Euphoria Review

(Demo Main Menu image used due to NSFW nature of full game title screen)

Keisuke Takatou wakes up one morning to find himself in an unknown white room surrounded by six girls from his school. Their memories seemingly stripped, the group stands around in confusion, until suddenly, a strange voice begins to make an announcement: “The game will now begin.” The game’s rules are simple: there are five rounds. Keisuke, the “unlocker”, must select one of the girls to become his “keyhole”. Once the keyhole has been selected, the unlocker must perform a specified sexual act using the keyhole in order to win the round and unlock the doors leading to the outside world. The class representative for Keisuke’s class, Miyako Andou, lashes out in horror at the mysterious announcer and exclaims her forfeiture from the game, refusing to allow herself to be used as a keyhole. Suddenly, the lights turn off and the room is engulfed in darkness. When the lights come back on, everyone stares horrified at what is before their very eyes: Miyako Andou tied to an electric chair. Overhead, the mysterious announcer booms “Withdrawal from the game will result in death,” before the electric chair is turned on, sending terrifying electric currents into Miyako’s body, frying her insides as she dies a slow, agonizing death.

As the other girls cry and watch in horror, Keisuke finds himself becoming increasingly aroused as he watches the torture in front of him. For Keisuke has a deep, dark secret that he has kept hidden from the world: the desire to rape, torture, and watch women suffer. Much to Keisuke’s dismay, however, his classmate Nemu Manaka has figured out his taste for sexual assault and destruction against women, using it to her advantage and forcing Keisuke to listen to her requests, lest she reveal his sadistic desires. Will he let go and relinquish control to the beast that lurks in his heart, or can Keisuke keep his inner demons at bay and save himself and the girls from this white-walled nightmare?

Hanachirasu Review


Hanachirasu is a story of rivalry and vengeance set in an alternate modern day Japan, where the atomic bomb was never successfully developed during World War II and thus never detonated. Tokyo has since become an isolated haven for Japanese culture and the way of the sword, with firearms being completely banned from the city aside from a select few. Hanachirasu’s tale focuses on two men and their quest to kill each other; Takeda Akane, who longs to face his one true rival, and Igarasu Yoshia, a man driven by the desire to exact revenge for his slain lover.

Fault -Milestone One- Director's Cut Review



For decades, the peaceful kingdom of Rughznahide and its people prospered under its monarchy and the advances in Manakravte manipulation. Things such as war and violence were almost unheard of in this land that preferred peace and pacifism, until one day a mysterious group of people attack Rughznahide castle, setting it and the surrounding city ablaze in an inferno of death and blood in an attempt to kill Princess Selphine, successor to the throne of Rughznahide and inheritor of the unique and fabled Path-Down manakravte. 

On the verge of defeat, Ritona, Selphine's Royal Guard, casts a manakravte that transports them to a dark forest in unknown territory. Put on edge by the strange vegetation and a thick, heavy atmosphere seemingly devoid of mana, the pair sets off to find signs of life in hopes of finding out exactly where they are and how to get back to their kingdom. Along this journey, one major question weighs heavily on Ritona's mind; Just who were their assailants, and why do they seek the death of Selphine?
