Summer here feels like a horny fever dream that never quite cools down. School’s done, the city looks normal at first glance, but everyone’s too hot, too bored, too ready to make bad decisions with you. You’re this guy who’s “trying to fix his life”, but honestly, most of the time you’re just running around the map checking your phone, grinding stats and accidentally walking into situations where someone’s either naked, tied up, or both. One moment you’re in a kinda wholesome date at a café, the next the same girl is in your room in a tight cosplay outfit, on her knees, drooling on your dick while some soft music loop plays in the background like it’s no big deal. It has that weird mix where romance stuff actually matters, but then she’s moaning while you choke her and call her a slut on the bathroom floor. Normal dating sim vibe completely gone in 2 clicks.

The sandbox part is messy in a good and bad way. You bounce between locations, tap through phone menus, check events at stupidly specific times, try to guess which minigame will finally raise the right stat so the big titty teacher lets you strip her in the lab instead of just “talk”. I liked that I could ignore some girls completely. There was this strict office milf who kept trying to boss me around, pulling that femdom vibe, ordering me to kneel and lick her heels while she barely touches my cock. I just ghosted her and focused on the sweet neighbor who pretends to be innocent but starts riding my face the second you choose the “help her with something at home” option. And then the game goes the other way: a cute shy girl who looks like pure romance material suddenly asks you to slap her harder and spit in her mouth while she’s on all fours in a cosplay outfit, her ass bouncing on your lap. The animations there are surprisingly smooth, with her tits swinging and the camera angle changing right when she starts begging for more. Sometimes it looks great, other times the faces look a bit off and plastic, but not enough to kill the mood, just enough so you notice and swear at your screen for a second.

What got me hooked was how scenes can flip from soft to fucked up without huge buildup. You’re holding a girl in bed, really calm, she falls asleep in your arms, then there’s an option to start rubbing her under the sheets while she mumbles your name and breathes heavy. It’s messed up and hot, and the game knows exactly what it’s doing. There’s a bathroom scene where you and another guy tag team a girl, your cock buried in her mouth while he’s pounding her from behind, her mascara running, tears mixing with spit as she tries to focus on your balls slapping her chin. Later, she’s totally cheerful about it, asking when you’ll “hang out” again like it was just a normal date. And the sexfights stuff is wild too: one girl literally turns sex into a battle of who taps out first, grinding on you until you’re close, then squeezing your balls in revenge when you try to cum inside without asking. Some routes lean more sweet and “vanilla”, just blowjobs on a couch and slow titjobs with whispered dirty talk, some are straight up humiliation: you tied to a chair, cock hard, while she teases you with her big ass and doesn’t let you touch. The wild part is the game never really forces you into one single lane. You kind of build your own mix of romance, corruption, public exposure scenes where you’re finger-fucking a girl in a changing room while people walk outside, and all that forbidden shit the game pretends you’re “saving the city” from, even though you’re clearly part of the problem. It’s a mess. A hot, horny, wrong-feeling mess that somehow works.

Pale Carnations feels like someone took a very proper medical student, stripped out his sense of safety, then tossed him face first into the kind of club you normally only see mentioned in Telegram chats that vanish after a week. You start as this uptight guy who really believes he’s still on a straight path, and then your old friend drags you into the Carnation Club, which is basically a brothel pretending to be an art space. The game doesn’t even try to warm you up slowly. One minute you’re talking about exams, the next you’re standing in a “performance hall” where three women are being judged like twisted idols for how well they take pain, shame and a whole lot of cum. The first night, when you have to guide one of the girls through a show, pushed to choose between making it romantic, cruel, or just filthy efficient, that’s where it clicked for me. This isn’t just porn with clicks. It’s about how far you’re willing to go when everyone keeps telling you it’s normal to choke a girl on stage while rich assholes clap in the dark.

The sound in this thing really surprised me. Not “triple A” surprised, more like “why does this muffled moan in the background feel more real than the entire Spotify sexy playlist I’ve got”. There’s this scene where you’re backstage with an older woman who clearly knows the club better than you ever will. She presses your hand to her ass while she quietly instructs you how to handle your “performer”, her voice soft but absolutely in control, and in the distance you hear the audience roar when someone gets spanked hard enough to cry. The track underneath is this slow, slightly dirty lounge loop, a bit off tempo, almost cheap, but it fits so well that I ended up replaying that scene just to hear the way her breathing synced with the bass line. Then later the game swaps to this almost tender piano piece while you’re literally arranging who gets groped on stage and who gets humiliated in private. I liked that a lot. Or maybe I didn’t. It made it harder to pretend this is just mindless fap material when the music keeps whispering “you’re kind of a bastard for choosing the harsher option, you know?” and then rewards you with the wettest, messiest creampie CG three clicks later. The game loves that contrast. Romance on the surface, anal and public bukkake in the back room, ahegao faces in full view while the MC still tells himself he’s a good guy. It’s not subtle, and it’s not trying to be. There’s cheating, masturbation breaks that feel a bit too honest, toys pulled out at the worst possible time, and a lot of rich people treating human bodies like decoration. I wish the little clicking sound on some menu wasn’t so loud, actually, it annoyed me from the start and I kept meaning to change it, then got distracted every single time some milf in heels called me “doctor” and bent over a piece of BDSM furniture like it was a confession booth. Anyway, the club keeps going, the performances get rougher, and your choices keep twisting the knife, mostly in you.

Ryunosuke is that kind of uni grad who feels like he skipped the part where life gives you a main quest. No job, no passion, just this blank “ok, now what?” screen. So he screws off to this fake-Italy place, Stivale, thinking it’s going to be wine, pasta, maybe a summer fling. Instead the first real thing he runs into is a fox-eared swordswoman who looks like she walked out of some horny doujin circle: Serena. Big ass, big tits, armor that protects nothing important, voice that’s way too sweet for the shit she drags you into. She’s basically on a holy mission to punch the country’s corrupt government in the balls, and you, with your totally useless degree, end up as her “strategist” or something. In practice that means one second you’re picking dialog lines to sound cool, the next second you’re watching a monster girl pin him against a ruined fountain and grind on his thigh while he tries to pretend he’s still a virgin gentleman. It doesn’t last long. Obviously.

The funny part is how the game pretends to be a serious fantasy RPG half the time. You’ve got turn based combat with little details that actually matter, like whether you blow your mana on a fire spell or save it because you just know the next fight is going to be some corrupted priestess who spends the first two turns teasing and stripping instead of attacking. Fights are basically foreplay with health bars. A lot of enemies are monster girls, some fully beastly, some just ears and tails, and they do not care about your moral purity. You mess up choices, suddenly Ryunosuke is on his back, armor pieces scattered, getting titfucked by a slime girl who reshapes her chest to wrap around him, all while she milks him so hard he ends up creampying her core. Then in another path, if you play it “heroic”, he holds out, turns the fight around, and you get this slow, romantic vaginal scene with Serena later, where she tries to stay in control and then completely loses it the moment he starts actually moving his hips. The game loves that shift from “I’m teasing you” to “ok fuck me properly right now” and it uses it everywhere: oral scenes where he’s awkwardly licking at first, then she’s grabbing his hair and groping her own tits, begging; anal sex that starts with her acting like it’s just some kinky experiment and ends with her panting like a beast as she leaks and shakes. Sometimes there’s groping in public, under a tavern table, sometimes it’s full group sex in a camp after a hard quest, with everyone swapping positions and someone getting a messy creampie while another girl is busy with masturbation in the corner. There’s cheating too, not spelled out like a moral lesson, just choices where you go “ok, I really shouldn’t” and then do it anyway, and the game quietly remembers for later endings. Some routes end with pregnancy, some with you basically a horny legend surrounded by monster wives, some not so nice. The peeing stuff and the light bdsm show up more as flavor than core, like a fox girl sitting on your face and letting go a bit while she rides, or Serena tying your hands before oral and then totally forgetting you’re supposed to be the one in control. Voice acting is all over the place, in a good way: sometimes cute, sometimes way too raw, those little gasps when the tip slips from pussy to ass by accident and she half-squeals, half-laughs. To get the best out of it, don’t rush scenes, let the teasing play out, actually lose a couple battles on purpose, and when a choice looks like it might ruin the “wholesome” romance, click it anyway and see how much of a mess Stivale can turn into.

Space family trip sounds cute on paper, right? Like some Instagram thing with matching suits and zero gravity hugs. This is not that. Here you start as a regular married guy who just wants to pay the damn mortgage and get his two stepdaughters through college, and suddenly you’re stuck on a paid “social experiment” in space where everyone around you gets their memories deleted… except you. So they wake up in this high-tech station, no clue who you are, who they are to you, nothing. You still remember every family dinner, every birthday, every time they called you dad. And then the game just looks at you and basically asks: are you going to be a good man, or are you going to be a complete fucking monster?

What makes it feel nasty in a good way is how normal everything looks at first. Clean corridors, organized rooms, your wife chatting, the girls wandering around in their little sci-fi outfits, curious and clueless. You talk to them and they treat you like some random stranger, and that hits harder than any porn setup. There is this one early scene where the younger stepdaughter is just sitting by a big window, staring out at the planet, and you can either comfort her like a worried dad or slide into this slow corruption path, touching just a bit too long, saying just a bit too much. Game doesn’t scream at you that it’s “evil”, it just lets you do it and quietly keeps track. Of course, if you push it, you get the heavy stuff: cheating on your wife while she’s right there in the same station, NTR stuff where other guys start sniffing around your girls if you play too soft, breeding content if you go full degenerate and start knocking people up. Sometimes the camera hangs just a second longer on a stare, or on a hand on a hip, and it’s more erotic than the full-on sex scene that comes after. Or it’s just my brain being cooked, could be that too.

The sci-fi part is not just wallpaper either. You got weird labs where they test “compatibility”, voyeur points where you watch what the others are doing in the showers or private cabins, exhibition stuff where your stepdaughter is walking around half naked in some gravity adjustment test and doesn’t understand why the crew is drooling over her. There is this one voyeur scene where your wife thinks she’s single again and flirts with some tall alien-looking dude, and the game lets you decide if you just watch, interfere, or let it slide into full-on NTR and then pretend later you “didn’t see”. And the animations are dirty in a very physical way: skin-on-skin, rough BDSM sessions with cuffs and collars in a sterile white room, interracial gangbang in a research bay like it’s just another experiment. The whole thing feels like a long bad decision tree from an old choose-your-own-adventure book, except every “turn to page 78” is basically “do you keep your morals or do you fuck your whole family’s life up in the horniest way possible”. It’s gross, it’s hot, it makes you pause on the save screen way too often, and then you still click the worst option.
