Ever stumbled upon a game that made you raise an eyebrow but still got weirdly curious? That’s how I felt with 'Massage: Taboo Quickie'. It’s one of those adult-oriented visual novels where the premise revolves around, well, giving massages—but with a lot of ahem extra ‘services’. The story follows a protagonist who ends up in sketchy massage parlors, and let’s just say the ‘quickie’ part isn’t about speed. The dialogue’s cheesy, the animations are janky, and the plot’s thinner than tissue paper, but it’s got this so-bad-it’s-kinda-fun vibe if you’re into guilty pleasure games.
What’s wild is how it leans into every cliché—naive clients, ‘accidental’ slips, and over-the-top reactions. It’s not winning any awards for subtlety, but it’s weirdly entertaining if you approach it like a B-movie. I played it once with friends for laughs, and we spent more time roasting the writing than actually ‘playing’. Would I recommend it? Only if you’re in the mood for something ridiculous and don’t take it seriously. Otherwise, steer clear—it’s about as deep as a puddle.
