Story

You play as a Stefan, a new employee working at NSF&W. The first week on the job is to see how you would do if you were hired. But it doesn’t go exactly as planned as you become bored very quickly, and NSF&W can’t have a bored employee. Despite disliking your new job, Stefan must find a way to stay happy which manifest as naughty videos. Can you last the whole week without getting caught?

Gameplay

NSFW has a pretty standard gameplay. Make sure you’re Fun Scale doesn’t run out while also making sure no one sees you watching the videos. You can hear the foot steps of your coworkers a few seconds before they come through the door, giving you some time to click off of the videos. You have an option of making some small talk, cut them off if they start the conversation, or let them walk by. Just watch your fun scale and make sure your coworkers are out of site.

However, it gets more difficult as you continue playing. The job and the videos have different modes, which act as minigames. With each upgrade, the minigames become more interactive, and in turn louder. The moans activated when you earn hearts. This can easily take your attention away if you’re not careful. While it doesn’t seem significant to do the minigames for the jobs, it does in the simulator mode. Whether your actually doing your job or not, the minigames can quickly take your mind off of the objective. The minigames serve as a way to earn currency, one for getting jobs (which shows after the campaign) and one to get more videos. Checks also become more frequent and hidden. This gives more depth as you can hear the coworkers, but you can’t hear the check unless it’s too late. Other conditions are added, such as no talking day, to add to the difficulty as you try to not get fired.

The coworkers, while pegged to be annoying, do have some depth. Each character talks, acts, and work in a different area in NSF&W. You have options to befriend them, which gives you more about their background and more videos, having specific interactions that increase your reputation. In any other situation, these characters would be interesting to interact with. However, most of them snitch on you. If NSF&W wasn’t so forgiving, how would you get money for videos?

Sound

NSFW uses sound as it’s main advantage and disadvantage. You can hear coworkers coming with footsteps or the squeaking of wheels but the moans from the videos almost drowns out everything. If you don’t listen closely, the day will end quickly. Despite this, the sound is balanced in a way that you can still hear the signs of your coworkers coming under the moans.

Art Style

NSFW has a pizelated style throughout the gameplay. The office, workers, and the videos each stand out by themselves, with the minigames only including coins or hearts to distinguish them from everything else. The coworkers have a simple walking and reactions animations that draw attention as they walk past. This is different from the various job animations that completes in junks instead of bits at a time. While the videos include eye catching color and different animations from the rest. This truly succeeds in making work boring and watching naughty videos fun.

Performance

NSFW runs pretty well. The only lag that might show would be in the minigames, but it quickly goes away.

Replayability

The Campaign might seem like that is all to the game, along with if you search up gameplay, but that is untrue. Once you survive the 7 days another mode appears. This allows players to get all of the videos, while having the player buy the programs needed to do various jobs. This is endless, as long as you are determined to play it can deliver. Steam achievements encourages more gameplay which can easily be achieved in this mode. Once all videos are collected, another mode is unlocked to view all of the videos.
