Bindr feels like someone mashed together a horny LinkedIn, a dating app and a BDSM diary, then gave you god mode and said “ok, you’re the guy who *made* this thing, now go ruin lives nicely”. You’re not some random broke loser swiping right on bots, you are the dev, the puppet master, the dude with the master key to the kink vault. Every profile you open is like spying on a different fetish ecosystem: rich brats who want to be treated like property, smug dommes that talk like they own your spine, “good boys” pretending they don’t crave humiliation while their tag list screams the opposite. The whole thing plays like a dating sim that forgot to be shy, where the romance route and the “put a collar on me and make me your slave” route are almost the same, just with different levels of lube and crying. You go from flirty texting to “here’s my toy box, pick something and tell me what you’ll do to me” way faster than any real app ever would, which honestly feels more honest than Tinder.

What I like is how it lets you switch vibe without asking permission. One chat you’re this smooth caring dom, praising her, teasing, spanking just enough so her ass matches the blush on her cheeks, then in the next match you’re the one getting dragged by a ruthless CEO type who uses her heels like negotiation tools and treats your balls like a poorly performing department. One girl suck you off in a quiet, almost sweet way, eyes up, hair tucked, and the scene feels romantic. Later there’s a tag combo of anal, multiple penetration and humiliation that basically goes “romance is cancelled today” and the same app suddenly feels like a porn dungeon with a search bar. Sometimes you think “ok this is too much”, like when a scene tries to mix cuddly romance talk with hardcore slave play in the same breath and your brain is stuck between “aww” and “oh fuck that’s rough”. There are moments where the BDSM feels more like checkbox porn than real power exchange, like someone went “we need footjob, throw it in here between the handjob and the creampie and don’t think about pacing”, but then the next match has this quiet little blowjob scene where she’s the one in control just by slowing down and staring, and it hits harder than all the whips. Also, tiny thing that drove me crazy: the way the in-game app noises pop at weird times, like a notification chime right when you’re about to finish a scene, completely killing the mood, and then it never stops doing that, like a horny Outlook calendar that hates you. You’ll be mid-anal, mid-slurping, mid-groping, trying to decide if you want to be the gentle romantic or the cruel bastard, and the game just throws another Bindr ping in your ear like “hey, stop cumming, new match”. Honestly, I kind of love it. And I don’t. At all.

It begins like it wants to be about family, but then it just… doesn’t behave. That first evening, when David stares too long at his coworker’s neckline, the game pretends it’s about choice, though every click exposes a new shade of self-deception. There’s something oddly literary about watching these people unravel: both of them pretending they’re still in control while the text just keeps baiting you with small, filthy possibilities that feel too intimate to resist. I remember getting stuck on a scene where Anna walks past the neighbor’s window wearing basically nothing, because she’s bored, or angry, or maybe trying to remember she’s desired. You don’t know. The narration doesn’t tell you. And that’s the best part - it’s dirty, but also confusing, like real jealousy. You’ll think you hate everyone in it, then suddenly feel sorry when someone moans at the wrong moment.

Sometimes it feels like reading a private diary someone left open on Steam by mistake. There’s a quiet, slow burn at first - teasing, staring, little violations that shouldn’t matter - but the pacing keeps tripping over its own guilt. The erotic bits come fast, almost abrupt, and the author doesn’t even try to clean them up. It’s clumsy in spots: a sloppy handjob described with too much sincerity, an argument that ends with spanking and shame instead of resolution. The whole cheating thread gives that sickly pleasure where you’re complicit but can’t stop. When pregnancy slips into the plot, it doesn’t feel planned - like the story just lost its way in the middle of the night and forgot what moral it was chasing. Someone on the dev’s Discord said it’s “romance with rot,” and that weirdly fits. You can tell it was written by a person who doesn’t trust love but still wants to taste it through someone else’s mess.

I think what kept me playing wasn’t the sex at all (though there’s milking - take that however you like), but the voyeuristic awkwardness. You’re watching a marriage decompose in slow motion and occasionally pressing “Continue” just to see if they’ll humiliate themselves even deeper. It’s ugly, honest, sometimes hot, sometimes exhausting. I closed the window and still caught myself thinking about Anna’s face when she realizes someone’s watching.

Clara Loft shows up on screen and you instantly know the game is not pretending to be “serious archaeology”. She opens her mouth, that smug British accent hits you, and suddenly you’re way less interested in lost temples and way more curious about what’s under the shorts that are absolutely not work-appropriate. The whole thing feels like some horny fan project that escaped from a Discord server and grew just enough muscle to become a real game. In a good way. Mostly. You’re the new assistant, which sounds important, but quickly turns into “guy who carries the bags, gets insulted, and maybe, if he plays his cards right, ends up with his cock somewhere near those ridiculous tits.” The story acts like it’s about relics and curses and puzzles, but half the time it’s just an excuse to put Clara in one more situation where her ass is sticking out while she complains she “can’t quite reach”. Sure, professor. Of course you can’t.

The teasing is honestly the main event here. She talks a lot, and it’s actually voiced, not that weird text-to-speech flat stuff. She’ll roast you for staring, then lean forward anyway, then pretend she doesn’t notice your character literally masturbating in the tent while she’s humming on the other side of the canvas. There’s this one scene where you’re supposed to be guarding some artifact and instead end up watching her bathe through a hole in the wall. That moment is so stupidly predictable and still works. She keeps doing that “half annoyed, half amused” thing, like she knows exactly what you’re doing with your hand. And yeah, the game does not shy away from going all the way. Blowjobs, handjobs, riding you until her tits bounce way past realistic physics, sliding them around your cock like she’s trying to polish a trophy, and eventually some heavier stuff if you keep pushing her down the more corrupted path instead of playing the sweet gentleman. It leans into parody, so one second she’s moaning in your ear, next second she’s cracking some meta joke about “player choices” while you’re balls deep in her ass. Completely ruins the mood and somehow makes it hotter.

Mechanically, it’s like a horny choose-your-own-mistake adventure with some actual puzzles sprinkled in just to make sure you’re not clicking with one hand the whole time. A few of the “combat” bits feel like they exist only so the dev can say, see, this is a real game, not just porn, look, there’s a health bar. Nobody is fooled. The AI art gives everything this slightly off, dreamlike vibe where Clara’s boobs seem to grow a bit from one scene to the next and you’re not sure if it’s the supposed “breast expansion” angle or just the model losing its mind. Sometimes her face shifts a little weird mid animation and it’s like she’s turning into a different hot cousin for half a second. I kind of liked it, even while my brain was going, what the hell, pick a version and stick with it. Also, small complaint: there is one button in the UI that looks like it should open a proper settings menu but only gives you like three options and none of them are the one you want and it irritated me way more than it should. Anyway, if the idea of a smug, big-titted archaeologist slowly turning into your personal plaything while she pretends to still be in charge sounds fun, this thing absolutely leans into that fantasy and then trips over its own jokes, stands up, and shoves your dick between her boobs again.

You start as Jon, 22, already a fuckup before the game even lets you move. On parole, broke, stuck in this cramped apartment that looks like it smells like old pizza and shame, with a mom that would probably cross the street to not see you and sisters who pretend you never existed. Then it just throws an alien at you. Not some big epic heroic shit, just this weird little creature dropping in like “hey, your life is trash, wanna hunt a brain parasite and maybe not die?” and suddenly you’ve got this thing buried in your skull and a 15 day time loop to play with. That loop is the real filth engine. You mess up, everyone hates you, or you fuck the wrong person at the wrong moment? Reset. You keep your info, they don’t. So day 4 you’re awkward, day 9 you are basically reading their mind, day 13 you are planning exact dialog to get into their pants and still hit story flags. It feels like Groundhog Day if Bill Murray only cared about pussy, parasites and trying to not go back to jail.

The whole school part hits different because you’re not a kid. You’re older, but the world still treats you like the same loser, and you slide into this campus vibe where everyone is either stressed, horny, corrupted by the parasite, or all three at once. Classes barely matter, what matters is who you sit next to and what you already know from last failed loops. That girl you barely got a smile from in one run? Next loop you know exactly what drama she has with her roommate, so suddenly you are the “understanding guy” and five minutes later you’re on her bed, watching her experimenting with another girl while you pretend it’s the most normal thing. Les scenes actually feel like they build from the drama, not just “girls kiss now because porn.” One time I triggered this event where two of them are arguing over some parasite-induced jealousy, and if you say just the right shitty manipulative line, it flips into a nasty makeout session that ends with you fucking one while the other rides her face. And if you say the wrong line, they just storm out and you’re left alone with your dick in your hand and the clock still ticking.

There is something very wrong in how good it feels to use the loop on your own family. Your mom starts as this cold wall of pure disappointment, and the first time you push her too far she just slaps you and throws you out. Reset. Next run, you are careful, a little kinder, a little more helpful, and the parasite stuff gives you excuses to “check on her.” That slow slide from angry MILF energy to her actually leaning on you is nasty in the best way. First cleavage peek when she bends over the table, then “accidental” touches, then she’s in the shower, door not fully closed, and you already know her routine from last loops so you time everything to walk in at the right second. When it finally crosses the line and she lets you fuck her, it’s not sudden. It’s this built-up wrong closeness that makes it feel extra dirty, especially when the game lets you go straight for anal on a later loop because now she “trusts” you more. It hits you like: yeah, I engineered this. Same with the sisters, each with their own attitude. One run you barely get a hug, another run you are double penetrating one of them with an alien toy in her ass while she whimpers “don’t tell mom” and it’s like, bro, the line is not just crossed, it’s vapor.

The sci-fi stuff is not just there for excuse, it mixes into the sex in pretty fun trashy ways. The device in your brain lets you lean into corruption, and some of the parasite events twist people’s personalities to the point where you can set up these crazy swinging scenes. One of my favorite runs, I dropped a hint here and there, nudged jealousy in the right direction, and ended up in this group thing with older women and younger girls in the same house, everyone infected in different stages, sharing you like a toy. There is this one scene where you are in the middle of a messy interracial threesome on a couch, the alien is chiming in your head with dry comments while you go from pussy to ass and back again, and it somehow feels normal inside the loop. You can stack vaginal, anal and oral like you’re doing a checklist, but it doesn’t feel like “achievement unlocked,” more like “I abused time travel to get this exact line-up of wet holes in one evening.” I did wish the simulator parts were deeper at some points, like, the money stuff starts strong and then just sort of exists, but then you’re balls-deep in some swinging scene and forget you were ever thinking about rent. The game keeps doing that. Annoy you a bit, then drop another diseased, looping, taboo fuckfest in your lap and your brain just goes, yeah ok, one more run.
