Kusari: You and your friends are having a vacation on a luxury prototype cruise ship thanks to your connections when you get an SOS. SOS is from a fellow who was stranded at sea. Turns out picking up him wasn't such a good idea.
Pretty awesome, relatively underrated Leaf title - plenty of action, lots of decision making (heaps of choices, many of which can result in your death, and not necessarily immediately)

Sayonara wo Oshiete is hard to describe without spoiling, but it's pretty incredible. You're an assistant teacher living a tedious life; each afternoon you wander the school corridors and each night you have a terrifying dream. This is sort of a 'just play it' thing - the story can't be explained without ruining it. It contains a bit of guro, rape etc. though.

How about a "Short games" category?

I'm sure there's a number of other such games.

My two cents:

I don't consider Prima Stella nukige.
I mean there's only 1 hscene per chapter and that takes at least at least a few hours of reading to get to it. It should be moved to moe.

Triangle Blue isn't "dark". Half of the game's route are light romance. The other NTR half have good ends.

Rasen Kairou should be on horror/suspense. So is Anonymous.

Custom Slave F is repetitive shit, it's shit compared to the other games on the list. Kanotsuku is better.

Add Ouzoku & Daibanchou to gameplay.

I haven't played Kara no Shoujo, but it's about gruesome murders and weird paintings and mystery. You play a detective, there's evidence gathering sections and shit.

Anonymous is heavily inspired by Rasen Kairou, it has many similar themes and aspects. It basically starts off as a normal generic eroge, guy in small town meets some new girls, they have fun and all around great time together and slight romantic tension with one of them before they have to go back to the city. Some time later, he and his family move to the city because his little sister has become shut-in and it's closer to where they can get help for her. He's excited about meeting his friends again, only it's not a happy reunion at all.

Fuck ayyo. I haven't had the slightest respect for his reviews after reading the GSS review (I'd already played GSS at that point). It's kind of like the erogereview.com guy, in that both of them fill their reviews with absolutely surreal amounts of exaggeration, to the point that it's no longer anywhere near an accurate description of what the game actually contains.

In case you're curious, his GSS review is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060813151046/http://www.makenaidesuwayo.com/2006/07/27/gore-screaming-s
how-end/
Regarding GSS violence: "[...] using this same Gore Meter, Gore Screaming Show can easily rate as a 8935 on it. We’re talking unspeakable and unmentionable stuff here, if the most blood you seen is a paper cut, then this stuff will blow you and your lunch away." <- WTF? The amount of gore in GSS was extremely weak for a game with such a title and premise.

That said though, Extravaganza still is probably a pretty good game, judging from comments I've gotten from other (much more reliable) eroge players. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but it's definitely on my to-play list.

After playing Aster I was left wondering if we had actually played the same game, after quotes like:
"Hina is a tsundere and beats the poor ever loving shit out of Kyouji almost everyday."
"Shit seriously hits the fan when Saya and Hiro lose their virginity to each other and Saki emotionally crashes when she learns of it. No... she doesn't go Yandare and kill anyone... but she's a complete and total wreck."
