Game Review - Pleasure Inc

Ah, the ‘80s – the decade of big shoulder pads and bigger hair! Even though most people are more nostalgic for the ‘90s these days, plenty still pine for the days of heavy synthesizers, flashy neon, and terrible movies. Thankfully, Rocket Cola is here for all those boomers in the crowd, with a stylish, addictive game that’ll have you scrambling for your leg warmers and AquaNet.

Pleasure Inc. is an idle business sim that takes the lurching specter of ‘80s capitalist excess and turns it into sexy fun! With the help of gorgeous and talented middle managers you take under your wing, you’ll propel your sex toy business from humble origins to a booming mover and shaker in the erotic entertainment industry. Along the way, meet delectable divas who are itching to get wet and wild with your kinky creations. Filled with orgasms galore featuring ‘80s exercise queens and cutthroat businesswomen, Pleasure Inc. brings a whole new meaning to “trickle down” economics.

What really sells Pleasure Inc. itself, though, are the candy-coated neon visuals. The game’s aesthetic is like a Saturday morning cartoon crashed into a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, with ‘toon girls that only ever existed in your teenage fantasies banging their way across a sprawling city filled with bright lights and flashing billboards. As you’re clicking away and upgrading your sex work empire, the city grows and evolves all around you, as it grows into a wet dream of retrofuturism while you work hard to satisfy the wet dreams of your customers. Along the way, your girls will check in on your progress, and treat you to sexy animations as you hit each new milestone.

But that’s not all! As your helpful robot assistant, Bella Bottoms, will show you after you finish the game’s tutorials, you’ll also be treated to high-quality pictures of each girl in the cast. Like plenty of other Nutaku games, you’ll spend valuable time exchanging messages with them, getting to know their tastes, and (hopefully) being a good enough flirt to sweet them off their feet. Whether you’re in the mood for nerdy professor Dixie Lickwood, rebellious biker Laura Lubricabra, or typical valley girl Lisa Bendover, you can make all of your ‘80s starlet dreams come true – and you don’t even need to stand outside of anyone’s window with a boombox!

Pleasure Inc. indulges all of our craziest ‘80s dreams with its quirky and memorable cast, and offers something that really looks and feels like it’s ripped right from that decade. There are plenty of games out there that let you build your own sexy business, but not a lot of them are set in the ‘80s, and the presentation of that era here goes a long way towards making this worth installing. So, the next time you want to bang a totally righteous babe from the ‘80s, you don’t need a DeLorean or a Circle K phone booth – just install Pleasure Inc. and pour some sugar on its gorgeous cast.

(After all – girls just wanna have fun!)

Pleasure Inc. is available now on Android and PC.
