About this game
You know that feeling when a VN hits you with the "failed writer" protagonist and you just groan? Bruce Hayden, Lake Orion's least lucky bastard, a man who could find a way to lose a rigged coin toss. I was ready for another self-insert pity party. But then the fog rolls in. Not metaphorical fog, some kind of weird, mystical, reality-bending horny fog that just... changes everything. The animation work on the women, especially that first real encounter, is surprisingly fluid. Like, the jiggle physics have their own narrative arc.
And the mystery, it's a weird hook, right? You're this schlub who stumbles onto a secret, and the game asks if it's good or terrible, and honestly I'm still not sure. There's this one milf character, I won't spoil her name, but the way her storyline weaves into the main mystery made me actually put down my phone and just stare at the screen. The masturbation scenes are integrated into the discovery of this "secret," not just tacked on. It's all about this gurney? The description mentions a gurney, like you're going to choke on a winning ticket, and I keep waiting for that to pay off in a way that isn't just a throwaway line. It doesn't. Not yet. The big tits and big ass tags are accurate, maybe too accurate, sometimes the proportions break the 3dcg models in a way that's less sexy and more like a Bethesda glitch.
The male protagonist is such a specific type of pathetic that it loops back around to being almost endearing. Almost. There's a scene where he's just staring at the fog outside his window, and the internal monologue is so bleakly funny I forgot I was here to get off. The fantasy elements are underbaked, or maybe just revealed too slowly, which is its own kind of frustrating. I wish the mystery had a tighter leash on its own weirdness instead of just letting the fog do whatever the plot needs. The whole thing feels like a fever dream I had after eating bad gas station sushi and watching a bunch of those "unexplained mysteries" compilations on YouTube.
