You’re the guy on the door of the last more-or-less holy place on earth, and it’s already not holy at all. Secret Refuge sounds like some serious religious bunker, but it feels more like a horny monastery run by people who forgot the original rules and just kept the guilt. Every day the gate buzzes, some fucked-up Outsider stands there telling you their sad story, and you decide: in, out, or “come back when I feel like abusing power.” The fun part is that this isn’t just moral choice button pressing. Your decisions drip into everything. Who you let in changes who walks the halls, who bends the knee, who ends up on their knees in your room while choir music leaks through the walls like a weird joke from the devs.

Inside the shelter, three big factions keep poking at you. There’s the fake-saint crowd trying to keep things “pure” while their nuns and virginal priestesses clearly have tits like heavy pillows and asses that don’t match their sermons. There’s a more practical, dirty group that doesn’t mind corruption at all, as long as you’re useful at the gate and in their beds. And then there’s the “intellectual” religious tech weirdos who built half the AI systems here and pretend they’re above lust, right until your hand is slowly groping under their robes in some candlelit corner and they’re mumbling prayers between moans. I like that the corruption is not just a meter. You see it in how their clothes shrink, how the teasing starts, how sleep sex suddenly becomes an option after a “blessing” ceremony where she drinks a bit too much, lies down in the common dorm, and you stand there staring, half-ashamed and hard as fuck. The game is very casual about male domination, like it’s just another resource to manage: food, faith, obedience, orgasms.

For an adult game, the sound caught me off guard. It’s not huge orchestral stuff, more like dirty little loops that sneak into your brain. Gentle ambient hum in the gate scene, then this soft, almost holy synth chord when you approve someone, but when you start harassing that busty acolyte in a storage room, the track adds this low, slow bass that feels like a heartbeat crawling into your spine. It’s weirdly sexy. Not “high budget sexy” either, there are these tiny glitches in volume, a loop that clicks on itself, and I actually like it. Reminds me of listening to lo-fi porn audio on VLC while another tab is open on a porn site you forgot to pause. The AI-generated CG fits that same vibe: sometimes the girls’ faces look a bit too perfect, or a hand is slightly off, but your brain patches it because the tits and asses are front and center and the animation in the right moments is smooth enough to make you forget you wanted to nitpick. There’s this scene where you catch a religious girl sneaking sweets from a forbidden stockpile, and instead of reporting her, you “punish” her by making her strip piece by piece, with you controlling the pace like a twisted rhythm game. The music stays calm, almost peaceful, while you grope her, make her stroke you, then push her down for slow vaginal sex on the cold floor; the mismatch between soft soundtrack and filthy movements hits way harder than some loud porn beat. The puzzle and management stuff are there, but half of the time you click your way through dialogue only to get back to that one girl you corrupted from shy believer to sleep toy, waiting in your bunk, snoring lightly, panties already sliding off because you trained her that way. Honestly, I wish the phone UI for the mobile browser version had slightly bigger buttons during one-handed moments, but that’s not going to change and maybe it shouldn’t. Makes every misclick feel like part of the mess you’re making, inside this supposed shelter and inside your own head.

Game feels like opening an old Facebook chat with your childhood crush and then immediately getting dragged into the kind of horny soap opera you only admit watching when your VPN is on. You start as this guy who used to be super close with Emilia, then shit went bad, family moved, classic “I’ll totally message you” lie, and now, many years later, life decides to throw you right back into her orbit. And not just hers. She has younger twin sisters now, and they’re grown, hot, way too grabby for their own good, and apparently never learned the word “boundaries.” The game basically locks you into this messy reunion where awkward nostalgia, unresolved drama, and slow-burn romance keep crashing into handsy teasing and full-on sex like some horny soap that forgot how brakes work.

Most of it plays like a kinetic story, so you don’t get that much choice, but it actually kind of fits this one. It feels more like binging one of those trashy Netflix dramas on autopilot while half your brain is busy thinking “ok but if she’s mad at him, why is her hand on his dick right now?” The MC is still a virgin at the start, which is honestly hilarious with how fast everyone around him flips from “long time no see” to “hey, let me grind on your lap.” There’s a strong focus on teasing, slow groping, stripping piece by piece, that kind of thing, before the more hardcore stuff starts. Animated scenes help a lot; there’s this one moment in the living room where one of the twins is “just joking” by climbing in your lap, and the way her hips move in the animation is way more indecent than anything she actually says. Feels like the dev knew exactly which angle people pause on in other games and just locked the camera there.

Sex itself goes pretty far. Handjobs that feel messy and clumsy in a good way, deep oral where the girl’s eyes water and she has to pull back, interracial scenes that are actually framed like real encounters instead of some weird fetish ad, and more emotional romance stuff too, where Emilia finally stops pretending she doesn’t care. Then out of nowhere the game just slams you with real graphic violence in some parts. Like, soft lighting, half-naked girl giggling, then suddenly someone gets hurt badly and there’s blood and you’re sitting there like you accidentally clicked the wrong tab. Honestly it hit harder because the rest of the game is all warm bodies and dumb jokes and then, bam. They use it to push the story forward, tie into the big life event that brings everybody together again, but it still catches you off guard. There are multiple endings depending on your route and how you handle the emotional stuff, though you can’t sidestep the sex anyway, which is kind of the point. The twins are playful and bratty and clearly into groping and messing with you, Emilia is the slow-burn heart of the story, and you’re stuck in the middle, trying to figure out if this is a romance, a porn game, or that one night your brain keeps replaying when you’re trying to sleep.

There is this strange, heavy feeling when the game opens, like walking back into an old porn folder you forgot, but someone has replaced all cheap hentai with something that actually stares back at you. You are this ancient thing, Iraáil, a vampire god-thing, whatever, but tired as fuck. Not the sexy edgy teen vampire tired, more like “I’ve seen too much blood and too much bad sex and I’m bored of both” tired. The game sits you in that mood right away. You’re not chasing girls in school uniforms, you’re walking into the ruins of your own family, and everyone in it either wants to fuck you, kill you, or cry when they see you, sometimes all three in same scene. The writing leans hard into that mix of horny and awful. One moment you are licking blood off someone’s throat while their lover watches and shakes, half terrified, half desperate to be next, and the text lingers on the taste, the smell, the way their body softens under you. Then, in the next line, it hits you with “this is your child’s descendant” and suddenly your dick and your conscience are in the same small coffin.

What got me is how the erotic scenes never feel like they are in a separate folder from the rest. You make a small choice, like putting a hand on a shoulder instead of around the throat, and three scenes later someone is either on their knees for you, or sobbing and calling you a monster while still grinding against your leg. The game keeps score in this weird fear and love way, but it never throws a big popup, it just quietly warps how people look at you. There was this one moment where I chose to be “gentle” with a worshiper in a temple, just to see what the soft option looks like. It still ended in cum and blood on the floor, but the whole vibe flipped. Instead of them begging you to hurt them more, they were whispering that they missed you, like some fucked up immortal ex, and I actually paused, alt tabbed to Spotify, changed the playlist, came back and just stared at the text like “why am I sad with my pants down.” And the horror parts, they are not jumpscares, more like that slow “oh, I really did those things, huh” realization. When your progeny strips for you, showing bite marks you gave generations ago like holy scars, it’s hot in that dirty, stomach twisting way. You want to click further, you also want to close the browser and go touch grass. But you don’t. You pretend you will be kinder this time, then pick the cruel dialogue anyway, just to see how deep the rabbit hole of this fucked up immortal soap opera goes. The game remembers. The characters remember. Their bodies remember you most of all.

The first thing I thought after a few minutes was - why does it feel like a fever dream made by someone who got lost between a lab manual and a wet dream? The tone is weirdly confident, like the game knows it’s absurd and just leans into it. One moment you’re staring at a microscope screen, the next a pair of soft giggles echo in your ear and you forget there’s supposed to be *science* involved. The twins - god, they’re both trouble in different flavors. The older one pretends she’s got morals, the younger one pretends nothing at all matters. They circle you like cats, teasing until you can’t tell who’s leading anymore. It’s the kind of harem setup that should feel predictable, but doesn’t, because everyone acts like they’ve read too many philosophy posts on Twitter and now weaponize flirting as research.

There’s this one scene - animated in that slow, almost-too-smooth way - where she’s trying to keep a serious conversation while her hand is very much *not* serious, and you can feel the POV shake like the dev forgot to stabilize it. It’s oddly intimate, messy even, which I liked more than I expected. The humor sneaks in during those in-between breaths; the hero mutters something about “empirical data” right before a creampie moment, and it’s so dumb it becomes sexy again. Sometimes the pacing flatlines, like the game just needed a cigarette break. Other times it spikes into this blurry intensity that makes you forget your phone is heating up in your hand. I still don’t get the romance angle though - it’s half sincere, half ironic, like everyone’s pretending not to be lonely while naked.

I keep thinking how the visuals give everyone that soft plastic shine, but I don’t even care after a while. The dialogue is clumsy and weirdly poetic, like it was translated by someone half-drunk on dopamine. There’s a virgin subplot I wanted to hate, but then it turns awkward and human and suddenly I did care. I started imagining sketching the twins, one smirking, one looking away, both glowing under fake lab light. Maybe that’s the spell - it’s trashy and stupid and kind of brilliant.
