Thicc Thighs Save Lives

Ever wondered what would happen if a pandemic made you quarantine with two incredibly attractive women who happen to have... unique "needs"? Well, that's basically Housemates in a nutshell. This daily life simulation game from Huli serves up a mix of simple storytelling, some spicy animation, and dice rolls – because why not? It's like a slice-of-life anime, but with way more emphasis on "romantic" interactions.

About This Game

Storyline

The plot is as straightforward as it gets: a virus hits the world, and you're stuck indoors with your landlady and a housemate. Lucky for you, they’re both mature women who lean heavily on the curvy side – a thicc milf and a muscle mommy. The story doesn’t try to be profound; it’s more of a convenient backdrop for, well, the main course – the steamy stuff. There’s just enough character progression to keep things from feeling totally shallow, and the multiple endings offer a bit of variety.

Gameplay Mechanics

Gameplay in Housemates revolves around exploring your quarantine home, interacting with the ladies, and increasing your relationship stats through conversations, massages, and, let’s face it, intimate encounters. Dice rolls add a random element, but mostly, you’re playing to unlock all the juicy scenes. There’s some stat-grinding, but nothing too overwhelming, and it’s all fairly linear once you know what to do.

Visuals & Audio

The hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animations are a standout. Each of the 70+ scenes is beautifully animated and leans into the art style Huli fans will already know and love. The character designs are bold and curvaceous, catering to a specific taste that isn’t always common in this genre. On the audio front, the addition of sound effects in the romantic scenes is a nice touch, adding an extra layer of immersion (or distraction, depending on your vibe).

Pros

Gorgeous animations with a consistent and appealing art style.
A wide variety of scenes to unlock, with impressive attention to detail.
Multiple endings, including a secret harem ending for completionists.
Playful, easygoing story that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Cons

The story and character development are pretty shallow.
Gameplay can feel repetitive; it’s mostly a means to unlock scenes.
Price might feel a little steep unless you’re already a fan of Huli's work.
Limited cast – you’re only interacting with two characters the whole time.

Conclusion

Housemates knows exactly what it’s aiming for, and it delivers. If you’re here for the "plot", you won’t be disappointed. The animations are top-notch, the scenes are varied, and the overall vibe is fun and flirty. Sure, it’s not groundbreaking in terms of storytelling or gameplay, but if you’re into adult visual novels with a focus on thicc, well-drawn characters, this one’s worth a look – especially on sale.

Rating: 8/10

Thicc, spicy, and entertaining, but not without a few cracks in the foundation.
