The first time I booted this game, I thought it’d just be another lazy resort sim with some cheap fanservice. But then that first morning scene hit - sunlight leaking through the blinds, the air kind of heavy, and one of the staff leaning against the counter like they owned the place. The way they smirked while pretending to take your breakfast order? That’s when I realized it wasn’t trying to be subtle about anything. It’s messy in a way that feels intentional, like the devs knew players would pause just to stare at the little details: the half-buttoned shirt, the awkward silence before someone says something filthy but sweet. And maybe I’m projecting, but there’s a weird tenderness hiding beneath all the teasing. Not everyone will notice it, which makes it even better somehow.

I’ll admit, the sandbox part confused me at first. One minute you’re managing room upgrades, the next you’re being dragged into a “staff meeting” that turns into something else entirely. It’s funny how the game pretends to care about finances when all you really want is to see who breaks character first. The dialogue sometimes feels like it was written by someone drunk on their own fantasies - but that’s part of the charm. There’s this one event where you’re supposed to discipline an employee for slacking off, and instead it spirals into a slow, deliberate exchange that’s equal parts punishment and confession. I hated how long it took to trigger that scene, then immediately replayed it twice. The art’s inconsistent, sure, but when the lighting hits right during those late-night sequences, it’s almost too intimate. Like you shouldn’t be watching, but you can’t look away.

And yeah, maybe the pacing drags when you’re grinding for upgrades, but then again, the quiet moments between chaos feel like catching your breath after a kiss that went too far. It’s not perfect. It’s not even pretending to be. But it’s got that strange pulse - half-romance, half-bad-decision - that keeps looping in your head long after the screen fades black.

Jake comes crawling back home with his life completely fucked, and the house basically looks at him like “oh, you thought you were done with us?” The place is out on the edge of nowhere, quiet in that wrong way, where the shadows feel like they’re paying attention. His “family” is there, but they’re not really how he remembers them. The milf who used to worry if he wore a scarf outside is suddenly dressing like she knows exactly how her tits bounce when she leans over his bed. The cute sister-type who used to steal his hoodies now “forgets” to wear pants in the hallway. Everybody’s acting normal and absolutely not normal at the same time. They smile too long. They touch him too casually. They say things that sound caring and then twist right at the end and feel like a threat. Or a promise. Hard to tell with a hard-on.

What makes it hit different is how the erotic stuff is tangled into the horror, not on top of it. One moment Jake is staring at a door that keeps closing itself, hearing breathing on the other side. The next he’s in the bathroom, and the milf is in there already, towel slipping, water dripping down those ridiculous heavy tits, and she just watches him watch her. No “oops, I didn’t hear you come in.” Just silent eye contact and the smallest smirk, like she’s waiting for him to break first. Then later you find out she’s hiding something way worse than a horny mood. A phone he didn’t know she had. Recordings she shouldn’t have. Angry texts from some unknown number that knows exactly where he sleeps and who he’s been touching. There’s blackmail threads crawling through the whole house, everybody has dirt on everybody, and the game likes to tease you with “ok, you can say no here” right when your cock is already screaming yes. And if you push into the more fucked up paths, the netorare and corruption bits hit pretty heavy. Watching the girl you’ve been quietly obsessing over get bent open by something not exactly human, eyes rolled back in full ahegao while you’re forced to watch or even help, is the kind of scene that stays in your head when you’re trying to scroll Twitter later and pretend you’re normal. Some of the supernatural stuff really leans into that: hands that look like yours touching her first, voices in her ear that sound like you telling her to open wider, a futanari “relative” that suddenly shows up in certain branches with a cock that absolutely ruins whoever she gets her hands on. There is one scene where you’re sneaking through the hall at night and catch the milf on all fours in front of a door that should be locked, getting railed by something you can barely see, and when she looks back, her face is half hers, half something else, drool and tears and total sex-drunk ahegao, and she still whispers your name instead of the monster’s. That shit is messed up and hot at the same time, which feels illegal but here we are.

What I kinda love and kinda hate is how petty some of the choices feel. You’re thinking “ok, I’m going to solve this paranormal mystery” and then the game hits you with “do you peek at her showering again or not?” and it actually matters. You ignore her once and later she is cold as ice, you peek too often and the whole vibe becomes exhibitionist on purpose, like she starts leaving doors open just to see how far she can break you. There are lesbian scenes that show up only if you screw up a relationship so badly that the girls stop giving themselves to you and start fucking each other instead, and it lands more like a punishment than a reward. Kind of hurts in that good ntr way, like the game is laughing in your face, telling you “yeah, you had your chance.” The blackmail routes get properly nasty: one of my favorite messed up bits was finding a hidden folder on a laptop, opening a video and realizing it’s your girl being fucked while she keeps saying she’s only doing this so “he doesn’t leak the stuff about you.” Not sure if it’s more horny or humiliating, but I clicked replay like five times anyway. And then some endings flip everything, turning you from scared loser to the actual corrupt thing lurking in the house, twisting the women, parading them half-naked in the living room while anyone or anything can watch. I kept telling myself “ok, that’s too far” while still picking the dirtiest choice every time. My only real complaint is stupid: sometimes a text box covers the exact part of the animation I’m staring at, and it pisses me off more than the ghost stuff. I adjust the window, I click ahead too fast, I miss a line, then I have to backscroll like an idiot. Still, when the game hits one of those perfect horror-sex combos, like hearing scratching on the walls while the milf rides you so hard her tits slap against her chest and the light flickers and something is definitely watching from the corner, all that annoyance just sort of melts into “ok, one more scene, then I stop.” Which is a lie, obviously.

This merchant simulator hits different when you realize the "trade goods" include way more than spices and silk. Valencia's got this weird energy where everyone's horny and politically charged at the same time - like walking into a brothel during election season. Your shopkeeper protagonist isn't just counting coins, he's navigating a web of futa merchants, trans nobles, and regular folks who all want something from his... inventory.

The political angle actually works here because selling weapons to rebels while also supplying the crown creates this constant tension that bleeds into every interaction. One minute you're haggling over sword prices with some gruff captain, next minute she's bent over your counter asking for a "personal discount." The AI-generated dialogue can be janky as hell sometimes - characters will switch from discussing trade routes to propositioning you mid-sentence like they're having a stroke. But honestly? That unpredictability keeps things interesting when you're trying to figure out which faction leader wants to fuck you versus which one wants to fuck you over.

Multiple endings mean your choices actually matter, though some paths feel rushed compared to others. The futa content is surprisingly well-integrated - not just tacked on fetish fuel but actual characters with motivations beyond having dicks. There's this one storyline with a trans guild leader that starts as pure business negotiation and evolves into something genuinely compelling, even if the sex scenes feel a bit mechanical. Valencia itself becomes almost like another character - this living, breathing city where your reputation shifts based on who you're literally and figuratively screwing. The fantasy setting lets them get away with some wild political scenarios that would be impossible in a modern context, and the 2D art style keeps everything feeling cohesive even when the writing gets messy.

Kat’s life is a total mess in the most fun way. One minute she is half naked on stream with cat ears on, milking subs while pretending to “struggle” with some puzzle game, the next she is in a real classroom solving math problems faster than the teacher. Same girl, same big ass stuffed into a way too tight skirt, completely different masks. The game throws you right into that chaos. You are basically riding shotgun in her head while she flips between being the shy nerdy student, the thirsty gamer girl who loves when chat spams emotes, and the bratty little slut who knows exactly how to use her body to get what she wants. It is not subtle. She flashes tits on camera, teases her stepmom in the kitchen while pretending nothing is happening, then goes to campus like her pussy wasn’t just dripping on a gaming chair. Also I swear whoever modeled her boobs is a pervert, they bounce even when she just breathes. That’s praise by the way. Mostly.

The school stuff hits different than usual porn VN trash. You are doing these light puzzle moments and math mini bits while she is literally texting two people she is fucking at the same time. Girlfriend asking if she can come over and “study,” professor sending a voice message about “private tutoring.” You know exactly what kind of oral exam is coming and you still click it. There is this classroom scene where she solves a problem at the board, chalk dust on her fingers, skirt riding up, and you can feel the prof staring at her ass. Later he has her on that same desk, panties around one ankle, hand clamped on the back of her neck while he buries her face in the notebook she used earlier. Creampie on the page with all the equations. Real high level education. And the voice acting helps too. Kat moans through her teeth when she tries to stay quiet, girlfriend’s voice goes all soft when she slides down between Kat’s legs, the stepmom has this deep, lazy “I own you” tone that will probably ruin some people forever. Sometimes the moans sound a bit too clean, like recorded in a padded room, and it pulls you out for a second, but then you get a wet choking sound during a blowjob and forget what you were annoyed about.

What really sticks is how filthy the house feels without actually being dirty. Kitchen looks normal, but you know the stepmom has fucked her there. There is this voyeur moment where Kat sneaks to the door, watches her stepmom stroke herself on the couch, fat cock in her hand, phone in the other, and you can see Kat bite her lip, fingers already under her shorts. The game loves exhibitionism too. She does a cosplay stream in a “safe” school uniform, then slowly unbuttons it while reading dumb messages from chat. At one point she “accidentally” sets the camera a bit too low and you get that perfect under table view while she gives a secret handjob off screen. Only it is not off screen for you. And then you get lesbian scenes with the girlfriend that are full on soft and romantic until Kat just grabs her head and rides her face like she is farming XP. Then later she calls her the “good girl” and you remember that Kat is not actually the victim here, she is the one juggling everyone. The pacing is weird sometimes, it jumps from goofy humor to incest tension to futa domination in a few clicks, like someone flicking TV channels with one hand while masturbating with the other, but that kind of fits. This is exactly the sort of game where a girl solves a math puzzle, sucks a cock as reward, then wipes her mouth and goes back to streaming like nothing happened. And I still hate the tiny mouse cursor in the main menu for some reason, it looks like it belongs in Windows 98, but yeah, anyway.
