I really wanted to enjoy this game more than I did. A game about an angel becoming more corrupted and transformed by a variety of enemies and encounters sounds right up my alley. Unfortuantely, Gehenna seems less interested in being a game about corruption and more a game about stuffing as much grotesque sex in as possible.
It's all too much. The artsyle starts off well enough but things take a turn once you start encountering h-scenes. It's extremely rare that you get a straightforward sex scene here. When characters aren't ejaculating like fire hoses they tend to be drawn with modifications that are extremely jarring, once example is a CG with hulking clowns that have women inside of their skin? And the very start of the game features women acting like literal pigs? It's kind of disgusting, excessive, and even worse, really hard to make out. There are so many pieces filled with so many loud colours and textures that any semblance of eroticism fades away so the only thing you can get a clear reading on are the people blunting and loudly talking about how the sex is making them feel good, like how good their dick feels when somebody's rubbing it, or how good their dick feels when they're putting it inside the anus of another person or how good their dick makes them feel when yadaddadadadada.
What's really unfortunate is that there are genuinely good pieces amidst the deluge of bloated anatomy and grease explosions. The sequence with Mersbell where they possess your body to be reborn as the God of Wriggles was a really interesting concept. I really didn't care for Helvetica's body inexplicably turning into garish green slime and found the subsequent personality excretion and usage of the personality as a sex toy for personality death to be corny and over-the-top, like most things in this game. However, the final transformation was quite the good design (minus the meatily textured double dicks), it uses the green palette and morphs it into a very atypical, but very creative corrupted transformation, a woman in black and green stripes with runes on her forehead, calmly smoking from a pipe. A very welcome stripped back (enough) design.
There are also CG's where your player character transforms into either a vampire or a demon, but even though they're just recycled CGs of your character from the torso up with changing appearances with no sexual content. They're amongst my favorite ones because tasteful decline into a corrupted, sexy monster is a more exciting experience over CGs where you turn into a gasoline-sheen colored, braindead sack of meat that blasts cum everywhere.
This game is extremely hit-or-miss for me, if you think you're the type of person who can stomach an artstyle that gets as lurid as this one, try playing it for an hour and see for yourself and if it's worth lugging through a clunky UI with mediocre fighting.
