Firstly I would like to preface this by saying that the first part of this review is about the "Anaxverse" in general, with the second portion being dedicated to whichever VN this review is found on.
Part One:
The Anaxverse is a competently (though not seamlessly) interconnected group of VNs with varying amounts of mechanical complexity and flavour that share the same setting, characters, and lore. This universe has a sort of weird fantasy vibe that mixes and mashes high fantasy elements with witches, wizards, demons, etc with sci-fi elements aliens, metahumans. etc. One moment you could be reading about lake monsters or dark gods and the next superheroes might be fighting a mad German scientist who likes to lobotomize people for kicks. The setting is novel, to say the least.
When it comes to the sexual content of the Anaxverse the fetishes are usually centered around corruption through dark forces (the nature of those dark forces are however varied as is their method of corrupting people), however, that's not to say that the setting is completely incapable of producing more light and vanilla content (just that it is in the extreme minority). The other facet of the sexual content is the medium in which it is communicated, some VNs in this series will use photoshopped images (usually the older entries in the series) while others will use CG images, I prefer the former. However, the nature of the scenes and the fact the images at least used photoshop make the older entries still worthwhile if you're on the fence about them.
Part Two:
Cult of Corruption: The Summoning is by far my favourite non-CG entry into the Anaxverse. In this VN you play as Bo Wyatt trying to combat the dark forces of Nergal both internally within his soul and externally as Nergal's corruption functions much like an STD, degrading anyone who exchanges' bodily fluids with the infected.
The sexual content of the game is obviously about corruption, not just of the mind but also of the soul and body of the various characters. You will see women and perhaps Wyatt (depending on how you play your cards) get extremely deformed. So if that is not your cup of tea I would recommend skipping this entry.
My two issues with The Cult of Corruption that lead me to knock a star off of this VN are the use of real porn (I'm not a huge fan of real porn in my H-games) and the lack of mechanics when I play a "game" I like there to be gameplay. However, outside of those two issues I cannot recommend Cult of Corruption enough.
