A Visual Novel that's already the longest known to man and only about %33-%40 complete that fits into the "existential horror" genre and is a subversion of the game you were likely expecting when you clicked "download". It's a game with porn, not a porn game (if that distinction makes sense to you, the porn isn't the point). It will judge you for considering it a porn game. Repeatedly.
Let me guess, whatever the fuck this is is in the game and is unavoidable and I will hate myself for reaching the point of seeing whatever THIS is?

You ask yourself what kind of game this could be. But as people gather to answer you, you get distracted by a passing bird. Possibly a heron. Your mind goes somewhere else. You follow it. You end up in front of a well. You look down. But when your eyes make contact with the bottom, you realize that it is you that you are looking down upon. When you blink, you are back at home. It's time to play the game that will be either one of the worst or best experiences of your life.

This isn't in the game yet.
The image is meant to be a joke and satirized summary of how nuts this game can become.
If you are looking for a quick wank, this isn't for you, but if you're looking for something much deeper that will change your life, then you must play the game. I guarantee you will never find anything like lessons in love, it's not for everyone, but if you do like it, you WILL get addicted worse than crack.
Longest visual novel... so that will probably take me several weeks to play, or... months?
Existential horror, has horror tag... I don't like horror but generally things that aren't considered jumpscare but more unsettling rather than sudden I can easily handle... which side does this belong tho?
Not sure what you mean by a sub version there. Guessing you explain that in the next sentence.
Hmm... Sort of like, pretty much any game with porn out there like uhhhh GTA? But I mean, judging you for considering it a porn game? How bad can it be... (gonna regret asking, aren't I?)

Awww shit. I think I just scared off a new player player with my ill timed post 
Understandable. If I like the art style I will play it regardless if it has good porn or not. I'm generally here for the story event. If I weren't, I would just visit PH or some image site or just play an action game or something

You will definitely regret playing this game, everybody does.
The only difference is whether you will regret it because you hate it, or regret it because you got addicted to it.
Just play the damn game and remember that WIRES is your best friend.
Nah, I'm expecting an explanation here. You don't send random memes to new players expecting them to understand after hearing how fucked up the game could beAwww shit. I think I just scared off a new player player with my ill timed post

That image is a VERY generic example of what the game comes up with every now and then. Kinda like if someone's body exploded in the modern fallout games. A moment that happens all the time and really means nothing at the end of the day.
Are there any actual subjects you refuse to deal with in stories?

I don't think there is a huge point in explaining you the game in detail.
The sheer amount of posts in this thread, the number of reviews and the quick replies probably already show you that this is a very popular title.
Coincidentally we were just talking about how "fucked up" we all consider this game to be and why we like it a few pages back. You can check out my take on it here if you want.
At the end of the day you only really need to know two things:
- This game is not for everybody. Its main themes include various traumatic experiences, such as depression, death, pedophilia, grooming, bullying, etc. and may cause triggers to people sensitive to such topics or who are in a susceptible mental state themselves right now.
- This game is very well written and long as fuck. Like, actually well written, not in the "for a porn game" sense like you'd read on a lot of reviews for other games on here. Dev cooks in that regard.
For the rest, I'd say just play it and get your own impression and don't spoil yourself too much, I guess. Just don't necessarily play this game with the goal to get off. Treat it like a book that you want to read bit by bit and be patient with it. It's worth it.
My two main concerns are this: Is there jump scares, and a lot of them all things considered?
And: What type of cheating is there? Mc being cheated on and girl being hurt, mc being cheated on and the girl isn't hurt, or the mc is the one doing the cheating?
The only thing I don't do well with is lots of unpredictable jump scares and the girl being hurt in cheating scenarios. I've had a certain braveheart academy do that but it was obviously avoidable. I learned my lesson after that.
Okay so, I've watched people play DDLC before, that was obviously not what people expected. Any similarities there?
Then there is Scorn which is... very fucked up, but I barely reacted to anything I saw, like, at all. Iron stomach? Perhaps.
It's the jump scares that get me.
I've been around, seen things.
Honestly, I think if existential horror is more in the text format, I should be completely fine. The implication that this is a long game is great for me, but I question if it's worth it if my initial two questions don't yield favorable responses.
Oh shit, one more thing! Do beloved characters suddenly die unexpectedly???

As quoted from my comment above.
Those are things I don't handle well, but I am otherwise pretty resilient

There are quiet a bit of jumpscares and you're going to have to play the game to answer the rest. Any further answers would be spoiling the game.

Now I'll actually be helpful instead of falling into my guilty pleasure of random obscure quotes.
1. There are no actual jumpscares (in the sense of something suddenly screaming at you and jumping at your face). There are some flashing images, but most of the time you have a warning for them, and since the focus of the game is its narrative in text form, you know it's coming 99% of the time.
2. There is cheating in many shape and forms, but none that hurt the mc. The mc enjoys the thought of girls he's seeing to be seeing other girls at the same time - not that it happens a lot mind you, but it does happen (sometimes in a forced way) - although all of them that get into a relationship with the mc have him as their number 1. There is no other man involved in cheating either, the only exception is within mc's past and during very psychodelic hallucinations, that might even be about the mc himself fucking the girls and he's just seeing himself as another person.
That being said, girls do get hurt in the course of the game. There are various degrees of sexual assault/blackmail/possession and so forth. Again, not by any dude, mostly because of supernatural events, and a few times due to other girls.
Finally, there is an ongoing theme of "maybe none of this is happening" from the start, that makes it difficult to ascertain to which degree someone can even get hurt, or how much of anything is real. So take that as you will. I'll say that at the very least none of these scenes have been there just for shock value nor a fetish. They all serve a logical purpose within their own arcs.
Edit: 3. Death is very debatable in this game for reasons that you'll naturally pick up during the story. You won't have to worry about anyone leaving you for good.
