She constantly frustrates Keisuke and aggravates his condition further towards hostility.Īoi Natsuki – A teacher who taught at Keisuke’s school prior to being put into the “game”. Her character revolves around playing mind games with Keisuke to turn him into a “beast”. Manaka Nemu – A sweet girl who doesn’t try to enable any of Keisuke’s sexual tendencies in any way (she does the opposite). He must choose picking from other keyholes while combating his natural tendency to “go too far” with his sadism. Takato Keisuke – The main character that is the unlocker of this game. A twist that has been done better in many games before it and after it. Because of the lack of fantastic payoff (which is consistent for most of the games routes), Euphoria constantly stays in a state of limbo story-wise because it relies heavily on a twist introduced towards the end to justify all the other routes and buildup the player had to endure. Euphoria creates huge expectations from the h-scenes and character development for a good payoff in its routes. Which would be fine if the game wasn’t as ambitious as it tries to be. Sex-Character Development-Sex-Character Development. The game has a structure in the “common route”. There is a change of scenery once you lock onto a girls route, but the game is mostly going to take place in that white room. However I will give the reader a warning that Euphoria mostly takes place in the “death game” setting. I will refrain from talking about what in specific makes these routes different from what I initially described the story as (at least until I go in depth on the route quality). The story of Euphoria generally is a mixed bag. In my personal opinion Euphoria has the tools for a very engrossing story and it does reach a certain level of its potential in its later routes, but for the most part it was a disappointing experience that was still quite decent. This is because I see the appeal to Euphoria and what it brings to the medium. I have praised this game a lot in the early portion of this review. Is Euphoria’s story good enough for me to read through all the h-scenes despite me reading visual novels for the narrative?Īnd the answer I will give may surprise you. One of the biggest questions coming out of this review for the reader will be this: However it explores his condition from multiple perspectives that enable his sexual tendencies. The answer is never given to the player whether or not what Keisuke is doing is right. The taboo of fetishes along with enjoying things that are perceived as “evil”. This clashes with the other side of Keisuke’s heart that tells him that what he is doing is wrong and taking advantage of the people sacrificing their bodies isn’t something to get sexual gratification from. Inside of Keisuke’s heart hides a demon, a person who enjoy administering this sexual torture onto others joyfully.
Because of the rules given by a mysterious voice that is providing this “test” for Keisuke to “rape” his friends, he must choose to “assault” (in various ways) one of them (or more if you wanna make it hard to get to one route) in order to survive. Various people from his school make up this group, five students and one teacher. Takato Keisuke (a male) is stuck with six other women in a white room. Because of this, Euphoria feels less like a nukige (despite very much fitting the bill) and more like a visual novel that can stand on its own while also adding to the player’s collection of fetishes. Despite this familiar setting (room with a voice that gives instructions), Euphoria differentiates itself completely from the typical game of its genre by exploring more of the taboo aspects of sex rather than the actual sex itself. The setting of Euphoria may seem like any other “survival game” from the outside, and in many ways outside of the sexual aspects to it, it very much is. It’s essentially SAW with a focus on the “porn” part of “gore porn”. Combine this with fetish fuel h-scenes (including scat) and some good character writing from time to time, it’s no wonder Euphoria has gained a following. The problem is that the protagonists keyhole is his penis and the unlocker is a woman’s hole. To insert his keyhole inside the unlocker or die. A white room in which the player has a choice. I will provide a general outline of the game while also providing my thoughts on it as a visual novel (production value, story, characters, etc.).Įuphoria takes place in a white room.
Minimal spoilers in this review, but I will avoid anything that reveals a crucial plot element or twist in this game. The version of the game I will be reviewing is the HD edition available on MangaGamer that was localized in 2015.
