Tali alone on her pilgrimage, horny, stressed, and way too easy to corrupt for her own good. That’s pretty much the whole vibe here and it hits harder than I expected. You start small, like you’re just poking around the Flotilla, trying to be this responsible quarian girl, doing missions, fixing stuff, talking to people who all think they know better than you. And then, very slowly, everything you do somehow turns into something sexual. A harmless “scan this thing” job ends with a monster pinning her down. A casual talk with another character twists into dirty teasing. One moment she’s nervous and cute, checking her omni-tool, next moment she’s on her knees, visor fogged, taking someone’s cock in her mouth while you click through dialogue like it’s completely normal. It’s not normal. It’s great.

The game lets you wander, but not too much. More like a horny sandbox where every corridor hides porn. You poke around a new area, you trigger some scene with corruption, and Tali’s attitude changes a little. At first she’s shy, super embarrassed, like “Keelah, what am I doing,” and you kind of feel bad. Then you unlock more intense stuff and suddenly this same girl is pushing her ass back against monsters and begging for more. Watching that change is where the game really got me. I started like a total noob, just clicking through, failing basic combat, barely understanding what stats matter. After a while I noticed I was planning fights just to see specific outcomes. Like, “ok, if I lose here, I get that anal scene,” and if I win, I get a different one. That fucked with my brain in a nice way. There’s this combat encounter where you can try to play smart and avoid the worst damage, but I kept throwing the fight on purpose because the corrupted variant of Tali, with big tits squeezed into the suit and her ass on display, was just way more fun to watch. I pretended it was for “roleplay,” but no, it was for the view.

And it’s not only monsters. The parody side really kicks when the other familiar faces show up. Miranda showing off her ridiculous body and acting like she’s superior, Liara being soft and weirdly obsessed, Ashley talking too much then getting her mouth filled so she shuts up for a second. I laughed when EDI is involved, because her cold logic next to all the lewd chaos just feels wrong in the right way. One minute you’re doing a small errand for someone like Kasumi, the kind of side task you’d ignore in a normal sci-fi game, and the next she’s teasing Tali, touching where she shouldn’t, almost like she’s testing how far this corrupted little pilgrim will go. The animations sell it more than I expected, especially when Tali slides from teasing to full vaginal and anal scenes, suit half-open, body on display, and you finally see what the game has been hinting at from the start. I wish the sandbox map was a bit bigger, but at the same time, if it was, I’d probably just get lost and never find half the porn. Also, one corridor has a light that flickers in this annoying way and I keep noticing it. No patch, no fix, just that stupid light judging me while I watch Tali get fucked senseless.

The corruption is not subtle, and I like that. You can basically steer her from half-innocent tech girl to full-on cum-drunk slut who doesn’t bother to pretend she cares about the mission anymore. There’s a nice clash when Commander Shepard pops in, because you can have this legendary hero in the background while Tali is secretly getting filled by some monster in another room. It feels wrong and perfect. Sometimes I wanted more choices, sometimes less, but that’s just me being picky. The game throws you into this horny pilgrimage and keeps poking your brain with “what if Tali does something even nastier here” over and over. And yeah, I kept saying to myself “ok, last scene, then I close the tab,” but then another option for masturbation or oral shows up, or some new corrupted reaction in a dialogue with Samara, and suddenly I’m clicking again like an idiot, trying to see every filthy branch before my hand is too tired to even move the mouse.

Whore Effect feels like someone modded Mass Effect after a long night, got horny, and never bothered to clean it up. In a good way and also not in a good way. You play as a very unprofessional Commander Shepard, a female captain who’s supposed to save the galaxy from Reapers but mostly keeps getting distracted by tits, alien pussy and stupid little errands that end with somebody getting creampied. The game doesn’t even pretend she’s noble. She flirts like a drunk, fucks like she’s speedrunning porn scenes, and still somehow pulls off the “good captain” thing just enough that you don’t feel like she should be court-martialed immediately. It’s a sandbox kind of structure, so you’re bouncing around to different locations, poking stuff, talking to people who all secretly or openly want to fuck you, clicking weird little minigames that look like they were programmed in a hangover. I liked that it never slows down to explain itself. You either get it or you mash buttons until Shepard moans and something fills her. Works both ways.

The erotic focus is very clear: vaginal sex, a lot of it, not shy at all, with explicit angles that feel like the dev really loved certain positions and just kept reusing them. Creampie is everywhere. Humans, asari, monster girls with too many teeth, it all ends with Shepard leaking something. The parody vibe is strong, but a bit stupid in a charming way, like someone remembered Mass Effect from years ago and is re-telling it from memory while half watching porn on another monitor. Liara T’Soni shows up, or something close enough to her that your brain fills the gap, and the scenes with her are honestly the best part. There’s this one bit where you’re supposed to do something serious for the mission, but the “puzzle” is basically teasing her until she caves and begs you to fuck her, and then the actual objective just pops up done afterward. That kind of fake challenge happens a lot: a puzzle, a stupid little pattern matching game, then suddenly you’re riding some alien on a console in the background like it’s nothing. It’s stupid. I still replayed that Liara scene three times.

Sound is where it got me, though, which is probably not what the dev expected. The music is this weird mash of euro-club loops, slightly off-key sci-fi ambience and cheap porn groove. None of it matches tempo properly and I kind of love it. There’s a track in one of the early ship sections that sounds like someone tried to copy the Mass Effect synth pads, then said “fuck it” and threw a lazy trap beat under it. Totally wrong for a dramatic commander speech, but when Shepard is naked and spread on some alien lab table, that beat suddenly makes sense. Her moans are uneven too, like they were recorded in different sessions with different mics, so sometimes she sounds like a porn star, sometimes like a streamer quietly failing to be discreet in a thin-walled apartment. It’s messy, but the mess sells the fantasy more than a perfect mix would. My only real audio complaint: there’s this tiny click every time one specific loop restarts in a sex scene in the medbay. Once you notice it you can’t unhear it and it drove me insane. I kept expecting an update that fixes it. It never came.

Anyway, don’t come here for deep sci-fi, even if it pretends to be Mass Effect with monsters and fantasy bits glued on. The “adventure” is just an excuse to walk into a room, say something horny and completely unprofessional, then end up with Shepard’s legs in the air. Some of the sex scenes play out almost like bad fanfic you’d find on an old forum, but the game leans into that cheap feeling so hard it circles around to being fun. Shepard acts like the galaxy’s horniest commander, you get a bunch of alien and monster girl scenes, some light puzzles that exist mostly to slow down your fap just enough, and a soundtrack that sounds like it’s coming from an old pirated MP3 collection. It’s trashy, it knows it’s trashy, and it kind of winks at you every time another creampie drips out on the floor of the Normandy.

Space family trip sounds cute on paper, right? Like some Instagram thing with matching suits and zero gravity hugs. This is not that. Here you start as a regular married guy who just wants to pay the damn mortgage and get his two stepdaughters through college, and suddenly you’re stuck on a paid “social experiment” in space where everyone around you gets their memories deleted… except you. So they wake up in this high-tech station, no clue who you are, who they are to you, nothing. You still remember every family dinner, every birthday, every time they called you dad. And then the game just looks at you and basically asks: are you going to be a good man, or are you going to be a complete fucking monster?

What makes it feel nasty in a good way is how normal everything looks at first. Clean corridors, organized rooms, your wife chatting, the girls wandering around in their little sci-fi outfits, curious and clueless. You talk to them and they treat you like some random stranger, and that hits harder than any porn setup. There is this one early scene where the younger stepdaughter is just sitting by a big window, staring out at the planet, and you can either comfort her like a worried dad or slide into this slow corruption path, touching just a bit too long, saying just a bit too much. Game doesn’t scream at you that it’s “evil”, it just lets you do it and quietly keeps track. Of course, if you push it, you get the heavy stuff: cheating on your wife while she’s right there in the same station, NTR stuff where other guys start sniffing around your girls if you play too soft, breeding content if you go full degenerate and start knocking people up. Sometimes the camera hangs just a second longer on a stare, or on a hand on a hip, and it’s more erotic than the full-on sex scene that comes after. Or it’s just my brain being cooked, could be that too.

The sci-fi part is not just wallpaper either. You got weird labs where they test “compatibility”, voyeur points where you watch what the others are doing in the showers or private cabins, exhibition stuff where your stepdaughter is walking around half naked in some gravity adjustment test and doesn’t understand why the crew is drooling over her. There is this one voyeur scene where your wife thinks she’s single again and flirts with some tall alien-looking dude, and the game lets you decide if you just watch, interfere, or let it slide into full-on NTR and then pretend later you “didn’t see”. And the animations are dirty in a very physical way: skin-on-skin, rough BDSM sessions with cuffs and collars in a sterile white room, interracial gangbang in a research bay like it’s just another experiment. The whole thing feels like a long bad decision tree from an old choose-your-own-adventure book, except every “turn to page 78” is basically “do you keep your morals or do you fuck your whole family’s life up in the horniest way possible”. It’s gross, it’s hot, it makes you pause on the save screen way too often, and then you still click the worst option.

I swear this game messed with my head more than any so-called “psychological” visual novel ever did. You wake up rich, spoiled, surrounded by girls who look like they stepped straight out of some fever-dream crossover - like, imagine Asuka Langley arguing with Hinata about who gets to sit closer to you at breakfast, and then Merlin just casually walks in wearing nothing but a towel that doesn’t even try to do its job. It’s ridiculous, yet there’s something weirdly believable about it. Maybe because the dream logic fits too well: everything looks perfect, but your brain keeps whispering that something’s off. I liked that uneasy feeling until it got buried under all the moaning and skin. Then again, maybe that’s the point - when reality breaks, people reach for pleasure first. Or I’m overthinking pixels again.

There’s this scene - I won’t spoil too much - but you’re supposed to choose between helping Yor Forger study or letting Jinx drag you to her room. I picked Yor, thinking it’d be wholesome. Yeah, right. Five clicks later she’s on the desk, glasses half-off, saying things no spy should ever say. The animation isn’t flawless; sometimes her eyes lag behind her face, which made me laugh when I shouldn’t have. But that glitchy charm stuck with me longer than any of the polished stuff. And the sound design? Way too real. My cheap headphones couldn’t handle Tsunade’s voice purring through them. Still, I kept replaying the same moment like an idiot chasing déjà vu.

Funny thing: I started playing for the sexy chaos, but ended up stuck thinking about that blank-memory setup. Like maybe the main guy deserves the confusion. Maybe we all do. It’s a horny game pretending to be philosophical - or a philosophical game pretending to be horny. Doesn’t matter. When Nami whispers something about “remembering the wrong things,” I actually paused. Then I unpaused, because, well… she was already moving.
