@@Geo255420 It's fine to read Yume Miru Kusuri and Dohna Dohna, since they hardly have any of the sh*t that the other VNs in the list has to offer. Yume Miru Kusuri is especially relatively similar to Silent Voice manga/anime in the bullying themes, so I'd highly recommend it
This needs to be a top comment, I want to hear this too so I can have the confidence to try out some games that aren't so... Hardcore I guess in comparison, it's one thing to read or watch something messed up, it's another to get immersed in a game right off the bat where you probably have to wait for some save point to take a break without losing your progress 😂❤
Problem Is that as long as you Say disturbing or disgusting you can Say you played these games The Moment you admit these are hot, that's when you become weird.
Saya no Uta is one I accidentally stumbled upon once and I will never forget the meat walls, microwaving human fruit, or ear melting scene. It lives in my trauma folder section of my brain. I haven’t played a single eroge since.
@@squidmom3162 IDK, I prefer to call THAT scene "Tsukuba Yoh's final phone call." When Saya was turning her into Fuminori's "pet." 😨 I'm in no rush to re-live that scene again.
Between Sydney wanting to name her son "Griffin" or "Johann" and saying she'd read them Yandere stories to sleep...... yeah I think that speaks for itself lolol
Not gonna lie the Yandere game sounds interesting to me, mostly to see if me playing blind how high the survival rating I can get. If it ends up not being too offputting I can try to make it a blind challenge to me and some of my weird friends.
I remember playing Dustmania years ago, but it never felt complete. It felt like they were going somewhere and just kinda dropped it at the last minute. Despite it being over the top, it had potential.
14:00 dying laughing at this, i realise it's kinda just how syd talks but saying that its only "a little bit worse" to imagine gore while youre trying to eat is hilarious
I would like you to give Euphoria a second read so much though, even if you censor the gore and scat (cus really, the only reason why you’d keep that up is either because it’s your thing or because you want to have the true experience), because the true end makes you look back at all of this like… Yeah, I fought really hard for that. And that’s exactly how the characters felt at the end of it too, and so I think that, eroge stuff aside, it’s also the reason why this game is so graphic. (Can you tell it really affected me? XD) PS: ever heard of Fraternite? Same artist, same studio, even more f*cked up storyline than Euphoria and Maggots Bait combined with absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel. I think it easily tops all of the eroges here in the sense that not only is it graphic, it’s also so, so immensely depressing and the feeling of helplessness is… off the charts.
Yeah, but Fraternite isn't in English so everyone telling us how great it is doesn't really help much. In the immortal words of Chris Farley on an SNL sketch, "I don't speak Japanese!"
Kara no Shoujo just made me sad more than disgusted because [spoiler] you just straight up fail at being a detective and let half the cast die horrific deaths.
Does any heroines actually survive and are saved by the end of Kara no Shoujo? I am not keen on playing a VN that just wipes out the whole cast of heroines by the end of the series
@@MysistercannotbeaTimeTraveler some heroines do survive but the most fleshed out ones mostly don't. There is an ending where the main heroine can survive, but it's not the canon one. It's just a very gloomy, depressing game. I still think it's interesting in terms of tone, aesthetic identity, and the "post WW2 nihilism" vibe is unmatched. But yeah, it's not a fun, heartwarming vibe 😅
OMG YOU'RE THE EUPHORIA GIRL!!!! I remember watching the ova's and trying to find ANYTHING that explained what happened (this was a long time ago) and i found your video! So glad you're doing well!
I will never emotionally recover from NO THANK YOU!!!! Its BL but I would recommend it for the plot alone. Its a mystery surrounding a snuff ring with a crazy twist. There is a brain scene and that is all I will say there. Apparently the studios other game is more psychological horror. Room no 9 throws 2 bffs in a room and forces them to choose between physical or psychological damage for ten days to be freed.
Back in the days there was a flash game from 2007 called "Demonophobia"..... I recently got to know about it and decided to give it a try. Boy oh boy that's one messed up game.
What's interesting is that the creator is anonymous and they planned to make "Demonophobia 2", but the project was cancelled for unknown reasons. Maybe, the creator was pleased enough with the public reaction of the 1st game, so they gave up on the 2nd game, I don't know.
@@peachesandcream22 demonophobia is creepy in itself for not having any audio and fullscreen support. It's absolute gore, horror and ryona. Also there is a sequel called xenophobia which is slightly underwhelming.
That's the point. Clockup takes influence from a lot of grindhouse movies which were known for their shock value. Also you can throw them in the camp of movies like Salo (120 Days) and A Serbian Film. They're plotge however, so despite the dark stuff they definitely have stories which get resolved in one way or another.
kara no shoujo deffo one of the more tame things on this list, but it still lives rent free in my head ngl. Like its not eye bleach material, and you can mostly talk about it without being put on a watchlist... but the way they write the scenes kinda just feels you with an uncomfortable dread. Like each time you go to bed in game you are just sitting there praying they arent going to make you watch someone you care about get chopped to bits. Outside of the violence there isnt too much dodgy shit and if i remember correctly its mostly just implied or mentioned second hand.
my favorite games are always the ones that tear my heart out and leave me in distress...maggot baits is unironically my favorite VN, the true ending made me cry like a baby idk if syd takes game recommendations but kurukuru fanatic is a WILD ride that i think she'd have a hell of a time with. it's a dark comedy eroge with all yandere heroines, pretty unique ones too
This list will need these additions, they are also available in English now: Cartagra ~Tsuki Kurui no Yamai~ Subarashiki Hibi ~Furenzoku Sonzai~ Yanderella Raging Loop Iwaihime Sakura no Mori † Dreamers Salthe
Oooh yanderella, havent heard that one in a long while! Played it like almost a decade ago when I stumbled upon it on tumblr. Was relatively simple plot, short (you'll probably be done in like 3-5 hours for all endings) and enjoyable! When i played it back then with my boyfriend, I was like reading the lines for each girl in the most super sweet soft voices I could muster (think princess Peach), and he has since then associated me sounding like that with scary.
I watched all 6 episodes of the Euphoria ova. Rinne's cult is insane along with their members. I also did a watchalong marathon of School Days with FUWAMOCO during Christmas last year. I had to spent the next day to recovery from the stress from the School Days watchalong. It was that bad.
The anime is broken. The Rinne cult path isn't real. That was an illusion. The anime never told the whole story, but it's worth it even though it's a major infodump. But if you really want to know... Euphoria. Never. Happened.
As it should be. MB allows us to see the darkest in mankind in order to show us who we should not be. Unfortunately, there are cases of such acts like this in the real world, quite recently in an Indian hospital. I thought that MB was so shocking that no one on earth would ever be so depraved, but I was unfortunately wrong.
So weird seeing Kara no Shoujo alongside some of the stuff on this list. LIke, yeah, it's messed up I guess, but from what I remember Cartagra was probably worse. Can't decide whether I want Saya no Uta to be on here.
Otakon 2024 just happened. Upon entering Dealers Row I was greeted by a table full of these titles. I immediately remembered your vids, quickly walked away, and didn’t look back. 😨
Dohna Dohna, it's just like Persona 5 but for degenerates. Outstanding art, phenomenal OST, funny characters, entertaining story, adictive gamplay, heavy management mechanics, and some disturbing things, of course, not at level of Euphoria at all but still hurt beacause you like the characters. PD: Porno is best waifu, she is too funny. PD: Forgive me Alice, I couldn't save you. ;-; I stopped of playing a week after that. PD3: I hope a Remaster some day, 1080p at least.
@@grimsdungeonofcomics Yeah, I know, but a lot a VN get a Remaster, technically and only better resolution, and it will look great at 1080p, don't you think?
@@algarcia3729 I strongly doubt Alicesoft has any desire in remastering it this early on. Again, the game came out in 2020 and they're more worried about remastering games that came out a good twenty years ago, like with the current game remaster announcement. Those to me I think need more of a remaster than games than are still in HD to begin with. The game looks fine as far as I'm concerned, I think people get way too obsessed with this stuff. First it needs to be 1080, then 4k, then 8k in a few years - but games that are SD from many decades ago, those could use a real remaster. Besides, the writer for DD left Alicesoft and I guess they pretty much scrapped the sequel.
@@grimsdungeonofcomics Yeah, I know but dreaming is for free. And 1080p is more than enough to enjoy the sprites and CGs. A sequel is impossible, a lot of important people left but the story ended so a sequel isn't really necessary. Maybe in a decade a Remake, yeah, I keep dreaming, the ZZZ style would be cool for that, at least mods.
I think the thing that got me about Saya no Uta is that... it never stops... it keeps going... the noises... the meat... whispers and noises... it definitely sticks with you. never was an eroge person, still i'm not, but this one...
Can’t remember, but the ending to Euphoria is different than a version I had; where the reporter destroys the computer system killing the MC, and BOTH Manakas. Maybe it was an alpha build or something…
The question I always ask myself when I watch you do breakdowns on these and maybe play/watch one of these is always "WHY AM I LIKE THIS WHY AM I DOING THIS?" but I can't stop. @sydsnap tell me whyyyy.
You missed Inyochu: Insects of Insemination here - despite having review of it on the channel. P.S.: can't wait to watch your reaction to Sayonara o Oshiete if/when you read it (there is probably better translation in the works then the current one but whether it will be worthy to wait for it - idk, tbh).
whenever i thnk of bible black, my mind immeditaly goes to Matt McMuscles yelling "Do you want to join my Bible Black club?!" in videos. Also the animation in the 'anime' still holds up
0:56 playing what happened to edith finch (do not game this game, no answers, just witnessing abuse, neglect, and Explocation.) And watching journey into the absyss..i didnt know what it was and i saw the movies on hidive and i was like oh that looks cute and wholesome from the thumbnail they chose..i want to forget them...😢😢😢😢😢 also watching the horror anime of the family restaurant, oil everywhere, son drinking it, that shit made me puke
Fun video! Im just back from a return trip to "extreme horror" books and yet I wasnt prepared for some of those : just a quick "uncensored" Google search got my wheel spinning. Im just gonna replay renai royale...
We appreciate your sacrifice, as person that falls sleep while playing, there ain't no way I could go through a mid #%^ messed up story. Can't wait to cry ❤❤❤❤❤
No matter how many of these I read it never gets easier. I do go out of my way to not allow myself to be desensitized though and I generally prefer wholesome most of the time.
I read the school days manga first when I was on the hunt for yandere manga, and the initial shock I felt when she held the saw up to the other girl's neck was so awesome that I've been hunting for that feeling again after so long. Like up to that point I was convinced the manga site had tagged this manga wrong, that it was just a normal romance drama.
3:05 Guys make sure to click off if you're sensitive to "some very messed up things". I'm now scared to watch the video, because I do have serious ptsd triggers and idk if they're included here, because of the extremely vague content warning. I'm being hyperbolic but this experience has shown me why content warnings are descriptive, why we should provide some context beyond "viewer discretion is advised". I'm skipping this video because I've been gatekept successfully and discussing the meta of it has got me so bored
My first eroge was Dramatic Murder, I think I played it when I was like 13/14? I went in knowing it was a bl just ahahahaha did not expect the bad endings
W Tier list. For not only knowing Maggot Baits but also putting Saya no Uta in S. I was legit worried you'd put Saya in like, B or something. I may have severely low expectations from bigger YTers.
How educational. I'm slightly horrified by my new sordid understanding of depravity and options. Tbh, I'm scared that I might play one or more of these "games."
If you guys like the theme from Maggot Baits, listen to Stabbing Westward. The band pretty much ripped off Stabbing Westward (in a good way) but more of that music in the same exact style with the same exact vocal style exists. Also check out his solo project, The Dreaming.

Main reasons to watch this channel:
1) Amazing media recommendations
2) Syd regretting her life choices in realtime
I now watch Sydsnap vids for either a great horror manga recommendation, or just Sydney regretting some messed up eroge she played.
I watch them for messed-up eroge recommendations, she always finds the good ones
Sydney is so jaded she thinks being forced to eat your only friend and cute pet puppy is mid
Says a Lot about her childhood
Maggot baits most have been so traumating that she blocked it from her mind
I’ve seen murder witnesses with less fear in their eyes than people who have seen that.

Damn. Sydney's description of "Homeless Girl" got to me. 😭 I don't get how there's demand for such hopeless stories like that.
It’s torture p*rn basically. Lots of nem are into that 😞
Saya no Uta is one I accidentally stumbled upon once and I will never forget the meat walls, microwaving human fruit, or ear melting scene. It lives in my trauma folder section of my brain.

Between Sydney wanting to name her son "Griffin" or "Johann" and saying she'd read them Yandere stories to sleep...... yeah I think that speaks for itself lolol
Saya no Uta *IS* truly Gen Urobutcher *PEAK* romance writing
and of course is coming from a person with Saya no Uta profile
Anyone who thinks Madoka is his magnum opus has clearly never read SnU before
Kiritsugu & IIrisviel? Toxic. So that really leaves just Saya and Fuminori which was oddly (kinda?) wholesome by the end
It’s overrated and not fleshed out enough.
Not gonna lie the Yandere game sounds interesting to me, mostly to see if me playing blind how high the survival rating I can get. If it ends up not being too offputting I can try to make it a blind challenge to me and some of my weird friends.
The people who did "Dustmania Grotesque" are Uziga Waita fans lmao. It's been a while since I heard such intricate... details.

The anime is broken. The Rinne cult path isn't real. That was an illusion. The anime never told the whole story, but it's worth it even though it's a major infodump. But if you really want to know...

Again, the game came out in 2020 and they're more worried about remastering games that came out a good twenty years ago, like with the current game remaster announcement. Those to me I think need more of a remaster than games than are still in HD to begin with. The game looks fine as far as I'm concerned, I think people get way too obsessed with this stuff. First it needs to be 1080, then 4k, then 8k in a few years - but games that are SD from many decades ago, those could use a real remaster. Besides, the writer for DD left Alicesoft and I guess they pretty much scrapped the sequel.
@@grimsdungeonofcomics Yeah, I know but dreaming is for free. And 1080p is more than enough to enjoy the sprites and CGs.
A sequel is impossible, a lot of important people left but the story ended so a sequel isn't really necessary.
Maybe in a decade a Remake, yeah, I keep dreaming, the ZZZ style would be cool for that, at least mods.
I’m morbidly intrigued. I like Syd’s vids. I’m curious about these, some of them anyway lmao. Not the sister hemorrhoids one tho lmao
I think the thing that got me about Saya no Uta is that... it never stops... it keeps going... the noises... the meat... whispers and noises... it definitely sticks with you.
never was an eroge person, still i'm not, but this one...
Subahibi needs to be next in line
You should play The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. Not long, quick and kinda disturbing (but not much).
Can’t remember, but the ending to Euphoria is different than a version I had; where the reporter destroys the computer system killing the MC, and BOTH Manakas. Maybe it was an alpha build or something…
Ah, what a nice video to watch while I eat lunch.
This is a good decision. /s
The question I always ask myself when I watch you do breakdowns on these and maybe play/watch one of these is always "WHY AM I LIKE THIS WHY AM I DOING THIS?" but I can't stop. @sydsnap tell me whyyyy.
You missed Inyochu: Insects of Insemination here - despite having review of it on the channel.
P.S.: can't wait to watch your reaction to Sayonara o Oshiete if/when you read it (there is probably better translation in the works then the current one but whether it will be worthy to wait for it - idk, tbh).
Glad that I wasn't the only one who noticed it X'D
*can't look at Sydsnap right now, remembers the feeling of disgust and not trusting anyone after an unscheduled session*
You should really play Evenicle. No further comments needed :D
whenever i thnk of bible black, my mind immeditaly goes to Matt McMuscles yelling "Do you want to join my Bible Black club?!" in videos. Also the animation in the 'anime' still holds up
0:56 playing what happened to edith finch (do not game this game, no answers, just witnessing abuse, neglect, and Explocation.) And watching journey into the absyss..i didnt know what it was and i saw the movies on hidive and i was like oh that looks cute and wholesome from the thumbnail they chose..i want to forget them...😢😢😢😢😢 also watching the horror anime of the family restaurant, oil everywhere, son drinking it, that shit made me puke
never thought i'm going to hear yume miru kusuri here. one of the first i played as well. i loved that one :>
I'm using this video as a shopping list
Play slow damage!
Okay, now rank the S tier so we can find the ultimate trauma creator VN
Yeah, I think Song of Saya is the farthest I'm willing to go, in terms of extreme visual novels.
Uhhh, no Subahibi or ~Sayonara oshiete~, but girly needy... It's over
I was gonna say the same 😢
Fun video! Im just back from a return trip to "extreme horror" books and yet I wasnt prepared for some of those : just a quick "uncensored" Google search got my wheel spinning.
Im just gonna replay renai royale...
So a perfect recommendation for anyone here, now we know what we have to go through soon
Sydsnap you should try playing Fraternite its also by Clock Up same people who made euphoria
I thought about that too
Unfortunately, it's still not translated in english
@@PhilSunderlanddoesn’t she literally live in japan and speak japanese fluently?
@@tams5204 Oh I didn't know that. In that case, never mind.
We appreciate your sacrifice, as person that falls sleep while playing, there ain't no way I could go through a mid #%^ messed up story. Can't wait to cry ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow you made it out. Good for you
Curiosity is going to get the best of me, and I'm going to be traumatized too now
18:53 Euphoria taught us that Dead game and R***/Sex games are interchangeable
No matter how many of these I read it never gets easier. I do go out of my way to not allow myself to be desensitized though and I generally prefer wholesome most of the time.
I read the school days manga first when I was on the hunt for yandere manga, and the initial shock I felt when she held the saw up to the other girl's neck was so awesome that I've been hunting for that feeling again after so long. Like up to that point I was convinced the manga site had tagged this manga wrong, that it was just a normal romance drama.
I remember some of these messed up games. Back in the day they were about the only visual novels able in English.
Wake up babe, new Sydsnap upload.
3:05 Guys make sure to click off if you're sensitive to "some very messed up things".
I'm now scared to watch the video, because I do have serious ptsd triggers and idk if they're included here, because of the extremely vague content warning.
I'm being hyperbolic but this experience has shown me why content warnings are descriptive, why we should provide some context beyond "viewer discretion is advised".
I'm skipping this video because I've been gatekept successfully and discussing the meta of it has got me so bored
My first eroge was Dramatic Murder, I think I played it when I was like 13/14? I went in knowing it was a bl just ahahahaha did not expect the bad endings
I watched a streamer play it and oh my god, they were brutal XD
Remember the song Monster from Skillet? I think it summarizes one of the endings X’D
W Tier list. For not only knowing Maggot Baits but also putting Saya no Uta in S. I was legit worried you'd put Saya in like, B or something. I may have severely low expectations from bigger YTers.
How educational. I'm slightly horrified by my new sordid understanding of depravity and options. Tbh, I'm scared that I might play one or more of these "games."
If you guys like the theme from Maggot Baits, listen to Stabbing Westward. The band pretty much ripped off Stabbing Westward (in a good way) but more of that music in the same exact style with the same exact vocal style exists. Also check out his solo project, The Dreaming.
