Sailor Moons Goes To Hell

I started playing this game expecting a grittier, darker, more sexual Sailor Moon experience which suited me fine as I'm no longer a young teenager and wanted a chance to revisit that experience as an adult. However, they scaled up the darker more sexual element to ridiculous proportions here. I disagree with one of the earlier reviewer that claimed this game isn't meant to be sexually gratifying. I believe it actually is, just not for regular mainstream guys like us. The sexual elements of this game are extremely pronounced (I didn't use a timer, but I think it is over 50% of the game) and go into extreme gory details (both the physical and psychological). There are two main endings and depending on which one you pick, either all the guys or all the guys except for one are complete scumbags and pretty much all the women get sexually abused (in the case of the protagonists, repeatedly, they really want to rape your mind with that stuff). In the 'bad' path, one of the characters I was fond of miraculously escapes this threatment, but not to worry, she gets it real good in the 'good' path. If you're into far out domination stuff (the kind that crosses consent boundaries), you will probably dig this. If you're into more of a flagellacious psychological abuse kind of experience (because you feel you deserve to be punished and you like it), you might also dig this, because the main character's sense of well being and self worth will be disintegrated through repeated abuse (especially in the 'bad' path) and you'll be right alongside her for the ride. For everyone else, it is really hard to recommend this. Yes, the music is great, the art is gorgeous(ly horrible sometimes, but rendered very well) and many of the moments (mostly between the women) are touching as you do get invested in some of the characters. Some of the sci-fi is also interesting. Ultimately though, all those nice things can be found elsewhere, but without all this gratuitous abuse on your psyche.

you WILL need a therapist after this.

this game absolutely BROKE ME. thought i was in for funny hentai madoka magica, ended up psychologically scarred, having played the only eroge to make me cry not once but TWICE. i'd call it a must-play-- if you can stomach reading the magical girl equivalent of emergence, that is. If you're a fan of absolutely soul-crushing shit happening to cute girls, play this. despite the abundant scenes of sexual violence, downright ryona/guro, and the occasional scat moment, it's a really thought-provoking narrative with characters you can immediately connect to, even if they end up pissing you off. just don't make the same mistake i did and get too attached to them. admitting to my crimes for a second, i actually pirated this game initially, but after being locked out of an ending by an error, i opted to actually spend my money on this, something I NEVER do for games like this usually. i think that's a testament to just how good this game is. if you're looking for similar recommendations (soul-crushing shit featuring an unhealthy amount of tentacle rape), go play maggot baits.

Soulcrushing masterpiece

I could say this visual novel took me out of my comfort zone. And it would be true but it would also mean absolutely nothing. So I'll put it this way... It took my face and bashed it agaist the wall, repeatedly, until there were multiple holes in it. Then it made me watch how little ducklings are murdered, cut my genitals off and threw me into a pool of excrement. It was absolutely horrible in more ways than I can describe. I did not like it. I did not enjoy it. Getting thru some parts was so hard and just when I thought that the worst is behind me, the game proved me wrong (all the time). But somehow, I needed that experience. And it was brilliant. MILD SPOILERS It strongly focuses on themes of human trafficking, the darkest side of capitalism, rape and dehumanisation. It's not something for the feint of heart. You have been warned.

It is the worst!

spoilers included: I want you to understand that I like games with adult themes. I just finished The Dead End and liked it pretty well. With that context, here's why this game is crap: I thought this was going to be a magical girl manager with rpg elements, due to the misleading video. it's just a linear VN. Normally a story has upbeats and downbeats, which proceed at a thematically appropriate pace. This just goes for max shock value; Fallout 4 power armour anyone? This game's designers opted to try to excuse a bunch of very stupid world building decisions which are so bad they wrote into station commanders dialogue an attempt to hand wave away some of these failures. The first horrible story beat is when the girls who are recruited to be military warriors are drugged and then launched into space, in cheap space suits, plummeting towards the enemy world to be raped and or killed upon arrival. This is where the first very stupid story point is put forward and the writers of the game claim it HAS to be this way. They HAVE to lose 3/4 of their recruits by doing this; there is NO other way. Anyone with even basic knowledge of scientific process knows that you isolate your experiments, especially hostile or dangerous ones. The girls could've been implanted by the aliens in a controlled environment in the station and still had the same horror factor, without the MASSIVE losses they take each time they gain recruits. The male characters are also written to be the worst, with one in particular being racist, hateful, stupid and just outright cruel. A character should not be a vile piece of crap just because you want them to be... 'real' characters have good reasons for what they do and who they have become! None of this was needed to make the premise work. Spacebar is NOT the default advance text key and no rebindable keys screen! The good points are: Art and voice/sound are quite nice. Sex scenes are very descriptive.

Unavoidable Technical Problems

While I would like to give out a review about the content of the game, I'm sorry to say that it's not useful anymore, as the game seems to come with unsolvable problems (at least on my system). I played the game quite a few years ago and it worked well, but I just reinstalled it and the game launches in a small resolution that I'm unable to override AND the font doesn't adapt to said resolution, making it bleed out of the screen and beeing cut off by the line height limit. I don't know if they made an update or it comes from an incompatibility between the engine and the new windows systems, but it is currently not playable on my side. I attempted to contact support about it, but was unable to obtain a response. So be careful before buying, you might not be able to play anyway.
