There is this strange, heavy feeling when the game opens, like walking back into an old porn folder you forgot, but someone has replaced all cheap hentai with something that actually stares back at you. You are this ancient thing, Iraáil, a vampire god-thing, whatever, but tired as fuck. Not the sexy edgy teen vampire tired, more like “I’ve seen too much blood and too much bad sex and I’m bored of both” tired. The game sits you in that mood right away. You’re not chasing girls in school uniforms, you’re walking into the ruins of your own family, and everyone in it either wants to fuck you, kill you, or cry when they see you, sometimes all three in same scene. The writing leans hard into that mix of horny and awful. One moment you are licking blood off someone’s throat while their lover watches and shakes, half terrified, half desperate to be next, and the text lingers on the taste, the smell, the way their body softens under you. Then, in the next line, it hits you with “this is your child’s descendant” and suddenly your dick and your conscience are in the same small coffin.

What got me is how the erotic scenes never feel like they are in a separate folder from the rest. You make a small choice, like putting a hand on a shoulder instead of around the throat, and three scenes later someone is either on their knees for you, or sobbing and calling you a monster while still grinding against your leg. The game keeps score in this weird fear and love way, but it never throws a big popup, it just quietly warps how people look at you. There was this one moment where I chose to be “gentle” with a worshiper in a temple, just to see what the soft option looks like. It still ended in cum and blood on the floor, but the whole vibe flipped. Instead of them begging you to hurt them more, they were whispering that they missed you, like some fucked up immortal ex, and I actually paused, alt tabbed to Spotify, changed the playlist, came back and just stared at the text like “why am I sad with my pants down.” And the horror parts, they are not jumpscares, more like that slow “oh, I really did those things, huh” realization. When your progeny strips for you, showing bite marks you gave generations ago like holy scars, it’s hot in that dirty, stomach twisting way. You want to click further, you also want to close the browser and go touch grass. But you don’t. You pretend you will be kinder this time, then pick the cruel dialogue anyway, just to see how deep the rabbit hole of this fucked up immortal soap opera goes. The game remembers. The characters remember. Their bodies remember you most of all.

City girl, new campus, way too many cute women who really like dessert and bad decisions. That is the basic vibe here, except it gets kinky fast. You are this tiny thing from a small town, trying to be serious student, then suddenly you are in a dorm kitchen at midnight watching a shy bookworm slowly destroy a whole cheesecake because you told her she “deserves to relax a bit.” Her shirt is struggling, her belly is peeking out, and the game just lets you sit with it. Not in a hurry. You get those little pixel animations of her chewing, swallowing, then that tiny pause when she leans back and realizes, oh shit, her bra hooks are losing the war. And somehow it feels almost wholesome and also horny as hell at same time, which is very confusing in the best way.

What surprised me is how much of the kink is in the small choices. Like, it is not just “click here for bigger boobs.” You are picking stuff like “invite her for coffee” or “suggest dessert place one more block away” and it snowballs. Literally. One girl starts as this gym-obsessed queen who lectures you about macros. Couple of late-night study sessions, you keep nudging her toward snacks “just for energy,” and a few scenes later she is huffing while climbing stairs, pretending everything is fine, while her ass is pulling attention away from the whole campus. The writing is pretty simple, sometimes a bit clumsy, but it hits those little insecure lines that feel very real, like when she makes a joke about her jeans “shrinking in the wash” and you know she does care, but also she secretly likes how you stare. Some of the dialogue lands awkward as fuck, like a bad Tinder chat, yet I kind of loved that too. It fits the messy vibe of horny students who do not know what they want and still push for more cake.

The pacing is all over the place in a very human way. One date event takes forever, with you watching this artsy girl slowly unbutton her cardigan as her chest refuses to stay contained, her sprite updating just slightly each time you meet again, until suddenly she is buying clothes in a bigger size and pretending it is “just the style.” Then another route jumps from slim to “wow ok she is knocking stuff off the table with her tits now” in two scenes, like the game forgot to breathe. There is a tiny thing that annoyed me: the text box sometimes covers the best part of the sprite and I kept trying to drag it like in Ren’Py, except you cannot, so I just sat there grumbling at my screen like an idiot. On the other hand the pixel art has this lazy charm, not super polished, not trying to be Instagram-perfect. A little rough line here, a weird angle there, but the curves look heavy, soft, and you can almost feel the extra weight on their hips when they turn. Watching the girls change outfit to outfit, seeing how every skirt, every top stretches a bit more, becomes the real reward. If you want to squeeze the most juice from it, slow down, pick the indulgent options even when they look minor, re-visit scenes to catch the new details on their bodies, and let yourself enjoy every bite, every button popping, every moment where a girl pretends she is not turned on by the fact she cannot see her feet as well as before.

Lustful Years feels like reading someone’s dirty secret diary that accidentally got really long and really self-aware. You’re inside this young woman’s life while she stumbles through relationships, flings, “this is just casual, right?” moments that aren’t casual at all, and way too many scenes where she ends up on her knees before she figures out what she actually wants. It starts pretty soft, flirting and awkward tension, those little choices like “do I stay for another drink?” or “do I text him back?” and then you blink and she’s got her lips wrapped around some guy’s cock in a bathroom, trying not to make noise while her internal monologue is still going on about trust and love and all that shit. I like that, actually, that the erotic stuff doesn’t feel like separate scenes but like the same messy timeline where one stupid choice at a party can lead to her waking up sore between two warm bodies and wondering if she secretly loved it or secretly hates herself. The game doesn’t hold your hand, it just throws you into her head and expects you to be ok with how horny and insecure and selfish she can be.

The visual novel flow is the usual click-next thing, but it has that annoying habit where you misclick and skip a line you actually wanted to read, and of course there’s a “history” button but I never used it because I am stubborn. Sex scenes come out of conversations that feel a bit too real sometimes, like that moment when she finally stops pretending and just pulls his pants down, holding his cock with this weird mix of hunger and doubt, and the text is describing the taste and the warmth of his precum while she’s thinking if she’s doing this to feel loved or just not feel empty for a second. One route I took, she tried to be all romantic and “wait for the right moment,” and I still somehow ended up with her legs pushed open on a couch, panties half-off, moaning while he fucks her quick and rough because they “don’t have much time.” It’s hot, yeah, there’s detailed oral, messy swallow scenes, him thrusting into her pussy with that wet sound you can almost hear, but between the lines you can feel how fragile she is, or maybe I’m just projecting because I play these games instead of touching grass. Anyway.

What I really liked, then didn’t like at all, is how the choices about relationships are mixed with the choices about sex. You say something small like “I trust you” and three scenes later she’s on her knees again, gagging around his cock, tears in her eyes, and the narration is describing how she forces herself to take him deeper because she wants him to see her as “good enough.” It’s extremely erotic, yeah, but also kind of depressing in a way that turned me on more, which is probably not healthy. There are also sweeter paths, where a slow build-up leads to a tender blowjob on a bed with soft breathing and her fingers tracing his thighs, or a first time where he actually asks if she’s ok before sliding inside, and she moans anyway and grabs his back because “yes” is already obvious. The game pretends to be about love and heartbreak and all that romantic stuff, but the parts that kept me clicking were when she’s half-naked, hair a mess, lipstick smeared, mouth full, or riding someone with her nails digging into their skin, and afterwards the story tries to talk about consequences like we didn’t just spend five minutes reading about how warm it feels when he finishes deep inside her. At some point I forgot which route I was even on, I just followed whatever choice felt nastier, or softer, or just wrong for her, and watched the years pile up like empty glasses on a table.

This broke-ass protagonist hits you right in the feels, honestly. Like watching your buddy crash on couches after his life implodes, except this dude's got Disney princesses throwing themselves at him. The setup feels weirdly authentic - kicked out, wallet empty, desperately job hunting in some forgotten town where everyone knows everyone's business. Then boom, suddenly he's surrounded by Elsa wanting to Netflix and chill, Jasmine ditching Aladdin for some quality time, and Belle getting real creative with those library books. The whiplash between realistic struggle and fantasy fulfillment shouldn't work but somehow does? Maybe it's because the writing doesn't pretend this makes sense, just rolls with the absurdity.

What gets me is how they handle the Disney angle without being cringe about it. These aren't just copy-paste characters with new outfits - Pocahontas has actual personality beyond the noble savage trope, Mulan's got that warrior confidence translating into bedroom dominance, and Wednesday Addams brings her signature deadpan humor to some surprisingly kinky scenarios. The visual novel format lets them flesh out personalities between the steamy scenes. Though honestly, some dialogue feels clunky when they're trying too hard to sound modern while keeping character voices recognizable. Rapunzel's dirty talk sounds like she's reading from a script sometimes, but when Ursula starts getting freaky with those tentacles... damn.

The dating sim mechanics feel tacked on rather than integrated - you're mostly clicking through conversations waiting for the good stuff. Which is fine because the good stuff delivers hard. Chel from El Dorado absolutely steals every scene she's in, and the variety keeps things interesting even if some encounters feel rushed. Princess Tiana deserves way more screen time considering how much effort went into her character development. Still scratching my head over why they included Kidagakash from Atlantis - seems random but her scenes are surprisingly hot. Game's definitely not polished but the raw enthusiasm makes up for technical shortcomings.
