AO Archives: Sexy Airlines EVO

I don't think we've done an AO Archives entry for 2026 yet. Let's change that, shall we?

Developing a New Type of Dating Sim

Developed by Playduction and published by Nutaku Publishing, Sexy Airlines EVO launched on Windows via Steam on 20 December 2021. Built in Unity, it follows the now-familiar indie adult formula: lightweight idle-clicker mechanics layered over a dating sim structure, wrapped in explicit content.

It later became playable on Mac and Linux through compatibility tools, with Steam Deck support listed — though with the usual “your mileage may vary” caveats that tend to follow niche adult PC titles.

Reception-wise, this is one of the more interesting aspects of this title. Why? Well, the reviews are sitting squarely in the mixed side of things.

What that tells you is that some players enjoy the game’s idle clickable progression and cheeky premise — especially for a free-to-play title. On the other hand, almost as many feel short-changed by the experience. Common threads in the Steam review data paint a picture of a game that does exactly what it promises (hire flight attendants, upgrade your crew, flirt and interact), but doesn’t go much deeper than that.

The Premise is...Honestly Kind of Boring

Okay, so let me say this straight out: the premise is kinda boring. There isn't really a story. You start as a pilot who gets fired after being caught having sex with one of the stewardesses in the cockpit. A few months later, the two of you have started your own airline - Sexy Airlines.

You plot and track flights, assigning flight attendants, and so on. In the process, you chat with them, upgrade planes, build a villa, and, obviously, get laid...a lot.

What did I like about Sexy Airlines EVO?

First off, the game is free-to-play, which makes it an easy game to get into. You're not worrying about expensive extra stuff.

Apart from being a free game, it's also easy to play; it's something you don't need to put a lot of effort into. Progress is slow; you just click buttons from time to time.

The character art is nice, and the occasional video clips are also very nice.

It's also very easy to access the adult content in the game - every time you level up, you get a new adult clip.

What didn't I like about Sexy Airlines EVO?

The mechanics are repetitive, click, click, click, and that's it. The management system is shallow; most management systems are at least a bit complicated. This time it's not so much.

The story and character development are, to put it bluntly, very limited. As nice as the characters look, they have little to no personality, and this doesn't change as you progress through the levels. Speaking of progression, let's discuss that next.

Progression is slow, very, very slow. You need to level up your attendants and your plane to increase the amount of money you can make. You can spend real money to make things easier, but if you don't, then you're forced to grind through the game (I know there's a pun or joke there, but I don't think it's safe to make here on Vocal).

Speaking of spending money, the monetization in the game is aggressive - to put it mildly, you get in-game currency in a couple of ways but, in general, your in-game money is kind of pointless. The 'lost luggage' stuff is basically a loot box mechanic, because the contents are randomized so you don't know what you're going to get. This can make things frustrating when you need something specific.

In Conclusion

So is this one worth your time? Frankly? No, I don't think so. That may surprise you, because I usually say the exact opposite. In the previous entries, I was able to find something positive that would make it easy to recommend to a point.

This time, I just can't find anything. It had a lot of potential, I can say that much. Sadly, that potential is wasted leaving us with a very boring experience.

There's another game called Sexy Space Airlines, which is basically the same thing, just set in space with a slightly different storyline. I mention it here because I don't think I'm going to review it in this series.
