There’s something weird about how this one feels - the way it takes the whole Ben 10 universe and just throws shame out the window. You play as Albedo pretending to be Ben, which already sets the tone: lying, manipulating, and then somehow turning all that twisted energy into desire. The training part doesn’t even feel like “training,” not in the academic sense. It’s more like emotional blackmail mixed with light teasing until Gwen starts giving you that look that says she knows exactly what’s happening but pretends she doesn’t. Then there’s Charmcaster, who might actually be the only one having fun, because her lines feel improvised, almost too human - like she knows this is a parody and wants to out-parody it. The combat moments interrupt everything, yet somehow make it hotter? I don’t even know why. Turn-based fighting shouldn’t feel erotic, but the tension between attacks does something unusual when paired with the dialogue.

What threw me off was Julie - she arrives later than expected, acts innocent, then immediately flips the tone with these ridiculously detailed animations that linger longer than they should. There’s a sleep scene that made me pause for a bit, not out of guilt but because it’s so quiet, like the game itself is holding its breath. You can mess up interactions too, which I did on purpose the second time, just to see if Gwen would still act smug after losing trust points. She didn’t. She broke character completely, started being sweet. It was confusing and kind of perfect. Also, whoever wrote the Rook sequences either hates men in uniform or secretly loves them too much - it’s hard to tell.

I wish the sound effects weren’t so clean; they’re too precise, like digital slaps trying to mimic skin. Still, it’s absurdly addictive, the way every lewd moment doubles as a power fantasy. I kept switching between saving the world and ruining it because both options felt right. Maybe that’s the point, or maybe the devs just forgot to pick a tone. Doesn’t matter. I’ll keep opening it “just to test something.” Always end up back at the same scene anyway.
