Kanoi Academy looks like one of those fancy anime schools from Pinterest, but right away the whole place feels kinda wrong, in a good “oh shit what did I just click” way. You’re Jin, this completely regular dude who somehow got invited to a place where everyone else is a genius, a prodigy, or at least pretending really hard. And then they throw you into this “Friendship Club”, which sounds cute and harmless until you realize friendship here means awkward flirting in empty classrooms, accidentally getting a face full of tits when someone trips, and talking about trauma right after a blowjob like it’s a normal club activity. One second you’re laughing at some dumb joke about homework, next second there’s a girl with a ridiculous ass grinding on your lap in the club room while you both pretend to be “practicing communication skills”. The game really leans into that school slice of life thing, but twists it just enough so even simple stuff like a walk to the dorms at night feels like it might turn into a horror scene or a handjob behind the bushes. Or both. Somehow both fits this place.

What surprised me is how much it jumps between horny and kinda fucked up without warning. You’ll be joking around with this bubbly girl who loves teasing you, she’s pressing her big soft tits into you, breathing in your ear while you’re trying not to bust in your pants. Then she says something real heavy, like she’s only here because her parents treat her like a project, not a person, and the mood just crashes for a second. Then she drops to her knees in the same scene, opens your fly, and starts sucking you off like it’s stress relief, messy spit on her lips, her eyes getting teary for more than one reason. It’s weirdly hot and sad at the same time. A lot of the sex plays like that: vaginal with slow, deep thrusts where the camera hangs on the way her body shakes, or quick desperate fucking when you’re both half dressed, her skirt pushed up, panties around her thigh, your hands fighting with her huge ass because you can’t grab it all. The 3D style works fine here, sometimes it looks stiff, but there are moments where a character just tilts her head or smirks and it hits way harder than it should. Also, the horror angle pops up when you least expect it: late night hallway, no music, light flickering, you hear something behind you, think it’s ghost shit, and it’s actually a girl you know, standing too close, whispering she’s been “waiting for you” with that smile that says romance on top but some real obsession hiding under it. Then she drags you into an empty room, locks the door, and suddenly your biggest problem is not monsters, it’s whether you can last more than a minute while her mouth works your cock like she practiced on lollipops her whole life. The game keeps doing that, turning horny into creepy, creepy into sweet, sweet into full on fucking in some quiet corner of the campus, like the whole academy is a sandbox of messed up feelings and wet thighs. You’re not really a hero here, just a guy pulling at threads, making choices, getting sucked into everyone’s drama, and somehow that makes every kiss, every joke, every time you slide inside someone and hear that first sharp gasp feel a bit more real than it has any right to.

You start out as this broke nobody with a hero complex and zero social life, which is honestly way too relatable, then you go and pull the dumbest smart move ever: throw away your own life to save someone else. Good job, martyr-kun. Instead of a gravestone you get a bunch of bored goddesses looking at you like a new toy. Not even subtle about it. One of them gives you a second shot in a fantasy world and from that point it’s less “epic isekai adventure” and more “how much teasing can one guy survive before his brain melts through his dick.” The setup looks like the usual dating sim fluff, yeah, but then you notice it’s actually a sandbox, so you just wander around clicking on stuff, peeking in places you probably shouldn’t, and suddenly you’re spying through a keyhole while a girl with ridiculous tits rides a pillow and moans your name without even having met you properly. Definitely not Bioware romance pacing.

What I liked way too much is how the game keeps pretending it cares about your soul and your choices, while it actually cares about your cock stamina. One minute a “pure” virgin priestess girl is nervously holding your hand, all blushy and sweet, saying she wants to “take it slow”, and five clicks later she’s on top of you, tits bouncing in your face, trying to cram you inside raw because a goddess “blessed” her womb. There’s this scene where a haughty goddess steps on your chest, heel pressing right under your ribs, and she’s making you kiss her toes like some pathetic knight, and you’re thinking “ok, fine, femdom stuff, I’ve seen worse,” then she suddenly squeezes your shaft between her soles and gives you this lazy, slow footjob while looking bored on purpose, just to make you beg harder. The animations are actually pretty hot, which annoys me, because I wanted to laugh at it and instead I just sat there like an idiot, edging. The teasing is brutal too: one girl grinds on your lap, panties soaked, keeps doing that almost-ahegao face, then stands up right before you finish and walks away to “cool down,” leaving you with nothing but a dialogue choice that changes absolutely nothing.

Later, when the harem stuff kicks in proper, the game goes from “awkward romance” to “of course they’re all fine with sharing you, why wouldn’t they.” You get this “romantic” date in town with the shy mage, holding hands, talking about magic and feelings, then you come back to the house and the busty swordswoman is already naked, sitting on your face, telling the mage to “stop being a prude and join in.” It turns into group sex so fast the music barely changes. One is riding your mouth, the other is bouncing on your dick, and a third one is just standing there, stroking you off when they swap places, because apparently everyone learned perfect handjob technique in goddess school. There’s anal, creampies, titfucks, random masturbation scenes when you’re alone and spying on them, and yeah, you get the standard “walk into the bath at the wrong time” thing, but they don’t even bother acting mad for long. My only real complaint is stupid: there’s one scene where a girl is stripping super slowly, removing gloves, boots, all that, and she never takes off this tiny ribbon on her wrist and it drove me insane. No idea why. Maybe that’s the real domination here, they own your attention more than your character. Anyway, if you pretend you’re here for “romance” while clicking straight to the next blowjob, I won’t judge. Much.

Under One Roof: Step by Step is that kind of story that looks innocent for like five seconds, then suddenly you are sitting in front of the screen thinking, “Ok, I really should not be this hard from doing laundry and talking about rent.” It is quiet, slow slice of life, nothing explodes, nobody has magic powers, and still it gets under your skin. You’re this guy sharing a small house with three girls, each one wired completely different, and the game just keeps throwing you into these everyday scenes that slide from cute to horny in this really sneaky way. Breakfast chat about coffee? Five clicks later you are staring at her bare thighs because she forgot the shorts. Or she “forgot.” The whole thing is mostly conversations, tiny choices, and watching how your relationship with each girl shifts when you say something sweet, or when you absolutely fuck up and joke at the wrong time.

What surprised me is how normal some of the sex feels. Not porn-normal, like real-life awkward normal. First time I got a vaginal scene with one of the girls, it was not all “instant pornstar mode.” There was the nervous small talk, her checking if the door is locked, you trying to unhook her bra and failing like an idiot for two tries. The game actually lets that moment breathe. You see her legs shaking, not from some fake screaming, but from tension and excitement, and when he finally slides in, she doesn’t moan like a hentai character, she gasps, stops, adjusts. Then later, when you finish inside her, the creampie is not just a money shot. She lies there, breathing heavy, looking at you with that “you really did that” face, and the whole mood is this mix of warm, dangerous, and slightly stupid. I liked that a lot more than I should. There are softer romantic routes too, with real build up, hand holding, quiet cuddling on the couch, stupid jokes that actually made me laugh out loud once, then the same girl later is sitting on your lap grinding slowly while teasing you that you get turned on too easy. Very realistic, very unfair.

The relationship system is simple but not brain-dead. You choose who you spend time with, who you tease, who you comfort when shit goes sideways, and the game remembers. Say the wrong thing in a dramatic moment and she closes off, and you feel it later when she pulls her foot away when your MC touches it under the table. Speaking of feet, the fetish stuff is not subtle at all. One of my favorite scenes is not even full sex, just her sitting on the bed in oversized hoodie, bare legs, asking you to massage her feet because she is “so tired.” You start innocent, then she places your hand exactly where she wants it, and it turns into this slow, filthy footjob that still feels like a private joke between lovers, not just a kink checklist. She rolls her eyes, calls you a perv, but does not stop. The funny thing, the humor and drama sometimes crash together in weird timing, like a heavy emotional scene followed by a goofy underwear argument, and it feels slightly off, but in a way that reminds me of real life when people cope by joking at the wrong second. UI is fine, nothing fancy, I kept clicking the wrong choice once because the hitbox felt weird and got mad for a moment, then forgot about it when she climbed on top of me and started riding slow while whispering how she doesn’t want the others to hear. It is that kind of game. One minute you are arguing about dirty dishes, next minute there is cum dripping out of her while she kisses you like she actually loves you. I believed it more than I expected.

Straight!? feels like some horny time traveler grabbed one of those old college slice of life anime, shoved it into a clumsy 3D engine, added dicks and awkward eye contact, then forgot to polish anything. And somehow it works. You start as Zack, this “totally straight” guy who narrates like he’s trying to convince himself as much as you. First day of college, new dorm, and suddenly there’s Braden, the roommate who looks like every “cute bro” meme on Reddit but talks like an actual dude, not some porn actor reading from a broken teleprompter. The story takes its time, way too much sometimes. Instead of jumping straight to cock in mouth, you get long nights on crappy dorm beds, shirtless stretching that lasts a bit too long, brushing teeth together, “accidental” eye contact at the worst times, and conversations that start with stupid jokes and end with “why the fuck am I thinking about his lips.” The whole thing is a slow corruption of Zack’s own idea of himself, mixed with self exploration in the most literal ways. Like you go from jerking off under the sheets trying not to think about your roommate, to having him straight up ask what you’re watching on your phone, and you feel that little panic in your chest, even though it’s just a visual novel.

The sex doesn’t pop out of nowhere. It kinda leaks in. A really long stare in the locker room, a dumb “I’ll help you shave” moment, then suddenly there’s a hand too close to your cock and the game just lets the silence stay there. When the first proper oral scene hits, it almost feels wrong, like you’re watching two dudes cross a line they built together over hours of talking about nothing. There’s anal, yeah, and it goes from “bro just helping out” to “I want to feel you” before either of them is ready to say it out loud. The romance lives in those tiny choices: do you look away or keep staring at his body, do you joke when he opens up about his past, do you touch his shoulder for one second too long. Sometimes the dialogue is clunky as hell, like someone typing in Discord while half horny and half insecure, and then out of nowhere you get a line that just hits you, because you remember that one guy from school you still stalk on Instagram. The 3D models are rough in early parts, like weird plastic dolls, but later scenes suddenly look better and you can almost feel skin where it used to look like wax. It’s inconsistent and kinda ugly in spots, which weirdly fits the story, because Zack is not some smooth porn fantasy. He jerks off alone, he freaks out, he says dumb shit, he pretends to be fine when he’s obviously falling for his roommate’s stupid smile. And even when you finally get to the heavy gay sex, it still feels like two idiots trying to figure out what they want from each other, not just bodies colliding. The game spends way too long on little things like brushing knees in bed or sharing a blanket during a movie, and not enough on big dramatic payoffs, but if you like that shaky first time feeling where lust and fear mix together until you can’t tell which is which, this thing nails it in the messiest way.
