Unity - Problematic Subjects [v1.1.1] [Babus Games]

Great game! There's some randomness, but it's not a hindrance, rather interesting and engaging. The animations are pretty cool, the detail is great, but I'd like more options or poses. The game mechanics are simple, the progression logic is straightforward, but some skills seem completely unnecessary, like the massage in the second stage. I'm eagerly awaiting further updates; I've subscribed.

A rare three star where I actually still fully recommend that you play it. Problematic Subjects is not a game that is trying to be anything large, or truthfully, anything super original. What it actually is, is pretty solid, with a few awful caveats.

The animations in the game are good, and the general progression and likes/dislikes system for scenes and characters adds a level to the gameplay that makes it more interesting to play than its' inspirations (mainly, Barely Working.) I like the ongoing mini-stories for each character and seeing new dialogue with every day that passes in the game.

However, there are some immense flaws in the game that hurt my overall enjoyment a LOT. Particularly, the energy and the "true end" systems. If you don't play your first session of Problematic Subjects perfectly, you're forced to restart the game from DAY 1, losing all of your skills and upgrades and playing through the same exact storylines again. This game is... not that replayable. I never made it to the infirmary level.

Additionally, if you ever run out of energy mid-run, your day ENDS INSTANTLY and you are FORCED to the next day. The game's storylines do not account for you missing any content in a day, so if you ever fuck up (or get screwed over, like I was) then you lose out on the progression of all the characters for that day with no way of repeating it. I was absolutely scammed by the energy system, because I recognized that you gain more energy as your horny bar levels up. Turns out, if you expend your energy on a skill that WOULD level your horny bar up, you DON'T GET THE ENERGY before you get game-overed.

My last minor nitpick; The game has too much downtime. Problematic subjects has fake waiting in-between each scene in order to simulate the students taking time to reach your office. It's pointless, and is riddled by useless emails that are either a nod to or a complete rip-off of the emails you get in Barely Working. The difference between the emails in Barely Working and Problematic Subjects is that they actually serve a gameplay purpose in Barely Working, slowing down your progress and influencing if certain characters would show up. Problematic Subjects has no mechanics behind the emails. They're ONLY there to fill time and slow down the game.

Overall, the core game, animations, and story of Problematic Subjects is solid, but my main gripe is that the game is forcibly lengthened for no reason, making you feel as if you're wasting your time. The game does this by forcing you to wait around for students and read useless emails, or make you replay the game altogether just to see the end content. With very small tweaks, this game could have been a 4.5 star game for me. Unfortunately, it's more like a 3. All that said, I still recommend you give it a go. It's better than a lot of the other slop on this website.

good pacing and hella sexy protagonists, though i'd love for the restriction of which action i can choose to be less restrictive.
The limit of selection is often frustrating if you already have the perfect action learned, because even infinite skill, strategization and memorization you can be forced to get suboptimal outcomes.
The downtime between students is quite entertaining and i find it NOT distracting, but i'd love to see it have more of an impact on story (roleplay) or gameplay.

Great game. The gameplay doesn't feel too repetitive, a bit of effort is needed (you gotta remember the student's preferences, but there are guides for that), and you get pretty well rewarded in the end.

The scenes are really hot, and women, even more so. Busty not to the point of absurd, and really fucking curvy as well. And in an age where tits the size of wheel exists, this is a godsend.

That said. The bad:

1. The spam emails. They're annoying as fuck. They don't serve the game in any shape or form other than to annoy the players.

2. The texts in the ending scenes is cringeworthy. Lines like "Sabrina muttered", "He yelled", and many more. It reads too superfluous, and novel-esque, which doesnt fit the game.

Ideas for the dev.

1. Either find a way to connect the spam emails as part of the core gameplay, or have them transition with just a click instead of hovering to the choices themselves

2. The texts in the ending section needs to be heavily reworked. No need for dialogue tags for when the characters speak. Just their own lines, and then a bit of summary that doesn't feel too third-person perspective.

OVERALL RATING: 4.2 / 5

It would be a great game except for one thing.....

I don't wanna have to 100% a level to get to the next level. Thats just not fun. This is a porn game for pete's sake

Animations are great, the game mechanics are great. But i am not restarting a game a bunch of times just to get the perfect start.

Good luck but no thanks

A game that understands its role as a fun romp flash-like and commits to the bit. Very similar in scope and style to Hardly Working, but executed differently (imo slightly better).

The art and the voice acting is excellent, there were no major bugs, and the only real downside is the tutorial and tooltips are a little lackluster.

I liked the game . nice animations , the gameplay is simple but fun and addictive.

would be nice to :
- possibility to randomize student's preferences. Because once they are discovered the game becomes too straight forward.
- additional/ multiple endings.

Short but sweet. Very charming, love the art style and animations, even if they are pretty simple.
Very fun protagonist, good humor and interesting if simple gameplay.
Most hentai games have either no gameplay or copy-and-paste JRPG combat, so I really appreciate when people know their stuff and design the gameplay to fit the medium.
I really hope the devs continue this project. Loved my brief time with it

Short. Fun. Consistent. A surprisingly really good game. I hope the devs keep this project and adds lots of content, cause for its game formula, has a lot of improvement space. Right now, a 3.5-4 stars of 5, but, I'll give it 5 hoping they keep updating and the game reaches its maximum potential.

The game is a really fun experience overall. The animations are smooth and well-crafted, making every scene feel alive and engaging. The gameplay is entertaining, keeping you hooked with its light but satisfying mechanics. On top of that, the music adds a nice touch, creating an atmosphere that feels both playful and immersive.


It would be great to see the teacher character in other situations and different scenarios in the future — there’s a lot of potential to expand on this and make the experience even richer.

Excellent game. I like it when sex is a game mechanic and not something you get as a reward after playing for a while. I look forward to updates to the game, although it's pretty good right now. I love free use sex games.

This is an amazing initial release. Great animations, VA, and concept. Yes, it is a bit of luck / memory, but it does make the reward worth it. I do definitely want more from this game (gallery, endless, more characters and themes) and hope the dev continues working on it!

As many have already pointed out, this is a great game that looks great, but it's not clear how they'll improve this concept. Original gameplay, although it relies heavily on replayability, is visually very attractive and offers interesting replayability even though it's in its early stages.

A low control (random draw, select one) scene viewer.
It's like "Barely Working" but worse, given the spam-mails don't actually mean anything.

Could have been at least slightly interesting if there was a way to keep track of preferences rather than guess the first time and remember forever.

It's a pretty short game, but it's also just a porn game so you'll gt over it after you nutted. And nut you will, because this game doesn't beat around the bushes : no grind, no bs story, just a perverted slut (god bless her) suckin and fuckin horny students, and that's five star from me. go mets!

A very good, well animated short game. I would like to see some more games like this. It also has a good variety of positions. It doesn't have a lot of dialogue but I think that's ok for short games like these

Art: 4.5/5
The art is cute and light hearted which matches the game's tone. It's usually hard to do "Playful" right in porn games but Problematic Subjects knocks it out of the park. Animations are great.

Porn: 5/5
Great game that is sexy and erotic throughout. You reply to sexy e-mails to help set the mood. The teacher will start touching herself at high enough horny. Lots of details and atmospheric vibes that all work together.

Story: N/A
But see Porn for mood setting, which this game excels at.

Gameplay: 4/5
Simple and straight to the point. It's hard to find big complaints with the demo. Just waiting to see if a full version can keep consistently delivering (or if a 2nd game does the same) for the full 5/5.

Strongest Part:
Cum stains on the couch and being able to play the teacher as a slut that still enforces rules like no swearing.

Weakest Part:
The students are kind of samey and replay value is pretty low given it's so short.

A very fun, well made demo that could probably stand as it is as a full release.

The game looks excellent: the animations are simple but high quality, and the art style perfectly matches the light-hearted but sexy tone of everything. The only thing I could ask for in the visuals department is simply more content to see because it looks so good.

The gameplay is simple but engaging enough. You have to figure out what sorts of things each character likes (are they dominant or submissive, do they like tits or ass more, etc) and use an appropriate position. It takes a little trial and error to find the best combinations for each character, but it's pretty intuitive and obvious what most of them are after. I don't know how much I like the fact that the upgrades are gained at random, as it can limit how high a score you can realistically achieve early on. And as you get more positions you run the chance of not being "dealt" the best position in your "hand", but those are minor gripes. Some kind of endless mode where you can keep playing with all your unlocks to go for perfect runs would be a great addition to a final release.

The audio is simple and does its job. SFX and music are non-intrusive, and the VA's moans are lovely to listen to.

All up it's a game that knows what it wants to be and nailed the execution. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel, it's just making what it is as great as it can be, and I highly respect that. If the full release was just this demo but more of it, that'd be a homerun in my mind. Great stuff.

Short and sweet, just like most of our experiences with sex!

Really, this rogue-like sex game trend is pretty interesting and fun. Not an epic, engrossing story but enough to bust and think about a fantasy.

I love the gameplay. The animations are really good as well. Hopefully, there's gonna be more levels in the future and sex positions. Looking forward to this game.
