This thing starts like one of those harmless school slice-of-life stories, except it never feels harmless. You’re this dude walking the halls, joking with classmates, peeking at asses in too-tight skirts, pretending everything’s normal while the game keeps whispering that nothing is. On the surface you’re just chasing romance routes and big tits, trying to figure out which milf teacher you wanna risk your future for, which childhood friend you’ll accidentally corrupt, which guy you’ll piss off enough that he starts eyeing your girl. Then it hits you that every flirt, every little “harmless” grope in the hallway, every blowjob in the music room is getting tracked, twisted, fed back into this mess of morality and mind games. One minute you’re laughing at some dumb humor scene where your buddy makes a joke about your porn folder, next minute you’re watching a scene of brutal violence and you’re not sure if you caused it or just failed to stop it.

What really got me is how your choices feel fine in the moment. You see a big ass bending over a desk and you click the option to touch. Simple. She blushes, maybe moans, maybe slaps you, sometimes both. Then three scenes later she’s crying about how nobody respects her, and the game doesn’t tell you “this is your fault,” but you know anyway. Same with the whole NTR / netorase thing. At first it’s kind of hot, letting another guy or futa girl “help out” your partner, just sharing for fun because you think you’re in control. The group scenes are wild, by the way, especially when the camera lingers just a bit too long and you catch your own character watching instead of acting. Voyeur mode inside the story itself. But little by little, jealousy starts to bleed into it. There’s this one route where you push your girl toward another guy as a joke, like “go flirt with him, I don’t mind,” and way later you catch them in a quiet corner, his hand already under her skirt, her breathing way too heavy to pretend. You can interrupt, dominate, turn it into a threesome, whatever, but that sick “maybe I went too far” feeling doesn’t really go away.

Sex scenes are not shy at all. Virgin loss with awkward eye contact, messy creampies where you’re not totally sure if it was consensual or just pressured, titfucks on the school rooftop while the city burns somewhere in the distance, rough oral that slips into domination, then flips and she chokes you right back with that sudden female domination switch. There’s drugs, too, and that’s where things get weird in a different way. Some of the best animated scenes come from those mind control bits, where you honestly can’t tell if the girl wants it or your character is just rewriting her brain to want it. The game doesn’t clean it up for you. No “safe word,” no soft fade out. You’re the one clicking “continue” while she begs you to stop and also not to stop. But then you have these strange quiet romance scenes with actual warmth, like holding hands in a classroom while talking about family you really, really shouldn’t be this close to, or lying naked beside someone after fucking them raw and talking about sanity and what’s real. Sometimes it even feels wholesome before it throws another cheating scene at you completely out of nowhere. I kind of hate that. And I kind of went back to see every single ending anyway.

This one starts like some sad wage slave fantasy, but it actually hits harder than I expected. You die like an idiot at a traffic light and then wake up in this magic world with a body that isn’t falling apart from stress and coffee, a weirdly wholesome adopted family, and a job as a low-rank adventurer who is way too in love with an A-rank witch. Mia is the “cold bitch who melts” type, yeah, but the game gives her just enough little human moments that I kinda ended up fighting with the dev in my head: no, she belongs with me, not with every bastard in the guild. She snaps at you, she blushes, she does that smug little half smile when she’s clearly teasing and pretending she doesn’t care. There’s this scene where she cleans monster guts off you with magic and then, completely straight face, wipes a little bit with her fingers and licks it, like she’s testing potion ingredients. It’s not sexy at first. Then she looks at you, tongue still out, and you go “ah ok, we’re doing this.” I hated how much I liked that.

What I love and kinda hate is how the game keeps playing chicken with you about “trusting” her. The romance parts are really sweet and honestly a bit cringe in that way only fantasy VN can be. Hand-holding under the cloak, lazy cuddling in the inn, her one time letting you use her thighs as pillow while she reads a grimoire and pretends you’re not basically nuzzling her ass. That part feels almost like a normal lovey game. She gives you a handjob with this super serious face while talking about spell formations, like she’s doing lab work, then at the end she breaks and giggles when you cum on her wrist. Then some chapters later, the same hand is wrapped around another guy’s cock and she has this dazed look, and the camera lingers on her fingers like it remembers before you do. I wanted to close the game at that part and also replay it immediately. The netorase pieces are sneaky too. It starts with “haha what if we just showed a bit of skin in the tavern to scam free drinks” and ends with you pretending you’re ok while she gives an under-the-table footjob to some drunk knight right in front of you. You still get the text choices like you’re in control, but both answers are hurt. Classic. I swear one of the most evil things was a simple kissing scene. You finally get a proper kiss on the bridge at night, she’s shaking, you can feel she really wants you. Then, much later, that same bridge shows up again and she stands there with another man, laughing too loudly, her lipstick slightly smeared. No explicit sex there, just the echo of that kiss, and it hit harder than any creampie CG.

The game doesn’t stick to only one flavor of pain either. There is full-on cheating, yeah, like watching her kneel and swallow another dude’s load while the narration insists she’s thinking of you, and you know she isn’t. The sleep sex scene pissed me off in a good way. You go to bed exhausted and wake up to her riding you slowly, whispering that she “couldn’t hold back anymore” which would be cute if there wasn’t already this hint that she’d been warmed up earlier by someone else. Small detail: the wet sound isn’t quite right the first thrust and your brain goes “why is she this ready” and then shuts up because tits. There’s anal too, but honestly it’s less about you being dominant and more about you realizing she already learned to relax for someone before you. The game throws in some female domination moments where she cuffs you with magic and edges you with her mouth, then the next scene flips it and you’re the one pinning her to the wall and making her beg to be filled. I liked that power shift, though I wish she had kept the little witch hat on during that oral scene and she just doesn’t and I’m still annoyed about it for no sane reason. Also, furry side characters show up and of course they get scenes that are way hotter than they have any right to be, especially one smug fox girl who makes fun of you while jerking you off with her tail, like this is normal Tuesday. There’s humor all over, sometimes dumb, sometimes actually good, like your party member making NTR jokes inside the story as if he knows what kind of VN he lives in. I forgot to mention that one whole dungeon arc is basically designed just to humiliate you in public with exhibitionism stuff, where Mia pretends to be under mind control and “forced” to show off her body to a crowd, except the more they look the wetter she gets. The AI-style CG gives everything this weird almost-too-perfect face that becomes creepy when she’s moaning for someone else. It’s messy, horny, petty, and yeah, I’m still arguing in my head that Mia is better as my girl, even while watching her get pounded from behind and still calling my name at the wrong moment.

This one feels like someone took a marriage counseling session, set it on fire, and then kept all the sex parts. You’re not playing some generic harem hero here, you’re the husband who keeps smiling while his stomach slowly knots up, watching his “perfect” wife get more and more curious about things that definitely weren’t in the church vows. The game doesn’t rush it. At first it’s just small stuff: lingering stares from guys with way too much confidence, “innocent” touches that go on one second too long, her laughing a bit too hard at some other dude’s joke. The humiliation is soft at the start, like background noise: a hand on her lower back, a “friendly” hug, the way you stand there pretending this is all fine while your brain screams. Then it escalates. Of course it does.

As an accessibility nerd, this VN made me swear at my screen more than once. Ren’Py can give pretty basic comfort tools, but here half of them feel like afterthought. Text size is okay, not great. On my Steam Deck I had to lean in to read some dialogue because the color contrast with certain backgrounds is trash. The settings are there, but it’s like the dev just dropped the default menu and went “yeah, good enough.” No simple high contrast mode, no bold option, skip settings a bit clumsy. Keyboard navigation technically works, but if you’re used to stuff like Twine projects that respect your tab key, this will annoy you. I spent like ten minutes trying to use just keyboard and finally said screw it and grabbed the mouse. On mobile Chrome, pinching to zoom is clunky with the UI frames. Also, who puts tiny tooltips on a porn game? I’m not here to squint at icons wondering what they do. On the other hand, the choice prompts are pretty clear visually, and at least the text is not super thin or weird fancy font. Very middle ground. Like they almost care about accessibility, then got horny and forgot.

Anyway, the actual meat of the story is all about NTR and corruption, and the game is not shy. If you’re one of those people who likes “soft NTR where nothing truly happens,” this is not that. The wife doesn’t just flirt; she slides into this world where monsters, “friends,” strangers, and guys who look like they walked out of a gym fetish subreddit all get their turn testing how far her halo can slip. There are big asses everywhere, and the art is honest about it. No delicate shy cheeks, more like “holy shit, that thing is a shelf” while hands grab and squeeze and spread. The monsters scenes are extra filthy because the dev really leans into the wrongness: size difference, claws on skin, that “I know I should stop but I can’t” face. Interracial stuff is front and center too, and the game really plays on that tension: the husband watching tall, hung guys claim what he thought was “his,” and he tries to cope like it’s one of those netorase fantasies where he’s in on it. Except he’s clearly not. He’s sweating, overthinking, pretending this is “for her pleasure” while the scenes are framed just enough to make you feel his fear of being replaced. Sometimes she asks him what he thinks, and the choices don’t let you magically stop the NTR. You just pick what flavor of helpless you want. It’s nasty, in the good way if your stomach likes that tight, sick, horny mix. Groping is constant: crowded tavern, carriage rides, “accidental” touches that become a full-on hand under her clothes. She resists less each time, and that slide into corruption feels believable, almost scary, like watching a friend you know slowly choose the worst option every time.

Playing it like a therapist is weirdly satisfying. You watch this dude rationalize his own cuckold fantasy into existence, then lose control of it. The UI could make that experience smoother for people with low vision or motor issues, but here we are. If you want to squeeze every filthy drop out of it, I suggest this: turn auto-forward on, slow it down a bit so you’re forced to sit with his pain, not just click through to the money shots; avoid skipping scenes, even if they feel “slow”; and when the wife starts enjoying other hands a little too much, don’t try to look away. Let the shame soak. That’s the whole point.

Confessions in the Dark feels like reading that one horny late night Discord confession that got way too real and then somehow turned into a whole story. You’re the husband here, not some faceless blank guy, with this dirty little obsession crawling in your head: you want to see your own wife get fucked by someone else. Not just “oh haha, fantasy,” but that real thing where your brain is screaming no and your dick is saying yes, louder. The game doesn’t rush you into gangbang fireworks in the first click. It kind of lets the idea rot and bloom in your head at the same time, like when you rewatch that one Pornhub video you swear you’re not into, then keep searching the same tags anyway. It’s a kinetic novel, so you’re not juggling stats or grinding money on some fake job, just following this guy’s spiral while the story pokes your weak spots. The AI CGs are weirdly perfect for this too, because half of them look like those cursed but hot pics you save from Twitter and never admit. His wife has these massive tits that just sit there in every scene like a problem, always framed too nicely, like the game is saying “you sure you wanna share this?” and you already know the answer is yes and no.

The hotter part for me isn’t when she’s actually getting fucked, it’s the build-up. Those tiny moments where they talk about it like it’s just some “theoretical” fantasy while both of them are obviously dripping inside. She starts teasing with texts, with outfits you know aren’t just for you, late-night chats that maybe go too long with some “friend,” and the story pretends “it’s just exploring” at first. At one point he’s lying in bed doomscrolling Pornhub and Reddit, looking at couples who actually do it, and you can almost smell that mix of guilt and raw curiosity. It felt way too real. Then later there’s this scene where she comes home, perfume heavier than usual, lipstick a little fucked up, and nothing explicit is said, just this weird silence between them while he tries to act normal. That gap is nastier than any creampie shot, and yeah those are here too, very in your face, but the real corruption is between their words. One moment he’s proud of her for “being open” and the next second he’s jerking off in the bathroom, half crying, half moaning, replaying the mental image of another guy pushing into her. The game calls it romance sometimes, which is almost funny, because it is romantic, in this fucked up way where love and jealousy and cheating get mixed together like some cheap cocktail that still gets you drunk. I caught myself rooting for him to hurt and to enjoy it at the same time. It feels less like a power fantasy and more like letting a fantasy chew on you until you don’t know if you want to close your eyes or watch every single thrust going into your wife’s soaked pussy, dripping out on someone else’s cock while you sit in the dark and pretend you’re totally fine with it.
