Ayame Sawada is a very perverted woman with a very powerful sex drive. The problem is though, that she really does not want to be that kind of woman. This is the key conflict throughout the 20 different endings for Fleeting Iris.
While many people look at these kinds of games and just see fap material (which is understandable) I think Fleeting Iris is more then that. Don't get me wrong I did find many of the H-scenes to be very arousing. Ayame herself is an absolute bombshell babe of course. So I bet people will love seeing all the different scenes she finds herself in. The art took some getting used to for me since its not a style I usually look for, but it is well done, and I came to enjoy it very much.
With that said, what really stands out in this game for me is the stories and characters. Ayame's struggle is framed very well as a struggle about denying who you are. Several people Ayame meets continue to challenge her notions of what kind of person she should be. About if she really wants to be the prudish puritan that society says she should be. There are even scenes where she speaks to a therapist about these kinds of struggles and the game gives a pretty thoughtful answer to them.
Fleeting Iris is a fairly open game that gives the player many choices to decide what path Ayame's life will take. The 20 different endings in 10 different routes that all happen based on the things the player chooses to do. All of these are very well written and cover a wide range of what to expect. Ayame can stay focused on her love of her new fiance who constantly works over time and leaves her alone and unsatisfied, or she can find ways to indulge her desires and eventually come to terms with herself. Some routes will actually feel quite wholesome, while others will take you on such a roller coaster of emotions that you will feel completely overwhelmed by what just happened.
There is a morality system that goes down as you find more ways for Ayame to sate her desires, lower morality can unlock more scenes and more endings.
If I had to pick one complaint it would likely just be that there are a few times where Ayame seems a bit too naive. Though it is expected since not only is Ayame trying to be the nicest most forgiving person she can be, but also she has the whole country girl in the big city vibes. So the naivety could be excused, especially since many situations just wouldn't happen if she didn't have that naive side. It all still plays out very well and rather believable I think.
All and all this is quite the experience that really spoke to me about how much we should or should not value the traditional ideals of what relationships and sexual encounters should be like. Its worth playing through for anyone that cares more about a h-game with a deeper story and meaning to it.
