Like not a single iota of this game is recommendable. I didn’t anticipate using simple hand gestures to mimic giving a fake girl a massage would make for astoundingly brilliant gameplay, but I did hope there’d be at least a fraction of this game I could speak highly of.

All of the different reflexology courses tire out well before I unlock the first ending, and by the time I’m seeing the credits roll on the true ending to this thing I’ve had enough. This 90-minute game is very much a one-trick pony if a pony falling on its face were to be considered a trick. It’s actually a bit of a strain on my wrist to get the Joy-Con into the correct position to pull it off, but once I do boy howdy is it absolutely not worth it.

I don’t apply it to where you’re probably thinking I would rather, I press the head into the top of her tummy and watch her as boobs begin to vibrate. Sorry, not vibrator, “ massager.” Complete with a chibi Kagura head, this is by far the easiest of the Glorious Reflexology tools to use and the one I imagine most people won’t stray from once it’s unlocked. There’s nothing left to shock or surprise players with how sexualized this series can be. Despite the compromising positions she puts herself in for these sequences, it’s all pretty tame by franchise standards.

Like the full-body reflexology, I can use motion controls here but they’re far less accurate than standard controls. These are dream sequences within dream sequences where I use my hands, a brush, or a roller to really work her muscles. They’re more a series of “What if?” situations where a more extended version of that question would be “What if I get to touch you all over?”Īfter I rub her body enough using basic reflexology, I’ll unlock the final massage session: Glorious Reflexology. These dream sequences aren’t ground in any sort of franchise history. Not every finger has a thought connected to it and she lets me know when it isn’t going anywhere. It starts with her hands, which I take hold of and start stroking a palm or finger hoping to trigger a dream sequence. To help Asuka reach her conclusions, I use a bit of reflexology, which is an actual alternative form of healing. Not exactly Shakespeare we’re working with here, but it serves its purpose in making a game about groping come off slightly less creepy than it otherwise would. To put it in a less romanticized way, I need to keep touching her until she figures out what’s what. There’s a feeling inside of her she doesn’t quite understand and it’s only through my embrace that she’ll reach an epiphany about herself. Reflexions is all about getting some one-on-one time with Asuka of the Hanzo National Academy.
