Unfortunately for Keisuke, Nemu discovers his demented tastes and uses his secret to blackmail him into doing whatever she wants of him. The fact is usually kept hidden from everyone around him within the recesses of his mind. The more depraved and dark something is, the more turned on he is because of it. This is because deep down, he is truly a sadist. Despite the terrifying scene in front of him, Keisuke becomes aroused at the sight of Class Rep’s torture.
Keisuke and the others are forced to witness Miyako die, and it is from there that the characters realize their fate: Keisuke must violate the girl of his choice or else they too will face the cruel hands of death. However… if one refuses to play the game or breaks the rules established, the result is elimination. Miyako, deeply disturbed by what this cruel game entails, gets into an angry panic and forfiets from participating. Suddenly, a robotic voice announces the start of a “game” that they are to partake in, or else they die. The seven of them are in this white facility with no idea as to how they got there. Not only is he there, but his childhood friend Hokari Kanae, classmates Manaka Nemu and Byakuya Rinne, his junior Makiba Rika, and English teacher Aoi Natsuki are there as well, not to mention the class rep, Andou Miyako. I was one hundred percent right.Įuphoria starts off with the protagonist, Takatou Keisuke, awakening in an unfamiliar white room. By expanding my knowledge of the game, its characters, and its world, so too would my love for it grow even more. Finally, I would be able to understand the finer details I missed playing Euphoria in its native language. The moment I was met with the English version’s menu, I felt overwhelming excitement and joy within me. It was my most memorable eroge experience, without a single doubt. I felt a concoction of emotions that I’d never felt with any other eroge I’d played before after I first completed Euphoria for the very first time. What initially felt like unrelated heroine stories only having loose relation to each other ended in a mind blowing conclusion that I can only call “breathtaking”. The mystery began to unravel with every route. Reeled in after being grabbed by the hook that is Euphoria’s storytelling, I found I was completing the heroine routes in quite a rapid succession. Much like Keisuke, questions swirled in my mind what led to Keisuke and the heroines to be in that white prison? Who brought them there? Why were they there?
There’s a feeling of mystery and tension right from the opening sentence. The first thing that caught my attention was the atmosphere Euphoria gave off. It most certainly was an intense ride, but it was so much more than that. The OVAs couldn’t begin to tell the story of the game. When I first ever played Euphoria in its original Japanese version, my first thought upon booting it up was, “this will be an intense ride, huh?” I had an idea of what to expect based on the OVAs that were released. Euphoria is an eroge very near and dear to my heart, and I’m very honored to share my thoughts and feelings about it. We have asked loyal customer and euphoria super-fan, Kitty-tama, to give us an in-depth review of our release: In the spotlight today for the 12 days of visual novels: euphoria. We have something a little different this time around.
