Gooners Academy: 48 Laws of Power v1.0
This thing is weird in a way I kind of respect. It pretends to be “educational” and “no AI” and all that, but what you’re really doing is staring at 2B’s ass while trying to remember which of Robert Greene’s laws is about crushing your enemy completely and which one is about never outshining the master. It looks like some horny student project that escaped from itch.io, but in a good way. The style is simple, 2D, a bit crude sometimes, like old flash hentai games you’d play in a browser window hidden behind a fake Excel sheet. You click through this visual novel parody where 2B is not the usual silent killer android, she’s more like your unhinged life coach who happens to be dressed for a hentai convention. The dialogue has this broken “motivational guru” tone that keeps shifting from serious to horny to pure shitpost. One moment she’s explaining a law from the book in a half-decent way, next line she asks you if you’d remember it better while “stroking your ego”. Ego is not the word my brain picked in that moment, honestly.
There is this one scene where she quizzes you on a law you just read. The setup is so dumb it loops back to being kind of smart. You get a multiple choice question about power dynamics, and if you pick wrong she doesn’t just say “wrong”. She starts roasting you, telling you you’d be the side character in your own life, then it cuts to this lewd CG where she “rewards” you anyway, like the game is openly admitting that you are not here to become a better human. At some point I caught myself actually trying to get the answers right, not because I care about power, but because I wanted to see if the “correct” path unlocked different porn scenes or just different punchlines. Spoiler: it kind of does both and neither. It’s chaotic. Some routes feel like full-on gooning simulator, where you click forward, ignore text, and let the hentai loop while your other hand does its usual business. Then suddenly the script throws a line that sounds like your therapist calling you out, and you pause, read it three times, and feel strangely attacked by a parody about Nier. There is even a moment where 2B misquotes one of the laws completely, and I’m still not sure if it was a joke or just sloppy writing that became a joke by accident. I like that. Accidental poetry of horny people.
What confused me, in a good way, is how it mixes the Nier Automata fanservice with “social skills” advice. At one point 2B is explaining how to keep your composure in public, while the screen is filled with this close shot of her thighs in that dress everyone knows. She gives you options like “stay calm”, “mirror their body language”, or “imagine them naked”, and only the last option actually progresses to the lewd scene. In narrative theory talk, that’s emergent plot created by your own worst instincts, but in regular talk, it’s just funny to see a “lesson” that only rewards you for being a perv. Sometimes the humor hits perfectly, like a joke about Yoko Taro watching you through the monitor taking notes on your kinks. Sometimes it falls flat or gets a bit too try-hard, especially when it references memes that already felt old back when people still argued about Automata’s endings on Reddit. And there is one tiny UI sound that repeats every choice click, this little “pip”, that drove me insane, but I never bothered to mute the tab. The sex scenes themselves are fine, not mind blowing, more like comfortable porn you put on like a dirty hoodie. Some loops go on a bit too long, and the facial expressions on 2B can jump from dead-eyed doll to over-the-top hentai face in half a second, which broke the mood for me more than once, but then a stupid punchline in the text made me laugh and I forgot I was supposed to be annoyed. It’s messy, horny, half-educational, half-parody, and somehow feels more honest than a lot of polished “serious” erotic visual novels pretending to be deep.
