There is this horny little sci-fi sandbox where you basically wake up one day with an alien symbiote stuck to you and it is not subtle at all about what it wants. No tragic backstory, no dead parents, just “hey, we can punch through walls now and also fuck anything that moves, cool?” The tone is kind of funny because the game pretends for ten seconds to be about saving the city from weird monsters, then you’re balls deep in some milf in a broken office with tentacles politely holding the door closed. The symbiote acts like your pervy coach, whispering in your head, pushing you toward more extreme stuff: cheating, public sex, corruption, the works. Sometimes it teases you on purpose, like you walk past a girl doing VR cosplay in her room and the alien is like “we should test her stamina” and you can actually just… stand there and watch her masturbate for a bit while your own hands “accidentally” drift down. I liked that way too much. Or not enough, I’m not sure.

Gameplay jumps around a lot. One minute you’re doing these janky but fun combat sequences, tentacle-lashing alien beasts that try to rip you apart, and the next minute you’re basically running a management sim of your own harem. You roam around, pick which girl to visit, how to corrupt her, how much “symbiote juice” to spend to unlock a new power or new position. The powers are stupid in the best way: super strength for ripping clothes, stretching limbs for reaching… spots, organic restraints that turn into living sex toys. There’s this scene in a neon alley where you fight a monster and then pin it, and the game lets you decide if you drain it normally or let your symbiote “experiment”. I picked experiment, obviously, and suddenly there is a mess of slick tentacles around this alien chick, her big tits bouncing while she’s choking on you and your second mouth is busy lower down. All animated, very explicit, not shy about anal or creampies at all. The movement during oral scenes looks a bit too smooth in a weird way, like those TikTok filters, but I still watched the whole thing, zoomed in, rewound. Twice. And then complained to myself the tongue animation felt off and went back again anyway.

What surprised me is how the romance and corruption are tangled together. You can play the sweet guy with the shy girl at the café, bring her little gifts, flirt, then gradually “share” part of the symbiote with her. It starts like a cute sci-fi romance and ends with her happily letting tentacles hold her ankles apart in a bathroom stall while someone else walks in and pretends not to see. That whole exhibitionism angle creeps in slowly. First it’s playful teasing, a boob slip while using your powers in public, then full-on sex on a rooftop while patrol drones fly by. The game even has multiple endings depending how far you push each girl, but it never makes a big speech about it, the routes just sort of happen as you keep doing what turns you on. I got one ending where my guy basically becomes the city’s secret monster problem solver and also the unofficial porn overlord, running this twisted little harem where everyone is corrupted and happy. I kind of hated that the sandbox flow means you sometimes wander around doing nothing for a while, opening the same menu five times just to trigger the next scene, but when it finally pops and you see that new animated blowjob with the symbiote forming a cock ring or turning her cosplay outfit into living latex, yeah, suddenly that little annoyance at the map icons being slightly off-center doesn’t really matter anymore and I just kept clicking for “research”.

High School Hobby Harlots feels like someone mashed together a horny comic, an old-school hentai dating sim and a messy sandbox life sim, then laughed and said “good enough” and hit upload. You play Amara, this spoiled rich troublemaker dumped into a “reform school” that is about as holy as a Pornhub comment section. The whole vibe is super tongue in cheek: nuns with dirty thoughts, students who look like they’re one bad decision away from starting an OnlyFans, and teachers that definitely should not be left alone with anyone. The art is 2D comic panels, kind of fanzine style, sometimes clean, sometimes rough, but it fits the “I’m not supposed to be doing this” mood perfectly. It feels like reading a dirty webcomic where you keep clicking for the next punchline and suddenly you’re knee deep in anal, voyeurism, and girls showing way too much skin in the chapel.

The fun part for me was how the game quietly turns you into a little sex manager. You’re not just clicking through scenes. You’re juggling stats like Fun, Energy, Allure, Sexperience and Money, and they actually matter. You wanna drag a classmate into your corruption spiral, you better have enough Allure and the right timing, because some events only trigger when Amara is in a certain mood or you pushed a girl just far enough. One moment I was in the dorm teasing a shy girl with a toy, just casual masturbation training, and a bit later she’s sucking dick on camera for Amara’s iFap channel like it’s no big deal. The pacing of that fall is nice and dirty. Corruption here isn’t just a label. You can feel it when a girl that refused to flash her tits earlier suddenly agrees to public exhibition in the showers while other students “pretend” they’re not watching. The camming storyline is hilarious and sleazy at the same time: you push them into doing oral, playing with themselves, trying anal plugs on stream, and the game keeps throwing in those quips that make you grin like an idiot. Then you level them up even more and suddenly escorting on iFuq is on the table, with group sex events and weird little interracial scenes that pop up like “oh ok, we’re doing this now.” Some of the sandbox routine gets a bit grindy, like you’re repeating similar actions hoping for the next random sexy event, and sometimes the timing feels like Ren’Py rolled a nat 1 on your libido. But then you get a new event with Amara taking two girls to a “study session” that somehow turns into lesbian foreplay, a spanking lesson and finally everyone stuffed and covered, and you kinda forgive the jank. It’s messy, it’s horny, it’s funny in a dumb way, and the game doesn’t pretend to be classy. It just hands you a reform school full of difficult girls and asks, very politely, how filthy you feel like making them today.
