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.

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.
