. There’s something fucked-up but kinda poetic about how your “mistakes” unlock the dirtiest scenes. Every combo feels risky, like you might trigger an ending or unleash another monster-girl orgy behind the counter.

Sometimes I just let the ingredients sit there, glowing and humming, because the tension is better than the result. But then curiosity wins and… yeah. Group chaos. Flesh everywhere. Ahegao faces that look too real. Even the background music sounds like it’s breathing heavy. You think you’ve seen all fetishes before, but this game mutates them, blends them into something both holy and disgusting. It’s not polished, not safe, not nice - and that’s exactly why it works. Like dark magic that smells faintly of sweat and sin.

Maya is the kind of main character who feels like someone you met on Discord at 3% battery, oversharing in voice chat. She’s smart, horny in that unhealthy way, socially anxious as hell, and completely stuck in this pathetic loop of “I’ll study after I cum” that never actually reaches the study part. Her whole life is basically porn tabs, half-finished assignments, and that weird empty feeling after the 5th orgasm where you just stare at the ceiling and hate yourself. Then some divine power pops into her mess of a life and goes, “Yeah, you, the sweaty shut-in with the colossal futa dick, you’re Heaven’s new agent.” Not a holy sword, not a magic staff. Her cock is literally her magic conduit. So now you go from one-handed mobile masturbation in bed to blasting demons apart with sex-fueled miracles and fucking your way through a fantasy war that somehow still leaves time for dates, awkward small talk, and way too many internal monologues about self-worth. I liked how the game doesn’t pretend she’s confident: in one scene she’s trying to flirt with a monster girl with soft tentacles and ends up stuttering so badly that the girl just wraps her up in a teasing embrace and strokes her shaft like “shh, let big sis handle it.” It’s horny as hell and also painfully relatable in a “wow, I too would forget how words work if someone like that grabbed my crotch” way.

What really sticks is how much of it feels like a horny sandbox built around her anxiety instead of ignoring it. One moment you’re in a turn based fight with a demon milf that keeps taunting you mid-combat, promising a creampie “reward” if you lose on purpose, and the next you’re back in town trying to figure out if your last date was an actual date or just “we had coffee and then I titfucked her against a church wall.” The dating side is messy and kind of adorable: you can get a shy monster girl to open up after a long chat, then Maya instantly ruins the mood by getting a spontaneous erection and trying to cover it with her spellbook. Of course, that leads to a handjob under the table, because subtlety died a long time ago here. There’s this one early quest where a holy spirit basically tells you, “Stop wasting your magic on solo masturbation,” and if you ignore it and go back to your room to jerk off again, the game actually reacts with new lines about her spiraling. Then later you end up using the same overcharged cock to double-penetrate a demoness in a ruined chapel, swapping between anal and oral finish like it’s some tactical decision. Watching Maya go from sad, lonely edging on her phone to confidently ramming her way through demon ranks, filling them, breeding them, even letting some of them breed her back when you choose the right options, it all lands harder because she still has those moments where she panics, overthinks, breaks down, or accidentally orgasms too fast. The art leans into big tits and big ass like it’s a religion, futa focus is unapologetic, and seeing that huge thing sliding between soft thighs, then buried deep in a monster girl’s pussy, then pushed into her ass in the next scene, never really gets old. There is one UI button in the corner that flickers in the ugliest shade of blue imaginable and it pisses me off way more than it should, but anyway, if you ever wanted an anxious, horny, half-broken hero whose dick literally decides the fate of Heaven and Hell, Maya’s story hits that sweet, filthy spot.

Jenny starts this thing already in trouble and I kind of love that. No slow “haha we’re just students on a trip” bullshit, you blink and she’s in a cave, stuff falls, boom, she’s cut off from everyone and stuck in the dark with a flashlight that feels like it came from a cheap gas station. And that’s where the game actually gets fun, because it’s just her, her huge tits squeezed into that tight outfit, and whatever the hell is moving in the wet shadows around her. It’s horny, yeah, but also kind of gross in a good way, like watching a horror movie on Netflix while you keep pausing to check horny Reddit subs on your phone. The vibe is this weird mix of “I should not be turned on by this” and “ok but I absolutely am.” Tentacles slide in from the edges of the screen, you see something pulse behind a rock, then the game pretends to give you choices that feel important but really you’re just deciding which hole gets attention first.

The 2D art is AI assisted and you can kind of tell, but in this game it weirdly fits. Faces sometimes have that “too smooth to be real” thing and some fingers look like they’re not sure how many they want to be, but when it focuses on Jenny’s body it hits the right spots. Those big soft tits, the way her ass is framed when she’s crawling through a tight tunnel, the slimy shine on her skin when the cave things finally grab her... I was queuing tracks on Spotify like “okay, this scene is pure darkwave,” then suddenly I’m switching to some filthy bass-heavy techno because she’s getting wrapped up by a nest of tentacles and moaning like a pornstar on xHamster. The pacing is funny, too. You get one slow, teasing moment where she’s just brushing dirt off her chest and you’re like “alright, character building,” then two clicks later something from the ceiling is groping her through the shirt and the game never really looks back. I wish the dev would let one scene breathe longer, just once, let her struggle more before giving in, but I know that’s never happening and honestly that’s okay, this thing is clearly here for quick and dirty.

What surprised me most is how often it plays with angles. One moment you get a close-up of her scared face lit by the phone screen, the next it cuts to this low shot that is basically “here’s her ass, congrats.” Subtle like a truck. You get grabbed in a narrow passage, her legs pinned, tentacles coiling under her top, and there’s that awkward second where she still tries to act like she’s in control. Then you see her expression crack and it stops being horror and turns into that “oh fuck, this feels way too good” look. I liked how sometimes the cave feels almost like a horny character itself, like every wall is hiding something that wants to feel her curves. There’s one scene near a glowing pool where she leans in thinking it might be water, and the reflection is just her with these unreal perfect breasts, and then something in the pool reaches up and you already know what’s about to happen but you still click. It’s trashy, inconsistent, a bit cheap, but if your brain lives somewhere between Pornhub, creepy pasta stories, and weird hentai memes on Discord, it hits the exact wrong/right spot. Dare to play it alone, or invite company?

This thing starts like one of those generic plague quests you click through while half scrolling Twitter, and then it quietly slaps your brain. You’re the brave idiot sent by the king to find a cure in a cursed forest, classic fantasy setup, nothing special. What sells it is that you’re dragging your elven wife along. Vallabelle. Tiny bit too perfect at first: kind, loyal, soft voice, big tits that are somehow both modest and absolutely not, all that “pure priestess” energy. At the start she’s healing your wounds, blessing your sword, kissing your cheek like some Pinterest couple goal, and you’re thinking “ah ok, cute couple porn, chill.” Then you realize it’s not actually about you being a hero. It’s about how fast this forest will eat that purity and spit it back out on your screen.

The game is a straight kinetic ride, so forget about pretending you’re in control with choices. You’re more like a very horny ghost sitting on the guy’s shoulder, watching his life slowly fall apart. And it works weirdly well. The first time the tentacles show up, it’s not even “sexy” at the beginning. It’s messy, slimy, she’s terrified, you’re useless, and the camera leans into that voyeur thing hard. There’s this moment where you’re hiding in the bushes, literally watching your own wife get pinned, her robe pulled open, and the art just lingers on her face, not the monster. Slight tremble in her lips, a tear, and then that tiny, horrible shift when fear starts mixing with arousal. I hated it. I replayed the scene twice. That kind of game. Later you’re sitting in bed scrolling Telegram in real life and your brain randomly goes “yeah but remember when she started moving her hips on that thing” and suddenly Chrome is open again.

What got me was how the corruption is slow and petty. It’s not like she just wakes up and wants to fuck everything. You get little steps. The first hesitant handjob she gives some sleazy “ally” in exchange for help, while you’re right there pretending you don’t understand what’s going on. The “accidental” groping that she doesn’t push away fast enough. That one scene where she bends over to heal a villager and the shot just camps on her ass pushing against the fabric, and you can tell from her eyes that she knows someone’s staring, and she kinda likes it. Or when she’s teasing you before sleep, jerking you off slow, then pulls away with that “save your strength for tomorrow, dear” while you just saw what she did behind the ruined chapel. The game never asks if you’re okay with cheating, it just assumes you’re along for this slow motion car crash. At some point I caught myself more focused on how far she would go than on saving the kingdom. Which is stupid, because the plague is still a thing, but whatever. The pure priestess that started the journey is not the same girl doing oral in a ruined shrine while a bunch of eyes watch from the dark, and you’re still calling her “my beloved” like a clown. It’s gross, hot, annoying, addictive. Honestly, I’m not even sure I liked it. I couldn’t stop either.

Fashion Spice looks at you like one of those super glossy perfume ads, then five minutes later it’s got a tentacle under the table and a vibrator on max in somebody’s ass while the lights flicker like a horror movie. On the surface it’s all catwalks, photo shoots, champagne, big tits wobbling in slow animation while some fashion dude screams about “the vision” in the background. Under that surface, everyone is fucking everyone, sometimes literally at the same time, and half the cast is hiding things that feel way too cursed to be in a modeling agency. It starts kind of normal: a male protagonist trying to climb the ladder, a couple of hot MILF managers who are “too professional” and somehow always end up with their panties around their knees, some shy model who pretends she never masturbates then you catch her riding a toy on the studio couch when she thinks the cameras are off. Then the narrative just keeps twisting. You think, ok this is just romance with tits, then someone signs a contract that clearly isn’t normal, the lights go red, and now there are slick, pulsing tentacles coming out from places you do not want to think about, stuffing every wet hole they find while the character moans like she’s been waiting her whole life to be used like that. And in the middle of that, the game asks you to choose if you want to save her or push deeper into the corruption. I clicked “fuck it, more” on my phone in the metro, by the way, and I regretted nothing except the guy behind me who definitely saw the animated group sex scene.

It’s weird in a good way how it jumps between classy and nasty. One scene is two girls in lingerie, soft kissing, slow oral, fingers gently exploring, like a perfect little lesbian romance with nice soft lighting and that “I’ve wanted you for years” kind of tension. Then next route you switch to the same girl and she’s in a backroom photoshoot, tied up, gagged, and a bunch of “investors” are lining up for anal and multiple penetration while she gets groped from all sides and glazed with cum inside and out. It should feel cheap, but somehow the whole horror angle makes it hotter. There is that one moment on mobile where I was just trying to skip some dialogue, and suddenly the screen is full of teeth, dripping slime, and a monster shadow fucking a model against a mirror while her reflection looks different than her body. It’s actually kind of disturbing, especially because the game keeps acting like it’s still just a normal erotic romance about chasing fame. Sometimes the plot takes itself a bit too serious, like mafia speeches and “power and destiny” monologues while on the next tap someone is deepthroating under the table during a business meeting. But then you get this silent little scene of a burned-out MILF agent masturbating alone in her office with a toy under her desk, pretending to work, and that tiny moment somehow hits more real than all the dramatic stuff. I kept telling myself I’d just check one more route before sleep, then another, because I wanted to see who actually survives this glamorous hellhole and who ends locked in some wet basement with tentacles keeping them permanently stretched and dripping. The game never really lets you relax: one second sweet, next second it’s horror, then romance, then pure porn with creampies, messy oral, monsters, and way too many fingers in the same place, and you’re just there, tapping on your phone, pretending this is still just “fashion content.”

Luciene feels like that woman you glimpse through a half open curtain in summer, you know? Late 30s or early 40s, big soft ass, tits that don’t care about gravity anymore, moving around the house like it belongs to her and also like she’s a little bored of it. The whole game kind of lives in that lazy heat. You’re not rushing to save the world, you’re walking around a quiet house, checking the phone, moving from room to room, pretending to be responsible while your brain is already thinking about who might be watching when you bend over just a bit too far to pick up a sock. It looks like a simple mobile game at first, some icons, some rooms, some chores, but then you realize the whole thing is built to make you feel watched. Or to make you want to be watched. Exhibition stuff is everywhere, but not in your face, more like “oops I left the door half open while I masturbate in the bath and someone might see” kind of vibe. And sometimes they really do.

What I liked is that the corruption feels slow and messy. She doesn’t go from “pure virgin soul” to total slut in one scene. Instead you click the same yoga mat three times in a few in-game days and suddenly the pose is a little more suggestive, the leggings ride up her huge ass, and you catch a little animated jiggle when she stretches. Then, on a random morning, you notice one of the guys lingering at the doorway, just a small voyeur moment that doesn’t even give you a big reward, just this tiny handjob tease in your head. Then later the game goes “oh by the way” and throws actual animated hand action on the couch, like it was building up to that the whole time. I kind of hated that the sandbox pacing is all over the place. Sometimes you get three horny scenes in a row, then nothing for a while, just management stuff like planning chores, checking messages, rearranging the day and hoping some pervy event triggers. But I also loved that. It made the rare tentacle encounter in the bathroom mirror feel weird and special instead of just “ok, another monster scene, next”. The first time those slick things curl around her legs while she’s touching herself, she doesn’t scream, she just looks… confused, then curious, then there is this smug little smile like “hm, this thing listens better than the boys in the house.” And yeah, there is a bit of female domination sprinkled around, not full hardcore domme, more like Luciene knowing that everyone in that house is thinking about her huge tits and she starts teasing them on purpose. She walks in with the towel too loose, bends over too slowly, does “innocent” masturbation with the bedroom door not really closed. It’s lewd, but it also feels like she’s playing a long game.

The weakest thing for me is also what makes it stick in my brain. So many days you just wander the house like some horny ghost, doing laundry, checking who is in which room, repeating actions, waiting for a new corruption step to unlock. It can feel grindy as hell, like “why am I doing dishes to see one more frame of big ass animation?” And yet when that new scene finally shows up, like her giving a lazy, almost bored handjob while texting on her phone, it hits ten times harder. The little voyeur shots from corners, the way the camera lingers on her wet fingers when she finishes a bath-time masturbation session, the moment she looks straight at you, like she knows you are the monster hiding behind the screen. The game flirts with tentacle stuff and monster presence, but it keeps most of it in the corners, like a dirty secret behind the walls of this very normal house. Sometimes I wish it just went full hentai chaos and stopped pretending to be a cozy management sandbox. But also, I like that slow burn feeling, that half guilty, half proud milf energy when she realizes she can control everyone just by how she sits on the couch. It’s not perfect, some days nothing sexy happens at all and you just tap around annoyed, but when Luciene stands naked in front of the window at night, legs slightly apart, fingers sliding between her thighs, fully aware someone might be watching from the other side of the glass, the whole thing suddenly makes so much sense you forget you were complaining at all.

Nobody here remembers shit, but everybody wants to fuck. That’s basically the vibe of this game, in a good way and also in a kind of fucked up way that sticks in your head when you’re trying to answer an email on Gmail and suddenly you remember that scene with the slime girl choking on a dick made of tentacles. You wake up in this weird world with a bunch of strangers, no names, no past, just horny bodies and monsters that look like they came from a hentai subreddit and a fever dream at same time. I liked how it doesn’t even pretend to be “normal fantasy” for long. One second you’re talking about how to survive, next second you’re on your knees in front of some smug demon guy, mouth full, while text box is describing how your throat is learning a new religion. And it works. Too well, actually.

What caught me was how the game lets you lean into different filth without doing a big tutorial voice. You just kind of realize, oh, if I pick this slightly pathetic answer, my character gets humiliated harder later, and suddenly the “I’ll do anything, just don’t leave me alone here” line becomes a whole gangbang in some ruined temple where you’re pinned between a futa priestess and a monster with too many cocks. Anal, vaginal, your ass used like it belongs to the group, cum dripping everywhere, that nice little text detail about feeling it leak out when you try to walk after. There’s this one scene where you’re supposed to “negotiate” with a monster girl tribe, except the negotiation is basically who you let fuck you first while the others watch. I thought it would be just generic porn dialogue, but they really lean into the humiliation: they call you a “lost little virgin toy” even when you’re already full of cum from earlier route. Consistency? No. But somehow that randomness makes it hotter, because the game acts like your holes are always ready for another round no matter what you did 5 minutes ago. I kinda hate that. I also replayed that part three times on Firefox because the timing for some choices actually changes the angle of who finishes where. That thing where you wake up half-asleep and someone’s already pushing inside you, and the text pretends you’re not sure if you’re dreaming, that messed with me more than the loud monster fights.

What’s funny is how it tries to be an “adventure” and a “mystery” while you’re also getting covered in cum every other conversation. You’ve got the whole “why are we here, what happened to our old world” questions, but I kept getting distracted by little details like the way the game describes teeth on a tentacle mouth right before it goes down on you, or how the lesbian route with the monster girl isn’t soft at all, she just grinds you into the ground and basically uses your face until you can’t see straight. There’s also a guy-on-guy tension that sneaks up on you: one of the “normal” dudes you meet turns into full-on gay route if you answer him with just slightly too much kindness, and suddenly your “thanks for saving me” scene becomes you sucking him off while a shadow thing watches, and you both pretend you don’t notice. Group scenes go pretty hard too, like proper multiple cocks in one hole, pussy and ass stuffed, bukkake on top, cumshot text taking more lines than the actual plot. But the game still tries to make you care about “restoring balance to the world” while you’re wiping jizz off your chest for the third time in one chapter. I kind of wish the UI buttons were less tiny, but yeah, that’s not going to change and I’m still going to keep clicking “yes” when some creepy tentacle offers to “show a different kind of welcome.” Just don’t expect the story to respect your choices as much as it respects your holes. It remembers exactly where to put the next cock, but forgets everything else. Honestly, same.

Project Exilium – Breeding Protocol looks like somebody took Slay the Spire, got horny, and then forgot what “tasteful” means. In a good way, mostly. You’re this unlucky guy thrown into a messed up alien system where literally everything is trying to kill you or fuck you or both. The game pretends it’s about elemental strategy and survival and all that serious sci-fi stuff… then five minutes later you’re staring at an event screen where a slime girl is wrapped around your dick while you’re thinking, “Ok if I pick the left option I get +1 card draw, but the right option might get me pregnant loot.” It hits that sweet spot where your brain is half calculating probabilities and half just zooming in to see if the tentacle is really going inside all the way. Spoiler: it is.

The combat is turn based card stuff, but it doesn’t play safe. Cards that ramp up your lust are often the strongest tools, so you keep doing this stupid thing where you buff yourself into a corner. You know that if the bar fills you’re triggering the breeding protocol and suddenly the fight turns into a sex scene where you’re getting milked, stuffed, creampied, whatever. But also that scene might give you a rare card, or a mutation, or pregnancy related bonus, so you start intentionally edging your character like some degenerate poker player. I had this one run where I built a deck only around stalling and groping moves, just to farm lust. Felt dirty in the right way. Losing because you misplayed a shield card is one feeling. Losing because you miscounted the number of times a bio‑mech girl can ride you before you pass out is different. And a little funny. The sandbox part sneaks in too. The more you play, the more weird combinations of characters and elements unlock, so suddenly your “tactic” is: put the tanky alien girl in front, let her take hits, then pump her lust to max so she catches you in a full penetration scene that also debuffs the enemy. Sex literally as crowd control. I’m still not over the first time I discovered a breeding-focused build actually clears fights faster than my tryhard “pure damage” deck. Felt like the game was mocking me, in a horny way.

The art is AI CG, and honestly, sometimes it shows. You have these hot shots with big tits, tentacles in all the right openings, perfect glossy skin, the usual hentai fever dream. Then you notice a hand with six fingers or a belly curve that screams “ok the AI had a stroke here.” I kinda love it though. Feels like browsing one of those cursed Twitter threads at 1% battery where it’s 80 percent fap material and 20 percent “why does her clavicle look like a second dick.” As a collector of weird censored screenshots I already screenshotted like 50 scenes just because of the little glitches. Nipples barely covered by a UI box, stray tentacle clipping through a thigh, a creampie overlay that’s slightly misaligned so it looks like the cum is going the wrong way. Beautiful, in a trashy way. My only real complaint is the interface click sound. It’s this tiny, soft noise that sounds like a mobile notification from Telegram, and every time I misclick I keep checking my phone. The game keeps ramping up the pregnancy and breeding angles the further you go, and at some point you stop asking “is this too much” and start asking “ok which enemy gives the best knock‑up buff.” It’s not subtle. It doesn’t want to be. And somehow that fits this whole horny, grindy, half‑horror, half‑porn card game Frankenstein thing way better than if it tried to be classy.
