Ravenhollow looks like one of those villages you’d scroll past on Instagram gothcore feed, then zoom in because the girl in the background has dead eyes and huge tits. The game throws you there as this kinda awkward scientist guy, full of theory and not enough pussy, who honestly feels like he belongs more on Reddit than in a cursed forest. You’re supposed to be all “serious researcher” writing a thesis about monsters and anomalies, but ten minutes in you’re juggling notes about vampire behavior and trying not to stare at a werewolf girl’s bouncing ass while she pretends not to notice. The tone is really funny in that mean, sarcastic way, characters talk shit, tease you nonstop, and then suddenly you’re balls deep in a forest nymph and your noble academic career is over. In the best way. Sort of.

The star for me is Viernes13. She looks like Wednesday Addams if Wednesday had way more curves and zero patience. Black dress, straight hair, that bored goth stare that looks right through you like you’re already disappointing her. Her whole vibe screams “I know all the secrets here and I also know you’re horny and weak.” The game plays with that hard. First time she takes you into the forest, she talks about this thing called the Heart of Lugrenwald like it’s a scientific site, but she keeps brushing your arm on purpose, pausing a bit too long when she leans close, and you can literally feel the moment the “field study” turns into “ok, I’m gonna milk this nerd.” The teasing is slow, like she enjoys making you squirm, then suddenly she has her hand in your pants and you forget you were trying to measure anomalous energy. There is a blowjob scene by the dark trees where she keeps eye contact the entire time and it’s actually kinda unsettling and hot. Also her tits look soft but heavy as fuck, like they would actually hurt your face in a good way.

What surprised me is the combat and management parts don’t feel like lazy excuse. You have turn-based fights in the forest and around the village, but half the time it feels like flirting as combat. Some girls transform mid-battle, like a shapeshifter girl that gets more naked and more monstrous the more turns pass, and your brain has to choose between “wow, strategy” and “wow, I’d let her sit on my face even if she eats me after.” You collect stuff, give them as gifts, plan dates, manage your time like some cursed horny calendar. I got stuck one evening trying to min-max affection values for a big-ass vampire lady, and I accidentally triggered a scene where she pins the protagonist to a coffin and just rides him raw, slow grind, heavy tits bouncing, and she keeps talking in this calm, old-timey way while you’re literally creampie machine for her. It kinda ruined me a bit. The sandbox feeling is nice but also annoying sometimes because the game doesn’t always tell you clearly what to do next, so you wander around Ravenhollow like a lost idiot with blue balls. Also the text on one menu button is just slightly off center and it drives me crazy every single time I open it. I keep noticing it. I hate it. Anyway, the AI CG actually looks good most of the time, faces have expression, cum stays where it should, and the animated loops are dirty without being too sterile. Some scenes feel romantic, soft kisses and slow vaginal sex under weird moonlight, then next moment a monster girl is drooling on your dick and using you like a toy. The whole thing feels like a horny gothic zoo where you are the one getting observed, not them, and honestly I’m kinda ok with that.

New girl moves in across the hall, heavy boots, eyeliner sharp enough to cut you, shirt two sizes too small for her ass, and suddenly your boring little apartment block turns into the most distracting place on earth. She barely looks at you at first, just this cold side glance and a tiny smirk like she already knows exactly how much you’re staring. And of course you’re staring. The whole game hangs on that tension: she’s right there, close enough to hear you jerk off through the wall if you’re not careful, and far enough that one stupid choice turns everything awkward. It feels like someone took the usual dating sim stuff, then stripped it down to just you, her, a crappy corridor, some tiny choices, and the slow burn of “how far can I push this neighbour thing before it explodes in my face”.

What I liked is how casual the sex side creeps in. You don’t start with some “hi, I’m your new slutty goth neighbour, let’s fuck” bullshit. It starts with tiny scenes: you hearing her music through the wall at night, her leaning against the doorframe in that lazy way that makes her chest pop, you catching just a bit too much skin when she bends over to pick her keys. Then you get that first choice to comment on it or pretend you saw nothing. Pick the bold option and she doesn’t melt right away, she kind of tests you. Stares a little too long. Sits on your crappy couch and spreads her legs like it’s totally normal, phone in hand, pretending she’s not watching your eyes move. There’s one moment where she “forgets” to pull her shorts all the way up after using your bathroom, and the game hangs there, giving you that sick little date sim question: touch, tease, or play it safe. That scene worked way better than when she suddenly gets super soft and flirty later, which honestly felt like a different girl wrote her own script. But that weird mood swing sort of fits a goth neighbour who might ghost you after blowing you on the balcony and then act like nothing happened when you meet in the stairs.

The writing is rough in places, like someone thinking in their second language and not checking grammar, but that actually matches the mood. There’s a line where she says something like “I like when people observe me” instead of “watch me”, and it sounds wrong, yet also kind of hot in this clinical way, like she’s inviting you to study her body. Some of the erotic text goes a bit too fast, though. One minute you’re talking about her band or whatever, next line she’s grinding that big ass on your lap like she’s known you for years, and I kinda wished the game forced you to wait, torture you with another day of bumping into her on the staircase, watching her hips sway while you’re holding grocery bags. Choices matter just enough that you feel like you can corrupt her vibe or keep it more “friends that fuck sometimes”. The whole thing is like testing how much your neighbour will let you perv on her before she either pulls you into her place by the shirt or slams the door in your face. It’s short, janky, horny as hell, and somehow both too tame and too explicit at the same time. And that stupid hallway plant near your doors is always in the frame, doing nothing, looking ugly as hell. I hate that plant.
