My main problem with the game is that it evokes an expectation with regard to the power dynamic between applicants coming into the office in order to gain passage and the PC who "holds the keys" as it were. This expectation is not met at any point and in any way.
There is no negotiation or "dealing" involved, i.e. no trading passage for favors (sexual or otherwise). I found that extremely disappointing.
Instead, there is basically only one useful game choice the player can make:
buy the perfumes and the gadgets and then you are king in your office and will rule absolutely over the applicants. From the moment they enter they are already slaves. With the stress bar mitigated, they will not resist, they will not run out, and they will let you do what you want. Zero negotiation, zero dealmaking, just have at them.
This, to me, is just one-dimensional and boring. It fails to explore the many other facets of the presented power dynamic at all, and therefore falls flat in my opinion.
That said, it's still a well-made game that can be enjoyable for a few hours. Would have benefited from voice acting though. Oh, and the omission of handjobs and especially blowjobs is just insane. Why?
3/5.
