Truck-kun hits again and boom, you wake up broke in a trashy fantasy world, with a body that actually works and a bunch of gorgeous girls who legally count as your property. Not heroic party members, not “companions”. Slaves. The kind of setup old eroge hinted at but never really went all-in with. You’re the guy in charge, the male lead, the one who gets to fuck, punish, comfort, and “train” them, while also trying not to starve to death. It’s this weird mix of anime isekai gag and grimy brothel management, except instead of nameless clients and dull menus, you’re face to face with the same girls over and over, learning what makes them moan, what makes them cry, and sometimes both at the same time. The game doesn’t pretend you’re a saint either: you’re poor, you’re horny, you love big tits and big asses, and you’re not shy about filling every hole. Vaginal, anal, sucking you off under the table, POV shots of you emptying inside them till it drips out. Lots of creampies, like someone in the dev team grew up pausing old hentai VHS just to stare at the white mess.

What really got me was how it swings between romance and straight-up filth without warning. One scene you’re gently comforting a shy “trap” who looks better in a dress than most girls, trying to ease his insecurity while still grabbing his ass. Next moment you’re pushing a milf against the wall, her tits spilling out, face twisted in full ahegao while she begs for more. The girls feel like a mix of old-school hentai archetypes: clingy little sister type who really, really shouldn’t crawl into your bed but does it anyway, mature milf who pretends she’s above prostitution and then starts grinding on some old guy because you told her to, tall futa who is both your rival and your toy. And since the story is openly netorase, the MC is the rare degenerate who actually enjoys seeing “his” women fucked by other men. Not cheating, not humiliation, more like he sets up the scene, watches from the shadows or right up close, and jerks off while the girls moan someone else’s name, then he still finishes inside them after, marking them again. If that idea makes your stomach twist, this is not a game that will “convince” you. It just assumes you’re the kind of pervert who sees your slave getting railed by two guys and thinks, “Nice, now I don’t have to warm her up.”

There’s humor sprinkled between all the filth, the kind of dumb fantasy jokes that feel like some 90s otaku brain never updated: jokes about slimes, about guild quests, about “ancient evil” that keeps getting pushed aside because someone needs money for new underwear. Half the time the protagonist talks like an overconfident dilf in a doujin, half the time he’s a broke loser jerking off in a corner while his girl earns cash on her knees. Sometimes that contrast is hot, sometimes it’s just awkward, but that awkwardness is oddly nostalgic to me, like those old pc games where tone changed panel to panel. Scenes are animated enough that blowjobs and group sex feel messy, with bodies moving and faces reacting, instead of just still images. Watching a full harem pile-up, girls on top of girls, a futa pounding some poor slave while your POV is buried in milf ass in front, feels like catching a lost episode of Bible Black someone remade with modern tools and less shame. You’ll catch yourself thinking “this is too much”, then immediately clicking the next scene to see your favorite girl spread again for a stranger while you stand there, smiling like a proud owner.

Prison is already kind of horny if you think about it, and this game just leans into that in a way that feels wrong in the nice way. You’re this broke guy who literally went to jail because he tried to keep his family from starving, and instead of endless soap jokes you get thrown into a “college program” that looks more like some cult experiment. Concrete walls, shitty fluorescent light, and in the middle of that you’ve got curvy professors in tight blouses, prison staff with asses that don’t fit in regulation pants, and a social worker who talks about “rehabilitation” while squeezing her tits together so hard you can almost hear it. The tone is weird, like half after-school special, half “what if graduation meant stuffing your cock between big soft breasts in the counselor’s office.” It actually makes sense in a twisted way: your ticket out is not shanking someone, it’s answering trivia and not getting distracted by the jiggle physics your brain is inventing while you look at the art.

The whole trivia angle sounds lame until you’re in the middle of a question and realize your dick is on the line. One wrong answer and the professor with the glasses and ridiculous rack tells you she’s “disappointed,” pulls her skirt down just enough to show you what you could have had, then sends you back to your cell with nothing but blue balls and the echo of her voice in your head. Then on another day you get on a streak, nail a bunch of questions in a row and suddenly you’re pinned to her desk, her big tits wrapped around you, lipstick smeared, moaning about “good study habits” while you try to remember if you even saved the family you went to jail for. There’s this one scene with the prison nurse where she pretends it’s a “full body check,” and she’s clinically stroking your cock, asking you random knowledge questions while you’re trying not to cum before you finish the quiz. If you manage to hold back and answer, she drops the cold professional act and just sinks down on you, riding you slow while the little health monitor blinks in the corner like it’s judging both of you. And yeah, sometimes the trivia itself feels like your high school teacher copy pasted Wikipedia after two glasses of wine, and a couple questions repeat in a way that makes your erection feel smarter than the script, but somehow that fits the whole cheap, wrong, horny together vibe. One minute you’re deep in some nonsense about history, the next the social worker’s bent over the metal table, you’re buried in her ass, and she’s still trying to finish a sentence about “emotional growth” while you pound into her like the only diploma you want is dripping down her thighs. It’s trashy, almost lazy in places, but there’s this dirty charm in seeing a grim concrete prison turned into a fucked up campus where every right answer peels off another layer of clothing and every oral exam ends with actual oral. You’re not just grinding stats, you’re grinding through shame and lust and the feeling that some ancient god is laughing at you while you try to balance general knowledge with the urge to blow your load all over your teacher’s big tits.

Dark Dreams looks like the kind of place where a horny virgin RPG nerd would go “ok, yeah, this is where I die happy”. You start as this awkward guy finally getting into the city after busting his ass for years, and the world hits you in the face fast. Humans and these almost-human simic girls live together, and right away you feel that thing in the air: everyone’s a little too touchy, a little too curious, like the whole city is permanently on the edge of a wet dream. Simics are in trouble because they barely get male babies anymore, so suddenly your clueless, blue-balled main guy? He’s not just some random dude. He’s basically a walking fuckable resource. The game does a fun job of letting you feel that shift, too. At the start you’re this shy, “sorry, I never even had a proper handjob” type. After a while, it’s like every corner of the city has someone who wants to test how much stamina you actually have, with this weird mix of fantasy lore and “please cum in me for science”.

What I really liked is how the sandbox part doesn’t hold your hand too much. You wander the city, talk to girls, peek through wrong doors like a creep, and suddenly you’re watching someone getting her throat used in an alley, animated and messy, while your guy is hiding in the shadows jerking off, shaking like he might blow just from watching. Some events feel almost accidental, in a good way. I had one scene where I just went back to the same house at the “wrong” time and walked in on a simic girl riding some guy hard, moaning like her life depends on it. Instead of kicking you out, she locks eyes with you, tells the guy to shut up, and starts using her hand on you too, both cocks getting stroked while she keeps grinding, like she’s trying to milk two faucets at once. It’s raunchy as hell, but there’s also this weird emotional layer, because story-wise they are low-key desperate for strong males, and sex is half lust, half survival. Then later, the same girl sits you down and talks about dreams and ancient shit from Phaeton like she didn’t just have your dick in her mouth against the wall earlier. I kinda like that messy tone shift. Or maybe I don’t. Depends on mood.

Once you start making choices, the game leans hard into the “every touch means something” idea. Sleep with one girl and actually finish in her, and the game remembers. Go for masturbating alone in your small room, watching your phone glow while some simic girl sends you half-naked clips from the bath, and the story bends differently. You can go full voyeur mode, spying from staircases and balconies, staying a virgin a bit longer while you watch other people get their holes filled. Or you can just break and go straight for vaginal, anal, oral, whatever you can unlock, turning the hero from this soft boy to a confident bastard who knows exactly how deep to push. Some of the animated scenes are rough in a good way: that sloppy first blowjob where she struggles with the tip, drool all over, your guy trying not to thrust, then completely failing and shoving it down anyway, her gagging but grabbing your hips so you don’t pull out. That one stuck in my brain. And yeah, the whole “healing power of touch” thing is cheesy as fuck sometimes, but you forget about it when a simic girl is riding your cock slow, staring into your eyes, talking about saving her race while she slides down to the base and you’re torn between listening to the lore and just trying not to cum in five seconds. Oh, and the mobile side is surprisingly smooth, I played half of it on my phone in the bathroom with Chrome on, one hand playing and the other very busy, and it still ran better than some “serious” games on PC. The only thing that annoyed me is that tiny UI thing in the corner that I kept tapping by mistake, but whatever, it’s not getting fixed and I kind of hate it. Anyway, the game keeps mixing slow story scenes with explicit moments where you’re elbows-deep in someone, or she’s sitting on your face while jerking you off, and somehow that fits right in with all the talk about destroyed planets and lost civilizations. Weird combo. Works. Mostly.

Nate is that type of guy you see behind the counter in a tiny comic shop and instantly forget five minutes later, and honestly that is kind of the charm here. The story starts really calm, almost too slow, like one of those cozy slice-of-life anime where nothing happens, except this time the nothing is a nerdy dude watching a streamer he jerks off to. PixelEllie looks like every gamer crush you ever had on Twitch and Instagram at the same time, all soft colors and fake “oops my shirt slipped” moments, and then you realize in this VN that she is way filthier than she pretends on stream. There is a weird tension between how cute everything looks and how raw the sex gets later. It feels like your Pinterest board of pastel gamer girls suddenly got corrupted by a Pornhub playlist, which for me is exactly the vibe.

What I liked is how the erotic scenes build up from really basic stuff. First you just watch Ellie online, like any simp with a phone. A bit of voyeurism, some teasing, the classic “I’m not touching myself, you’re touching yourself” thing. Then Nate finds her browser history and the game quietly turns up the heat. Suddenly she is into threesomes, sharing, hotwife stuff, and he is caught between “this is hot” and “am I actually okay with my girl getting fucked by someone else while I watch.” They do a lot of chatting, sexting, sending pictures, little masturbating scenes alone in bed that feel more honest than the big group sex moments. The first time Nate sees her with someone else feels kind of sick in the stomach and horny at the same time. You get that awful netorare taste, like your brain says no but your dick says absolutely yes, keep watching. There is anal, oral, regular vaginal fucking, sometimes pretty romantic, then suddenly she is moaning for another guy harder than for you and you realize this VN kind of hates you and loves you at the same time.

Lana, the roommate, is a mess in the best way. She is a cam girl with that “I know exactly how to break your brain” attitude, and the game does not pretend she is some secret angel. She is trouble. One scene she is helping Ellie pick outfits for stream and it is all giggles and shorts that barely cover her ass, next scene she is grinding on Nate like she owns him. The group sex and swinging parts feel dirty but not like a porn script, more like those real couples you accidentally find on Chaturbate at work and then pretend you never did. I wish we had more quiet romance moments in between all the sharing and corruption, like actual dates that are not just the setup for public teasing or another open-relationship experiment, but I also know I would skip half of them to reach the next scene where Nate is forced to watch while Ellie rides someone else with that fucked up smile. It is sweet and kind of heartbreaking and also makes you want to jerk off twice in a row. The whole thing feels like scrolling through TikTok thirst traps and then suddenly dropping into a hardcore swinger subreddit by accident, except you keep scrolling anyway.
