Coming back to that shitty little hometown feels weird as hell here. The game drops you right in the middle of it with this guy who has that “I studied abroad and now I’m emotionally fucked” vibe, and everyone kind of knows it even when they pretend they don’t. It is not some epic fantasy, it is boring streets, ugly apartments, cheap phone screens, local bar with bad music. And for me that is where the sex actually hits harder. You’re not a hero, you’re just a horny idiot who said the wrong thing to the wrong girl three years ago and now she looks at you like she wants to slap you and ride you at the same time. There is this one scene where you run into an old classmate, she acts cold as ice at first, and then your dialog choice decides if she keeps that distance or if she starts teasing you about “how much you changed.” I picked the more honest, almost pathetic line, and suddenly her legs are a bit closer to my knee, she’s talking softer, playing with her top. Not porn logic, more like that slow, tense shit that happens in someone’s car behind a supermarket. And then, obviously, it goes full porn anyway, because we are all degenerates here.

What I really liked is that the game pretends to be about “rebuilding your life” but what it actually makes you do is weaponize flirting. Every choice feels a tiny bit loaded, like you are writing your own shameful diary. Answer a text too late, joke in a more cruel way than you meant, try to be a “nice guy” and you might end up completely blueballed while some side character clearly wants you and you keep missing it. At some point I stopped trying to be optimal and just thought “what would my depressed, half-broken self say” and suddenly scenes opened up that felt almost too real. Like you’re lying on a bed, still half dressed, with this girl from your past, and she is talking about why she stays in town while her hand keeps drifting lower. The sex itself is raw, not super artistic, and I kind of love and hate that. Bodies press together, clothes bunch up awkwardly, you get that messy grinding before anyone is naked, you can almost smell the cheap perfume and sweat. One route I picked, she kept edging me, almost mocking me with her fingers while asking about my plans for the future. Philosophy major inside my brain was screaming, because the game basically turns desire into this moral exam. Do you push her, do you back off, do you joke, do you beg. And yeah, I begged, and the scene turned absolutely filthy in a way that felt painfully earned, not just handed out like a cheap Pornhub clip.

The city around all this is like a nervous system of lust and fear that never fully shows itself. People talk about trouble, gangs, shit that might explode later, but it stays mostly in the corners while you make choices that are way more intimate than any gunfight. Sometimes you are just at a shitty cafe with some new girl, and the conversation is half about politics, half about whether she will let your hand stay on her thigh. I opened Twitter mid-play once, then came back and picked the wrong line, and she shut down completely, and I sat there annoyed like it was a real person ghosting me. That is when I realized the game got me. It is not “sexy visual novel with branching paths,” it is more like a horny anxiety simulator where every answer might lead to either a slow, aching kiss or a cold “I should go.” And when it does click, when a character finally leans in and the teasing breaks into full-on fucking, it almost feels like you passed some exam in being vulnerable and dirty at the same time. Honestly, the pacing sometimes drags, some conversations feel like they try too hard to be serious, and I kind of wanted one stupid bimbo that just wants cock with zero backstory, but I also know that would break the whole mood. This game is about how you talk yourself into bed, or out of it, and how that says something really uncomfortable about who you are when nobody is watching. Or everyone is watching. Depends how you play.

It’s messy in a way that feels uncomfortably real, like watching someone make the worst decisions possible and still finding yourself leaning forward, curious where her next excuse will lead. Yumi moves through the story with this almost painful self-awareness - she knows she’s being watched, both by the player and the game’s world, but she never really stops preening for it. The first time she opens her blouse just slightly too far during that office scene, there’s no sound cue, no dramatic pause - just the soft rustle of fabric and that flicker of doubt on her face. I swear, that moment hit harder than any of the explicit stuff later. The game tries to sell corruption as gradual, but honestly, it’s more about how easily she adjusts to attention. Maybe that’s what makes it so believable.

Then again, sometimes it overplays its hand. There’s this one animation loop during a handjob scene where her eyes cross weirdly, and it pulled me straight out of it; felt more comedic than erotic - like a reaction meme frozen mid-spasm. But that’s part of its charm, right? It’s too earnest to be slick. Even the blackmail thread with Thompson manages to feel less like some grand scheme and more like the world’s creepiest HR problem spiraling out of control. Which, depending on your mood, could be hot or just exhausting. And yet, when Yumi whispers something half-hearted before giving in, it lands. Maybe because the voice acting doesn’t try to sound sultry - it sounds confused, nervous, real.

The lighting deserves attention though. Somebody clearly obsessed over skin tone gradients because every sweat bead looks deliberate. The husband scenes are quieter, tender even, though they carry that slow dread of knowing he’s already losing her. I found myself irrationally annoyed by his tie color - gray, always gray - as if that dull choice symbolized everything wrong with him. Maybe that’s reading too much into it. Or maybe the game wanted that reaction. Anyway, it lingers. You finish a session and keep thinking about those tiny hesitations, how desire can look like guilt when the camera holds just a second too long.

You start as this so-called last DragonDong in Skyradia, which sounds dumb at first, but it grows on you, kind of like when you first opened Skyrim and spent 40 minutes just trying to make a hot character and ended up with something cursed. Here you’re already special, already packing, and everyone in this crazy fantasy land somehow knows your bloodline is legendary and your dick is basically a relic. The world feels like some horny version of a big fantasy RPG, where one moment you’re in a mossy ruin scrapping with bandits, and two clicks later you’ve got some proud warrior girl on her knees in a torch-lit hallway, drool on her chin, looking up at you from that nice POV angle like this is her favorite religion. It sounds like bullshit story at first, all “save the bloodline” and “mysterious vanished kin,” but when the game lets you actually choose if you play as a kind of romantic dumbass or total slutty menace, it hits different. One play I tried to be sweet, saying the right things, building affection, letting the scenes come slower. Another time I just picked every horny option, stuck my dick wherever the dialog allowed, and the game still rolled with it.

What I liked is that it doesn’t just throw sex at you for nothing, it makes you work a bit. You’ve got combat that actually matters for how you move through the map. Sometimes you gamble on your skills, sometimes you let the party do the work while you just pretend to be tactical. I had this one fight where my health was low, I screwed up some timing mini game, barely survived, then got rewarded later with a campfire scene where the healer chick, who had been super cold before, finally cracked and let me take her virgin pussy slow. The camera sticks close, like proper POV, her breathing changes between lines, and there’s this moment when she bites her lip and grabs your wrist to pull you deeper and the game lets you decide if you go gentle or just pound her into the bedroll. Went gentle first time, went full animal the second. Both scenes hit in different way. Same girl, whole different vibe just because of choices before. That kind of thing made the romance feel like more than “click gift, get sex.”

Not everything is perfect. Some transitions between adventure parts and sex feel like someone cut a YouTube video too fast. One second it’s “we must hurry, the world is in danger” and three dialog boxes later your cock is in her mouth by a waterfall and nobody cares about demons anymore. I’m not complaining, but it’s funny. Also, sometimes the game pretends you’re the noble hero, then gives you this option that is pure degenerate, like “comfort her” sitting right next to “shove your cock between her tits while she cries.” I told myself I’d take the wholesome path, clicked the worst one, didn’t even feel bad. The mix of exploration, flirting, combat, then suddenly being balls deep in some fantasy girl who moans your title like it’s a spell, that’s the charm here. If you play this, my only weird advice is: don’t rush every scene. Tease the game a bit. Sometimes refusing the obvious blowjob first and going with soft romance opens something filthier later, like when the shy mage suddenly asks to taste your cum after a hard fight instead of you pushing for it. Let the world breathe, lose a fight or two, say the wrong thing, reload only when you really hate an outcome. Stretch it. You’ll squeeze more out of every dirty moment that way.

Keiichi feels like that dude who sits alone in the corner of a beach bar, pretending he’s “just enjoying the view” while his entire life is quietly catching fire. The game throws you right into his vacation, into this fake-relaxing tropical vibe where the air smells like sunscreen and cheap cocktails, and suddenly every girl you meet has a body that makes you forget what you were going to say. It looks like some light romantic thing at first, all smiles at the hotel café, sand stuck between toes, sun on brown skin, but it doesn’t stay soft. One moment you’re sharing iced coffee with a curvy Brazilian waitress, watching her ass sway when she leans over to clean a table, and the next she’s teasing you under the counter with her foot, pressing her soft sole against your crotch while she keeps talking like nothing’s happening. She laughs when you spill your drink, by the way. Total bully energy, and I kind of hated it and loved it.

The whole story is written like this messy diary he’s keeping on his phone, like when you open Google Docs at night and write stuff you’d never send to anyone. Some scenes are sweet in a painful way. You’re on the beach at sunset with this latina girl who pretends she just wants to talk about “future plans” and family drama, but the camera just sits way too long on her tits pushed up in that bikini, on tan thighs crossed in the sand. She puts her feet in your lap, wriggling her toes like it’s nothing, and casually asks if you’ve ever had your dick sucked on an empty shore. Cue choice screen: be a gentleman, or let her slowly slide down, her lips wrapping around you while waves crash in the background. You can pick if he’s loyal or just a horny idiot, but no matter what you choose, you still feel like a creep checking all the routes. There’s a party scene too, loud music, glow sticks, everyone half-drunk, her lipstick smeared as she pushes you into a dark corner near the pool and takes you in her mouth, choking and giggling, then asking if you’d still call her in the morning. You probably won’t.

The game keeps throwing women at you like you’re the last man on earth. Big tits bouncing in tight tops at the hotel café, big asses in tiny shorts walking ahead of you on the boardwalk, different skin tones, different attitudes. One is shy and romantic, blushing when your hand brushes her ankle, then later she’s the one giving you a slow, almost worshipful footjob on the bed, her painted toes gripping your shaft while she whispers that she wants to belong to you. Another girl flirts with your friends, flirts with everyone actually, and if you follow the wrong choices she heads off with some other guy, and the game just lets you sit in that sick netorare feeling, reading Keiichi’s jealous diary entry where he pretends it doesn’t bother him. Sometimes the choices feel fake, like they clearly want you to go for the full harem route, with all of them orbiting around your dick on this “vacation that changes everything”, but then there are these tiny moments where someone refuses you, or talks about old wounds, and suddenly your porn game turns into late-night emotional torture. Still, every time I told myself I’d stick to one wholesome romance, I ended up at another beach party, staring at bouncing tits in a wet bikini top, toes sliding along my shaft under the table, and clicking the most trash option available without even pretending to be a good guy.
