What does a man do, when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds?
I bought this game under the assumption that it would be a simple puzzle salad with an otokonoko dressing. As you may be aware, otokonoko are largely underrepresented in gaming, so much so that I've spent the last few months developing my own visual novel with an otokonoko lead. So when I saw this, I knew I had to buy it, anything to support the portrayal of crossdressing boytoys in this medium.
What I wasn't expecting, however, was the hardest puzzle game I've ever played in my life.
You see, while this game may lure you in with the promise of undressing breedable little twinks, it makes you WORK for it. The first boy was easy enough, and I was able to clear his levels without much issue. Once you get to boy two, however, the difficulty truly begins setting in.
The time limit you have is tighter than the boyholes you're trying to uncover. I legitimately had to start using my drawing tablet just to have the speed and coordination to keep up. Even then, dozens and dozens of time-outs and self-inflicted lockouts on boys two and three.
I don't know when it was when it stopped being about cock for me. Had it ever been? Only a God that has long-since abandoned me knows for sure. If I really wanted to see cute boys in skirts I coulda just asked my femboy boyfriend for nudes, or gone on Pixiv, the options are endless. Hell, I probably coulda datamined the assets outta the game myself. But it wasn't about that anymore. I couldn't let the game win. This was a fight to prove my worth, my right to exist in this world.
Boy four is where I was nearly broken. I spent, no exaggeration, over two hours on his first of 12 boards. I was driven nearly mad, it took the director himself directly telling me to switch to easy mode before I finally cracked. But I will return to finish the job on normal, I can't let that bratty doctor win.
Even on easy, the game isn't a cakewalk. In fact, calling it "Easy" is a bit of a disservice, as it gives you a whole new style of gameplay, and needs to be approached with a completely different strategy.
When I finally managed to overcome Boy Five, when that foldable otokonoko was stripped down to nothing but pasties and a thong, the rush was second only to losing my virginity. I had won the fight. That was all I needed. Getting to see their cocks at last was merely boy icing on the boy cake.
And, you know, I think it may have been trying to say something. About the world, about the fight otokonoko have to take part in their entire lives. The fight against the insurmountable weight of social pressures. An atypical beauty so pure, yet shunned by the masses. The fight to just exist. It's profound, in its own way.
Soundtrack was a little repetitive, but hey, anything would be after hours. If they make a sequel, my biggest hope is that they have more of a visual novel/story aspect, flesh out the boys a little more. Otherwise, a fine game that does exactly what it sets out to do, and then some.

Hey everybody, for real, playing to frustrate each other is not a fun way to play because we're all on the same team and that team is to have fun together and to make it fun for all our audiences. And so when people make plays just to frustrate each other and just to troll each other, there's enough of that in the world today, of people trolling each other just to be mean and to be hurtful, and if we're gonna play in this space together we need to do it because we want each other to have fun and not because we're trying to frustrate each other, cause there's enough frustrating things in the world right now and there's enough we can't control, and one of the things we can control is that everyone is here to have fun and not waste each others' time and so when we make decisions that are meant to troll each other, that's something that bad people do.
