    I really enjoyed, it was a lot more wholesome than I expected, if you want a good horror mystery game and don´t mind gore then I would recommend it, there is a gore filter but I would recommend turning it off.

    The music is also very good.

    The sex scenes were okay, they were either horror or just wholesome, so I wouldn´t recommend playing it if you want erotic scenes only.

    Now I will talk about the story and characters so I will spoil things so don´t read on if you haven´t played it.







    The story was paced pretty good, I liked the mystery and the reveals, some things could have been explained more, like the ritual and the stone but there is enough context to understand enough about it all.

    The characters were mostly good and I was surprised that almost all had some kind of sympathy even gore wasn´t that evil, which I didn´t expect because you know he eats and rapes and tortures people.

    Kyoji was a okay protagonist, I liked that his fondness of monsters played a role in the story.

    Akane was meh, she was pretty unlikeable at times and made some stupid decisions which made the shadashima rape scene kind of worse because I just thought "yeah maybe you should have listened to you friends who got attacked before your eyes because of sadashima." I didn´t hate her and still had fun with her character but it could have been better.

    Aoi was good, I liked her personality and story could very much put myself in her shoes, her hate or dislike about Akane was very understadable and didn´t make her unlikeable.

    Kiika felt like a side character, her story was kinda weird, like her thing is that she is kinda more horny and she has an strict awful mother, it just wasn´t engaging.

    Yumiko, was just very likeable, her backstory with Yukari was interesting and her whole route was very good.

    Shinta at first I thought he would be the standart annoying pervert best friend, but he was luckily much more likeable, he still had some pervert moments but they felt more realistic and most importantly he felt like a friend, the moment where he gave Kyoji a monster keyring because he knew Kyoji liked monster stuff was very cute.

    Yoshiki, poor man died way too many times, I liked him and his relationship with Kyoji was good.

    Shadashima, he could have been better but still was a good school bully, I loved his design and voice making him tall was way better then just the stereotype tanned with piercings.

    The three weirdos, were awful they should have been cut, they are just filler and offensive comedy, like homour is objectiv but it was just "look one is fat and ugly but has a really high voice, look one is extremly skinny and ugly and talk like a hag, look one looks decent but talk weird and is annoying" Andou is another character who wasn´t needed but atleast he had one death scenes the three weirdos don´t even have that.

    Yukari was very cute and funny, and her story was just tragic, the stone freezing time of the moment it good absorbed it extremly terrifying not only the age but the feelings and things you felt. Like as someone who has a extreme fear of bugs getting on my skin it´s terrifying imagining you would feel that endlessly.

    Gore screaming show, was a good villain, his design and metallig voice were good.

    So, to begin with, this was my first BlackCyc Game and my first"Heavily dark and graphic VN" and honestly it is a great one to start out with, Its gore is over the top and almost feels cheesy 80's because of it. however, the writing during these scenes was amazing enough to make me, a former emt, squirm abit. As my JP improves definitely going to check out more of thiss studio and its given me the courage to try something like Euphoria.

    My recommended route order
    Kiika-Akane-Aoi- Yumeko-Yuka(ri)

    This is because Kiika's route is so far disconnected from the others it keeps you wanting more, understanding the least. and has some of the better CG's in both gore and good sex. It builds ur walls up forAkane who has the scenes that made me fast clicjk thru due to subject matter. Aoi is almost always recommended to do after Akane however I did Aoi's first and this is probably part of why i cannot stand Akane.
    Other peoples recommended order
    Akane-Aoi-Kiika-Yumeko- Yuka(ri)

    Akane gives alot of the main info
    Aoi follows it up
    Kiika does her thing
    Yumeko reveals the pov of the main group
    Yuka(ri) reveals everything.

    OVERALL RATING 9/10- A lot of super mild flaws that adds up however i cant go lower than a 9. This game does so many things flawlessly that it makes up for the flaws. Gore Screaming Show is from ~2006, and it still holds up!

    translation-
    9.5/10- there was some mistranslations during the akane route regarding "butter" super mild and I only caught it bc i just bought and played the jp version recently

    Gameplay- 10/10 very good VN set up with 3 minigames that i've found... oddly tho the mini games appear in my "settings" menu instead of the gallery like it does in the JP version.

    Route lengths- 10-25 hours per character with the exception of Yameko (~ 9 hours due to it being most repeated info and imo a lot more condensed)

    Characters- 7/10 I HATE AKANE! with a passion. Aoi amazing and best girl. Kiika was cute asf and felt like an innocent bystander u just wanted to protect. Yumeko a bro, Yuka(ri) is fucking hilarious i died so much laughing in her route. Yoshiki is my favorite character in the whole game. I ALMOST FORGOT THE HOMEBOI SHINTA, dude is a homie who will do anything to help you! real bro!

    Story- 8/10 NO SPOILER there are flaws within the story especially within Kiika's route and Yumeko's. Mostly plot holes that go against established rules, nothing super major but playing 30 runs of this vn (15 in eng 15 in jp) I can say itis noticeable. HOWEVER, I cannot stress enough how good of story this is

    Is it a Mai-Chan daily Life style story? No! This is an amazing psychological and body horror story. The disturbing events and circumstances all flow super well into the story so none of it feels like it was added just to be added. WITH EXCEPTIONS OF 2 TIMES FROM AKANE! (this bish dumbasf)

    Despite the title and the horror you'd never expect that there's a surprisingly wholesome, hard-earned feel-good story in here. Good mystery too.

    I'm generally a sucker for guro and other things that really push the boundary of animated or drawn ero so I was immediately dragged into this title. But despite the gore and depravity on display here; those things appeared to me far weaker and less interesting than the actual story in this VN and how it unravels itself over the course of multiple playthroughs.

    I went into this VN erect and ready to coom and yet by the second route I felt like some of the more gratuitous H-scenes were simply just getting in the way. I'd even say some of them were boring despite the fetish tags.

    It works better as a weekend afternoon mystery romp than how it actually looks like. It's a pretty good read.
