let’s play gore screaming show, part 10: the man-eating demon

kyoji assumes aoi must be done already, but she hasn't filled in any answers at all

so then he shows her what she needs to do to solve them. he even solves one for her, no burger required.......misandry is real u_u

"classes are back to normal" but the boys’ gym teacher's still at the meeting so all the dudes are stuck inside lol. kyoji looks out the window at the girls’ gym class, and sees someone running

and we get another choice ALREADY? im guessing this choice decides which girl he notices. Schrödinger's runner

so he checks out aoi, and shinta starts going "do you LIIIIKE her" again

😳 there's someone else i like, shinta... someone who's always got my back... someone i love talking to, even if we keep being interrupted... someone who bought me a light-up digimon

also no gym clothes cg. for shame

so yeah, measures are being taken because of the disappearances. maybe if we walk home in groups we won't run into the plot

also shinta's a soccer guy

wh-what do the boys think though 😳

anyway we’re heading back home with akane

it's awkward at first but they soon find a common interest: talking shit

and now aoi's walking home with us too! everything is fine

OH FUCK OH GOD

thank fuck it’s just yamiko...right, she wanted us to help her with an article for her occult mag

if we all run in different directions we can't ALL get eaten so anyway, about that article...

........this is the first we're hearing of any ruins kyoji says he can't leave akane and aoi alone because of the disappearances so he can't help yamiko today, but yamiko points out kyoji could be in just as much danger himself

......y-yeah... gobbled up........

so obviously the solution is for all four of them to go to the ruins, and akane and aoi are invited along

oh it's the creepy trail kyoji got warped to at the start of the game

it's just some creepy ruins, what's the worst that could happen

FGHJKJHGFD WELL WE WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY MAN-EATING DEMONS

text dump incoming:

cursed altar in a haunted cave, gotcha

oh, i think there was something in the OP that looked like that

okay not really a mountain but still

come on, akane, context cues

so the crazy guy died after, but not before saying something about a passage to another world. ppl started saying the altar was devoted to a man-eating demon, but nobody who tried to kill it came back alive, and their bodies kept being found half-eaten

...then a monk showed up and sealed the demon and everything was fine

anyway, back to the hike. we end up at the entrance to a shrine, but kyoji and akane don't seem very happy about it because something something Three Years Ago

apparently! but we won’t know until akane’s route

apparently the hokora (mini-shrine thing) is connected to the story but yamiko doesn't say how. anyway she heads off somewhere on her own, leaving kyoji n’ friends to uhhh look around for weird shit i guess

the story she told us took place on a rainy day...im sure it's just a coincidence....... but just then, aoi notices something made of bricks in the woods. there's a ton of plant shit in between them and it though, so it looks like a pain in the ass to get to. kyoji wants to ignore it and move on, but aoi just charges right in

...aaand akane makes her come back. so kyoji just goes himself, but it turns out there was a trail to it anyway. lol

it looks like...a well? maybe you do edgy fangame sacrifices to arceus on it there's a line down the middle so maybe it can be opened. or maybe it's THE evil altar

sure enough, kyoji manages to open it a bit. but just as akane is about to peek inside...

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 9: saito from class 3

anyway, it's another totally normal morning at kyoji's--

......aaand here's our pantsless cousin

(this was before the days of pro-rice propaganda, you see)

hey look, it's our old pal The Red One she's got some kind of handouts from school and needs yamiko's, our guardian's, signature. weird that a legal adult like kyoji would need that, huh? does he even need a guardian? how peculiar!

yamiko to the rescue, as always...oh shit, right, she was wanting to meet akane

HIMEKO ONEE-CHAN... kyoji tries to warn akane that yamiko hates that name but she does not listen and keeps saying it. repeatedly.

doesn't catch on quick, does she

so yeah she FINALLY gets the name right, eventually, and explains why she's here. yamiko assumed akane was here to wake kyoji up

but not anymore... not since...that day...

then they start going on about embarrassing shit kyoji did as a kid, like "god remember when he was still half-asleep and called you mom" "omggg i do, that was cringe af lolol"

at least akane's acting more like her old self again

anyway, back to school

...oh, this might be the same street office lady was going down kyoji gets the sense there's more people around than usual, but it's probably nothing. not like there's a CRIME SCENE nearby or anything

he complains about them talking about his childhood, because "it wasn’t all good memories" (briefly shows a zoomed in, greyscale, grainy version of the [REDACTED] cg)

not exactly something he can just ask her

anyway now she’s mad about him complaining and she’s all “FINE maybe i’ll just NEVER come over EVER AGAIN”

Don't Be An Asshole is always a great choice. shockingly this gets us a point with akane

i've yet to see any green hearts from our choices but maybe we'll unlock that later (this IS one of those games where certain routes aren't available on your first run) shinta's all "omg you came to school with kazuyagi, is she your giiirlfriiiiend"

and then this happens.

😳

so then the srs bsns bgm starts playing and we find out there's no homeroom today and there's a staff meeting during first period. i wonder why that could be.......

SAITO? 

FROM CLASS 3???

so saito from class 3's older sister has gone missing. presumably the office lady. i swear, this family has the worst luck

oh yeah, he got interrupted again yesterday by anime girl three stooges. it sure is taking a long time for him to finish this story. it reminds me of whenever i try to tell dad some funny anecdote but it takes 10 minutes because he keeps interrupting/changing the subject "so i was hanging out with the cat the other day--" who the fuck thinks that's a full story? my dad, that's who

that's either clown boy or the gun ossan from the OP, the latter of whom we WILL fuck so we talk about it a bit and shinta's finally about to continue where he left off. apparently there was something particularly strange about how the elementary schooler disappeared?

GOD DAMMIT

......oh, they gave mai different bread. i'd say that's a nice detail but mostly i wish these three would fuck off

so a "deputy teacher" comes in and yells at us for not doing study hall. we are NEVER gonna hear the rest of shinta's story, are we

(update from The Future: almost done w/ kiika’s route and no, we are not)

shinta route 😳

findom route 😳

shinta's like No Fucking Thanks and gets back to work. kyoji is bored, bringing us to our next choice:

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 8: the plot is slowly coming this way!

this gains us a relationship point with...kiika. Gee I Wonder Who's Inside

“easy movement with LOVE”

... hey, there's a guitar in here. he tries playing/tuning it, which leads to him missing a knock on the door

apparently this used to be the astronomy club so there's a bunch of stuff from that here, but it's also being used as a general storeroom, hence the guitar. kiika says she comes here often to relax

well, we know akane and aoi have fucked up pasts, sooo... he asks if he can hang out sometimes too and kiika's fine with it. we're going for aoi route but we can still be friends with kiika. maybe. 

anyway let's go home

you're telling me

😳

kyoji, unlike us, is unfazed and says he's busy

he is not busy. she wants his help covering a story tomorrow...for an occult mag? hmmm

especially if they try to coax you into comically tiny cars she brings up the disappearances, but kyoji thinks he'll probably fine since it's been only girls so far. then yamiko asks if she can record his guitar-playing sometime and he’s all “d-does she sense my hidden talent...?!”

she's making a cringe compilation

...well, close enough

aaand suddenly the game's format changes and we're hanging with a random office lady, who will surely get home safely and unclowned. her name is yaeko and she’s a quiet, awkward lady who always cleans the office in hopes her coworkers will like her...

but they just take advantage of her instead. also is it me or is it looking more and more red around here

and then the department chief flashes her

(hiromi is another asshole coworker idk) hey look a totally normal path where nothing bad has happened before. now yaeko is trying to focus on how pissed off she is to distract from how it's creepily, unnaturally quiet around her

sfx: (gasp, cronch/splat/meat)

.............a-anyway....... we've got "flesh rod" to start the list! totally the sort of phrase a woman getting nonconsensually flashed would use

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 7

i wanted the last update to be longer but when you get to a certain number of images tumblr just doesn't let you edit drafts anymore. okay. it had this problem when i liveblogged the [REDACTED] anime in like 2021 and i guess they never fixed it

so if any future updates end in an awkward place now you know why

kyoji asks about the card.....

so yamiko used to have a pretty good, well-paying job but quit for some reason she won't tell anyone and moved on to working for an occult mag

probably

so she gives him money to get them convenience store dinners later and leaves. guess we're off the hook somehow. this must be what she meant by "tomorrow's gonna be a long day"

GOD as much as i want to do yamiko’s route, i kind of love their platonic dynamic too

disclaimer: this is an eroge honestly,aside from the "getting beaten unconscious on your first day of school" thing, kyoji's life is kind of awesome

but. yknow. "ordinary daily life..... when the daily life collapses......"

anyway school's over and the teacher wants to talk to us. bakudeku is still here

yeah, probably

so teacher assumes kyoji did it for the attention, which he did not

problematic

honestly? i’ve had worse teachers

OH SHIT WE GOT A PRESENT FROM SHINTA!!! shinta gained a relationship point with kyoji, now give him 99 more and you can get married

IT LIGHTS UP

me too

hey kyoji did any of those shows you like have evil clowns? no reason, just wondering

for a gore game, GSS sure has a lot of silly lighthearted moments like this

so now he's feeling like he's really home again, and everything's going back to normal. awww

kyoji decides to give himself a tour of the school to make sure he remembers everything

the second floor is where all the club rooms are, and there are plates on the doors saying which one's which, but kyoji finds one with a blank plate. he wonders whether it's for a club too, or just an unused room

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 6: glass bones and paper skin

i DO have a cute girl around but she's BLUE (that lost us a point with kiika, naturally)

yamiko really likes cute girls huh 😳

aw 😔

OOOH? i bet this means we're on our way to the aoi city where the hair is blue and the girls are pretty

ah, another beautiful day. not a clown in the sky i mean cloud

kyoji's hesitant to go in the classroom because. y'know. the brawl

hey, this isn't so bad. that solves the "nobody wants to talk to kyoji" problem

so now a bunch of students are ALSO saying "he deserved it"

is that dekubaku

so has he changed or hasn't he...? anyway even kyoji's weirded out (in a good way?) that people suddenly like him again okay wait so he HAS changed, at least in appearance and general vibe. i guess he just grew up...a lot

see, if it was keisk, he'd just use the dog shit he always keeps in his pocket for emergencies

oooooh boy, i was wondering when that was gonna come back. here we go

right, we saw the little girl saying bye to someone before getting Clowned On

..........it does, admittedly

god DAMMIT

........................... hm.

they get their own theme names too

she doesn’t say it in this cap but pink one keeps saying -myu after every sentence. like a precure mascot

.....................................can i be literally anywhere else now please so there's a whole lot of "youre just JEALOUS of our POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW because he's so TALL and HANDSOME and RICH and (etc)"

oh thank fucking god

yeah, THAT'S the problem here

kiika finally shuts everyone up so she can listen to the PA announcement um... kyoji is being called to the principal's... oh dear

OH? HELLO

oh no. sadashima's parents are here to yell at us

YAMIKO HAS A NORMIE MODE?!

🙄

look, we're gonna fuck our cousin EVENTUALLY

...this pisses kyoji the fuck off though. bro really hates sexist dudes

"no, shut up, i've got this" oh right. bit late for this, but...

here's our protag. that's dangerously close to a mullet but not quite there yet. ...well, it's what's on the inside that counts

🙄

fumiya-chan's a pussy-ass bitch

"i said i got this bruh...relax"

GOD

GODDDD

being fucking awesome runs in the family i guess

oh right his family owns a big ol' hospital the only hospital in town. maybe this is important. or maybe not! SURELY nobody in this game will ever require medical attention

18-year-old children, mind you-- oh they're trying to sue lol

so whatever's on that card REALLY freaks the dad out

...then as soon as she doesn't have to be a normie anymore she collapses and starts whining lol never change, yamiko-san...

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 5

that got us a relationship point with...kiika?? huh??? maybe kiika also likes the hot nurse and we can bond over that down the road

or she'll just happen to show up that moment. that works too

let's not tell her about the insane brawl...yet?

"nope, don't care"

five guys: haha im stuff kyoji: omg five guys nooo

okay she figures out immediately it was a fight

but kiika already knows him from their old school, so. whew

hey akane's back WITH HOT NURSE

........she doesn't have a portrait. invisible nurse route NEVER

and now we're back home (yamiko is the hot older cousin he lives with now)

so the room's still kinda bare but has SOME personality. i just moved so i know how it is [author’s note: “just” = 10 months ago]

he's gonna sing wonderwall

kyoji just wants to rock the fuck out

[link]

THERE she is, we may not get hot nurse but there's still hot cousin

she's wearing a Denkishiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan (AKA DenKare) shirt. they sing the OP

she'll say this again during the yamiko route won't she

oh my god okay so she used to have a friend who also played guitar and collected monster figures. inch resting

it's digimon, they're all ugly

DREAM WOMAN also the pudding is meat pudding

honestly i get it. ive tried those weird coca-cola flavors for this reason too. space coke was really good. dream coke sucks

that's not a color name

also that makes her kyoji's uhhh first cousin once removed

FUCK YEAHHH yamiko also agrees they probably deserved it, and makes a cryptic comment about how "tomorrow's going to be a long day" but won't elaborate. hmm is...is she the clown

like, in a yuri way, or...

so kyoji's like "yeah everyone thinks kiika's gorgeous" and yamiko's like "oh so you LIKE like her"

m-maybe 😳

no. blue and/or red all the way

this game has a lot of choices, huh? this one’s a pretty blatant "do you want kiika's route yet" choice

[author’s note FROM THE FUTURE: it looks like kyoji brings up whoever you have the most points with? so yeah this scene is a general “just making sure but you DO want this route right” choice]

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 4

this also seems to lose us an akane point. you'll have your time in the spotlight someday, akane...for better or for worse

she's all "well exCUSE me...okay yeah youve got a point" and goes to find her, leaving aoi with us

and then she just starts listening to......some drum track. mood

she's not like other girls...

wow bro, rude he just lost a relationship point with me

i guess he just wanted to ask what she was listening to, so whatever. goddamn extroverts

she was listening to a band called "paranoia lost.” is that like phantasm

oh aoi is great actually kyoji's like "oh cool, im kinda into similar stuff, but you don't seem the type" and she's like "you said that once before..." and now he's maybe starting to remember her?

:(

okay so APPARENTLY they used to have exchange diaries together, which makes it even weirder (both to us and him) that he'd totally forget her if they were that close

heterosexual diary exchanges?! how novel!

akane's taking too long with the nurse. im bored and talking with aoi is getting awkward so let's gtfo

it's not THAT awkward also what if the nurse is hot

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 3: this guy’s fucking bonkers

there was a red heart and kind of a "bwooo..." sound so i guess we lost points with akane for siding with that totally normal guy

oh nvm this is the "w/e ur not even hot" option

oh my god just say they fucked already

anyway, back to our REAL waifu

shinta apologizes for the weird "you changed so much" stuff. kyoji asks about aoi and he's like "yeah she and kazuyagi (the red one) were besties"

oh, more vague backstory allusions ...or not so vague, shinta's actually being straightforward unlike the "after what happened...all those years ago..." stuff

so after kyoji moved, Shit Went Down. aoi's brother and dad died and she had to move

and now COLLEGE is over

back to the creepy forest

so then he goes to get his bike and sees this guy and his pals again. this normal guy. he's nice

...aaand he's sitting on the bike

so he remembers shinta’s warning and is like "not worth it, i'll come back for the bike later"

and he's about to leave but then they start talking about how much kyoji sucks

no way! really? huh!

I HAD NO IDEA

you know what...it's starting to occur to me...that maybe these guys.......aren't very nice

so sadashima's all "eww now i don't wanna fuck kazuyagi," which sounds like a win to me, but kyoji doesnt think so and has to step in. he's probably gonna get beat up

DAMN, BRO

he's stupid but he's got balls of steel, i'll give him that

burgers n' fries

AND THEN HE PUNCHES HIM!!! THIS GUY ROCKS

LET'S GOOOO

NO WONDER HE HAS THREE WEED-SMOKING GIRLFRIENDS

THIS GUY'S FUCKING BONKERS /POS

so yeah he's getting owned, but he goes down swinging

i like this guy.

(then i went to bed. i wanted to use a line break here but tumblr doesn’t let you do those anymore?)

welcome back to This

last time kyoji went back to his old school after three years and beat the shit out of some guys for slut-shaming a girl, firmly cementing him in my mind as "pretty okay.” now said girl is yelling at him for being dumb. which he is, but still, it was badass af

she keeps asking why he did it but he can't really tell her. anyway when she showed up she was like "SENSEI OVER HERE" but it was a bluff to scare the guys off. i guess because kyoji would've gotten in trouble too? she's smart. i like her

oh aoi's here too

we don't need the nurse, akane can help us just fine

akane is not a licensed medical professional and im dying

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show (part 2)

im curious about akane also because he keeps going "a certain memory came back" "why'd i have to remember that" "so AWKWARD" but blue is kawaii

a little blue heart appeared after i clicked that

so it just tells you who you got points with i guess. also it's odd that we're choosing before we've even talked to them but whatever. it's an eroge, we're here to see things happen to girls

OH SHIT EYE CONTACT

same

so everyone's staring at kyoji but, sensing his "if you talk to me you'll be eaten by a clown" vibes, they keep a wide berth

...but as he makes to leave...

he's approached by GIRLS

i guess we'll be able to talk to akane too, after all. he's surprised she'd approach him

so something happened. if you watch the OP you can get a pretty good idea of what it was

GOD

theyre really pushing this, huh

so yeah, he used to be friends with akane but Something Happened and things went bad. anyway

he asks about blue and akane's like "wtf you used to hang out ALL THE TIME"

and here's...um...green

oh they're fuckin'

he's all "you have a totally different air around you, like you're a different person!" it's the clown curse, bro, sorry

they talk about the town a bit and kyoji's like "it's as peaceful here as ever" and shinta's like "uhh yeah...about that"

was the high schooler a boob lady who talks about getting fucked by eyes? if so i think we know them both

anyway, i found this while adjusting the volume

i get to see everything now!

so the kidnappings(?) are weird because nobody's asked for a ransom or anything. and shinta's about to tell us one other thing about it before these guys start checking us out:

yeah that's not a high schooler. not that there was any doubt, since the disclaimer said they're all 18 and the disclaimer would never lie to me

he is DEFINITELY going to die and/or [REDACTED] someone

during lunch he remembers the weird warpy shit and figures he must have just gotten lost. but between that, nobody approaching him, and hearing about the kidnappings, he just feels weird about everything

and then this happens

so it seems like sadashima has been bugging akane a lot lately? ...is akane the NTR route?

so...

is something fucky and this guy's totally evil?

or are we fine with this and clearly nothing bad is happening here?

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show (part 1)

so i’ve been curious about this game since...before i was old enough to play it, probably. i listened to the OP pretty frequently and would try looking up info on the story now and again. problem is, it came out 16 years ago with no sign of an english release. i’d also heard rumors that black cyc games are programmed weird and impossible to insert text into, or something? so basically i gave up on it and moved on to greener more euphoric pastures

UNTIL NOW

it FINALLY got an english release in november 2022, and i found this out...on the last day of a JAST sale. so i figured, fuck it, no time like the present

which brings us here today. is this game good? no clue! is it gory? most likely! but nothing can faze me after euphoria, right? ......r-right?

WARNING: THIS GAME IS XTREMELY SCRAY. VIOWER EXCRETION IS ADVISD

due to tumblr’s bullshit TOS im gonna be heavily censoring scenes. you’ll have to play it yourself to get those. but also it should be fine if i post just certain key phrases from them. it wouldn’t be an eroge playthrough without “The meatus...!” after all

this OP kicks ass, highly recommended. 18+ warning though for some of the included CGs. ...not sure how it survived on youtube for 14 years

okay before i start im just gonna talk about what i know about the story, i.e. what little information i’ve gleaned from my “research”

so the plot is this dude moves back to the town he grew up in and lives with his hot older cousin. he will probably fuck her. sorry. don’t kill the messenger. he reunites with his childhood friends who are all girls with color-coded names. he will probably fuck them. for some reason there's an ossan with a gun. he will probably fuck him?

so whoever you try to date, you get harassed by this purple-haired little girl and her creepy murder clown buddy and you have to stop them from killing your three weed-smoking girlfriends

also that caution tape says "delicious"

this boob lady’s in the OP too but idk who she is

then there’s a scene of a little girl going home. it goes back and forth between this and boob lady telling the story

oh, there's the clown guy

hey it’s the groupchat

so boob lady’s going "ohh everyone's looking at me im getting fucked by eyeballs" while the little girl talks to clown guy. who then eats her. cronch

hey look, it's our protagonist...'s POV!

...or not? looks like the actual narration is in 3rd person instead of 1st, like most VNs ive played. huh.

also, only three years? i got the impression it was longer than that

this road sure looks familiar. any little girl bones around here? conspicuous bloodstains?

h-haha, you sure it's supposed to be red-brown?

i missed capping it but he crashes into purple girl on his bike and she says "welcome home :)" but when he tries to apologize she's not there

and suddenly he's in a different place... and then he gets a flat tire

AND he's late for high sch--COLLEGE

on his first day, too

his teacher's like "how tf did you get lost when you used to live here?" it's those damn warp panels, man

all my teachers just talked to me like i was braindead and/or a toddler

he will probably fuck him

short king

red one sighted!!!

here's the blue one but kyoji doesn't remember her name

and finally, the yellow one. apparently she has huge boobs. i guess she's not a childhood friend but used to live where he went before, and conveniently also transferred here

it's normal for legal adults to live alone

school sux, come get some yoofies

we've got our...awkwardly shoehorned first choice! from top to bottom, it's: 

red

blue (first playthrough) 

yellow
