Final Verdict

Alright, let’s cut to the chase: this game is a no-brainer buy.

The content is packed to the brim, it’s wild.

Intro

This simulator game is straight-up a masterpiece.

I usually sink about 3.5 hours into most games.

Big titles might hit 6 hours if I’m feeling it.

But this one? I’m at 13 hours and only two-thirds through.

What kinda magic is this…?

(Final tally: 21 hours to 100% completion… yikes.)

Game Start

You get canned from your job and you’re drowning in debt.

Chillin’ in the park, wondering what’s next.

Then you spot a girl with a killer figure.

You check her out, vibes are good.

You decide to slide in and pitch her.

Ask her to team up as your work partner.

And kickstart your epic AV empire.

After some back-and-forth, “Wa” joins your hustle.

You’re off to conquer this wild new world.

Gameplay

Let me just say, real quick:

This is an AV filming sim with

“Too much stuff” “Too much stuff” “Too much stuff” “Too much stuff.”

Your typical visual novel stuff:

Map exploration / stamina / cash / relationship meters / girl’s body stats.

No big deal so far, right?

But you’re a one-man crew.

So besides filming, you’re editing, planning, and uploading.

Broke? Gotta grind side gigs.

Debt collectors snatch most of your cash.

Every 5 days, you owe up.

Miss a payment? They take half your money.

Three strikes, game over.

Late-game, it’s brutal.

My real life’s a mess, and now my game life’s a mess too.

This ain’t easy, fam!

I got most of ‘em down.

Some triggers need specific conditions.

Didn’t track those too closely while playing.

You’ll have to explore a bit.

Cuz my second playthrough… prolly ain’t happening soon.

Naughty Coin Exchange

There’s a dude in the park collecting naughty coins.

You can trade ‘em for a ton of stuff.

Part-Time Jobs

There’s four main gigs:

Internet Cafe (Selling Stuff)

Swimming Pool (Catching Creeps)

Love Hotel (Escort Dispatch – Big Money Maker)

Adult Store (Sorting Adult Goods)

Nail these jobs, and you’ll rake in decent cash.

Each stage cleared gets you a girl card.

Harder stages = better card quality.

Filming & Editing Tips

You start with a trash phone.

Battery dies in seconds.

Footage is blurry as hell.

Good news? Blur doesn’t tank your ratings.

Focus on camera work and scene variety.

My first few films looked like garbage.

Once you got some cash, even with a junk phone,

Grab 2-3 of ‘em to survive early game.

Early on, you can only edit 3-minute shorts.

Phone can barely shoot two 40-second clips.

Not enough footage? Split shoots over a couple days.

To pay debts, aim for one long film a week.

Most scenes have 10 actions to pick from.

Milk every scene for all it’s worth.

Early game, cram 9 actions into 20 seconds to max badges.

As story progresses, you can buy a decent smartphone.

Save up for two of ‘em, trust me.

Fill key scenes to 40 seconds.

You don’t wanna shoot the same scene twice.

That’s pure torture.

Quick Cash Methods

I dropped 1-2 long films weekly.

Ratings were solid, so cash flowed steady.

I cleared it in one run.

Found the quick cash trick super late, like after 20 films.

Game hints at it early, though.

Same scene in 5 days? Red warning.

But you can remix old clips into compilations.

Focus on specific body parts or poses for big comps.

If your comp hits a hot market trend,

Sales go through the roof.

Had I caught this early,

Wouldn’t have grinded jobs like a chump.

Balancing Price & Sales

Normally, you wanna price high.

But here’s the kicker: cheaper sells way more.

With steady 90+ ratings,

I flipped between max price and dirt cheap.

Cheapest weeks? Sales hit top 3 (later locked #1).

Kinda like my sad e-commerce days.

Low prices grab market share, build fame,

Then high prices cash in.

Sometimes drop a cheap comp to spike rankings.

Then slap an 8-9 minute long film at premium price.

Cycle like that, and you’ll cruise to victory.

Badge System

Camera work matters a bit.

Miss key body parts? Bad reviews.

Higher badge levels + more badges = better ratings.

Under 20 seconds? No badges.

I only shot long films (40 seconds).

Long films auto-grab film and scene badges.

Badge count ties to variety.

Focus on one body part or style for specific badges.

Badge tiers by element count:

Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum.

All badge types:

Badge Name	Description	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Platinum

Early Game Tricks

Early on, you’re strapped for cash.

Slacking on jobs is fine early.

But mid-game, jobs alone won’t cut it.

Scenes and scenarios ramp up.

New films make bank fast.

I sometimes dropped 2 long films a week.

Early ratings hover around 46.

Then climb to 67.

By mid-game, you’re hitting 85.

Cash flows easy then.

Aim for 95 later.

Never hit a 100 rating.

Dunno if it’s even possible.

Prioritize camera gear.

Battery life is a pain.

Decent phones make life easier.

Later, grab editing software from the item shop.

Extends film length to 9 minutes.

Shoot 10 40-second clips, fill ‘em up.

Editing long films + all scene badges? Easy grab.

Stick to long films for badge farming.

At least three platinum badges per film.

Most scenes have 10 poses.

This setup’s legit (racks up badges like crazy).

Endgame films pull 700k.

Even the final 4M debt?

Three long films in a week, plus comps.

Pulled 6M+, cleared debt, had 2M left.

Scenes + scenarios keep you filming forever.

Upload Hacks

Sneaky game mechanic exploit.

Clips from last 5 weeks can’t be reused.

So, shoot six films.

Cycle and re-edit those six for uploads.

Kinda breaks the game.

Makes it a bit dull, though.

You miss new scenes till post-game.

But… second playthrough? Prolly not.

Six films might max you out anyway.

I stuck to filming one by one.

Cleared debt, felt done.

Shot 30+ films by the end.

Big shoutout to my editor Ben.

This game showed me how hard you grind.

If you haven’t seen my vids, sub here >> YouTube

Final Thoughts

This game’s biggest vibe?

It’s not like old-school games.

Clear it, get vids, get CGs.

Here, you shoot what you wanna see.

Game’s install size is tiny.

But I edited 37 films.

364 clips total.

Save file? 7.15 GB.

Wild, right?

Loved the camera work.

Watching edited vids in-game?

Zoom, stretch, focus—all slick.

You max out your own style.

I didn’t chase market trends.

Just shot what fit each scene.

Turned ‘em into long films.

Top 10 sales? All my films.

Market trends? Who cares.

Grind hard, shoot tons.

Enough films, and weekly sales badges boost cash.

You’ll hit a badge for hot styles.

Passive income spikes (what’s this, a sales pitch??).

Avoid red-flagged recent clips.

Any film pulls tens of thousands, easy.

Push progress when you can.

Don’t sweat weekly results.

Or debt piles up fast.

20 hours of play was wild.

One scene (one film) takes 400 seconds.

Time slips away.

Casual players might struggle for 100%.

Takes serious grind.

You’re filming while watching.

Not your typical adult game.

Felt like my old Premiere nightmares.

Finishing this guide?

That “phew” relief hit hard.

This game left a mark.

Story, planning, gameplay—all fresh.

You really become an AV director.
