Playthrough Experience -- Check 1/2
Slave, commonly referred to as Ryax, has made his debut in the hentai art scene, featuring the likes of Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Kanye West. So its ya bois, whats up gang, crip, we boutta demonilish this boot licking game and kick some ass, or at least thats what I heard.
BEGINNING
The game starts with a cutscene featuring influences of the Twin Peaks and its mainstream take of 'Sonorism' and 'Surrealism' with the text "this content contains graphic material". So far, i am pleasured by this non-drought of dopamine neurons. From this, we can extract the meaning of it like a Kendick Lamear lyric to understand that this game is about to be freaky as hell and have some necrophilliac stuff. 10/10, but we have to see the rest.
I will mention however that the metal clanging did make me so scared that my balls clanged, and I will note that I am not seeing any sight of Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Kanye West orgy. Wish the game developer of this one was more straight to the point but ehhhh its alright.
Umm not be homophobic or transphobic but the sillouhute of the character seemed to have a figure of a woman and not a man. Is this hentai featuring woman??? bruh. 2025 Update-- The woman disappeared; glad the developer stuck to the description of the game. I do NOT fw woman that shit is gay as hell. I will like to criticize the amount of text that is just "...", like can we start taking off our clothes ladies and gentlemen???
DAY 1
We start a new day by waking up from our sleep, lets see it progresses. Ahhh hell nah, its a monday??? and why did the devloper make a reference to Dream, the minecraft youtuber. I dont want his twink ass in the game. THEN HE DOUBLES DOWN BY STATING THE ENTIRE GAME WAS DREAM??? BRO IM LOGGING OFF. FUCK THIS.
2026 Update-- Ok so I am an illiterate fuck and didnt notice that the beginning was just A dream, not Dream. We ballin'. Nah fuck this shit, instead of having Dream, he puts JAPANESE DREAM????, may the lord have mercy on who made this pr stunt because i wont. Does JavDream have mental issues, because why does he keep saying the things he is about to do to himself.
Nah is Drake a murder type shit?? why do I see flashbacks of knives type shit. Damn bro when are the baddies gonna show up type shit (Editor's note: the OP did not know that this game was set in a highschool and retracts his statements of finding "girls that are sexually attractive to him" and any further mishaps throughout the comment). Can this blond japanese guy do the drum competition but on my ass. NAHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT GIRL IS A 10/10 ๐ฅต๐ฅต๐ฅต๐ฅต (Editor's note: ...). NAHHHH AND IM GETTING RIZZY, THIS GAME IS AN 11/10. (Editor's note: just because you get no bitches doesnt mean the game is good).
Why does the blond japanese guy look like he wants to nut on me bro wtf. ANOTHER BADDIE????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? YEAH CHAT 15/10 KOWZUNGA. man wtf is this test. this pussy ass developer should just remove the test and let me go to my cave. Ryax probably felt so devious writing "bulls***" (sorry i cant say bad words). Yeah gamers imma have to log off, i dont necessary agree with the choice of words; its aching me in distraught and my mommy checks what i do online.
Why was the manga club room the only option??? like what else am i supposed to do lmao??? Is it just me or is everything in this game suddenly getting hot ๐๐๐๐๐๐. MAID OUTFIT??? OK THATS IT, ON THE COUNT OF THREE, US MEN WILL TAKE THE LOINCLOTH OFF. BIGGEST WEINER TAKES ALL.
Day 2
Hoping to see some gay midget furry porn by now. NAH WHICH OF THEM PUSSY YNS JUMPED ON MY BOY MITO, IMMA GET THE BLIKY AND CRASH OUT. yo it would be crazy if this bitch on the roof just jumped, wouldnt it? FEET???????????????? SHOW ME THE FEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! IIIIIIIIIIIIII NEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Bro thank god the day ended fast, I cant wait to go the cave.
Day 3
Im not even gonna lie i only go to the manga club just to see the titties. (Editor's note: the OP did not know that this game was set in a highschool and retracts his statements of finding "girls that are sexually attractive to him" and any further mishaps throughout the comment).
Day 4
Instead of pulling up a shopping bag, there shoulda been an option to pull up a gun so i can flex it on all my bitches. broooooooo why is this bitch crying. man up lil bro.
Day 3

Bro fuck this girl, shes anti-men. What can a brotha get to get some bitches. Anyways, what happens next is crazy, click more to see it: More. NAHHHH BRO WTF SHE WANTS TO FU-KILL ME????????????????????????????????????????????????? PLEASE LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME. I HUMBLY REPENT FOR MY SINS AND ALLOW JESUS TO COME IN MY LIFE THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!... HOLY GUACMOLE. its even worse because shes a woman ๐คข๐คข๐คฎ๐คฎ, thats gay as fuck. Real mEn like me need to be murded by other men with strong rock hard abs.
Day 6
Why is day 6 a monday? we havent even had saturday and sunday. Oh and this game ends right there because why not.
Final Commentary
If I had to summarize this game into one word: needs to get to the point.
I played this game for a whole ass 6 days, and I still didnt see a twinkifided version of Rocky getting fucked over by Kanye West, and instead I saw woman who were very ugly and not sexually attractive. I reported it for clickbait and I hope deluquients like this game developer learns that stuff like this isnt funny and some people dont have time to keep up with the clickbait. Anyways, 444GamerFart2987 is signing out, peace out.
