Review of [v0.35.1]
Android LIFE is one of those games that catch you off guard, I could never expected to play such funny and crazy experience and at the same time be completely engaged in the story and characters.
The story is bananas and the game isn’t even pretentious about the plot, it knows, and the vn fully embrace the situation, turning into something really enjoyable and genuine.
In a marvelous way, the game balances jokes and themes without feeling heavy or embarrassing.
Even with his setting the game manages to create a lore and a plot in its own style.
The characters surprised me.
At the beginning I thought they were some mere dominatrix puppets with some traits, the bully gyaru, the rich arrogant girl, the mad scientist and so on.
And then it subverted my predictions, characters get complexed and turn immediately likeable and unique (And some of them even memorable), the girl you disliked minutes before is now your new waifu, the seemingly stereotypical gyaru has a deep history behind her looks and personality, I confess I really loved how the game turned the tables.
The MC is also well made, he isn’t a crybaby coward or an emotionless pervert, he actually tries to have an active role in his passive state, both hilarious and relatable, he works exceptionally well in this femdom game.
But now we arrive at another best quality, this is the porn game of the internet jokes.
Its humor is dark, abstract, offensive and satirical, it’s the king of shitpost comedy, and these jokes are sewn organically in the interactions.
Usually most VNs here when mention media like shows or anime, they fell off flat, like they don’t belong in that imaginary world and are just a vessel to progress the dialogue without really telling anything to the player.
Here instead, I never felt that a reference or joke was out of place or even obnoxious, as I said before it handles the pacing of them.
If you aren’t into that kind of internet humor, the game not be for you, but since I am into it, I laughed multiple times happily.
The artstyle, as the developer notes say, it’s created with traced Koikatsu models, which can modify and draw new details, it is smoothly beautiful and fits with the background and scenes.
About the sex scenes, many teasing, grinding, feet and more will await you, it’s mostly light female domination for now, that is in line with the story, and are becoming hotter and sexier thanks to the dialogues and visuals.
Even romance bits are present, and they vary from wholesome to obsessively weird (not that I am complaining tho).
Even if the beginning is linearish, it slowly introduces choices and different approaches.
This vn is truly a great experience, I fully recommend it, if you are into dark internet humor, femdom and crazy plots, this is totally made for you, if you are not, give it anyways a try, there isn’t anything quite like it, it’s an unique marvel that keeps entertaining you till the end.
(And btw for the ending of this version, mad respect for the dev)
