    It takes a particular kind of genius to take the concept of a genderbent guy protecting his cousin from lusty oni and getting raped in the process, and turn it into the most boring unimaginative drivel possible.

    Our protagonist Ryou wakes up one day to quite a shock - he has turned into a girl. Apparently, his family's main branch hides the secrets of oni mastering, and some oni take exception to what they see as slavery. They routinely attack the member of the family with the highest amount or spiritual energy. It just so happens that person currently is Ryou's cousin Yume, whom he has a crush on. Yume must have unconsciously imagined Ryou as her protector, which somehow transformed Ryou into a girl.

    Ryou (renamed to Haruka) is an unlikable protagonist - she has no agency, and her only thoughts revolve about something lewd. Her whole day is spent thinking how sensitive she is now that she's a girl, how horny, and how she wants to have sex.

    The game follows the same pattern throughout its full length. Haruka only thinks how horny she is, and how she wants sex. Once the oni attack, she immediately succumbs, because she is just too horny, but upon experiencing an orgasm, she can think clearly and takes that time to attack and defeat the oni, but after that she becomes horny again, and spends the time thinking about her hornyness until the following sex scene. And the sex scenes in the game are incredibly long, to the point they strained the disbelief.

    I hoped to see some interesting fetishes, but sadly the actual H-content is pretty vanilla. Most of the scenes are either straight sex or gangbangs, but even if they are technically non-consensual, our protagonist is constantly so horny, she is not putting up any resistance, and begs for more.

    The character sprites are pretty bad and there is just something wrong with the proportions. The character heads are balanced on necks so thin, I was afraid that their vertebrae will end up snapping at any moment.

    There is only a single aspect of the game I have anything positive to say about, and it's the structure. Every choice results either in a bad ending, or continues the game. It pleased me that the bad ends are actually quite fleshed out and not just quick game overs.

    To sum up, this is is a dull and uninspiring genderbending visual novel. I would suggest not wasting your time.
