The whole thing feels like finding a sketchbook someone left on a park bench. Not finished art, just... marks. Miki doesn't talk much. You click through his days and he watches Sara, this older woman who carries her grocery bags like they're full of stones. The drawings are rough, sometimes the proportions go weird, her neck too long in one scene, his hands just blobs. But it works. Like the game itself is nervous.

I got stuck on a detail. There's this moment where Sara adjusts her hair and the animation loops wrong, three frames that don't quite connect. I stared at it for maybe a minute. Her fingers never actually touch her scalp. It's probably a bug but it felt intentional, like she's performing a gesture she's forgotten the meaning of. The sex scenes, when they finally happen, have that same quality. Unpolished. Bodies that don't quite fit together right. The dialogue during these parts is weirdly formal, like they're both reading from different scripts. "I want to hear you," Miki says, and Sara's response is something about the weather. I don't think that's bad writing. I think it's how people actually talk when they're terrified of being honest.

The MILF tag is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Sara's age matters less than her exhaustion, the way she sighs before speaking. There's a scene where she's washing dishes and Miki just watches her back, and the whole thing is more charged than the actual fucking later. The game doesn't seem to know this about itself. It keeps pushing toward climaxes it hasn't earned while the real heat is in the pauses. I wish the sound design existed. There's no music, no ambient noise, just the click of advancing text. In the quiet you start hearing things that aren't there. Maybe that's the point. Probably not.

The therapist in me would say Miki's desire isn't for Sara but for her sadness, the permission to witness something private. The researcher in me notes the timeline doesn't add up. There's a flashback that contradicts the main story and nobody acknowledges it. I've played through three times and the contradiction stays. I kind of love that. A polished game would've fixed it. This one just leaves the scar visible.
