Dark Eroge Game Euphoria Now Available [NSFW]

40

This dismal, dark, and eerie eroge throws you into a world in which you are completely isolated. The atmosphere, the cold white rooms, the feeling of utter helplessness. You have been forced to become an antagonist. Tasked with a “game” of choosing which of your fellow unlucky players to rape first. The one with an XY chromosome is the Unlocker who will choose the XX chromosome Keyhole to use a Key on. Denying to play is not an option. Failure to comply to the mysterious voice echoing out orders results in a most brutal, and gruesome death. If you want to leave this game alive, you must be obedient.

Euphoria Now Available

The wide variety of characters Euphoria creates will have you curious how each of their paths will play out.

Who will you violate first?

  • Nemu, a masochist and probably insane

Euphoria Now Available 6

  • There’s Rika, a childish, selfish crybaby of a girl

Euphoria Now Available 2

  • Kanae, a sweet girl who deeply cares for others over herself

Euphoria Now Available 4

  • Rinne, a calm and composed girl, analytical and observant

Euphoria Now Available 3

  • Natsuki, a teacher from the class next door

Euphoria Now Available 5

This game is possibly the most brutal eroge around. It goes without saying that this is not a game for the faint of heart. Every scene is explicit and gut wrenching. There are many instances of torture, rape, and odd sexual behavior. However, this game was made more for the disturbing effect it will leave you with, the questions you will have, and the story rather than being your typical H game.

A demo is currently available on MangaGamer as well as the complete game.

Anime visual:

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar (Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash) is a fantasy light novel series written by Ao Jumonji and features illustrations from Eiri Shirai. The series began in 2013 and is being published under Overlap Bunko. To date a total of 6 volumes have been released. The series also inspired a manga adaptation by Mutsumi Okubashi, which is being serialized in Square Enix’s Gangan Joker magazine since April this year.

Here is the series synopsis from MAL:

Why are we here? Why are we doing this?

Before Haruhiro had realized what happened, he was surrounded by darkness. Why was he here? Where was here? Even now, he still didn’t know. Those around him were the same as him, no one remembered anything other than their own names. And when they emerged from the darkness, the world that awaited them seemed like something out of a video game.

In order to survive, Haruhiro forms a party with the others, learns fighting skills, and as a soldier in the reserve force, takes his first steps into the world of Grimgar. What awaits him there, he doesn’t know…

This the story of an adventure born from the ashes.

The Hai to Gensou no Grimgar TV anime will air from January 2016 during the Winter 2015/2016 anime season. Further information about the series will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.

It hasn’t been revealed what the short will be leading to, but Magica Quartet – the team behind the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica anime series, consisting of director Akiyuki Simbo, character designer Ume Aoki, scriptwriter Gen Urobuchi (Nitroplus), and animation studio Shaft – have continued plans for a new work since the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica The Movie Part 3: Rebellion film opened in October 2013.

She has a loving family and best friends, laughs and cries from time to time… Madoka Kaname, an eighth grader of Mitakihara middle school, is one of those who lives such a life. One day, she had a very magical encounter. She doesn’t know if it happened by chance or by fate yet. This is a fateful encounter that can change her destiny—this is a beginning of the new story of the magical girls.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica is a Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft and Aniplex. It was directed by Akiyuki Shinbo and written by Gen Urobuchi, with original character designs by Ume Aoki, character design adaptation by Takahiro Kishida, and music by Yuki Kajiura. The story follows a group of female middle school students who choose to become magical girls and must battle surreal enemies called witches. However, they consequently learn of the anguish and perils associated with their newfound roles.

The first ten episodes of the series aired in Japan on TBS and MBS between January and March 2011, while the final two episodes were delayed until April 2011 due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. A manga adaptation of the series and various spin-off manga series have been published by Houbunsha and licensed in North America by Yen Press. A novelisation by Nitroplus was released in August 2011, and a dedicated magazine, Manga Time Kirara Magica, was launched by Houbunsha in June 2012. A video game for the PlayStation Portable was released in March 2012, with another for PlayStation Vita released in December 2013. A film series has also been produced, consisting of two films recapping the anime series, released in October 2012, and a third film featuring an original story which was released on October 26, 2013.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica has received widespread critical acclaim, with critics praising the writing, visuals and soundtrack of the series, as well as its approach to the magical girl subgenre. It has also been a commercial success, with each BD volume selling more than 50,000 copies. The series won several awards in Japan, such as the Television Award at the 16th Animation Kobe Awards, as well as 12 Newtype Anime Awards and the Grand Prize for animation in the 2011 Japan Media Arts awards.

People are not born equal, a realization that 4-year-old Midoriya Izuku faced when bullied by his classmates who had unique special powers. Izuku was one of the rare cases where he was born with absolutely no unique powers. This did not stop Izuku from pursuing his dream, a dream of becoming a great hero like the legendary All-Might. To become the great hero he hopelessly wants to become, he now will join the ranks of one of the highest rated “Hero Academies” in the country: Yueiko. With the help of his idol All-Might, will he be able to claim the ranks and become a true hero?

Akira Hiramoto first launched his manga in the Kodansha’s Young Magazine Weekly in February 2011. The manga won the best General Manga award alongside Yūji Moritaka and Keiji Adachi’s Gurazeni manga at Kodansha’s 37th Annual Manga Awards in May. The same wraparound band on the 14th volume also notes that the manga has more than 3.5 million copies in print.

Akira Hiramoto’s Ago Nashi Gen to Ore Monogatari manga received a mobile phone anime adaptation in 2010. Hiramoto’s Yarisugi Companion to Atashi Monogatari manga inspired a live-action film in 2011. Akira Hiramoto also wrote the award-winning supernatural drama manga Me and the Devil Blues, which Del Rey published in North America.

Prison School (Kangoku Gakuen) synopsis from Haruhichan:

On the outskirts of Tokyo stands Hachimitsu Private Academy, a storied all-girls boarding school for elite young women full of potential and good breeding. But as the new school year rolls around, one tradition is going out the window: For the first time in the school’s long history, boys are being allowed to enroll. But on the first day of school, only five boys make the cut. Kiyoshi Fujino, one of the lucky few, is thrilled by this discovery, his heart leaping with joy at the thought of being surrounded by all those girls, day in and day out. But little does he know of the shocking fate that awaits him.

Additionally, the director of the anime has noted that a second season of the series is questionable.
