Foreword

Gameplay (3/5★)
Pick a character and guide them through their love life! You may choose to play the game as Claryce or James. Their fates are somewhat intertwined, but they are provide functionally separate stories. There are a few player choices through out each story, which can lead to one of nine endings.
Story (4/5★)
Claryce is a gay, amateurs artist that works in a gallery. One day, a smoking hot woman named Keeley comes into her place of work. Egged-on by her gay boss, Felix, she approaches her. Keeley is a business woman with a troubled romantic past; when she found out James was cheating on her, she fell apart. Claryce likes what she sees, but she’ll have to ease her way into Keleey’s barely bicurious heart if she wants to score! Unfortunately for James, Keleey was his only source of income — when she left him, he was forced to live on “unemployment checks”. With no other options for work, he turns to candid pornography. Ultimately, his newfound sexual pursuits intersects with Keleey’s newfound love life!
Visuals (4/5★)
The titlescreen looks great! It’s suggestive and nicely arranged. The user-interface is very attractive. From “Settings”, you may adjust audio, display, and language preferences. Endings and sex-scenes can be reviewed from “Extras”. The user-interface can be totally hidden via the “X” button on the lower-right. The game appears to be rendered using 3D models with artistic filters. The filters are pretty light, and they actually work pretty well (for the most part). Sometimes, they make the graphics appear more realistic! I spotted occasional clipping and stretching, but these errors were relatively rare.
Hey Tora Production, can y’all release some super sexy HD wallpapers?
The ‘Goods’ (4/5★)
There are twenty-three sex-scenes. They are separated by characters involved and their relationship status. Each scene offers dialogue and one or more CGs. Some CGs are animated, but they are pretty choppy. They could really use a few more frames! The artwork is high-quality, and character development owes to more sensual content (especially for Claryce’s story arc). There’s a lot of hairy genitalia, so if “untamed territory” ain’t your thing you may be a little grossed out. There’s a lesbian and straight sex, but if you’re interested in gay boy sex you’re gonna be disappointed.
Maybe I wanted to see Felix’s pee-pee — that man had some style!
Verdict (4/5★)
Consider waiting for a light sale. . . but not bad at all! Usually when Drunk Robot sends me games, they’re. . . okay (please don’t drop my funding!) But Life Changes For Keeley was a pleasant surprise. There aren’t regular spelling errors, and the sexual content is kind of hot. There’s meaningful story and character development, and it’s graphically decent. James offers more sex-focused content, which is more up lewd gamers’ ally. On the other hand, Claryce offers stronger character-building (with a side of lesbian sexy time!) Life Changes For Keeley is a short and sweet game that you can easily finish in a sitting or two. I think it’s a pricey as-is, but when it goes on sale it’s worth picking up!
