I didn't realize this was connected to Off the Cuff till I saw Exits grinning face after I clicked on it, so that was a pleasant surprise! Although the only things connecting the two seem to be Exit and kink.
Gotta say I like the more lighthearted tone this game takes compared to the far scarier OTC. The safe word concept is genuinely kind of fascinating to me, I don't think I've seen any other "horny" game use this idea.
At first I was kind of confused that it was even included. Like, duh, its a erotic visual novel, you're gonna get some sexy scenes, why play it if you're just gonna reject the characters advances?
But after I was done seeing all the sex scenes I did a second "safe word" playthrough and I was surprised at how sweet the characters were when you said you were done or didn't like it. No condescension or shame, just total acceptance. It was weirdly rewarding to see a more tender side to these characters, and for them to be so concerned and receptive to your feelings. I felt like a jerk every time I used the safe word but that's entirely on me and not the games writing, which was compassionate and nice.
As for the characters, Exit was charming as always. That mischievous little minx is extra kinky in this one. Her new outfit is nice too.
Channery was sweet but the part where she drugs your tea was legit kinda frightening at first. I thought it was a part of some dark twist the game had in store for me so I spammed the safe word immediately. I listened to her explanation and it made sense, but boy before that was kinda intense.
I liked Robyn as the more safe, "vanilla" route for new players. Her insecurity and relentless positivity was a nice break from the intensity of the previous routes. And I gotta say, sugar-into-energy freckles and glow in the dark genitals are definitely a first for me. Very imaginative!
Maya's route was probably the hottest one for me other than Exits, cause it seemed to involve body mod stuff the least and more on psychological stuff, which appealed to me more. Her personality felt like the most dominant one too, that sort of firm and commanding maturity was hot as hell.
I did find one typo though, in Exits route there's a part where she's grabbing the players butt and a phrase is repeated twice. It's "her hand continues curling around curling around the back". Just thought you should know.
I hope this overly long review made sense and wasn't just rambling. Anyway, this was a fun VN to waste time with, thanks for the free entertainment!
