This short game, along with its sister games Hurt Me Plenty and Succulent, tries to expand eroticism in games beyond a cutscene. What if sex in games was something we did, instead of something we obtained? One way to do sex is to see sex everywhere. Sex here, sex there, sex behind yonder tree!... and sex through the tender caresses that seduce gay cars everywhere.

HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO? This game has a huge video tutorial and cosplay community, but be advised that 90% of the video material will be inaccurate. (e.g. in-game, the AI will automatically clutch for you) Beware, this game is a little difficult, be patient...

Is this SAFE FOR WORK??? There is no human nudity in this game at all, but there are plenty of hot naked gay cars, big swollen exposed gear sticks, and oozing exhaust pipes.
