Campus during the day looks normal in this game, almost boring. Bunch of stressed students, coffee smell, lectures, cheap posters on the walls. But the whole thing is built like a calm mask over something really fucked up, and that part is what hooked me. You play this last year psych student, quiet guy, polite face, the type who always has notes in order and never raises his voice. But inside his head it’s just cold calculation. He watches people like lab rats. Friends, classmates, even his own family at home. He listens, gives them emotional support, nods like he really cares… while he is testing how far he can push them, twist them, get them to show the dirtiest parts of themselves. Half the time I forgot it’s supposed to be “romance” because it feels more like you are running social experiments in a horny asylum where nobody knows they are patients.

The voyeur stuff is not subtle. You are always checking who is alone in the shower, who left their door half open, who cries in the bathroom between classes. There is this one scene where your “sister” comes home late, pissed off and drunk, yelling about some asshole guy. You just sit there on the couch, acting like the caring brother, and the game lets you choose if you comfort her like normal, or if you start to lean in, touching her thigh a bit too long, asking very quiet questions about what he did to her. She is half broken, half horny from the drama, and the camera just crawls over her body slowly while she breathes all heavy, deciding if she wants to push you away or let you go further. It feels wrong in a hot way, because you know you are using her pain like a toy. That mix of guilt and arousal, the game is really good with that. And then sometimes it just throws a grinding fetch quest at you out of nowhere, like “go get 5 books from the library or you can’t continue this fucked up emotional incest situation”, which killed the mood so hard I alt-tabbed to check Telegram for no reason.

The sandbox part is weirdly relaxing. You wander around campus, talk to people, choose dialogues, peek at them behind doors, collect little mental notes on who is weak where. One girl freaks out if you talk about her parents, another melts the second someone praises her grades, another one clearly wants to be controlled and treated like a pet. The MC keeps all this in his head, and slowly you unlock more unhinged routes, where “comforting” turns into choking, comforting turns into fucking on a classroom desk after hours, comforting your relative turns into you making her call you something that definitely is not “bro” anymore. There is no bright line where it switches from sweet to abusive, it just slides there, and that makes the sex scenes feel extra dirty. Sometimes the pacing is awful, scenes end just when it gets spicy and you are pushed back to roaming around, but anyway. When the game lets you fully lean into the manipulative bastard role, using all that psychology crap to pull panties down and minds apart, it hits this rare mix of horny and cruel that most other porn games only pretend to have. And the worst part is, the more you break them, the more they cling to you like you are saving them. That shit stayed in my head way longer than the last cumshot.
