Bottom line is, Youya is a good boy who deserved better. Some CG’s will remain burnt into my memory no matter how much I don’t want them, no thanks to Tomoaki. ![]() I would had rather the game left him completely alone then and shunned him of our attention and Maeda Tomoaki’s actions, because the innocence and sweetness of Youya is completely tarnished and corrupted by the worst player character I have ever had the misfortune to play as. His awkward social skills are exemplified by him talking in the third person, and he is often alone in his own company. Of course that’s the point, as he’s the masochistic character, but I still want to protect him at all costs!Īs an absolute sweetheart who suffers from low self esteem and social anxiety, Youya finds solace in taking care of the mansion’s garden and nature surrounding it. For a product so unforgiving shameless in its un-consensual, sadistic, and over-the-top kinkiness, Ichinose Youya is too much of a sweetie for this game. ![]() Extremely notorious to visual novel players for its hardcore BL material consisting of excruciatingly uncomfortable explicit scenes most often played up for humor, Naked Butler left a bad taste in my mouth ever since I played it which I have yet to overcome. To this day, I cannot believe Hadaka Shitsuji (Naked Butler) was fully translated by MangaGamer and even published uncensored on Steam. This nicely (or not so nicely, in this case) leads into my next choice. Such a simple act isn’t only none existent in many other routes of the game, but is also a prolific problem in many BL games specifically. Before Motomi and Akira do the deed together, Motomi explicitly asks Akira if he wants the same thing. This is also the only reason I prefer Motomi as the older type will always be the better option over the shota trope in my books, despite both being just as brilliant of routes. This is also the case with Rin, the trap character who I also feel must be lying about his age because he looks uncomfortably young to me. He’s at the top as he exceeds every other LI in the game due to being only one out of two LI’s to acknowledge the importance of consent between the pair. After playing through every other route that were even more engaging as the plot thickened through each LI encounter, what I realized by the end of this journey was that Motomi was the best suitor for our protagonist, Akira. This would set up my play through of Togainu no Chi with an easy first choice my eyes were set on the mature, smoking (hot) Motomi. Sweet Fuse’s Ayumu Shirabe was my favourite otome LI back in 2015). ![]() When I experienced Togainu no Chi, it was when my short lived preference in older men in visual novels was apparent (eg. When it comes to its characters, each are so interesting and well explored, but none are as worthy of our attention as much as Clear is, in my humble opinion of course. In Aoba’s initial meeting of him, Clear appears childish, eccentric and misplaced in its world, the first indication of how much of a cinnamon bun he is! What develops from there is up to you, as many sides of Clear will be discovered in its many endings, and much like every other LI in DRAMATICAL MURDER, this is just one reason why this game of nitroplus’ is considering the best. He has a lot to hide underneath that cool design of his for players to discover on his route. ![]() My personal pick for these reasons is Clear, who is the product of most of my tears shed playing this game during his route alone. With such notable high points with, admittedly, a few missteps (Mink was a mistake is my slogan and I deny the existence of both Trip and Virus on a daily basis), most of its cast are unforgettably brilliant, equipped with incredibly engaging character arcs that can lead to depressingly despair filled bad ends, creating a set of characters players truly care about and feel aligned to. With extremely appealing and colorful artwork in its setting and characters that translates to its consistently charismatic and memorable cast, DRAMATICAL MURDER is nitroplus’ most prolific title, spawning many spin-offs and an anime. DRAMATICAL MURDER is monumental in the BL genre of video games.
