This time manipulation visual novel hits different when you realize the protagonist isn't some noble hero wrestling with moral dilemmas. Nah, he's basically a horny dude who stumbled into godlike powers and decides to use them for exactly what you'd expect. The whole "what would you do if you could stop time" premise gets real explicit real fast, and honestly? It's refreshing to see a game that doesn't pretend otherwise.

The yaoi elements blend surprisingly well with the fantasy setting - there's this whole magical academy backdrop that gives context to why time magic exists, but let's be real, nobody's here for the worldbuilding. When our MC discovers he can freeze moments and mess around with whoever catches his eye, things escalate quickly. The art style captures those frozen expressions perfectly, which adds this weird voyeuristic layer that works better than it should. Some scenes drag on too long though, like the developers got carried away with their own concept. The dialogue tries to be clever about the whole time paradox thing but mostly just serves as setup for the next steamy encounter.

What caught me off guard was how the game handles consequences - or rather, how it completely ignores them for most of the runtime. You'd think there'd be some cosmic punishment for abusing temporal powers, but the story seems more interested in exploring every possible scenario our time-stopping protagonist can get into. The fantasy elements feel almost secondary to the gay romance and explicit content, which isn't necessarily bad but makes the genre tags feel a bit misleading. By the end, you're left wondering if the whole time manipulation gimmick was just an excuse to create the ultimate power fantasy scenario. Works for what it is, I guess, but don't expect any deep philosophical questions about free will or temporal ethics.

The earthquake drill thing is such a weird plot device, honestly. Like, who thought "natural disaster simulation" would be the perfect meet-cute scenario? But whatever, it gets you roommates with Riley and that's where things get interesting. This femboy graphic designer has serious emotional baggage - the kind that makes you want to both protect him and corrupt him at the same time. His whole deal about being harassed and discriminated against feels real enough, even if the setup is janky.

Riley's got this vulnerable thing going on that hits different. He's not just some stereotypical uwu softboy - there's actual depth here with his insecurity about his work, his sexuality, his place in the world. The visual novel mechanics are pretty standard fare, nothing groundbreaking, but the writing around his character development surprised me. When he opens up about his past relationships and the shit he's dealt with, it doesn't feel like cheap trauma porn. Though I gotta say, some of the dialogue choices are weirdly specific - like why can I ask him about his skincare routine but not his actual job stress?

The adult content builds naturally instead of just throwing sex scenes at you every five minutes. Riley's sexual awakening feels earned, especially when he starts getting more confident and assertive. The art style works well for what it's trying to do, though I wish there were more clothing options during the... interactive moments. Also, why does every yaoi game have to make such a big deal about who's topping? Like, switches exist, developers. The emotional payoff when Riley finally trusts you enough to be completely vulnerable is genuinely sweet, even if the path there involves some questionable dialogue trees. Could use more variety in the intimate scenes though - feels like they ran out of steam halfway through development.

This one starts all soft and tragic, like some old countryside BL drama that somebody spliced with a horny RPG Maker fever dream. You’ve got two boys growing up in this busted farming village where everyone’s hungry and everything looks like it smells like wet soil. They swear they’ll love each other forever, super pure, super cheesy, you can almost hear some sad J‑pop playing. Then the queen shows up in the story like a total tax-obsessed psycho and just throws the whole village into this hellhole prison. It sounds serious, but the game doesn’t even pretend it’s classy. The “forced labor facility” is basically a dungeon where half the monsters are trying to kill you and the other half are trying to fuck you against a wall. Sometimes both.

The main guy, Rascal, runs away and starts training with this old man in another village, and that’s where the horny really turns up. The old guy looks like he should be giving magic tutorials, but the “training” feels like some kinky bootcamp. One moment you’re fighting slimes, next second a tentacle thing wraps around Rascal’s legs and yanks his clothes off, and the game doesn’t even wait. Cock out, censor bar slapped right on top like a joke, and the creature is rubbing, milking, slapping his thighs, dripping weird goo everywhere. It’s that classic Japanese censorship, so you see everything except the tiny part you actually want to see clearly. Normally that annoys me, but here it kinda works, because the rest of the CGs don’t hold back at all. Rascal’s face is flushed, drool at his mouth, abs tight, you can tell exactly what’s happening even if pixels are over the tip.

There’s a mix of boys, traps, futa and these soft femboy types that just show up as you go deeper into the story. Some monsters look like cute anime girls until they pin you to the floor and you realise they’ve got a thick dick or a nest of tentacles hidden under the dress. There’s this one fight in the prison where a monster girl with big tits and slick purple skin grabs Rascal by the hair, pushes him to his knees and makes him service her while her tentacles jerk him off from behind. The game still pretends to be about “love” and “rescuing his childhood crush” but it constantly throws him into situations where he’s moaning, begging, body giving in while his mouth says he wants to save his “beloved”. I liked that stupid contrast way too much. Also the romance is funny, because the core is this sweet promise between boys, but on the way you can end up getting railed by some buff yaoi demon who calls you “bride” and fills you until white stuff’s leaking down your thigh in the CG. The battle system is basic RPG but the way losing on purpose opens new scenes is the real meat here. Half the time I forgot I was supposed to be heroic and just let the monsters win to see what fucked up thing they’d do to him next.

You boot this thing up on your phone, thinking it’s just some light tennis VN with cute guys, and suddenly you’re sitting there trying to pretend your screen isn’t full of flustered muscle twinks talking about “practice” in a way that is very much not about improving your serve. It starts all innocent, like, “oh, college team, gotta keep your grades up, gotta train,” and two choices later you’re in a locker room, half naked, pretending you’re interested in racket brands while your teammate is basically eye-fucking you. In a good way. Mostly.

The vibe is very “gay college drama if everyone was horny and bad at hiding it.” You’ve got that main guy energy where you’re kind of lost but also surprisingly good at reading when someone wants your dick in their mouth. Some routes push you into slow burn stuff, like you keep running into the same dude after class, he helps you with homework, the tension just keeps building, and at some point you’re not sure if you’re more excited about passing exams or finally getting his cock in your ass. Then another path is just, boom, you’re on the court after hours, it’s sweaty, he’s frustrated about missing a shot, you try to comfort him, and it turns into him pushing you against the fence, grinding on you through your shorts while you’re trying not to moan too loud because someone might walk by. I opened Reddit on my other screen once mid-scene and just sat there like, “yeah, okay, this game is way filthier than it pretends to be.” Not complaining. Well, I am, but not about that.

Sex-wise it goes all in. There are handjobs that feel like they drag out forever in a good way, the kind where the text really leans into the small stuff: the lube noise, the pre cum, the way his abs tense when you twist your wrist just right. Masturbation scenes where you’re alone in your dorm, headphones on, trying to be quiet while thinking about that practice match where your doubles partner pressed his chest into your back “to correct your posture.” Then some of the guys are very into putting it in the back, and the game does not shy away. One route has you bent over a desk, your shirt still half on, tennis bag on the floor, his fingers opening you up while he whispers things in your ear that I absolutely cannot repeat on Discord without getting a mod ping. It’s hot, but it can also be weirdly sweet, like they’ll rail you, then ask about your midterms. Tone whiplash, but in a fun way. And yeah, the characters are furry, which makes it even more of a trip the first time a fluffy tail curls around your thigh while someone’s pounding you from behind. I still can’t take one guy’s ears seriously when he’s talking about “going deeper” yet here we are. There’s this tiny UI thing that annoys me, some tap targets are way too small on mobile and it pisses me off every single time, and then I forget because the next CG is your teammate jerking you off in the showers while you both try not to slip on the tiles. Anyway. It’s messy, horny, kind of dumb in places, kind of tender in others, and it absolutely knows what you’re here for even when it pretends to care about tennis technique.
