Guy gets into Tokyo Uni thinking he’ll just grind classes, maybe hit the gym a bit, maybe fail a quiz and cry in the shower later. Instead he trips straight into managing a full women’s volleyball team where every girl looks like hentai artists argued over breast size and nobody remembered what a normal uniform fits like. It’s that kind of story. Not subtle, not pretending to be. You’re the only guy swimming in a sea of big boobs, tight shorts, and fake wholesome “we’re just here to practice” energy that lasts about five minutes before the coach starts power-tripping and the girls start orbiting you like horny planets with daddy issues and midterms.

From my gender studies brain, this thing is wild. It pretends to be about training schedules and match strategy, and then half the “strategy” is choosing whether you check in on the shy bookworm in the library or the loud, sweaty ace at the gym who bends over way too slow to pick up the ball. The choices actually matter more than the game looks at first. You skip one girl’s extra workout and suddenly she’s blowing you off in the locker room scene later. Date nights feel like someone watched too many romance anime and then said, fine, but what if he just actually fucks her on the park bench instead of fading to black. The sex is very direct. Lots of oral, lots of vagina, lots of “oops I’m sitting on your lap, senpai” that ends with her moaning with her tits bouncing in those animated loops that look a bit too smooth, like the AI generator was horny but slightly confused.

What hit me the weird way is the netorare angle sneaking around the edges. The coach is not just strict. He’s possessive in this gross patriarchal “I own their bodies because I own their training” way, and the game leans into that tension. One route you’re kissing a girl under the bleachers and later you catch her in a scene that clearly changes if you weren’t nice enough to her earlier, and now she’s doing things with that coach that feel half “I want this” and half “I’m trapped”. It’s hot and fucked up at the same time. As a researcher I’m like, wow, power imbalance, consent blur, institutional abuse patterns. As a player I accidentally clicked the jealous answer and now I hate myself and still watched the whole scene on loop. There’s romance paths too, like actual soft ones, where you build trust, cuddle in the dorm, slow kissing, talk about exams, then end up with a really tender sex scene where she keeps eye contact while riding you and it feels more like emotional intimacy than porn. The game wants to be both cute boyfriend simulator and “everyone is cheating on everyone in secret” drama. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just feels like whiplash. Also there is one tiny UI sound when you confirm a choice that is so annoying I thought my Discord pinged every time and I’m still mad about it. Anyway, multiple endings mean you can be the caring partner, the possessive asshole, or the guy who thinks he’s doing the right thing while the system quietly corrupts every girl around him and you only notice when it’s way, way too late.

Lydia feels like that quiet girl from your math class who never talked, then one night you see her at a party half drunk, lips on another girl, mascara ruined, and you realise you had no clue who she really was. That’s the whole vibe here. She walks into this fancy New York college with her planner, her high grades, her “good girl” brain, and then the game basically throws her into sex, pressure, weird relationships, and some very questionable choices that you, as the player, keep pushing her into because it’s impossible not to test how far she bends. One moment she’s blushing because someone saw her underwear under that too-short skirt, next moment you’ve got her deliberately “forgetting” to close the curtains in her dorm room, staring at her own reflection on the glass while knowing people in the next building can see everything. I liked how the game doesn’t scream at you “this is corruption now”, it just lets you nudge her a bit, then a bit more, and suddenly Lydia’s the one saying the filthy lines in dialog that would have made her faint in the intro.

The routes with the girls hit different than I expected. When Lydia ends up in those lesbian scenes, it’s not just “oh look, two girls, boobs, done”. You get soft, clumsy kisses on a dorm bed with a friend, the kind where they both stop and giggle because teeth bumped, and then twenty minutes later you might have her pinned against a bathroom stall, one hand over her mouth while some other student is washing their hands at the sink, clueless. Or maybe not totally clueless. The game is weird like that, it loves that almost-caught tension. The trans romances are actually where I felt the dev flexing a bit. There’s that moment when Lydia’s staring at a hard cock and pretty face at the same time, trying to process why she’s more turned on than confused, and the dialog actually leans into her brain spinning, not just her body reacting. Sex scenes go from sweet vanilla dates and handholding to Lydia on her knees taking it deep and letting someone use her hair as grip, then back to cuddles like nothing happened. Some scenes are kind of stiff and the pacing jumps around without warning, like a Ren’Py script got smashed with a hammer and taped back together, but in a weird way that matches how her college life feels. You think you’re going for wholesome romance, suddenly you’re choosing whether she agrees to wear a collar under her turtleneck to class. Or if she lets a girl tie her wrists to the headboard and take pictures, “just for us”, which of course is never just for them. I kept meaning to try the more normal path and then found myself pushing her into another risky exhibition stunt, like making her walk down the dorm hallway in nothing but an unbuttoned shirt and panties, praying no RA shows up. It’s messy, horny, sometimes awkward, sometimes really hot, and Lydia never fully stops feeling like that smart, slightly lost college girl who might either graduate with honors or end up skipping lectures because she’s too busy getting fucked in someone’s off-campus apartment.

Queens nightlife, shitty subway delays, thumb going numb from swiping left, and suddenly your phone actually vibrates for something that isn’t a spam bot or your bank yelling at you. Three matches. Same day. All real faces, no “follow my OnlyFans” garbage, no stolen Instagram pics. The game drops you right in that moment where your brain goes from “whatever” to “ok, don’t fuck this up” and it stays locked in that feeling the whole time. It’s not some fantasy harem bullshit where girls fall on your dick just because you exist. You’re a guy who’s been losing on the apps, kind of tired, kind of horny, kind of lonely, scrolling at night in Queens while Netflix auto plays crap in the background. Then those three women show up like the algorithm finally felt guilty.

What I really liked is how human the dates feel when they actually start. You sit across from her, she laughs at something you didn’t even think was funny, and you’re already overthinking your next line. The game really milks that small awkward silence before a first kiss, or when you’re not sure if you should move closer on the couch. There’s a bar scene where you’re both half tipsy, and she leans in to tell you some stupid story about an ex, and the camera just lingers too long on her lips while your answers change how flirty things get. You say something a bit bold, her eyes linger on you a second longer, hand brushing your thigh like “oops” but absolutely not an accident. If you play safe, you still feel the tension, like her body is a half step ahead of her words. Third date with each woman is where the clothes finally start to lose the battle. Soft moans, a bra strap sliding down slow, fingers under a skirt while she pretends to keep talking about music. Nothing hardcore, but the game knows exactly how to make “her breath catching when your hand moves higher” feel obscene in the best way. The sex is more about how she looks at you when you unzip her than about angles and fluids, which honestly hits harder than some extreme porn stuff.

The cool thing, or maybe annoying thing, is how much the full motion scenes lock you into her vibe. When she smiles, it’s not a perfect porn star thing, it’s messy, real, like she’s actually into you and maybe a bit nervous herself. One of the dates has that cheap apartment lighting with a lamp too bright in the background, and it feels like every shitty real-life hookup, except here the girl is actually interesting and not checking her phone mid kiss. The choices you make across the three meetings slowly crank the intimacy, like going from “safe small talk at a coffee shop” to “her grinding on your lap in a dark corner where you definitely should get caught but don’t care.” Sometimes the game blue-balls you when you think you’re getting more than softcore, but that denial actually kind of works, like she’s teasing you on purpose and not giving you everything yet. In one route she keeps her panties on during the whole oral scene and you can see that wet spot growing while she bites her lip and pretends she’s still in control, which is honestly hotter than a lot of games that show everything. You’re juggling three women, three different chemistry patterns, trying not to say the same lazy line to all of them, because the writing actually calls you out if you act like a copy paste dude. You feel that little stab of guilt when you’re making out with one on her couch while remembering how another one laughed at your dumb joke the previous night. It’s a slow burn, full of kisses that go on for just a little too long, hands slipping where they shouldn’t, and the heavy question hanging in the air after date nine: who are you going to actually keep fucking, and who are you going to leave on read.
