Max starts out as this broke dude in a cramped place, surrounded by women who are way too hot for that shitty apartment. Mom is trying to keep everything together, pretending she’s just a “normal” mother, while her body is screaming another story every time she bends over the table. The two sisters are different flavors of trouble. One has that cute teen attitude, fake innocence, all “oh big brother, what are you doing in my room?”, the other already walks around the house like she’s auditioning for a porn shoot she doesn’t know is happening yet. Then suddenly this huge house drops on your head from the missing dad, with a pool so big it feels obscene, and no money to match it. So you’re poor as hell in a rich place, stuck in a sexy zoo where every cage is unlocked. The game basically asks: how much of a pervert can you be without anyone throwing you out.

What really sells it is how it plays with corruption. At first, everyone acts like family is family, “we don’t do that”, all shy and careful. You peek at mom in the shower “by accident”, she yells, covers herself, but you still remember the shape of her tits more than the shouting. A little later, you catch her late at night, alone with a glass of wine, robe half open, and the game lets you push your luck. One compliment turns into a hand on her hip, that turns into you noticing she doesn’t pull away, and suddenly the “good mother” is letting you stare too long at her cleavage. Same with the sisters. You start with stupid harmless things like “oh, your skirt is too short” while your eyes are down there for way too long, and end up with your cock in someone’s mouth while she’s glaring up at you, half pissed, half turned on. The first time you cum in a mouth here, it actually feels like you crossed some line that shouldn’t be crossed, not just clicked through another scene. And the game laughs about it, throws in little jokes, stupid memes, like it knows this whole situation is fucked up and still keeps poking you to go deeper. The humor is kind of trashy, sometimes it lands, sometimes it feels like that awkward friend who repeats the same dirty joke, but somehow that also fits the vibe. You spy on them, you listen at doors, you stand at the edge of the pool pretending to check the water while you’re just staring at wet panties. There are moments where you wish the money side of the story did more, but it mostly exists to justify why everyone is stuck together, touching way more than any normal family should. And yeah, the small stuff like certain lines repeating or one scene dragging too long will annoy you, but by the time mom is slowly getting used to your hands on her ass and the “innocent” sister is kneeling between your legs, gagging a little while you hold her head and fill her mouth, you won’t be thinking about that at all.

Raven wakes up in Lustein with the kind of hangover you get from reality itself, not from alcohol. She knows three things: her name, that she’s a witch, and that everyone around her is way too horny for a Tuesday that doesn’t even exist. The town looks like some fantasy RPG town you half remember from an old JRPG, but somebody replaced half the NPC dialogues with porn hub comments and cult propaganda. On one corner there’s a prim girl in a hood preaching purity, on the next there’s a slime girl casually jerking off a tentacle beast in an alley, and both scenes feel normal after about ten minutes. The game doesn’t even apologize for it. You walk Raven around, poke your nose into “investigations,” and every lead about the mysterious Order somehow slides into another sex scene, another shady deal, another monster with way too much cock for its own skeleton.

What I liked is that Raven isn’t written like some clueless virgin protagonist who “accidentally” falls on dick every five steps. At first she’s confused, guarded, trying to treat every encounter like a real case file. You’re choosing dialogue options, digging for clues, following rumors about disappearances and strange symbols, but half the clue-givers are masturbating behind curtains or peeping through keyholes when you arrive. The voyeur stuff sneaks up on you: you accept a “stakeout quest,” thinking you’ll watch a corrupt priest meet his contact, and suddenly you’re crouched behind a crate, watching him get absolutely flooded by his own acolytes in a holy-bukkake ritual that looks like a blasphemous version of a Klimt painting. You can stay hidden, stroke yourself with Raven’s gloved hand while the scene unfolds, or reveal yourself and twist the ritual to your own kind of magic. The game pretends it is about an investigation, but it is actually about how far you push her corruption, how much you let Lustein leak into her soul and underwear. There’s turn based combat, sure, but it’s the kind of combat that laughs at normal balance. You’re casting spells that bind tentacles, seduce bosses, or literally masturbate mid-battle to charge a corruption bar that works like mana and moral decay at the same time. An early battle with a raven-headed knight is still stuck in my head: the fight starts like normal, you exploit his weak point, suddenly his armor snaps away and what’s under it could never fit in that plate mail. You can finish him “properly” with fire and hexes, or stun him using a seduction stance that turns the screen into a slow striptease, then ride him until he swears fealty with a mouth full of your magic. There is this absurd tension between “I am saving this world” and “I am absolutely getting railed by it.”

The outfits are not just costumes; they feel like alternate timelines for Raven. You change from a modest witch dress into a shredded leather top and thigh-high boots, and the game quietly adjusts how people react. That prim Order nun earlier suddenly stops seeing you as possible recruit and starts looking at you like potential prey, cornering you later in a side chapel and suggesting “purification” that involves ropes, candles, and her tongue taking a pilgrimage between your legs. Another time I put Raven into a delicate, almost scholarly robe, and went to a monster-infested forest. Bad idea. The tentacle plants there literally respond differently, coiling around her as if they’ve found a rare flower and need to pollinate it from every angle. You’re given choices, but a lot of them feel like you’re only choosing how filthy things get, not if. One quest has you investigating rumors about a masked witch corrupting villagers. Plot twist: that witch is basically you from the future if you dive too far into the hentai logic of Lustein. Fighting her in turn-based battle is weirdly arousing and tragic: magic circles, mirrored incantations, her taunting you with what you will become, then pinning you down with living chains while she pours her “knowledge” into your mouth. The best part is I hated some tiny UI things, like how the log sometimes hides a line you want to reread during a particularly heavy lesbian ritual, and I will complain about this in my head forever, but at the same time, when Raven kneels in a ruined library, covered in monster cum, reading sigils from a soaked grimoire while fingering herself to unlock a new spell, I forget everything else. It feels like those old fantasy paperbacks where the margins are full of notes from some horny reader before you, except now you’re the one writing them on Raven’s skin.

Dreams of Desire is like one of those trashy hentai OVA you told yourself you’d watch just for the “plot”, then suddenly it’s three routes later and you know everyone’s bad habits, favorite underwear color, and exactly how far they’ll go if you whisper the right words into their ear. The setup is simple enough: guy doesn’t want to get shipped off to some dead boring military academy, stumbles over a creepy old book that basically says “hey, you can hack people’s brains if you’re horny and irresponsible enough,” and then everything around him turns into a playground of lust, lies, and a bit of morality yeeting itself out the window. What I like is how it goes from kinda normal slice of life to “ok, this household is one wrong decision away from a full-on corruption spiral” without making a big dramatic show. One minute you’re talking about chores and dinner, next minute you’re peeking through doors, catching somebody fingering themselves, and the game asks you if you just walk away or stand there like a degenerate and enjoy the view.

The corruption stuff is the real meat here. It’s not like, instant brainwash with glowing eyes and everyone turns into sex drones. It’s slower, messy, and sometimes awkward in that way only this genre really knows how to do. You try pushing someone a little too hard and they snap at you, or you say the “wrong” suggestion and instead of sexy obedience you get guilt, weird tension, and you sitting there thinking “ok, I kinda deserve that.” Then two scenes later that same character is giving you this shy little striptease, pretending they’re in control while clearly melting inside. Some of the best moments are small things, like when the “good girl” character starts swearing when she gets fucked rough for the first time, or when the dominant one suddenly blushes when you flip the power dynamic and tease her feet until she begs. The game really loves watching you turn hesitation into addiction: first a stolen glance in the shower, then mutual masturbation, then blowjob in a place that’s absolutely not safe, and then suddenly you’re sharing a bed with three women who should absolutely not all be okay with it, yet nobody is saying no anymore. And the worst part is how natural it feels inside this world, like the book didn’t just unlock manipulation, it pulled the mask off everyone’s hidden kinks and said “go on, you already wanted this.”

Game hits you with this weird mix of horny and courtroom drama that kinda shouldn’t work, but it does, like getting a blowjob during a TED talk about legal ethics. You’re this fresh lawyer guy, all suit and nerves, and everyone around you is either lying, flirting, or trying to own your soul, sometimes all three at once. It feels a bit like Phoenix Wright if Phoenix stopped shouting “Objection!” and started thinking with his dick. You’re clicking through dialogue, trying to sound smart in court while also trying not to stare too hard at tits that are, let’s be honest, animated to wreck your focus.

What I liked is how the game keeps pretending it’s classy and serious with the law vibe, then out of nowhere you’re in some office at night, alone with a client who really does not respect the concept of personal space. You’re sitting there, choices on screen like “press her on the alibi” or “lean into the seduction,” and your brain is like “yeah yeah justice and all that” while your hand is already hovering over the horny option. Seduction scenes are actually not lazy too, they build up. You talk, you tease, sometimes she teases you, sometimes you screw it up and she shuts you down, which hurts more than losing the case, honestly. When you finally end up with her between your legs, giving you oral while you’re half-dressed in your lawyer clothes, it really leans into that power thing. You’re the guy in control on paper, but half the time you feel like a puppet on her tongue. Not complaining. Mostly.

It’s still a visual novel at the end of the day, so yeah, lots of reading, lots of choices, and the 3D style is kinda clean and kinda janky at the same time. Some faces look amazing in one angle, then in another they look like they’re judging you for your Pornhub search history. The courtroom gameplay bits are fun, even if sometimes they act like you’re Sherlock when you’re just clicking the one option that doesn’t sound completely stupid. I had one moment where I was grilling a witness all serious, using logic, checking evidence, feeling big brain, then the game cuts to later that night and that same witness is on her knees in your apartment, lipstick smudged, talking about how “dominant” you were in court. Like, chill, I only clicked the blue text option. There are paths where you lean into being the nice respectful guy, but it kind of feels like the world keeps pushing you toward being this smug dominant bastard who knows exactly how to twist people, in and out of court. And yeah, I wish the MC had less of that default porn-protagonist blankness sometimes, but then one of the girls will give you that slow look up and down and call you “counselor” in this filthy tone and suddenly you forget to care about character depth. Also there’s this annoying little sound effect in some menu that kept looping and I still have no idea why it pissed me off so much, but anyway. You bounce between moral choices, dirty talking, and legal puzzles like you’re juggling law books and panties at the same time, and it’s surprisingly easy to lose track of which one mattered more.
