About this game
You know what's weird about My Dorm? The teacher character. She's got this whole thing going on where she's clearly supposed to be the authority figure, the one with power, but the writing keeps undermining that in ways that feel accidental rather than intentional. There's a scene where she's lecturing you about grades and the dialogue options are all variations of "stare at chest" or "imagine her naked." Like, I get it, it's a hentai game, but come on. Give me something to work with here.
The art is that particular brand of CG hentai where everyone looks slightly glossy, like they've been polished with furniture wax. The milf character design is actually pretty good if you're into that, which I am, but the student characters all have this same-face thing going on that makes me think the artist just really likes drawing one specific eye shape. The nude scenes unlock in this weirdly mechanical way, like you can practically hear the counter ticking up toward the next reveal. It reminds me of those old Newgrounds dating sims where you'd just click through dialogue trees until clothes fell off, except here the writing takes itself way more seriously than it should.
The dorm setting feels weirdly empty. You've got these rooms that are supposed to be lived in but they're just backgrounds with maybe a poster or two. I kept clicking on things expecting some kind of interaction, some environmental storytelling, but nah. Just static images with characters pasted on top. The visual novel format means you're basically reading a lot, and the translation has these moments where it's clearly not native English, which honestly adds some charm. "Your eyes make my heart become confused" is a real line someone wrote and I think about it more than I should. The whole thing has this unpolished quality that the description warned about, and weirdly that's what kept me going. Not because it was good, but because it was interesting in its failures. Like watching someone try to assemble furniture without instructions. You know where it's supposed to end up, but the journey there is full of strange choices.
