Office Temptation by HHRichards
Independent release again, from 2024. Also itâs porn-ish.
Made in Twine.
Office Temptation is a demo for the larger pornographic game Lewd Mod, where you âconverseâ with Maddy, a train-wreck of a coworker in your office. She is trying really hard to flirt with you, teasing you with snapshots and hinting at a sexy surprise at the end of the day. And she wonât stop talking to you, whether you accept those advances or not (well, you canât really say no, it just translates as playing hard to get). The only big difference is whether you get the sexy surprise at the end or not (and even then, itâs a tease).
This was⊠weird. Thereâs no way around it but weird. I tried to play as the reticent co-worker first, that just wants to get through the day, see if Maddy would leave me alone (she doesnât, and the game kinda shoehorns you into giving in), and the one whoâs all into the whole thing. And both times, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Sure, itâs porn. But gosh darn, I have standards!
First of all, you have doughnuts and you donât even make a porn joke with it? Stack em or lick em, there are so many ways of using the treat smartly and smutly. But no, Maddie just doesnât know how to eat them and ends up with jelly on her chest. Which⊠WHY? Why the doughnut?? when you have the phallic Ă©clairs right there, or the booby religieuse or profiteroles or choux right there! If the MC is not gendered, the religieuse work even better, in the gameâs context too (with the AC and Maddy)! Such missed opportunities.
Second of all, Maddy has a boyfriend. Sheâs actively cheating on her boyfriend by essentially sexting you at work (and then at home if you took the right path). Whatâs sexy about cheating? How are we supposed to be ok with being the affair partner? Why canât I call Maddy out on her actions??? As soon as she mentioned a boyfriend, I was out of it completely. I was ready to call HR and report her. Which you canât, because the game is hell bent on responding positively about Maddyâs advances.
Most egregious of all, and thatâs not even touching the whole office affair, which its whole canworm, the way the game deals with Maddyâs relationship with food is just⊠questionable at best. Maddy refers to herself as disgusting if she eats the doughnuts during the day, that she ate a whole box of cookies the day before and it made her feel bad, that her boyfriend essentially fatshames her when sending him sexy pics⊠and she urges you to fatshame her so she wonât eat the doughnuts she obviously want to eat. In the year of our Lord 2025⊠why are we still doing this? This is not sexy to restrict someone to not eat something, especially you can pick the options of calling her a GREEDY PIG. Even as some sort of degradation/feeding fetish I donât buy it. It only reads as a woman who has some sort of eating disorder and not dealing with it (and you can make it worse to get sexy pics yay! /s).
Smut can be fun, smut can be flirty and cheeky, smut can titillate with neat graphics. This⊠was just uncomfortable throughout. I kept wishing for a Report to HR button so I could stop the game early. But, in retrospect, this would have been like monkey pawâs request: instead of HR, Iâd have Horny Resources on the line, and end up in a whole new layer of corporate hell.
NGL: this needs trigger warnings for the food stuff.
