SUE AFTER THE VALLEY

Milton Price at 38 is the kind of guy who thinks a fake girlfriend solves everything. You know the type. In Sue: After the Valley, you’re not really playing him as much as steering his bad decisions through one long, awkward social function. It’s a lesson of passion joint so the writing has that specific stilted horniness, like a soap opera scripted by someone who really wants to get to the couch scenes. The whole thing hinges on Sue, obviously. She’s the Snake Valley carryover, here aged into proper MILF territory with the same dead eyed 3D cg face stretched over a body that’s mostly breasts. The interaction menu is weirdly granular. You can ask her about hors d’oeuvres or directly negotiate how much of her cleavage should be visible when the business partners show up. I tracked 9 different route flags before I stopped caring and just clicked the dialog option that said something like “maybe take off the jacket.” She did. Then there was a sex scene that involved a lot of slow, mechanical thrusting and one sound effect loop that sounded like someone slapping a wet leather couch. Multiple endings exist. I got one where Milton’s cover story collapses because Sue gets bored and starts a rumor about him being into feet. Another ending just cut to black mid conversation, no explanation. The unlockable gallery is fine if you like staring at the same 14 renders from slightly different zoom levels. I never did figure out if the law firm plot mattered. There’s a “partner track” meter that maybe changes one line of dialog. Anyway, the interactive sex scenes are the thing, and they work about as well as you’d expect from a browser game that wants to be a visual novel but can’t stop showing you its spreadsheet underneath. Some people will love the branching stats. I just kept waiting for a “skip to the part where she rides him” button.
