The way Katy looks at you when you come home late, smelling like someone else's perfume. That's the real gameplay loop here, not the detective stuff. Maria keeps dropping these little bombs about Mandy's dad and I'm sitting there like yeah yeah tragic backstory but also her top is literally see through right now. The video scenes are shot with this real model, blonde, and there's something about the lighting that makes everything feel like you're watching something you shouldn't be. Like finding an old tape hidden in the back of a drawer.

The choices are actually kind of brutal sometimes. Do I dig deeper into this family reunion mess or do I just... not? Katy's waiting at home with that look on her face and suddenly I'm a piece of shit boyfriend simulator 2024. The strip quest stuff is woven in weird, like sometimes it's a reward and sometimes it feels like a punishment? There's this one scene where you have to decide between following a lead or staying in and I genuinely stared at my screen for a solid minute. My Discord was pinging, ignored it completely.

The writing has these moments where it remembers it's supposed to be erotic and then immediately forgets again to talk about paperwork or something. It's jarring but in a way that works. Like real life where you're horny but also have to do taxes. The detective plot is actually more engaging than it has any right to be, even if half the time I'm just clicking through to get to the next scene with Maria. Her model is the reason I kept playing, not gonna pretend otherwise. That blonde hair and the way she leans forward when she talks about the case. I spilled coffee on my keyboard during one scene and didn't even clean it up until later. The quest structure is basically just picking dialogue options but the consequences actually matter for once in one of these games. Katy broke up with me in my first playthrough and I deserved it honestly.
