SKETCHY MASSAGE
怪しいマッサージ屋
Game Overview
Massage parlor games have always been super popular in the adult gaming scene
Last time I covered “Former School Queen Visits My Massage Parlor” which was pretty challenging gameplay-wise
If you haven’t checked that one out yet, definitely go peep my previous review
But this game’s totally different
This is basically a straight-up simulator
You can pretty much get right to the good stuff
Though you still gotta play it cool at first
Gameplay Mechanics
Right off the bat you’ll see this white semi-transparent towel
covering the female character
You gotta build trust during the massage process
before you can gradually remove that cloth
Progress System:
There are 4 total stages
Each stage requires 2500 MP
You need 10,000 MP total to max out trust
The game has 3 main scenes
Including basic lying massage scene, W-leg position, and cowgirl style
Plus there’s tons of customization options
Eye rolling, heart effects, steam effects
Even body hair density and stuff…
The custom settings are all about what you’re into, so adjust away
Scene 1
First, check out the scene completion requirements
It starts grayed out by default
Once it turns green, you’ve met the completion conditions
In the first scene you can experience massaging different body parts
Obviously you start with just head and inner thigh access
Touch that towel and she’ll get pissed lol
As your MP gradually increases you can pull away the upper section
After breaking through the first threshold, chest area unlocks
But the lower region is still locked down
Keep doing various massages to build that rapport
Once you hit LEVEL 2
Your fingers can start working the lower area
This is when you’ll notice the pink progress bar
starts filling up way faster
When that bar maxes out… well, that’s when she reaches the peak
At LEVEL 3 you can completely remove the cloth
Pro Tip:
Now you can start getting into some kinky play
Try to max out that 10k MP
That way you can bring your little buddy into the action
This is where you can start pulling off combo moves
You can let your little buddy go solo if you want
But you can also set it to auto-enter
Your hands can work different areas for strategic gameplay
Once you hit the climax, Scene 2 unlocks
Scene 2
The gameplay here is pretty similar
Main thing to note is that services/toys need to be unlocked with MP
This scene’s easier overall
But feels a bit more grindy
Grinding Strategy:
Buy all the MP unlock items to speed up the grind
The final items generate MP super fast
If you bought the hand add-on you can even spank while you work
You’ll reach Scene 3 in no time
Scene 3
This one has a battle mode
You spend 10k MP
Win and you get back 30k
The requirement is maxed trust value
This is basically free money…
The battle mode secret is super simple
It’s basically a rhythm game lmao
When she sits all the way down, you slap her left cheek
Hit it on beat and you’ll hear the hit sound effect
So you can get a feel for the timing
If you nail it you can combo two slaps per attack
It’ll throw in delays and speed-ups
During delays you can interact with other areas
Use the downtime to farm some MP
When it speeds up at the end it’s basically a free-for-all
‘Cause button mashing works fine then
Hit the beats and it goes even faster
Once that energy bar fills up
Challenge complete
Scene 4 (Reward Zone)
This is the image exchange area
You can trade for epilogue content, cover art, character designs
Game Tips:
If you’re short on MP (trust not high enough)
Just farm Scene 3
Scene 3 also has regular interactions
Even before entering challenge mode you can use regular interactions
Points accumulate crazy fast there
Don’t rush to buy bonus zone stuff
MP farming through challenge mode is way more efficient
Having to re-farm 10k MP is a real pain in the ass…
Achievement Guide
No other way around it – farm Scene 3 for everything
Whether it’s 100 climaxes
Or grinding to 1 million MP
Don’t even think about using Scenes 1 and 2 for this
That’s just torture
Though I’m not totally sure about this
I didn’t count carefully
But I feel like Scene 3’s non-battle interactions
Even though the climax speed is fast
The count seems a bit off
I ended up rotating between different scenes
Took me 2.4 hours to get all achievements
If you’re really going for 100%
Good luck, you’ll need it
Final Thoughts
Even though this game is basically a no-holds-barred simulator
First off, the portrait orientation really shrinks the viewing area
So everything’s vertical and the backgrounds are pretty basic
Also there’s no action loop options in the controls
Which means you’re constantly moving your mouse the whole time
That might affect the… practical usability if you know what I mean
Visually there’s some pixelation but it doesn’t hurt the viewing experience, I think it’s fine
Wonder if they’ll release an uncensored version later
