Temptation’s Ballad feels like someone took a horny D&D session, removed the shy players, pumped the bard full of slutty energy and then forgot to write a safe word. You start in this medieval fantasy city that pretends to be serious with demons and noble houses and gods and whatever, but the game is very honest about what actually matters: who you’re going to fuck, how badly you’re going to mess up your party’s reputation, and how much property damage your dick (or tits) indirectly causes. It calls itself “fairly linear” but it doesn’t feel stiff. More like a drunk march in one direction where you keep getting distracted by a hot ass in the alley, some half‑clothed monster girl in a tavern, or a noble milf who really needs “help” with her magic circle. One moment you’re trying to act like a real hero, the next you’re getting your face sat on by a smug futa demon who treats you like her favorite chew toy. The story leans on the classic trio of idiots party setup: disaster gay, smug bastard, and something in between that definitely should not be trusted around potions. Their banter is half the fun, because they talk like actual horny people who overshare, tease, flirt too hard, then pretend it was “just a joke” while obviously staring at each other’s bulges. There’s real romance in there, surprisingly soft sometimes, and the game just throws it next to scenes where someone is getting spanked in a backroom while a voyeur peeks through the cracks. It shouldn’t work together, but it does, like putting lube on holy water.

The erotic tone is really on that line between silly and nasty. You get all the classic stuff: sloppy oral, tits used like they’re religious objects, thick cocks that clearly don’t follow standard fantasy anatomy rules, creampies that would absolutely require healing spells after. The city of Axia feels like a sandbox for kinks, even if the main plot is straight like an arrow. You’ll walk into a side scene thinking “okay, just dialogue” and suddenly there is a dommy knight stepping on someone’s chest, or a monster girl wrapping a tail around a guy’s throat while riding him. There’s casual interracial stuff, big black cock jokes thrown in like shitposts, and netorare tension playing in the background when someone’s crush gets a little too cozy with a rival. The game never stops to politely explain corruption or cheating either, it just lets you sit there with that ugly horny feeling in your chest while a character moans another person’s name. Sometimes the pacing is a mess and a really nice emotional beat gets bulldozed by a sex scene with way too much groping and not enough build up, like the writer was afraid to let you breathe. I kinda hate that. I also kinda love it. The soundtrack is the quiet hero here, by the way. Fantasy tavern strings and flutes that slide into slow, bass‑heavy, low‑tempo tracks when clothes start coming off, the kind of music that makes you turn down your volume on Discord because you know exactly what you’re doing. There’s even this one track that loops during a teasing scene where a character keeps grinding on your lap but “won’t let you cum yet” and the rhythm matches the fucking text speed. That little sync made me laugh and then immediately shut up because it actually turned me on. It’s not a classy game. It doesn’t want to be. It’s messy, loud, horny, too obsessed with big boobs and bigger problems, and Axia feels like a place where every summer vacation ends with someone pregnant, corrupted, or tied to a bed. Dare to play it alone, or invite company?

Guy is broke, tired and just trying not to crash, and suddenly every busted pipe and broken dryer in town turns into an excuse to get his dick wet. That’s pretty much the vibe here, and it actually works way better than it sounds. You play this quiet, kinda worn down repair guy, going house to house, pretending to care about appliances while you’re clearly staring at thighs and panties. It’s not some big choice-heavy thing, it’s more like you’re riding shotgun inside his head while he stumbles into one horny situation after another. The story moves in a straight line, but it’s not boring. Scenes have this slow, teasing build: you ring a doorbell, you see the woman, you check the “problem”, and your brain already knows where this is going, but the game still makes you wait for it. There’s a lot of solo tension too, like he’s jerking off after jobs, replaying what just happened, feeling half guilty, half proud. That masturbation stuff isn’t just thrown in, it’s almost like a checkpoint between scenes, like his way of processing all the dirty shit he’s getting into.

What really hit me is how the erotic pacing feels like some porn video you’d half-remember from an old bookmark in your browser, but better framed. It’s animated in this slightly stiff, slightly uncanny way that weirdly adds to the horny atmosphere instead of ruining it. You notice small things, like the way her hips twitch when he “accidentally” brushes her or how her lips part just a little when she leans closer to hear him talk about some loose wire he doesn’t even care about. The 3D look makes skin, underwear and wet spots pop in a very direct way, no artsy filter, just raw, shiny flesh and naughty posing. There are these CG shots that freeze right on the good stuff: her bent over the washing machine, his hand on her ass, or him alone, pants around his ankles, cum hanging from his fingers while he thinks about going back to that client again. Don’t expect tons of deep choices or big branching; you’re basically strapped into his path, watching him crawl from “I just need money” to “I can trade a fix for a blowjob if I play this right” without really being able to stop him. Weirdly, that makes it hotter. You’re complicit, but you’re also just a passenger, and that whole “fuck, I shouldn’t enjoy this that much” energy is everywhere. Best way to enjoy it? Stop clicking so fast, let the scenes play out, and when he pulls his cock out in some random bathroom after a visit, don’t skip it, just sit there and let him finish. That’s where the game really shows what kind of pervert he is.

Mia’s story starts in that quiet, heavy place where everything in a marriage looks fine from the outside, but inside it already smells like something died. She’s got the husband, the home, the routines, the fake “we’re okay” sex where both of them kind of know they’re lying. Nothing dramatic at first, just that slow emotional starvation. You see it in the tiny moments: her staring too long at her phone while he talks about work, her forcing a smile when he kisses her forehead instead of her lips. The game leans into that boredom hard, like it wants you to feel how dry her life is before anything dirty even happens. And then, when a new guy walks in, or a new temptation, or even just someone looking at her like she’s still a woman and not just “the wife,” you already understand why her pulse starts going crazy. It doesn’t excuse shit, but it makes the first flirt hit differently.

What I really liked is how the erotic side doesn’t explode instantly. It creeps. You’re mostly watching Mia’s mind corrupt itself in slow motion. One day she’s just texting someone a bit too late. Next day she’s sending a picture that is technically “safe” but you know she picked that angle because she wanted him to see her curves. Little things. Lingering camera on her thighs while she sits in the car, the way her shirt rides up at home and she doesn’t fix it right away. Her husband sometimes walks in at the worst/best possible moments, like when she’s still wet from some dirty conversation and pretending everything’s normal. There’s no branching choices to save her or be a saint. It’s kinetic, so you’re basically strapped to the backseat, watching her fall and sometimes wishing she’d stop while also loving how far she goes. That voyeur feeling is strong. You’re not the hero, you’re the perv in the dark, enjoying every time she crosses a new line.

Sexually, it gets nasty in a very intimate way. Not just “oh she fucks another guy,” but the emotional cheating too. She starts dressing just a bit more daring when she knows she might see him. You notice when she stops wearing certain underwear with her husband but puts it on before meeting someone else. That hit me more than the actual sex scenes, honestly. When her husband is trying to be sweet and she’s secretly replaying another man’s hands on her body in her head, that’s brutal. And hot. And fucked. The corruption really stands out in how her guilt shifts from “I shouldn’t be doing this” to “I hope he doesn’t find out” to finally “does it even matter if he does.” At some point she’s getting turned on by the risk itself, barely hiding her marks, letting herself smell like sex when she gets home. There’s this one moment where she looks at herself in the mirror after doing something she swore she’d never do, and you can’t even tell if she hates herself or loves what she’s becoming. The game doesn’t hold your hand or explain if she’s right or wrong. It just shows you Mia, a wife who is both broken and selfish and unbelievably horny, letting a new spark burn right through the life she pretends to care about. And you watch, because of course you fucking do.

This ZZZ fan game caught me completely off guard and honestly I'm still processing what the hell I just experienced. Belle's animations are smooth as butter but there's this weird glitch where her boobs clip through her shirt during the titfuck scenes - like come on devs, basic collision detection much? The whole voyeurism angle works surprisingly well though, especially when you're watching Nicole through different camera angles while she's doing her exhibitionist thing around the city.

What really gets me is how they handled the kinetic novel format. Usually these things are just click-to-advance porn but there's actual character development here that doesn't make me want to skip everything. Vaiz starts as this cold calculating dude and gradually opens up through these "gentle coincidences" the description mentions, though honestly some of the dialogue translations feel wonky. Nicole's big ass gets plenty of screen time during the animated sequences and the 3DCG quality is decent enough that I wasn't constantly noticing rendering issues. Belle's scenes hit different when you realize she's actually enjoying the attention rather than just going through motions.

The exhibitionism mechanics let you control how public Nicole gets with her displays and watching her confidence build is genuinely hot. Though I gotta say the voyeurism parts sometimes feel more creepy than sexy depending on your headspace. Game crashed twice on me during the longer animated sequences but reloading fixed it both times. Babmu opening doors is apparently some metaphor for opening yourself to love or whatever but really I'm here for Nicole's bouncing assets and Belle's enthusiastic participation. The city setting gives nice variety for different scenarios and the "bold conversations" actually lead somewhere instead of just being filler between sex scenes. Still buggy as hell but worth dealing with the technical issues.
