Chrono Harem: Artifact of Syr feels like something a horny engineer cooked up on his lunch break and then accidentally made too addictive. You start as this regular dude in the present, nothing special, scrolling your phone on the train and suddenly you’re neck deep in time bullshit and alien tech that keeps pulling you into a shiny sci-fi future. One second you’re flirting with a thick milf in yoga pants who pretends she doesn’t notice how you stare at her ass when she bends over, next second you blink and you’re in this sterile, glowing lab where a girl with huge tits in a tight futuristic suit is explaining timelines while your eyes are glued to her cleavage. The game pretends it cares about “timeline balance” and “destiny” and all that, but half the time you’re just trying to decide if you wanna finish the handjob in the present or jump to the future to see if the ahegao scientist will let you go further this time.

What I like is how it keeps mixing the ordinary boring daily stuff with straight up porn fantasy. You wake up, check messages, maybe meet a milf neighbor who leans close to “fix your collar” and pushes her big tits right in your face, and you know already it’s going to end with her on the couch, legs open, you buried inside her, her face twisted into that full ahegao, drool on her chin and those stupid hearts in her eyes. Then later, in the future timeline, there’s this scene where one of the girls pins you to some weird sci-fi chair, starts stroking you slow while asking “for test data”, and when you finally cum she looks almost offended she got covered, then licks it off her fingers like it was planned all along. The animations make those little moments hit harder, like when a girl is riding you and her big ass actually bounces, cheeks smacking lightly while she moans into your ear, or when she slides down on your dick in one smooth motion and her stomach flexes, mouth wide open, tongue out, eyes rolled back. Sometimes the faces are a bit weird and plastic and I hate that, but then again, when she’s sucking you off and her lips shine and her head moves faster, you kinda forget everything else.

There’s a funny contrast between the “save the future” vibe and the fact that every path seems to end with you getting some kind of pussy. Even the “serious” scenes turn horny fast. One girl is explaining some artifact lore and halfway through she’s already on her knees, unzipping you and giving you this slow, sloppy blowjob, her cheeks hollowing in and out, spit running down your shaft. Another moment you have this calm talk on a balcony about choices and fate, then she just turns around, lifts her skirt, shows off her huge ass in tight panties, and you just know you’re going to end up fucking her from behind, her tits swinging with every thrust. The game loves vaginal sex most, there’s a lot of angles where you see yourself pushing in all the way, her body shivering and that shocked ahegao popping up just when you slam deep. Sometimes I wish there was one girl who wasn’t stacked like a hentai poster, but that’s never happening and I already accepted it. It’s dirty, shameless, very male-protagonist brain, and it sort of feels like watching your horny browser history turn into a time travel story you can poke at on your phone while pretending you’re just playing a “normal” game.

Debt in porn games is like isekai in anime: it just keeps happening and nobody goes to therapy. Here, it actually feels nasty though. You start as this guy whose family name sounds richer than his bank account, and in one shitty morning everything collapses. Debt collectors at the door, mom trying to keep her voice steady, that gross feeling in your stomach when you realize the house, the women around you, your whole so-called “normal” life is basically on auction. Then the game goes “ok, what are you willing to do” and it doesn’t blink. That’s when it gets fun and kind of fucked up in the same time. You’re not just clicking through sex scenes, you’re pushing people who trust you, spying on them, letting yourself be used, or using them harder. I felt a bit shitty and still clicked every dirty option I could find.

The whole family is hot in that over-the-top porn way but the writing leans more into the vibe of, like, a messy drama show that accidentally turned into a hentai. Your mom has that tired milf energy, the kind where you can see she’s holding the house together with coffee and lies, and then the game lets you slowly cross lines with her. It starts with “accidental” gropes when she’s stressed and vulnerable, then you abuse the situation, help her, touch her, push her, play the good son while your hand stays on her ass a bit too long. There is a really fucked up scene where she’s crying over the debt papers and you comfort her, and the way the camera lingers when she leans into you makes it clear the game knows exactly how wrong this is and does not care at all. Same with the sisters and other women that end up orbiting you, it turns into a harem not because you’re charming, but because you learn how to use secrets, money, and their weak points. Sometimes you dominate, sometimes they pin you down and remind you that you’re not actually in charge, especially when a “strong” woman realizes she can jerk you off for information or shove a toy in you as payment for her help. There are sleep sex scenes that feel like you’re the worst person alive and voyeur scenes where you’re watching them masturbate because you set up the situation that pushed them there. Oral, creampie, spanking, all that is here, but what sticks more is the constant teasing and blackmail tone. Half of the sex feels like a negotiation, half like harassment that everyone pretends is “just this once” while moaning with that stupid ahegao face. It is trashy, morally broken, sometimes surprisingly emotional, sometimes just pure degenerate grinding for the next scene, and I kept telling myself “ok, last route” while already opening the next one on another tab.

Goblin Down feels like someone took a messy affair from a cheap motel, stitched it into a fantasy story, then forgot to iron the seams. Which I mean as a compliment. As a lingerie designer I kept thinking of it like a jealous little boudoir drama: tiny space, three bodies, way too much skin and not enough honesty. You start as this rookie adventurer who once got saved by a goblin girl, then years later she’s your wife, Qilka, and she’s basically the only one in the house with any common sense. Her design hits weirdly close to how I sketch green-skinned models: short, soft belly, those slightly too-big eyes that look innocent even when she’s getting railed, and that cheap village dress that screams “I can be pulled aside in one motion.” It’s not elegant, but it works. Like lace that scratches but looks hot in photos.

What hooked me most wasn’t even the orc at first, it was how fast the mood in the house rots once he shows up. One scene you bring this huge hurt bastard home like some stray dog, next scene you’re watching her fuss over him, wiping his chest, his thighs, pretending she’s just doing first aid while her cheeks are already a little flushed. There is this early voyeur moment where you peek through the cracked door and the animation has her hand hovering just a bit too long over his crotch, like she’s “accidentally” brushing it. That’s when the game stopped feeling like a heroic fantasy and more like catching your partner sexting with someone bigger. The actual sex escalates in a way that made my stomach twist: first it’s innocent tending, then a clumsy handjob where she looks like she’s not even sure how she got there, then full-on sloppy oral with her ears twitching and eyes rolled up, that classic ahegao face that would look stupid if the guilt wasn’t so heavy. Sometimes her expression is a bit too cartoony for the mood, by the way. I wanted one scene where she just looks wrecked inside, not only drooling and cross-eyed. But they never go there, they stay in that porn comic style, which annoyed me and I still kept going.

What I like, or hate, is how the corruption isn’t only about her. You as the husband are kind of pathetic and it’s hot in a really bad way. The game gives you these choices where you can pretend nothing’s wrong, go back to your guild work, or poke around like a paranoid idiot. I picked the coward route first, just left them alone, and later there’s this animated loop of the orc lifting her by the hips and pounding her from behind in your own bedroom, her ring still on her finger, and I actually paused and stared like it was some lingerie catalog shot I needed to analyze. Her little tits bounce against his stomach, the camera lingers on the creampie dripping out of her while she whispers how “it’s fine, he’ll never know.” It’s filthy and sort of beautiful in a trashy way, like mismatched bra and panties that somehow look better than a full set. There’s one scene where she rides him in your bed, looking back at the doorway, almost like she wants you to walk in and watch. That voyeur energy is crazy, even if a few transitions feel rushed, like they skipped a beat between nervous groping and full surrender. Still, the whole thing left me thinking about designing a set inspired by her: something green and torn at the hem, a little too small, like it belongs to a wife who says she’s loyal while her thighs are still sticky from someone else. And then I remembered this is just a short visual novel and I’m overthinking it while she’s taking orc dick again in the next CG.

According to Sofia feels like reading someone’s horny diary while drunk, where every second page is a new excuse for why “this doesn’t count as cheating”. You’re basically hanging inside Sofia’s head while she lives with Bob, swears she loves him, and then spends the whole game bending the idea of loyalty like it’s a yoga class for her morals. She’s this bubbly blonde who acts dumb on purpose, but she’s not dumb, she’s just really good at pretending rules are optional if the dick is big enough or the dare sounds fun. One moment she’s cuddling Bob on the couch, promising she’d never hurt him, and the next she’s at some party letting a stranger draw on her boobs with a marker because “it’s just body art, like a tattoo, not sex”. The game leans into that constant mental gymnastics. You get those scenes where someone dares her to play strip poker, and she folds instantly, loses on purpose, laughs, and ends up naked on the table with guys staring at her, and she goes “Don’t worry, Bob, it’s only a game, not cheating if nobody cums… on the inside”. Yeah, the logic is that cursed.

What I liked is how the situations escalate without a big dramatic drum roll. It crawls up on you. First it’s just some flirty truth or dare, “show your panties” kind of thing. Then suddenly she’s on her knees in the bathroom during a house party, giving a messy blowjob to some dude she just met because technically “mouth stuff isn’t real sex” in her weird internal rulebook. And the game really milks the facial expressions. She has that innocent wide-eyed look while she’s swallowing, like she’s trying to convince herself and the player at the same time that this is fine, totally fine, nothing wrong here. There’s this one scene with a “backdoor only” arrangement that pretty much sums up the whole vibe. She’s drunk, straddling this guy’s lap, already half fucked, then stops and giggles, “But it can’t go in the front, that would be cheating, only the back is allowed.” And yeah, the game commits. You see everything, how her body reacts, how she tries to say no and then changes her mind mid-moan because “rules are flexible, right?” It’s filthy, sometimes stupid, sometimes actually funny in a fucked up way. She’ll finish with another guy, wipe her mouth, then go home to Bob acting like the sweetest girlfriend ever, baking something or snuggling him like she didn’t just get railed in a stairwell. I wish the game sometimes slowed down to show more of Bob’s side, his suspicions, but it kind of works that he’s this soft blur in the background while Sofia’s wild logic runs the show. It’s her world, he’s just the excuse she uses to call the whole mess “technically faithful.”
