Ah, another gem found by sorting on newest releases. I really appreciate this game and its intention. Most schools often just say "Sex is bad; don't do it" and resources about specifics are difficult to find. This game does a good job explaining the struggle of having sex related issues, and no-one willing to talk about it. I like the part where in the first part, the mini-games are difficult if not outright impossible to keep up with. However in the second part, the games lose all challenge, and there are no time restraints and gives you complete will of what you want. This contrast shows the feeling of finally finding something you needed very well. Not to mention the information about UTI's and douching was very accurate, and the way I even learned about it is from my parents. Even though I'm a cis male and most of this stuff goes over my head, I appreciate this game for being some the only actually good sexual education out there. Like at all. Also its free.
Seems positive and uplifting until the main character talks about making "horrifying ♥♥♥ jokes" and getting away with it because the other person "doesn't know what they are." No idea why they think racism is okay just because it's against an indigenous people in a country they don't live in. Like, she says she's afraid of scaring people off, so clearly she knows racist jokes are not okay? Really disgusting.
