Phone Story looks harmless when it loads, like one of those cheap mobile chat sims you open on Chrome while pretending to check Slack. It is not harmless. It is that slow, nasty itch in the back of your head if you like watching “what if my girl had someone else in her DMs” kind of stuff. You play the husband who goes away, but honestly the main character is Lisa’s damn phone. Half the game is you reading her messages and deciding how much rope you want to give her, then pulling it back too late. You don’t click through some porn slideshow and right into “she’s on a couch with a giant dick in her.” The game takes its time. First it’s just flirty texts, a photo with “is this too much?” kind of teasing, her asking your opinion, your “friend” dropping those little comments that sound harmless until you reread them in incognito at work and realize you’re basically writing your own cuck script.

The pacing is weirdly strong for a messy hentai VN. Sometimes one choice just makes her send a slightly spicier selfie, sometimes it jumps right into a scene where she’s on video call, touching herself, trying to convince you it’s “for you” while that friend’s name keeps popping at the top of the screen. Classic anime-wife look, soft face, kinda innocent expression, but you can watch the corruption slide in bit by bit. She starts dressing more revealing, talking about “just hanging out” with him, a little wine, harmless cuddling, totally not cheating, right? Sure. Then you get those AI-looking CGs where she’s on her knees, lips glossy, your friend’s bbc in front of her mouth, and she’s still typing some sweet romantic bullshit to you with the other hand. The game loves making you stare at chat bubbles while she’s getting filled somewhere offscreen or in a small mirrored reflection. Proper voyeurism energy. The actual sex scenes hit all the usual spots, vaginal, anal, her pinned to a table, riding, messy facials, the whole thing, but the part that sticks is when she looks happy and guilty at the same time and you know it’s half for you and half for herself. Sometimes the writing slips and a line sounds like it came out of Google Translate, but honestly that kinda fits the vibe. On Android Chrome the text boxes get too big and cover half the art, which annoys the hell out of me, and if you tap too fast you skip a good line and there’s no quick log button right in your face, you have to dig for it. Also one route feels like it jumps from “maybe I’ll flirt” to “raw creampie from your buddy” in like two clicks, like the dev got horny and forgot the slow burn. Still, if you’re into netorare or softer netorase stuff, that moment when you tell her “yeah, explore a bit, just don’t forget me” and later you’re literally watching her try anal for the first time with someone else because you told her it’s fine, that hits way harder than it has any right to. And yeah, sometimes you tell her to stay faithful and the game almost seems annoyed, like “are you sure you don’t want to watch?” but then it gives you these surprisingly sweet romantic scenes where she masturbates with the phone propped up, moaning your name while she’s already mentally halfway to the neighbor’s bedroom. Not subtle at all, but that’s kind of the point.

It’s one of those games that pretends to be a soft, warm slice-of-life thing and then suddenly you’re in the middle of something that feels way too personal. The catgirl moves like she knows you’re staring - those little idle animations where she adjusts her top or flicks her tail, they get under your skin. You think it’s just another anime-style “simulator,” but no, the rhythm of it pulls you into this weird trance. There’s an AI-driven bit with her reactions, and sometimes she blushes at the wrong time, and that glitchy timing makes it hotter somehow. Like she’s trying to hide how much she wants it but the code betrays her.

The story pretends to care about unemployment and government programs, but nobody’s here for paperwork roleplay. There’s that moment - when you wake up, half-naked, and she’s hovering over you, ears twitching - and the dialogue stutters between sweet and filthy so fast it actually feels real. I swear the sound design deserves more credit; you can hear her breathing change when you choose the rougher response. The titfuck scene (yeah, that one) has this odd rhythm mismatch between animation loops, but your brain fills the gaps. And I hate that I noticed the lighting bug in the corner while also completely ignoring it because - well, priorities.

And yeah, maybe the game tries too hard to balance “romance” with raw lust. It doesn’t need to. When it leans into the messy stuff - her mewling during oral, the wet slap of skin when you’re losing control - it stops pretending to be polite. That’s when it works. That’s when it stops being a simulator and starts being something embarrassingly intimate. Still, I wish they’d fix the text speed option; it skips lines right before the creampie animation sometimes. But whatever. You’ll forget that quick enough once she looks up, cum dripping from her chin, eyes wide and empty-bright. Dare to play it alone, or invite company?

You start with this half-dead hotel that looks like it smells of cheap cleaner and old sex, and somehow it becomes this weird little universe where every floor has a different flavor of horny drama. It looks like a normal dating sim at first, like “oh yeah, I’ll just talk to the girls, raise some stats, classic stuff”, and then three scenes later you’re holding a trembling elf maid by the hips while she tries to act all proper and obedient and ends up squirting all over the new bedsheets you saved up to buy. And you’re thinking: ok, I just wanted romance, why is there a menu option for nipple clothespins in the housekeeping budget. But you still click it.

The hotel thing works too well. Everyone is under your roof, so you bump into them doing absolutely everything. You go into a hallway thinking you’re just going to check repairs, and you catch one girl “cleaning” a window with her tits pressed against the glass, tongue out, full ahegao, while someone down in the street could totally see her. It counts as voyeur and exhib stuff at the same time and the game doesn’t even wink at you, it just lets it happen, like yeah, this is just Tuesday here. You can be the pure romance guy and still the world keeps trying to corrupt you. There’s a religious girl praying in one scene, acting shy like a virgin, and later you’re there timing her orgasm denial with your phone while she begs for just one more thrust and you’re like, ok, maybe I’m not “pure” anymore. I kept telling myself I’m avoiding the nastier paths, and two minutes later I’m watching a lactation event where I was only trying to give comfort and suddenly there’s warm milk and a helpless girl calling you “master” in this shaky voice. Total accident. Kind of.

What really got me is how your role shifts without a big “you are a trainer now” sign. One moment you’re like a soft-spoken manager who buys cute maid outfits and simple cosplay ears, the next you’re running what is basically a private bdsm spa on the top floor, where you decide who gets the collar and who just gets spanked until their ass is bright red and they can’t sit in the café. Some girls push you around too, it’s not just male dom. There’s a yandere type that goes from clingy to “if you fuck anyone else I’ll break their legs” energy, and she rides you so hard you legit feel like the slave instead of the trainer. Then later the same night another girl kneels down in the lobby and gives you a slow, careful blowjob like it’s a love letter, and you remember why you came here for romance at all. But then there’s some fucked up family route on the side, anal stuff mixed with “we shouldn’t do this” whispers, a footjob in the laundry room, a titfuck in the elevator when the doors keep almost opening, group sex in a suite where everyone’s moaning your name at once, and somewhere in the middle of that mess you’re still checking income stats on your phone and thinking about upgrade costs like an idiot. The hotel keeps growing, the harem keeps getting bigger, some girls get their breasts reduced while others suddenly swell up like a fantasy elf breeding project, and you’re walking around your own building knowing exactly which room has a girl quietly masturbating, which one hides a camera for your voyeur habit, and which bed has fresh cum drying in the sheets because you didn’t even bother with pulling out after that last creampie. It’s romantic in the trashiest way, and trashy in a way that somehow still feels kind of sweet.

It starts like one of those days where everything’s supposed to be normal, but the moment you see Marge bending over the laundry basket, or Edna leaning too close over the desk, you already know you’re screwed. The whole town feels like it’s holding its breath, waiting for something filthy to happen, and it always does. You play this young troublemaker who’s got more hormones than sense, and the game doesn’t even pretend to be subtle about it. Every scene feels like you’re peeking behind a curtain you weren’t supposed to touch - spying through keyholes, catching Lisa doing something she really shouldn’t, getting caught yourself and somehow turning that into another perverted opportunity. It’s messy, animated in that weirdly familiar way that makes you both nostalgic and guilty at once.

There’s this thing the game does where it makes you think you’re in control, like your choices matter, but then you end up blackmailing someone without even realizing how you got there. One second you’re joking around, next you’re groping Luann in her kitchen while she pretends to resist but totally doesn’t. The writing isn’t clean - sometimes the dialogue jumps, sometimes it’s awkward - but that’s kind of what makes it hot. It feels like you’re reading a dirty fanfic written by someone who actually grew up watching these characters and decided to finally make their fantasies real. The moaning sounds are ridiculous, over the top, but they work. And when the creampie scenes hit, they hit.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy the voyeurism parts so much. Watching Marge cheat, or Edna lose control in the school bathroom, there’s something raw there, like you’re seeing people you shouldn’t see in moments that were never meant to be shared. The cheating theme runs deep - everyone’s fucking someone else, and somehow it all loops back to you. It’s chaotic, wrong, hilarious, and way too addictive for what it is. You’ll probably feel dirty after playing, but you’ll still reload it the next day just to see what happens if you push the boundaries a little further.
