This game is great, I kept playing for hours. The choices really matter, and all the characters are interesting and complexes. Keep up the good work! I will definitely buy it with more updates.
This is so good! I love Nox and I can't wait for the next update. In the time being does anyone have any recommendations for anything similar, doesn't need to be from Itch io? There are so many VNs on here that claim to be some sort od really hardcore dark romance but end up being the most basic vanilla sht I've ever seen
Looool part of the reason I made the game is because I could only find vanilla stuff lmao! I hope it inspires some darker themes, I too would love to see more dark stuff ;)
i can only think of three other games that are similar and the rate of progress on them is .... concerning. forcefully yours has a free demo on here with a lot of content, but unfortunately the dev has been missing for a few years now. i played the demo for sterile desires when it was free and it was definitely dark (there's non-con), but the demo now costs $10 (i think it's a full chapter) and they haven't even updated it on itchio in a year and a half. i don't want to criticise anybody for how they choose to value their work, but personally, i wouldn't want to pay that much for an incomplete demo and no assurance that i'd ever even get a complete product. there's also "yours game" which also has non-con, but it's a short demo and also hasn't been updated for a while. all that to say, we're definitely being spoiled by soapinsoup xD
since you said you're looking for dark romance, i'm assuming you dont want a pure horrorporn murdersim like boyfriend to death. if, however. you're looking for a murdersim with yanderes, you can try the two games by mr fishess. courtin' cowboys is about $9 for the full game. you can see the warnings on the game page and decide if it's up your alley. if i recall correctly, two of the characters are yanderes. the other characters are either normal or just sadistic/psychos. there's a ton of content and many endings, so it's definitely worth the price imo. lovers trophy is $2 and has a lot less content, and i think only one of the two male leads is actually a yandere (the brunet guy). this game does have a demo if you wanna try it first.
if you want something EVEN DARKER to the point there's technically no romance and it's pure horror (but it's still starring a yandere), you can try wh4t 1 w0ulndt d0, which is free. there's also fall into prayer, which is super short but also more dark in overall theme.
Thanks so much for the comment<3 small support goes a long way <3 I won't be changing anything. I'm prepping the next chapter release ;)
Actually the full game is going to be free, always free , so it's not a demo<3 but I also wanted to give back to the donators with something extra special <3
So it includes bonus stories.
It won't affect the original story but the pov routes might close some gaps ;)
Short stories were small concept stories when I developed the main characters. Just some fluff and cute stuff, even interaction stories (exploring relationship dynamics between two of the characters)
I intend to add quite a few. <3 to make it worth the small pricetag.
Oh yes and no murdersim, more or less it's forced pleasure ;) the only deaths that may occur is between yanderes
thanks for making your game free! and dont worry, i know the short stories are worth the price, and that your game isn't a murdersim. i was just responding to the other commenter asking for game recommendations (and giving some of my opinions on these other games) ^^
author. no negativity, just a little criticism. read interviews with people after rape before taking such a job. also check out the games - binary star; forcefully yours; overtime (demo)
I put the tags there for that reason, also that this is fictional, I was also a victim myself at one point when a date put their hands on me a decade ago. It wasn't easy, but I had to deal with things in a my own way, I do not recommend it to a rape victim AT ALL, this game does not represent what happens in reality it's pure fiction.
The game is a mix of rape/dubious consent where it becomes a twisted love in some way. It's meant to cater to the act of forced love as a fetish, and not to represent the extreme act of rape as a whole. These guys would all be in jail if they were real people.
Real rape I do not condone, it's horrible, and wrong.
I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone who forced into those situations in real life. The approach is meant to be different in the sense, for those interested in yanderes, obsessive love.
thanks for the answer! I empathize with you. It’s terrible to go through this.
I was referring to MC actions in the hospital; no questions about the actions during the meeting of the white man (everything turned out stylishly and concisely).
The only crazy crackpot in the hospital is the MC, if they makes jokes and joyful after what happened. It is not necessary to put the players in a stupid position
It's a chapter undergoing modifications. It's not really meant too have jokes, Octavius is extremely petty. Abnormally so, I can focus on making him a bit darker if that's what everyone wants.
This is the second comment I got in one day about it the exact same thing. so this situation actually has me super frustrated that it's upsetting a bunch of people all at the same time. It's a bit difficult to deal with. I don't have a team of people to consult with since I'm just one person doing everything. So I'll need to reconsidure my position on the game.
Please, author, don't reconsider anything. Just listen what your instincts and inspiration are telling you. Art under external pressure is no longer art. It will sound trite, but create what your heart tells you, and don't break under pressure from people who have different views, especially if they can't distinguish fiction from real life. Games like yours should be our safe space, where artists can express themselves and we, the readers, cam indulge our fetishes, and not be lectured.
tldr; just wanted to pop in to say i agree with @/sweethurt. i wanted to add that by nature, this type of kinky/fetishy content is going to disturb people with certain traumas / who are more vanilla. that's fine, you're not catering to them. it's on them to not engage with media that upsets them.

there's nothing wrong with the way you've depicted anything -- this is a dark fantasy and it's by definition going to be unrealistic. of course the mc isn't going to behave like an irl victim. it wouldnt be fetish content if they did, it'd be horror.
fetish content is a safe way for people to indulge in the fantasies that they have. for many people, these fantasies are born from trauma -- hence why it's harmful to generalise by saying this content harms victims. no group of people is a monolith. although this content can be triggering to some victims, there are equally valid victims who actually consume it to help reclaim their power and to process their trauma. the reader has the choice to not read if they know it has the potential to harm them. as a writer, your only responsibility is to provide ample warning, which you do.
REAL ABUSERS harm victims, not fiction. just like real murderers harm people, not slasher horror movies. are you a psychopath if you enjoy slasher movies? no, of course not. it's interesting how people understand there's a difference between fantasy/fiction and reality in most things, but not when it comes to sexual fantasies.
fantasies are fantasy for a reason. the reader understands it isn't real, they understand it's just fiction and an unrealistic/fetishised depiction of events. they know they're safe, they consented by choosing to read (and they can stop at any time). they know it would be immoral for these things to happen irl (and they dont want to engage in these things irl), and that the victim wouldn't behave the way depicted.
if they don't understand these things, then that's not your fault. they have a personal responsibility of not consuming media that they arent capable of handling, especially when they read the trigger warnings and chose to ignore them apparently. you cant babysit people on the internet. just focus on making the content that you want to make, and that you know your target audience (the people who like darker content) actually like.
when you get criticism from anyone who isnt a part of your target audience, it's important to consider if it's actually valid criticism. it's like watching a horror movie, knowing its genre, and then rating it a 0/10 because you hate horror, lmao...
sorry for the rant, it's just that i personally enjoy this content, but there's so little of it, and it's extra discouraging when authors constantly get these comments from people virtue-signaling after CHOOSING to ignore the warnings. btw, you rarely see these people virtue-signaling under dark content made for straight men, which makes me wonder if some misogyny is at play here (people being less accepting of women being sexual and being into taboo things).
with that being said, i wanted to say that your vn is honestly one of my favourite yandere vns i've ever read (and i think i've read all of them lol). this sort of content is sorely needed. it's well written, and impressively varied in how many niches it fills. it seems you're just one person, and the amount of effort and work you've put into this is genuinely amazing. you've done double the work that most devs do in years. well done. i really mean it. you're doing great, and evidently a lot of people are very happy with your work too. so don't be discouraged! keep up the good work.
No negativity, but read about fetishes. Some women actually like such scenarios in their bedroom or in their fantasies... And the "yandere" genre exists for a reason ;)
whenever I want your very important personal opinion, I will personally address you with a letter and bow. this case, I contacted the developer. but next time I will ask Your permission. Maybe You should read what the “choice game” is before being like a plug in the ass
also a rape victim, in fact i have a 6 year old and none of the 3 men were identified. everyone reacts to situations differently. they gave warnings so if people don't heed them then what else can they do? i choose to not let one night define who i am and tend to enjoy people who aren't afraid to write things that others would find offensive. thats what diversity of thought is and visual novels are nothing but other peoples stories in a game mode. they can write it however they want and id actually like the game less if they went walked on eggshells thinking it would be offensive. personally if you think its too much then just go find something else. and dont speak for all victims
(edit to say that 6 year old was conceived by one of those 3 men)

You should try Theory of Fear, it's very similar in terms of intensity and yandere characters, it also has a lot of hot scenes.
