Ok so Callisto. The art is like, deliberately rough around the edges, which I actually dig for this kind of space trucker fantasy. Makes it feel like some bootleg data-slate you'd find in a back-alley station. But then the next CG scene pops up and the anatomy goes all weird, a titty looking like a half-deflated balloon and I'm just staring at it instead of, you know. The whole thing is a visual novel about being a broke ex-military captain with a ship full of misfits, trading scrap and getting into trouble. You know the drill. Mass Effect vibes but with way less budget and way more spread legs.

There is this one crewmate, a mechanic with short pink hair and a perpetual oil smudge on her cheek. The first time you get her scene, it's after a near-miss with some pirates. The tension script is actually not bad, she's shaking, you calm her down, one thing leads to another. The writing for the smut is surprisingly direct. No flowery bullshit. Just "he grabbed her hips and pulled her onto his cock" type of energy. I respect that. But then the game makes you do this stupid minigame where you have to click on moving target zones to "pleasure" her and it's so janky. Like, I'm trying to focus on the moans and the squelching sounds but I'm fighting the UI. Who thought that was a good idea? Just let me read the nasty bits in peace. My phone almost went flying.

Wish the zero-g scenes were actually a thing. They tease it in the ship's observation deck but it's just a static background. Imagine the mess. Floating droplets of... yeah. Missed opportunity. The sound design is just a loop of engine hum and occasional beeps. I ended up muting it and playing my own playlist, some heavy synthwave fit the mood better. The captain's quarters need a "do not disturb" lock for the door. Got walked in on by the lizard-looking navigator during a moment with the stoic first officer. Awkward.
