On f95zone, novel takes on standard porno narratives usually involve stupidly convoluted plots and weird grandstanding about 'focussing on the story instead of sex'. This game subverted my expectations re the landlady blackmail genre, but in a good way. Dialogues and characters are enjoyable, and the dev seems to have made a genuine effort to keep the creepiness down to a minimum (instead of, as is typical, substituting it for over-the-top simpy antics devoid of personality or will).
The formula is altered just enough to make it interesting without tipping over into 'story-driven' nonsense. You get a black guy protag who is socially competent instead of the usual 13-on-18 autistic white male. And a girl in the role of the tech whiz bff, who thankfully isn't secretly madly in love with him while being mean and bitchy on the outside. Even the stepmom is humanized to an extent.
Gfx could be better, and there are no sex scenes yet. Some more content in the first release woulda been nice. To summarize, I am (honestly) pleasantly surprised at how little the game annoyed me. 4 stars for the effort and the very best of luck to the dev.
