Early Accsex: Orc Massage
Overview
Orc Massage is a character-driven 3D sex simulation developed by TorchEntertainmant and published by Critical Bliss and Mango Party. It entered Early Access on Steam on February 8th 2022 and doesn't currently have a full release date.
You are a big green orc with a penchant for massage. Your goblin friend encourages you to start a career by offering massages to the local population of monster girls. Your three VIP clients each have their own short story to progress which evolves in to more... attentive massages each time. Are there strict ethical guidelines that every massage therapist must follow in order to maintain their license? Yes, but when these VIP clients want the big green D it would honestly just be rude to refuse.
Characters
Thalia is your first VIP client. She's a high powered elf CEO with a lot of pent up stress. She guides you through the ropes of massaging and beyond. The first client who asks for a little extra attention. She is also the most humanoid client you have so if you aren't ready for full-on monster girl action, she's a great way to dip your toe into the deep end.
Ava is a harpy with a sore neck. She's always on her phone and is generally disinterested in whatever you're doing, leaning into the "no notice" kink. She's thin and lanky and I really appreciate that the dev didn't shy away from having to deal with her massive wings, something that can cause a lot of collision issues in indie games.
Valerie is a tiger girl who is also a cop. She's the least humanoid of the VIP clients, as she's covered in fur and mimics a lot of cat mannerisms. She catches you giving the VIP treatment to Thalia and vows to offer her body so that you don't keep committing "crimes" with these other girls. Or is she maybe jealous?
Gameplay
There are two primary gameplay modes; everyday customers, and VIP customers.
Everyday Customers
In between VIP visits you can open your doors to a variety of faceless monster ladies that are your only source of income. These massages are delivered via a simple rhythm game in which you click, or not click, in time according to the desires of the customer. Some of the people reading this may already know, but rhythm games are on of my favorite genres, meaning I have unreasonably high standards for them. This part of the game unfortunately falls short for a few reasons.
The first shortcoming is that the timing, while simple, can be difficult to follow. switching between clicks and nothing is a little weird, and I wish that instead it was switching between left and right clicking, or something like that.
The second shortcoming is in the sound effects when clicking. Rhythm game sound effects are best when they're short and punchy, with the primary sound starting at the very first instance of the sound file. In this case, there's a few milliseconds of lead up to the sound. This makes my brain try to take the lead time into account, and can result in me clicking too early.
My third and final complaint with this mode is that it's the only way to make money. The VIP customers give you no payment, so if you want to upgrade your massage skills, you have to play this game over and over. It's not particularly fun or sexy so it feels like I'm wasting my time when playing it. I'm not sure what plans the dev has for this mode but I hope when the full game comes out its either heavily reworked or removed.
VIP Customers
These customers are the reason for playing the game. As they keep coming back you unlock more modes to go through with them, culminating in a sex scene. How well you do in each mode affects your relationship with them. When your relationship reaches a new milestone you unlock the next continuation of their story, and a new sexy interaction.
Massage
You move around the monster girl, applying different forms of pressure until all the little dots on her body turn into hearts. As your relationship with a given VIP improves, they switch from a clothed massage, to a towel massage, to a nude massage. After which she has an orgasm, and you move on to the next scene.
Feel Around
The next phase involves you controlling two disembodied orc hands, and feeling around for specific areas on the VIP's body. Sometimes the target locations make sense, but often it's something like their shoulder or hip. Which I guess makes sense for a massage, but this is a sexy massage. Once you find all three locations, she has another orgasm and you move on.
Deep Massage
Similar to Feel Around mode, you are once again two disembodied hands but this time your intent is more sexual. Find their sweet spots and waggle the mouse to make them happy. Another orgasm, another progression.
Sex
What we've all been waiting for. Watch the Orc and the VIP go at it. At first you only have one position but each time you go through the whole massage you unlock a new scene, up to four each total. The downside is that once you finally unlock the first scene, you have to go through the entire list of modes again to unlock the next. Meaning it's a total of at least seven massages to unlock all four scenes. There is some variation in the positions and difficulty throughout, but it still gets a little tedious, especially if you make a mistake and have to add another massage in to increase the VIP's romance meter. But don't get me wrong, the sex scenes are incredible.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
Great Sex Scenes
Unique Gameplay
Even if it's not particularly awe inspiring, it's at least more original than many other lewd indie games
Cute Style
The orc and girls are incredibly cute
Toe curl
I'm not a foot guy but the fact that they added curling toes with the monster feet is a really nice touch
Cons:
- Rhythm game is boring but necessary to continue with the VIPs
- Having to go through every round of gameplay, every single time
- Lets you take the POV of the Orc but not the girl
Parting thoughts
Orc Massage is already miles ahead of many other lewd games in its pricepoint. I can't wait to see how the gameplay evolves. You should absolutely play this.
