The devil made me do it!

What's a janitor to do when they realize they wasted their youth on caring for their sickly parents, and are now an old man who has lost their looks, they smell of old person, and are possessed by the devil. Oh yeah, that last one might be a little special.

So with the devil inside him, or at least what the janitor believes to be what is causing him to act the way he is. Oh yes, how does he act? Well the janitor has a thing for slumbering high school girls, touching them, smelling them, and now with the help of the devil, straight up popping a cork in their cunts. He can undress them, manipulate them, and pump them full of his old man semen.

Along his path of debauchery the janitor meets and contracts with other demons from hell, giving up something in the process, parts of his soul, his ability to go the heaven, his right to be reincarnated, so on and so forth. Each power he gains makes it easier and easier to fuck the girls, and opening up a new ending opportunity down the line.

Now, my one gripe with the game is the ultimate ending, the be all end all requires you to do so much bloody work and some of it is still based on RNG. See you need to impregnate all the girls to unlock the final ending, but it isn't as simple as blowing a load in each one. No, you need to follow a precise path, where you stimulate them, drop your load, and then seal them up by healing their hymen. It's a pain in the butt, because you need to do each step to each girl one at a time before the next step unlocks and then you need to repeat the previous steps to progress it all.

At least the number of girls, their differences, how they are found, their backstories, and a few other details make each one a memorable fuck. The art is also pretty on point, so they make for great fap sessions for someone who loves sleep sex.

Best h-game in the last 2 years for me. The game can be a little difficult to understand. and some confusion, but overall you will definitely enjoy it. Really thanks to the game developers. The first part of the game is very difficult because NPCs wake up really easily. But you can turn on the function to adjust the difficulty level. After playing for a while

grind is pain too focused on the touch guess and setting the has so much potential they could've add more, like the skills for example a skill that would guide where you have to touch her next and many more.

Huh. Ratings seem somewhat contentious on here. I didn't read them, so kinda soz if much is redundant
I guess putting things short before they go long (on some of these): Arts ok. Girls pretty hot. Voices seemed pretty good overall. Story...is (more(?) on that below).
If you like molesty games and can vibe with the kinda slow crawl interactions as "replicating" somewhat how delicate you'd need to be irl to do a sleep rape, then you might like it. I'd probs give a 3.5, but it be like it is.
You'll also almost certainty want/need a guide. Unless you're either a masochist or really into trial and error (especially when you reach the "make each girl climax" stage of things).

Longer:

• Uhm, the controls are kinda jank (especially when having to do the insertions without waking the girls up).
• The fact you can't technically save in the middle of a "scene" is a pain that is compounded by the jank controls making it a tedious time waste whenever you want to test out how the controls seem to work (again the insertion parts are the worst of this as the subtleties of "slow but forceful thrusting forward of your mouse" can sometimes be hard to discern, especially when the angle of insertion gets more than somewhat fucked -like when you're technically applying force to the girl to "skewer" her on your...old man cane)
• Depending on whether you're familiar with this dev (or group? idk, I've honestly tried to maintain as small a digital record regarding them and their games as possible) some of the "bells and whistles" will probably be pretty hit or miss. They've got a thing for having the perv MC make the girls narrate in excruciating -yet pretty rote and generic after you see it a few times- detail what's being done to them in the scene, based on the fetish of the game. So here dude makes them narrate how old they are, what school year they're in, what's happening to them(always variations on "being raped"), how innocent/virginal they are/were/might yet become again, and so on. It's not as...extra as I've come across it in other games (their age helps a lot there), but it's still pretty extra. Plus it can be kinda ambiguous whether an option is presenting you with an opportunity to hear that fairly generic narration or different conditional ones that go in another direction (and so are usually a lot better).
• And in all honesty they probably had things better "presented"/arranged when the game interface was more like you were selecting scenes on a movie menu. This game obfuscates the fact it works pretty much that way, which can add a bit of tedium (and might be somewhat counterintuitive if you haven't come across that sort of design before).
• I do think the game does benefit from the limited amount of player agency that is actually there (I define "agency" here as the options you have in the scenes to do shit that the game doesn't require you to do in order to reach the end of a scene as more something of a way to pad out the play time). There is definitely a lot of tedium built into the requirement that you manually go back through every stage of undressing/positioning before you get to what is usually the only thing that's really changed/added as new material at the end of the process you had to go through the last time, and given there's very little variability in how you experience e.g. the actual penetration scenes (always the same position with the same girl, she needs to be undressed in exactly the same way -can't sometimes decide to leave on her shirt or whatever- etc.) after a while the gameplay can feel a lot like being made to click through a finnicky and overly long movie menu over and over again.
• But if the story weirdness piques your interest then there's enough in the mechanics of needing to play relatively dynamically/carefully to avoid waking the girl up that can kinda convincingly make you feel like you're actually playing out the particular fantasy, rather than just clicking through a scene viewer. You just have to either have the game grab you enough that it just feels that way from the start (as happened to me) or you have to be more active in deliberately engaging with the mechanics as game mechanics trying to simulate something vaguely realistic, and not a really fiddly menu system.
• Oh yeah, maybe a small spoiler (though I'm not sure those apply for this game: even story details are so convolved by the upper mid tier MTLlation and the heights of confusing, aspirationally profound, brilli-nonsense the writer(s) reach for in their stories, that there's a decent chance story spoilers you read from other people won't actually relate to the story as you yourself read it -not because it's abstract or "compleks" or profound, just somewhat...odd): you do get the opportunity to do all the girls while they're awake...kinda. Though as with most things in this game you'll want to follow a guide for it (although there is also some scope for just trying shit out once you get your full suite of demon powers, as there are variations in the scenes included for some of the things a player might just decide to try out).
• Double oh: you also unlock (super late in the game) the option to fast track getting the girls into position for the sex, which saves a decent amount of time -though because it's this game, fair warning that it unlocks somewhat before the game's fully ready for you to rely on it; the stage at which you unlock it is also at a point where some of the things you need to do to the girls require them to be in various stages of dress you'll need to work back to if you take the unlock option when it appears)

Finally as...commentary -I guess?- on the story. Enfolded in spoilers less because I think anything necessarily spoils the experience and more cause I don't want this review to further clog up this review page:

Nice game bout sleep sex, MC's kinda deserve it to go to hell. The grind system really works well and some people really dont like it huh because they lazy . 11/10 will play from same dev again.
Best touching game ever than most sh*t Live2D on Unity and Renpy.
Ignore the 1-2 reviews as those are people who hates grind and lazy with yee-yee ass haircut

If you come in expecting a trainer/simulator style touch game, you will be disappointed. This is a VN with animation.

As of writing I have not finished the game 100%, I probably won't. Grinding 8 girls to max sensitivity in this game is just... boring. I find it laughable to call this best in the genre, with the game feeling like something out of the 2000s. The game is a VN with bare bones touch game mechanics that disappoints any one that played a half decent touch game. Gameplay is just hold mouse to watch one animation loop

Key points:
- barely has a story if you consider it a VN
- lack many features in touch/sim/sleep games if you consider it that
- animation suffers from compression
- animation quality is on par with other touch games at best, more often than not worse
- a lot of grind after "ending" to actually clear the game
- sleep gauge is so short and goes down slow you can't 'use' this game before you reach "ending" which gives you perma-sleep
- follow-walkthrough-to-know-how-to-progress-game
- game has awful continuity, voice when speaking to girls during sex is really poor
- weird 2000s pre rendered 3D animation when not in sex scenes
- censored
- 13GB
- 8 girls but they all feel the same
~ crappy MTL: I sucked on my dick and ejaculated inside it.

+ art style
+ more posture and viewpoints than most touch games
+ "filming" after sex with humiliating dialogs and student ID. totally my thing. can't remember another game with that
- filming only available for awake after sex
- no gallery even tho game is glorified animation player?
TLDR: while the art style looks good, the gameplay is poor. the game is mostly an animation viewer with shitty MTL dialogs in between to keep telling you mc really love young JKs. I recommend playing with full save and have awake sex only, if you think that's worth 13GB. You will skip a lot of grind without missing anything worthwhile. But you might need a bit of time to figure out how to play the game going in like that.

TLDR: Excellent art, voice acting/sound, and actual gameplay make this worth playing. Even if sleep sex isn't exactly your fetish, this is worth a try.

Positives:
+ The girls are beautifully drawn and have a pleasing variety of views and positions.
+ There's care and quality put into the little gasps and moans the girls make which compliments the on screen action.
+ Gameplay is hotspot hunts and click-drag movements. Not challenging, but it does have more "game" than a VN where you just click to see the next scene.
+ The consequences for messing up are forgiving. The game autosaves generally where you are with a girl, so if you wake her up and get a gameover it only sets you back a minute or two of progress.

Criticism:
- All the girls look fairly similar. Dark hair, big tits, school girl outfits. Most of the visual variety is in their body position, not their appearance.
- I had to close the game during one of the demon mirror talks and it bugged out the save so I was stuck without any way to progress. Annoying, but not a deal-breaker.
- The MC's face is hideous. Mostly this doesn't matter since you rarely see it, but there are a few licking/kissing actions that spawn a revolting old man face. A transparent outline would have been better.

Conclusion:
This is a distinct step above most shovelware japanese schoolgirl porn that the screenshots might imply. There's clear care and effort put into the setting and details, there's enjoyable art, sounds, and a little gameplay to tie them all together.

great game, story and animations. I was a bit surprised how well it plays out story wise, some minor blur but tolerable, also English conversion is pretty good. thanks to all involved. as well as f95zone.

A really good game.

What could have been better is more characters, more effect/power/special scene.

The only 2 downside for me would be:

- Trying to use the good amount of speed to insert. It was horrible to find the good one
- The sensitivity bar that became so important in the second half of the game. Needing to do the 9 same step multiple times, which can sometimes be really long. Well it was annoying. But still a good game


I hope there will be more characters, and a mroe diverse cast if they choose to make another game like that.

its been a long time since urge to molest and round and round rape train have game this good, the grind are a bit challenging and the scene is hot, worth it, each girl are unique too, im surprise they made it look so smooth.

I guess similarly as to how others feel about ntr, this game would prob scratch an itch for a certain demographic. The sleep aspect does make this interesting but is approached with the same mechanic as countless others (you have a bar that rapidly generates as you interact, and slowly degrades as cooldown before you continue).

I'd say my low rating is primarily due to this being a core game mechanic meant to just extend/delay game-time as it's used everywhere repeatedly.
Also, the anime girl artstyle for the different girls feels a bit repetitive (almost like same girl diff hair), so in terms of variety I'd say my messing around in StableDiffusion mixing loras have produced more interesting results than the copypaste aesthetic here.

The story is a bit interesting (and a little disturbing for obv reasons lol) but thats what makes it not a plain 1/5 or less.

It may be the best hentai game you will touch in a long while, nothing is even close to this...

Many events, a lot of animations, extremely high quality art style, ONLY downside is that pretty much all girls have the same chest size which feels lazy in design.

Thought I was actually getting a big game for that 9gb but it's just typical JP lack of compression on all assets. The entire game is just 5 scenes where you play through them without any free will, clicking where it tells you in order to progress. You have to do each scene multiple times as it unlocks new "powers" and finally at the end of the grind lets you fuck. You don't get to chose anything, can't fuck with clothes, can't cum where you want, it's all predetermined.

I'm usually all for the weird fantasies but this also has really bad vibes.

The MTL translation is shit but enough to understand ig, tho' if you can read Japanese it's really enjoyable. Best game on this site as of now, everything is there, story, girls, art, animations, gameplay is pretty fun but you're certain to get a good fap from this. Except for the first part of the game where it's a bit tedious and you can't do much but after that your pp gonna be happy

Excellent game. Multiple girls, the animation is smooth. Only downside is that the walkthrough is definitely needed as the gameplay itself can be tedious/confusing.
I would definitely like to see more from this dev in the future.

A real gem, the gameplay mechanics of meticulously undressing the girls and slow progression make it really immersive, the art and feedback and SOUND are phenomenal as well, the girls come in a variety of poses and scenarios, there's legitimate reason to progress and get further abilities, JUST PLAY IT

I played the game in Japanese, and the only thing I could complain about is sometimes being lost on how to progress, and maybe how you can only cum in a girl once, but at that point I'm just nitpicking.
