![]() ![]() I use the phrase “scene” loosely, as almost every single moment of progression serves only to facilitate getting the succubus haunting your nightmares to appear in front of you. This leads into the illusion of options, funneling you towards the one that progresses the scene. “Observing” and “looking” are do-nothing options that pop up with seemingly each decision tree, rarely doing more than painting the scene with details already apparent were you glancing at the screen. For the rest of us we’re left to merely fantasize.Īt this point you’re given your first decision tree-though narratively, only one of them matters. If you’re a white hetrosexual cisgendered guy, this won’t be a problem. Erotic visual novels succeed on their raw mechanics, but also our ability as the player to self-project to what’s happening on screen. The inability to name your character-what’s more, selecting their skin tone through a palette swap or even gender-kinda left me puzzled. Right off the bat, this was my first clue as to narrative depth. You wake, feeling tired and drained as you try to start your day. You peel back your shorts and see them stained with cum. The title starts as You (that’s the characters name) wakes from what seemed an erotic dream. I was also a fan of her works as well, but chose to observe from afar after she detailed why she quit modeling. Notably it also stars Swimsuit Succubus, who has since retired from erotic modeling entirely, as the starring role of a…succubus. I was a fan of their art through the early 2010s. It features art by Doxy, who quite a few of you may recognize. Sweet Dream Succubus is a kinetic visual novel by publisher TinyHat Studios. So, with the Steam sale still going, I opted to pick up Sweet Dream Succubus-Nightmare Edition. It’s an unhealthy line of thought, not just as a consumer but as an individual. It’s something I’ve been trying to remedy, as being a creative myself, my works effectively shape the reality of what my audience perceives the world to be. Partially because I know the magick behind the scenes-but mostly, who wants to fuck people from work? This thinking leads right back into my purchasing decisions as a consumer, and thus effectively what gets reviewed here at the blog. Meaning, if I recognize someone’s voice on something I’m listening to I’m immediately turned off. Lastly, and most embarrassingly, I’ve found my porn tastes to be “creative averse”. I have actively turned down relationships simply because someone was in the same field I was. I’m actively difficult to get a hold of, which has walled me off from friendships and opportunities. While these were created in an attempt to keep me level headed, the parasitic nature of them has extended well into my time at Splathouse. Lastly, just because someone makes you cum doesn’t mean they can’t be a terrible person or decision. While I know many people who are in relationships with people in similar fields or the same one as they, I’ve always found that to be “taking work home” as so much of our identity in the west is tied into our jobs. Failing to fall into the trap of “hero worship” allows you to see content producers as they are. These are fairly straightforward, and have served me time and time again very well. Most of all, don’t ever find yourself beholden to someone who turns you on. Don’t fraternize with peers in the field romantically. “DSWYE” is a great umbrella way to cover all of the following: However, that first rule-it’s always been the hardest. It’s a trifecta of parasitic thinking I’ve spent the majority of the last five years unlearning. Similar phrasing includes “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” and “don’t fuck with the money”. It was the first rule I learned when I opened a business over a decade ago. ![]() Today we’re going to be reviewing the star-talent studded Sweet Dreams Succubus. Miss the last entry?
