Luxuria Superbia

Around the time that I had got this game in a bundle, I was attending a school that handed out Macbooks to all of it's students in high school. While they were meant for educational purposes only on school grounds for the most part (outside of the ones belonging to seniors during their free period), we could do whatever we wanted to at home until we either left or graduated. I managed to hack mine to install Steam on it (not to distract myself during classes, but because the Macbook had better hardware than my Windows-dominated laptop that I had at the time) since that wasn't blocked for whatever reason (along with Wine so I could run MAME on it, but that's beside the point), and I decided to download this since it was so small. During one of my classes, I decided to try it out since I was literally doing nothing at the time, but it wouldn't work for some reason (still not sure why. I got to the loading screen at the start, but it crashed for whatever reason).

Playing it a year after that incident with a new computer, I am so fucking glad that I couldn't get it to work.

Luxuria Superbia is a flower sex simulator. Make of that what you will, though at least know that it's incredibly abstract in it's execution so from a simple glance it's not obvious minus some of the sound effects. To put it in terms of actual mechanics, it's a rail shooter, I guess, but it's honestly hard to remember this while playing it because of the question that ran through my mind: "what the fuck am I doing?". I'm not going to lie, I did feel kind of uncomfortable once I realized what this actually was, though it's aesthetics are at least attractive enough to alleviate that a bit (it's incredibly colorful and has a pretty nice soundtrack). If you have this in your collection, I actually would recommend giving it a shot for one reason: To know that, yes, something like this does exist.

It's surprisingly a decent experience overall. Granted, it's a bit too obnoxiously difficult in it's later stages in my opinion (or maybe I just suck at video games), but at least it's much better than The Graveyard, another one of the developer's games.
