About this game
god the menu screen alone. some priest guy with more metal in his face than a cutlery drawer just standing there. the game knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to hide it behind some epic fantasy bullshit. you're a broke veteran with bio-enhancements and a collar budget. that's the whole setup.
the trainer mechanics hit different when the girls are all "damaged goods" as the description puts it. one elf keeps flinching every time you raise a hand and you gotta slowly pavlov her into associating touch with something else entirely. the spanking discipline system is where things get weirdly domestic. like you're supposed to be this dominant figure but the corruption path sneaks up on you. started keeping track of who responds better to public exhibitionism versus private teasing sessions and now my desktop sticky notes look like a deranged social worker's casenotes. velma dinkley is in this? not actually velma obviously but there's a glasses-wearing elf who loses them constantly and the reference is so blatant i snorted. the groping interactions during management phases feel more natural than they should. pov shots linger on hands way too long in that specific way that makes you check if your curtains are closed.
the virginity mechanic is where i lost the plot a bit. you're supposed to be this experienced war priest but the game treats every first time like you're both fumbling teenagers. which is hot don't get me wrong but contradicts the whole male domination fantasy they're selling. the harem management gets tedious around the third girl because the simulator aspect wants you to balance their needs but the interface fights you every step. still caught myself reloading saves just to see the spanking animations from different angles. the fantasy setting is just window dressing for what's essentially a very elaborate masturbation aid with elves. not complaining. just saying.
