I keep coming back to the scene where Lora accidentally sets the library curtains on fire. Not because it's hot, but because the old librarian just sighs like this happens every Tuesday. That tiny detail, the weariness in his pixelated face, made me snort my drink. You don't expect that kind of quiet comedy in a game tagged "old and young" and "enchantress," but here we are.

The tower setting is basically a vertical prison of bad decisions waiting to happen. Lora is young, stupid in the way only fantasy protagonists can be, and the game keeps asking me, an alleged adult, to steer her. I tried. I really did. There's this one choice where you can either study a forbidden spell or go bother the grumpy alchemist downstairs. I picked the spell, obviously. The resulting CG was... explicit. Let's just say magical backlash has a very specific interpretation here and it involves tentacles made of pure mana. The art style is rough, deliberately unpolished like the tags suggest, but that almost makes it filthier? Like finding a stained sketchbook under someone's bed. I wish the sound effects weren't just three stock moans on loop though. The wet noises are fine but the same gasp every time Lora's clothes vanish pulls me right out.

I abandoned a playthrough halfway because I realized I'd locked myself into the "corruption" path and honestly, watching her get passed around by spectral knights in the dungeon lost its appeal by the fourth repeat. The game doesn't judge you for it, which is worse. It just keeps offering worse options with a straight face. My favorite terrible moment was convincing a younger apprentice to "help with a ritual" that definitely wasn't in any approved curriculum. The power dynamic there is fucked and the game knows it. You know it. Lora doesn't, and that's the whole uncomfortable point. I'll probably go back to see the "good" ending but I already know it'll be less memorable than the mess I made.
