Strange Nights feels like someone grabbed Life is Strange, spilled horny fanfic all over it, then decided “yeah, this is fine” and kept going. You play as Mark Jefferson, the photography teacher, but here he’s not just that creepy guy in the background. He’s the main bastard. You get these weird powers that let you mess with time, memories, choices, all that, and the game leans fully into the fantasy of a teacher with too much control over his students. It’s not subtle. One minute you’re grading photos, the next you’re rewinding a scene because you picked the wrong line that would have pushed a shy student a little deeper into your orbit. There’s this one moment in class where you casually compliment a girl’s shot, then rewind, insult it, then rewind again and choose the “neutral but suggestive” answer, just to see which timeline makes her more flustered later when she’s on her knees in your office. That’s the kind of sick little loop the game wants you to play with every choice.

The tone really hits that “fake respectable teacher, actual predator” vibe. You walk around the school acting professional, checking your phone like you’re bored, but every dialogue option is a fork into something darker: do you slowly corrupt the top student until she begs to be your good girl, or do you push the tough lesbian who hates you into a twisted dom role where she ends up riding your face while you pretend you’re the one in charge? The game loves flipping roles like that. Sometimes Mark is clearly the one pulling strings, using his power to make a girl forget she said no, or to rewind that moment where she slapped him for touching her thigh, just to pick the “right” path that leads to her swallowing his cum like it was inevitable. Other times, you think you are manipulating her, and suddenly you find yourself tied to a chair in the darkroom, hands bound, camera flash popping while a student uses a crop on your chest and sits on your cock like it belongs to her. I had Spotify low in the background and it actually synced pretty well with one scene in the dorm hallway, where you’re pushing this nervous student into choosing between licking your cock or getting her ass fingered first. I swear the beat dropped right when she opened her mouth. Totally not planned, but it felt like some cursed DJ mix.

Sex-wise the game doesn’t pretend to be romantic. Blowjobs are sloppy and transactional, like “you want that higher grade, don’t you?” while she gags around you and tries to keep eye contact. There’s a great scene in the classroom after hours where you use your power to freeze a moment, walk behind a girl at her desk, pull her panties aside, and push in slowly while time crawls forward again, so she feels you at the same instant the world unpauses and she moans way too loud for an empty room. Handjobs show up a lot too, usually as a teasing step, like the dom student stroking you painfully slow and denying you, calling you “sir” in that mocking way while she talks about how she used to respect you. Anal hits harder when it comes after a long string of corruption choices, like when that straight A girl who was all about “boundaries” is now bent over your desk, taking you in her ass while crying and thanking you for “guiding” her. There’s mind control woven into this, not super sci-fi, more like you nudge their thoughts so the line between their will and your pressure gets blurry as hell. And yeah, lesbian scenes are there too, sometimes soft and experimental between students, other times you basically stage them as your private porn, rewinding until you get the perfect angle of one student buried between another girl’s thighs while you jerk off quietly in the shadows. The whole thing feels wrong in exactly the way it wants to, like a corrupted save file of Life is Strange someone found on a very dirty hard drive.

Guy just wants to study abroad and suddenly he’s living in a whole ass porn fantasy. That’s basically the vibe here. You’re this young dude flying over to another country for college, and instead of some boring dorm full of sweaty nerds, you end up staying in the house of your mom’s best friend. She’s older, hot in that “I pretend I’m strict but I’m so obviously lonely and horny” way, and her daughter is right there too, same age range as you, cute, bratty, and watching everything you do. The game doesn’t even pretend to be subtle about it. One minute you’re dragging your suitcase into their hallway, the next you’re catching milky cleavage while she bends down to pick up your passport and the daughter’s leaning on the stairs in tiny shorts like, “oh, you’re the new guy?”

The nice thing is, it actually feels like a college-life mess, not just a sex menu. You wake up in this new home, you’ve got classes, campus bullshit, and your phone buzzing with texts. Maybe it’s the older woman asking if you’re coming home for dinner, maybe it’s the daughter sending you a half-accidental selfie where her bra strap is “totally slipping lol,” or some classmate from orientation hinting about a party. Half the time you’re trying to be a decent human, other half you’re thinking, ok, if I agree to help her with “yoga practice” in the living room while the daughter is upstairs, can I keep a straight face? Choices actually matter here, not in some giant complicated way, but little things: you say something too bold at breakfast, suddenly the mom’s blouse button stays closed later; you play it shy with the daughter, she starts poking at you harder, trying to get a reaction. I liked that one moment where you come home late from campus and catch the milf in the kitchen in just a T-shirt. If you pretend you didn’t see anything, she acts relieved but a bit frustrated. If you stare a second too long, her cheeks flush and the whole house tension cranks up next day. That tiny pause before you click is the good stuff.

Sex scenes? Yeah, the game doesn’t pussyfoot around. It builds up slow, then goes full-on. Vaginal, lots of grinding, kissing, hands all over. The bodies look thick and soft, like they actually eat and breathe, not plastic. Animations help a lot when she climbs on top of you, hips moving and you see her trying to keep her voice down because the daughter might hear. Or the reverse, when the daughter takes you to her “study corner” and suddenly she’s bouncing on your dick on that squeaky chair, whispering in your ear, asking if you like her more than her mom. It’s messy in a good way, with moans, wet sounds, a bit of hair pulling sometimes if you picked the bolder options earlier. Some scenes repeat with slightly different dialogue depending on how cocky or sweet you’ve been, which is cool, although sometimes you trip into a route you didn’t really want because one earlier choice was worded weird. The college backdrop actually shows up too: quick hookups after class in some empty room, flirting in the library while pretending to study, deciding if you want to be the gym freak, the campus ghost, or the guy everyone’s secretly fucking. It’s not perfect, some transitions feel like someone cut a scene in half with scissors, and the UI sometimes fights you when you just want to roll back one line, but when the milf is riding you on the couch with the TV on in the background and her daughter texts you at the same time, asking where you are, all that small shit kinda disappears. This whole thing feels like one long, horny “what if I actually went abroad and everything got out of hand” fantasy, and it leans into that fully.

Classes, homework, horny brain that cannot shut up. That is basically the vibe here. You play this dude who is supposed to care about lectures and grades, but his attention lives somewhere between his dick and the bouncing asses walking around campus. The game spends time on that little dead zone between “normal uni life” and “what the fuck did I just walk in on,” and it actually leans into the awkward student feeling. One minute you are in a boring classroom, teacher talking about something you will forget in two seconds, and the next you catch a glimpse of her bending over the desk in a way that makes you instantly forget how to breathe. The camera really loves big tits and big asses, like… worship-level love. There is a scene early on where you are just supposed to look for a textbook in the library, but of course you end up peeking around a shelf, watching a girl think she is alone while she slips her hand inside her panties. It is not subtle, at all. You can either pretend to be a gentleman and look away, or stay, hand in pants, breathing too loud, terrified someone will hear you. Guess which option feels more natural.

It plays like one of those visual novels where you click through dialogue and pray you do not pick the “idiot” answer. The fun part is how often a stupid little choice later drops a plot twist in your lap. You tease a shy student once, like just a dumb joke about her skirt, and hours later you find out she has a secret folder on her phone full of… you. Screenshots. From class. From the dorm. From that one time you thought no one saw you jerking off over your laptop. That hit kinda hard, not gonna lie. The game really likes voyeur stuff, and it does not always keep you in control. Sometimes you are the one peeking through doors. Sometimes you realize someone has been doing the same to you. That moment when you notice a hidden camera in the corner of the common room and remember how many times you adjusted your cock in your pants there? Yeah. Instant cold sweat and instant hard-on at the same time. It gets funny too, in a dumb horny way. There is this running gag where the MC keeps trying to act like a romantic lead, saying smooth lines he probably copied from some dating advice subreddit, and the girls just look at him like, “are you okay?” Then two scenes later they are grinding on his lap in a locked classroom while the teacher is right outside the door asking if everyone finished the assignment. The humor is kind of clumsy, some jokes feel like someone translated them twice through Google, but that actually matches the energy. Like a real uni life: messy, not polished, full of secrets you only learn because you stayed a little too long, watched a little too closely, and touched yourself when you really should not.

There’s this weird mix of horny chaos and “I should probably not be doing this” energy running through the whole thing, and it actually fits the story way too well. You’re a college guy dumped into this fancy private uni in the 9th City, which looks all clean and rich on the surface, but everybody either belongs to a gang, fears a gang, or is secretly fucking someone in a gang. Sometimes all three. Classes feel almost like background noise, like a side quest you keep forgetting, while you juggle shady meetings in parking lots, checking your phone for horny messages, and trying not to accidentally admit that yes, you know exactly who runs half the criminal shit in town because your name is on some of those spreadsheets.

What I liked is how your “student life” and your “crime adjacent life” crash into each other in small stupid ways. You’ll be in a lecture, pretending to care about some boring econ topic, and the girl next to you is asking about notes while her brother is literally the muscle for a local crew that wants to squeeze you. Then you go on a “study date” with her that turns into a blowjob in a hidden corner of campus, while your burner phone keeps buzzing with a message like “Boss wants an answer tonight.” The game never loudly screams “this is a moral choice!” but it keeps throwing you into situations where you have to decide if you want to act like a normal horny student, or like the guy who knows where the bodies are buried. Sometimes both at once. Sometimes in the same scene. Which is kind of hot and kind of fucked.

The sandbox thing works and also kinda doesn’t, which I know is not helpful but that’s how it feels. On one side, you can wander around the city, check out different districts, visit the campus, some shady bars, a strip club that pretends to be “exclusive,” and slowly find all the side scenes. On the other side, there are moments where the game just sits there like “figure it out, genius” and gives you almost no hint what to trigger next. One time I spent way too long clicking around the university courtyard just to make a side character appear so I could push her route from “flirty” to “I’ll suck you off between classes.” When it finally worked, the payoff was pretty damn nice, but also, why did the flag depend on visiting a random office twice after lunch? I still have no clue, and the game just shrugs and moves on.

Sex scenes mostly lean into that power vibe without going full cartoon edge. You’re not a brainless thug, you’re the guy who knows people who send brainless thugs. So when you fuck someone, there’s always that tension that if they found out who you really are, they’d either freak out, use you, or spread it around campus. There’s a great moment where you’re balls deep in a girl from a rich family on a leather couch in some private lounge, she keeps talking shit about the gangs in the city, and you can choose to stay quiet or tease her with hints about “knowing more than you should.” It hits this nice mix of dirty, risky and kind of funny, especially if you’re the type who likes corruption but also enjoys watching people talk themselves into bad decisions. And sometimes the game just throws in a quick fuck in a bathroom with almost no build up at all, like it forgot it’s supposed to be careful. Which actually feels right for this kind of world.

It’s not a polished experience where everything is neat and clean. Some scenes cut a bit rough, some characters show up once with a hot moment and then vanish like you imagined them. The management side where you deal with money and influence connected to your secret ties is there, but the game sort of tosses numbers at you and expects you to slowly learn by messing up. I kinda liked that and also cursed at it. At least the city feels dirty in the right way, the university feels like a pressure cooker full of horny idiots pretending to be respectable, and you’re stuck right in the center trying to keep your secret while your dick keeps voting against common sense. If you want to squeeze the most out of it, poke everything, be nosy, push boundaries with characters even when you think “nah, this is a bad idea,” and maybe keep a mental note of who is connected to which gang. Or don’t. Watching it all blow up in your face can be pretty fun too.
