    Before addressing Ishu Aigan, let's open with a simple statement: The bestiality tag can be smart or dumb. The smart variation means discomfort, and a measure of belief. The dumb type ends up being unwilling comedy, and easily dismissable. This VN is, for the most part, the smart type, and provides you with different notions to justify what's happening, such as: Abnormal people, innate perversion, self-indulgence, deviant curiosity, degeneracy (as in moral decay), and more. Basically, the idea is that the events of the VN are wrong, anomalous, unthinkable outside extreme circumstances, and that simple rationalization, is lending credit to an otherwise grotesque scenario.

    Positive:
    - It's an incredibly rare VN (available in English, no less), and that alone boosts its value; H-scenes have detail, feel inventive, make clear the heroine's personalities; The writing makes an effort to portray things logically (It doesn't feel stupid, but the situations grow progressively more absurd. Shock value is still a thing, as you might expect).

    Negative:
    - It's a limited title, the only value comes from H-scenes, and novelty when you consider the subject matter. At some point the storytelling stops, and it's "back-to-back" H-scenes time; This title is a way to satisfy your curiosity, and not much of any turn-on, the VN itself understands that what they are trying to sell is "peculiarity", in 18+ format.

    Score: 7/10. It's a good VN (with many conditions), and a recommendation for people who enjoy rarity and (pronounced) difference factor. Your first reaction will be one of rejection, but all you need to understand is that reading this, only means as much as you allow it. It's fiction and humans are insatiably curious, you can still enjoy the next "pure love romance", like always.

    (Regarding H-scenes, originality, national geographic trivia, and coherence with the established premise/setting rules, are the main strengths. Fulfilling their natural purpose only seems possible to very specific individuals, but i'm rating them as pretty good, and there's a lot of them.)

    this game is good but most people don't like it for reasons of phobia and disgust at the sight of something like slugs or caterpillars. one of the attractions of this game is what will happen to the heroines who have sex with these disgusting animals. this is not suitable to be enjoyed as a game, but this is more suitable to be enjoyed as just VN

    I tried Ishu Aigan some time ago.. well, I shouldn't have. Anyways here's my review.

    So, do you like frogs, slugs and reptiles? Have you ever thought about them fucking you? If so, then you're in luck as this game will show just that. The art in this game is decent enough, but you'll have to read a ton of text to get to it.

    Iirc the story is as you would expect from H games - not great. But at least it is alright in this game.

    Now, this game is IIRC a VN in every sense of the word. No real choices, you the player is basically there to simply view the scenes and click next when you read the text. It would have been better suited for an Anime.

    Take my review with a grain of salt as it is some time ago that I played it. Honestly, I didn't find it interesting at all, and deleted it shortly after.

    I have been waiting for this game to be translated forever. Cyclet is an amazing studio and I hope more people decide to translate their games. The art is fantastic. The story is great. However, it is a niche fetish and I can see why it may turn some people off. So give it a shot or not, it's your choice.
