Yo /jp/ what are some really good bitter/dark VN's? I have been searching but there has been nothing that has topped 装甲悪鬼村正 (Soukou Akki Muramasa)

>> No.7222611

Extravaganza has a nice amount of despair, but I don't think it matches the sheer volume of crap Muramasa (both the game, and the character thanks to her curse) puts you through.

I suppose that's why the ending where Kageaki goes "Fuck this" and does whatever he wants was universally well-liked.

Demonbane is getting released the same day as Duke Nukem For-never.

Guys by bitter/dark I meant depressing in a non-key sort of way. Pretty much from the get go of Muramasa everything is already pretty shit and the main character is even an anti hero (he constantly renounces himself as a hero). Also a lot of characters die even some of the main ones, sometimes off screen. Thats the kinda stuff I'm looking for

>> No.7222636

>>7222622
>he constantly renounces himself as a hero

Then he ignores it and ultimately goes off to do heroic crap anyway. Then zenakusousatsu kicks in and woe is Kageaki.

They have to release it one of these days, if nothing comes of the Nitro+ and JastUSA marriage the industry will die outside of Japan.

Sumaga and Muramasa will be released afterwards with no mind numbingly retarded delays and all of them will sell well expanding the industry in which games that get licensed are actually released. This is the future I believe

Thanks. I will continue searching, anymore recommendations are appreciated. There has to be a more bitter/dark VN out there.

>> No.7223828

Let's see, have heard they are some of pretty depressing stuff, but havent played them yet myself:
Rasen Kairou 1&2 and anonymous, they are all from same writer I think and are said to be damn depressing.
Mugen Kairou 1&2 are so too I think.

for bit less depressing titles but still atpoints depressing:
Ikusa Megami Zero can be quite downer at times (if game would have ended at the end of ch5 it could been pretty good utsuge), also Baldr Sky only if you go with only bad ends in it can be quite depressing.

>> No.7223950

Coμ isn't really dark but it shares some of the same themes with Muramasa, you'll like it if you like morally ambiguous situations and characters. Especially in the last route.

Nijuuei is pretty much one of the most violent eroge out there, think Shigurui in eroge form

Sayonara wo Oshiete is probably the most fucked up eroge.

I also thought that Lost Colors was a pretty good utsuge, not ero though, but this one is pretty obscure.

Then there are the usual Kusarihime, Yukiuta (writer did the awesome Grisaia no Kaijutsu recently but this one isn't that much of an utsuge, Angelic Howl was pretty fucked up though), Phantom of Inferno, Swan Song

>> No.7224172

Wow I thought only extravaganza and gore screaming show were the supposedly only depressing black cyc titles. I had no idea that Ikusa Megami was a utsuge, I will check it out.

>>7223950
I could find most of the games you listed on vndb except for angelic howl, is it rare?

>> No.7224195

>>7224172
Angelic Howl is just the name of a pretty fucked-up event in Grisaia, I guess I wasn't clear enough.

Oh and if you are looking for something that could top Muramasa you should stop, seriously.
It doesn't exist.

>> No.7224209

>>7224195

Damn. I knew that Muramasa was good but I didn't know it was the best. That writer did hanachirasu as well I think. What was his name again? Because he needs to write more, he is like Urobuchi 2x

Fun fact: He also voiced Shishiku.

>> No.7224295

I know this is going to be taken as trolling no matter what I say, but give Subarashiki Hibi a spin if you feel like it. I'm not suggesting it because of the DEEPness (in fact feel free to ignore those parts without thinking too much about it if they're not your thing), but because the bullying and everything that surrounds Takuji is pretty dark and depressing, if that's what you're looking for.

Thank you for the name I have been looking for it. Did he do anything else besides muramasa and hanachirasu? And I was going to play Suburashiki this summer as more as a mindfuck/philosophy thing which im also into.

May I ask one more thing. Why is Sayonara wo the most fucked up VN? I try finding info on it but there is only a little and the people who do talk about it say it is quite disturbing.

>> No.7225485

>>7225437
It's a trip in the psyche of what is probably the most fucked up protagonist ever.
A very big part of the game is focused on his imagination, his phantasms and fear.
There is also the prominence of the red color in the art, since the entire game is spent in the sunset period, that give a really uneasy feeling.
It's something you have to see for yourself.

>> No.7225585

Looking for the most bitter VN and find supposedly one of the most disturbing, this should be interesting. Anyway thanks everyone for the recommendations. I have only lurked on Ixrec's site for visual novel info but they mostly talk about the WAB series which im not too much a fan of. I haven't posted on here before but you guys seem like a great source of information, again I appreciate the recommendations and will check them out (cept for semen inferno).
