You start with this half-dead hotel that looks like it smells of cheap cleaner and old sex, and somehow it becomes this weird little universe where every floor has a different flavor of horny drama. It looks like a normal dating sim at first, like “oh yeah, I’ll just talk to the girls, raise some stats, classic stuff”, and then three scenes later you’re holding a trembling elf maid by the hips while she tries to act all proper and obedient and ends up squirting all over the new bedsheets you saved up to buy. And you’re thinking: ok, I just wanted romance, why is there a menu option for nipple clothespins in the housekeeping budget. But you still click it.

The hotel thing works too well. Everyone is under your roof, so you bump into them doing absolutely everything. You go into a hallway thinking you’re just going to check repairs, and you catch one girl “cleaning” a window with her tits pressed against the glass, tongue out, full ahegao, while someone down in the street could totally see her. It counts as voyeur and exhib stuff at the same time and the game doesn’t even wink at you, it just lets it happen, like yeah, this is just Tuesday here. You can be the pure romance guy and still the world keeps trying to corrupt you. There’s a religious girl praying in one scene, acting shy like a virgin, and later you’re there timing her orgasm denial with your phone while she begs for just one more thrust and you’re like, ok, maybe I’m not “pure” anymore. I kept telling myself I’m avoiding the nastier paths, and two minutes later I’m watching a lactation event where I was only trying to give comfort and suddenly there’s warm milk and a helpless girl calling you “master” in this shaky voice. Total accident. Kind of.

What really got me is how your role shifts without a big “you are a trainer now” sign. One moment you’re like a soft-spoken manager who buys cute maid outfits and simple cosplay ears, the next you’re running what is basically a private bdsm spa on the top floor, where you decide who gets the collar and who just gets spanked until their ass is bright red and they can’t sit in the café. Some girls push you around too, it’s not just male dom. There’s a yandere type that goes from clingy to “if you fuck anyone else I’ll break their legs” energy, and she rides you so hard you legit feel like the slave instead of the trainer. Then later the same night another girl kneels down in the lobby and gives you a slow, careful blowjob like it’s a love letter, and you remember why you came here for romance at all. But then there’s some fucked up family route on the side, anal stuff mixed with “we shouldn’t do this” whispers, a footjob in the laundry room, a titfuck in the elevator when the doors keep almost opening, group sex in a suite where everyone’s moaning your name at once, and somewhere in the middle of that mess you’re still checking income stats on your phone and thinking about upgrade costs like an idiot. The hotel keeps growing, the harem keeps getting bigger, some girls get their breasts reduced while others suddenly swell up like a fantasy elf breeding project, and you’re walking around your own building knowing exactly which room has a girl quietly masturbating, which one hides a camera for your voyeur habit, and which bed has fresh cum drying in the sheets because you didn’t even bother with pulling out after that last creampie. It’s romantic in the trashiest way, and trashy in a way that somehow still feels kind of sweet.

Autumn City feels like somebody mashed High School DxD, a chuuni light novel, and a Pornhub playlist in Koikatsu, forgot to clean it up, then said “yeah, that’s fine”. You’re in the shoes of Hiro, a pretty typical magic student type, caught between demon hunting, bureaucratic bullshit from “The Organization”, and two heroines who absolutely refuse to keep their sexual tension at a normal level. The game pretends to be about terrorism and supernatural crime, but then you’re five minutes in and suddenly you’re watching Kana, the tsundere mage, yelling at you for being a pervert while her hand is already on your dick. It’s that kind of tone all the time. The structure is a Renpy VN, but it keeps throwing you into these little combat scenes where you’re chasing demons across some farm world like a horny Dante who got lost on the way to Devil May Cry and walked into a doujin instead. The first world, the Wilde Ivy farm, has no right being as horny as it is for a place with cows and hay bales.

What really sells it is the combination of 3DCG Koikatsu style and voice acting. Kana’s voice is pure poison in the best way: she does the whole “I don’t like you, idiot” routine while moaning her lungs out in an ahegao during a blowjob scene, and it just screams light novel parody. One of my favorite moments: you just finished a sloppy titfuck with her in a barn, she’s panting, your cum all over her chest, and she still tries to scold you about “professional behavior as an agent”. Then the game swings hard into NTR land and suddenly those same tits are bouncing on some demon’s cock because you took the “wrong” path. The cheating / netorare stuff is not subtle at all. There’s a scene where you get literally knocked out in combat, wake up in some fantasy side-area, open the Extras Gallery later and realize there’s a whole anal and group sex chain you didn’t see where Angie and Kana are getting used while you’re gone. The game basically grins at you and goes, “yeah, that happened while you were being useless”. It gives you a “vanilla / NTR scenario” choice, but the line is blurry: even the so-called vanilla path still teases you with the idea that these girls could get stolen if you slip. Some people will hate that, some will… let’s say, need a new keyboard. The oral scenes are everywhere: handjob with whispered dirty talk in one world-jump transition, deepthroat blowjob as a “reward” after a successful combat encounter, Kana masturbating while spying on you, Angie stuck in an older, more “milf-coded” role that really pops during a threesome where she instructs Kana how to ride you properly. Group sex scenes suddenly escalate into full-on multiple penetration with demons while you watch, and the game doesn’t shy away from showing your character getting hard from that. The weirdest part is how it will jump from “serious” talk about protecting Autumn City and fighting terrorists to a goofy ahegao close-up during vaginal and anal combo play, like the scriptwriter got distracted by Pornhub tabs halfway. I kept thinking of “The Monk” by Lewis, all that religious guilt and temptation stuff, except here the confession booth is a haystack and the punishment is another blowjob. The combat and adventure parts are there mostly to justify why you keep jumping into new worlds full of excuses for sex, but sometimes they actually land a cool line or magic effect and you forget for a second this is mainly about watching your waifu get fucked in every possible way, with or without you. Then the next scene loads, Kana is drooling around a cock again, and the illusion politely dies.
