This Visual Novel explicitly states it's for 18+ audiences with content warnings such as: drugging, dubious consent, manipulation, violence, stalking, and general creepiness. These were taken from both the game page and start up screen of the game. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

--------------------------------

Not gonna lie, since I was attracted to his pathetic eager vibes I didn't respond angrily nor did I call the cops on him so I'm not very sure about the other endings where Sasha may snap but hey, we got some sexual content for the boy. Not gonna lie, there's not much horror aspect from what I experience (though I'm biased) so it's more on the high or dry side but there is some potential to it. More so on the fact that MC could be corrupted by Sasha, though this is my own personal take.

I say this because when I saw Sasha and his actions, I didn't think "Hey, stranger danger pervert spotted!" but instead I thought "... Oh my god I want to fuck him up" which is quite like, he was so submissive that whatever non-existent dom side (if there was any) just reared its head and said "That one, that one" and ran with it.

Of course I'm not sure what the actual plan is but regardless of it I'm looking forward to the development!

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ but due to the nature of its contents, it may be for 17+ with content warnings such as: flashing lights, depictions of mature themes, blood, and violence. These were taken directly from the start up screen of the game. Please be advised and play at your own risk.

----------------------

At first, it may be because I couldn't empathize with being a paranoid person since I felt a bit annoyed at how focused the MC (Sarah) was about her classmate, Tyler, constantly staring at her. But I think it may come from the fact I never experienced these kinds of situations or because I have a lack of awareness around my surroundings (that being, I'm not conscious of what other people think or say about me) so I had to power through the story.

But it does have a twist and the storytelling is quite cinematic. Could give this a try to other people.

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ but it contains content warnings such as: stylized blood and gore, violence, flashing images and sudden loud noises, occasional strong language. There are more content warnings however they were hidden under a spoiler. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised and play at your own risk.

-----------------------------

This genuinely scared me, I think it was because of the small jumpscares that are used as well as the clever usage of sounds. Not only that but I like Vance as a character whose not only pathetic and can manipulate the more soft hearted players (it's me, I'm that bitch) but can also terrify us when it gets too much for him and he just wants us all to himself.

Throughout the multiple endings (and I mean, multiple) you get to learn a bit more about Vance and his life but not a lot which helps appeal to the mystery. Regarding the visual novel itself, yes it's short but it has a strong replayability to it. I suggest you write down your choices and make small changes if you want to collect all the endings (I'm not sure if there are 16 or 17 and I am honestly tired of getting the same cg or prompts tbh), or you could try to use the Achievements Guide or Game Guide that the developer made which I have in my comment (which is spoiler free since the game is so short I didn't want to spoil it). The sad thing about it is that it doesn't have a counter of how many endings there are and whatnot but eh, I suppose it may be a ploy for you to replay again and again, which I don't mind because hey! More Vance hehehe~

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ but it does say it's not suitable for children so maybe around 17+? It contains content warning such as: dark atmosphere and flashing lights. These were taken directly from the start up screen in the game. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

-------------------------------------

Honestly, what I love about this visual novel isn't just the art and the celver use of the music (it's really atmospheric) but the build up of the story. You think you know what's happening but the visual novel dunks on you and laughs as you have to reconsider what you know about these characters and the assigned roles you have set for them.

It's a kinetic visual novel with no choices yet despite that it manages to tell an interesting story in just about 20 minutes all while with a wonderful ending. Thankfully, it wasn't so terrifying for me that I was able to finish it ahahaha

This Visual Novel is intended for 18+ audiences with content warnings such as: gory/surrealistic scenes, cannibalism, murders, stalking and unpleasant sounds, violence, blood, hints of 4th wall breaking, dismemberment, swearing, sexual hints, and disturbing imagery. These were taken from both the game page and my own experiences. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

---------------------------------------

Good Lord this was a terrifying run. 

It's pretty fast paced but it gets balanced by how absolutely batshit insane Nick is, like we only have a few scenes with him but I assure you, he disturbs and scares the living shit outta me. The MC is pretty crass but also human, so the fact that somebody like them got entangled with Nick is pretty depressing (also the shit he'll do to MC...).

I'll be honest, Nick feels like an unconventional yandere, while most yandere tropes have the yandere in question love the MC in their entirety (both good and bad), Nick seems to only like MC to specific things never the entirety of them so it adds to how inhumane and horrible he is. But the mystery of him and just how deranged he is just makes me fascinated by his insanity and the fact that each individual option will drastically affect the route you are in and the different endings. So far, from what I experienced there are 3 endings (2, 3, and 4) and there's no Ending 1 yet.

This lil one deserves a place here because holy shit, Ending 3? Terrifying me while Ending 4 is like that silent horror that creeps into you. Also MC, poor dude in Ending 2...

EDIT:

Oh my god.

OH MY GOD.

The full game?? Was so bonkers, oh my godddddd. It was at an insane level of twistedness, depravity, and just-- absolutely mayhem! It's literally the embodiment of Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, because those warnings?? Yup, they're used constantly. I have never been terrified of a game character in a visual novel, but Nick??? NICK?? FUCKER TERRIFIED ME IN ALL ENDINGS 9 ENDINGS INCLUDING THE TRUE ENDING LIKE WHAT THE FUCK???

Highly recommend playing it if you can handle the warnings, they censored the gore but, ya know, your imaginations~ Either way, I'm not joking this is so good not only in a storytelling aspect, but great with its mechanics. Absolutely insane, I love it.

This Twine doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ and there really isn't anything noteworthy to say it so, but it really isn't for those who are easily disturbed. It doesn't have any blood or gore, just unsettling sounds and rising tension. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

-----------------------------------

Goddamn this certainly was an experience. There was nothing outright scary about it. No images, no jumspcares, no loud noises -- it was all quiet and eerie. It mastered that climb of suspense as well as terrifying the shit out of me with its interesting story and the way it painted a vision. Highly recommend to try it out!

This Visual Novel does not explicitly state whether or not this game is for 18+ but based on the warnings it could be for 17+, with content warnings such as: depiction of blood, as well as a character who manipulates and gaslights the player. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

-------------------------------

So far, it's laying out the foundation of the world that MC lives in. MC is pretty spineless and with a "healthy" dosage of good old imposter syndrome. Things take a turn for the curious where we meet our good old yandere, Zecherian (god  hope I spelled his name right) who looks like he is either to pull off an evil guy in a labcoat but failing(?) and only making them hot. The manipulation and mind control feels a little... weak? I'm looking forward for a bit more but so far it's pretty satisfactory.

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ but based on the content warnings, I believe it is for 18+ with content warnings such as: drowning, audio hallucinations and visuals , violence, manipulation, shaking screen, and graphic descriptions of death. These were taken directly from the game. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

----------------------------------------------

This is my first dip into the survival horror yandere visual novels and whoo-boy, it was a bit intense not gonna lie. The hilarious thing for me is that I was heading off to a good start surviving before deciding to save and then try different options, all of which I died so yep, staying with Noah is apparently the best decision there is. Not only that, but the plot itself is curious as I feel as though we are plopped in the middle of the story where MC locks their memories away leaving behind a defenseless amnesiac MC behind. While I am curious about Noah, main survival is MC's survival, but I am sure as hell Noah's shady secrets are gonna be what kills us.

This Visual Novel doesn't specify whether or not it's for 18+ audience but based on the description it may be for 17+ with content warnings such as: quick flashing screen that may triggers epileptic seizure, loud noises, harsh words, mental breakdown, and detailed description of violence/death. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

-------------------------------

Oh jesus christ was this one hell of a doozy ride, I'm just gonna say it sufficiently spooked me but not enough that I didn't want to continue playing the game, but not enough that I actually wanted to fully explore the game's choices and options.

The stampede, crowd, and so on were done so well and the trampling scenarios are just painful to read through. Not only that but when you do get face to face with the entity that hunts down this crowd, you get sufficiently spoke a hell lot of me, and the ending where you get the true ending?? Damn, sent shivers down my spine...

This Visual Novel is intended for 18+ audience with content warnings such as: glitches, derealization, game breaking, metagame breaking, 4th Wall Breaking, psychological thrill, mindgames, and general yandere shenanigans. These were all taken through my playthrough. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

--------------------------------

Not gonna lie, it was a real interesting experience. It generally doesn't feel like a yandere vn but more like a vn with subtle horror, it goes somehow both slow yet fast and it gave me some existential crisis on some parts. It was curious and interesting, especially with the endings. The plot itself is interesting as it feels different from what you think is the standard yandere visual novel.

And the art and effects?? God they are absolutely great and I love looking at them, looking forward to the update~!

Edit:

OH MY GOD THE NEW UPDATE. IT OFFERS SO MUCH IN TERMS OF LORE AND ESPECIALLY HOW GAME BREAKING THIS VISUAL NOVEL IS, LIKE THE 4TH WALL? DECEASED, GIRL IS IN THE GRAVE GETTING BURIED. But like Echo_Echo?? Damn son is really that he isn't as unhinged nor feral like Inf3rn0, but he is pretty delusional yet capable, motherfucker really pulled a game code on us... And also, remember when I said that there wasn't much yandereness? Well Echo_Echo readily supplies it with it no matter how quick and efficient he is! (Though that applies to one ending... Motherfucker really was willing to leave us high and dry, sad).

Highly recommend to go digging through the game files! There's a lot more secrets to it~!

This Visual Novel is intended for 18+ audience with content warnings such as: extreme violence, kidnapping, body horror, and references to drugs and alcohol. These were taken directly from the game page and its website, there are also specific warnings for each character route so please check out the website for them. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

--------------------------------

It's a really cool visual novel with interesting visuals and surreal writing and imagery. I haven't fully explored this visual novel with its options and many ways you can die (but so far, it's only one death per character route) but the way it's set up is pretty interesting. Within the game's own website, it tells that the visual novel itself isn't much of a dating game, but more so a medium in which it tells a story of magic-- that and violence.

The words are written almost like a poem for some characters while others *cough* are pretty chill and laid back. Though one moment you can be chill or mildly/severely horrified at one character and the next you're dead, depending on your choices. Honestly, it looks as though the replayability to this is pretty cool since the visual novel doesn't seem to let you fully explore through the different options as it triggers an event. So going back and forth is pretty much expected if you want to see what'll come next.

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+, but due to the nature of the VN and the fact that it is connected to another VN that IS for 18+ I decide that is for 18+ audience with content warnings such as: loud music, blurry and disturbing images, depictions of mental illness, mentions of self-harm, and toxic self-talk wherein the character constantly verbally abuses themselves. These content warnings were taken from my experience. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

--------------------------------------------------

Man, this was such a rollercoaster of emotions. Mostly dread, sorrow, and horror. There wasn't any sort of horror where there was no monster or the big bad, it's just the nature of someone who is mentally ill and severely suffering from it. It's dreadful and bleak, especially reading through the dialogue.

It's short but shows just how much in pain Liu is and the thoughts that cloud his mind. Dark thoughts that make you want to close your eyes because it either hits too deep within you or it hurts to read through and know someone is in pain through all that.

It's connected to its Main Game which is "Glass Mind Day 1" made by the same creator.

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ but since it's a yandere, at least 17+ would work well, it contains content warnings such as: stalking and unhealthy obsession. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

-------------------------------------------------

This is a refreshing visual novel wherein the yandere is actually our MC. Arlon is pretty closed off and looks hard to be with, apathetic and cold, but he's very attached to Owen though we don't see much of their interaction, and maybe it's intentional as we see how far Arlon has fallen for Owen all while he remains oblivious to it. For the most part, the demo has us reading the calm but insane chatterings of Arlon and the things he went through to "protect" Owen though so far he hasn't killed anyone.... yet. There also exists the possibility that we, as Arlon, fight against other yanderes?? Because if so that would be totally cool!

This Visual Novel (?) doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's intended for 18+ audience, but from my experience it may be for 17+ for its content warnings such as:  stalking,  dreamlike imagery, unsettling imagery + noise, body horror, and self-harm. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

---------------------------------

It's not really a visual novel made in Renpy but in RPG Maker, but doesn't contain any need to move. Its got this dream-like state to this with beautiful imagery and the LI(?) in this is very unique, like, the design is pretty interesting and breaks out from the usual human LIs there are. The design is pretty creative and fits with his personality. The mystery itself is pretty intriguing and the horror aspects begin to show nearing the very end, but the buildup itself is pretty good.

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ but based on the content warnings it may seem to be for 17+, it's  contains content warnings such as: death of animals, panic attacks, non-con drug use, psychological abuse, and stalking. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

---------------------------------------------------

This visual novel really would have deceived me... Its got such a painterly feeling to it and cozy vibes, not only that but Chester is such a comforting figure and he's quite endearing... But based on the description and the first gallery image, it ain't anything like so... Still looking forward to it.

But it also has the promise of having a platonic yandere! Which is pretty rare (from what I know) so I'm curious how that dynamic works out!

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ audience but based on my experience playing it, it could be around 17+ with its content warnings such as: stalking, blood, physical violence, and attempted murder. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

-------------------------------------------

Man! This was such a nice ride!

This is a prequel to the developer's first Visual Novel, "Dr. Morgan's Counseling Session". You can really tell a lot of omprovements were made such as the art of Oliver's sprite being more dynamic and refined, a lot of options, the plot being a lot more dynamic, the sound effects, and so on. Not only that, but there are a lot more endings where you can explore and have fun!

Really enjoyed myself playing this hehehehe~!

This Interactive Fiction doesn't explicitly state whether or not it's for 18+ audience, but based on my playthrough of it, I suppose it can be for 18+ with content warnings such as: violence, gore, drug & alcohol use, strong language, abuse, mentions of suicide. These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

---------------------------------

It's quite rich in violence however it's not super detailed so there's not a lot of detailed violence, however it is there and it doesn't shy from it. I'm enthralled by the interaction and how the MC reacts to the trauma that's resurfacing. The mystery of the plot keeps you intrigued and involved, especially regarding the cult story. And though the cult trope is a bit overrated, it plays a kind of subtle tone wherein they were a very big force at the start of the chapter but as new chapters come in, they're more lowkey and sort of a quiet terror. Highly looking forward to how it plays out with such an overused trope!

This Interactive Fiction if explicitly for 17+ audience with content warnings such as: graphic violence, language, alcohol use, drug use, dark humor blood, depictions of death, criminal activity, dark themes, and other dark content. This was taken directly for the start up screen. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

--------------------------------------

As of now, at the time of playing the demo, there hasn't been any of these content warnings showing up aside from blackmail but as the demo continues with development. I believe that these warnings are about to show up. 

It's quite short, but there is the exposition of the plot. "Roman" (the villain of whom you romance) is pretty threatening and intimidating in just a few scenes, and they work fast... Very fast to entrap the MC. Which I am curious about because why MC? I'm sure it will be explained further within the story but so far? MC ain't having a good time.

Also MC reacts with a bit more reality to their situations, they don't instantly simp despite them acknowledging that Roman is pretty, instead they see Roman as this awful person and rightfully so because of the circumstances leading up to them being blackmailed in being Roman's partner in crime. Fellas, those who like a good enemies-to-lovers moment, we about to feast on this.

This Visual Novel is intended for 18+ audience with content warnings such as:  alcohol ingestion , violence, possible main character death, descriptions of violence, blood, image of violence and blood, mentions of arson, mention of explosive device, threat of violence, and player death. These were taken directly from the creator's tumblr FAVOR CONTENT WARNINGS. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

----------------------------------

This was such a fun visual novel despite its tags. However, I'm sure future episodes that will come out will show to us just how demented and fucked up everything actually is. But the content warnings are there, however some are lowkey enough for you to miss but they're there in case some don't vibe well with you. I also haven't explored much since I was content with my run since I enjoyed talking with Z so much, but I'm sure if you explored much you can be able to see the more... unsavory sides Z isn't keen to show yet.

Oh, and speaking of Z! Honestly, he's such a fun person to banter with! The way he speaks is so calming but also super funny and interesting that you just want to engage. They genuinely feel like such good company-- If you ignore a few demented words that pass by his lips... Other than that, there is that subtle mystery of the history between MC and Z, so it'd be fun to uncover that~! Really just vibing well with Z, it's the calm before the storm.

Highly recommend to try this out! Not only for its cool story and character, but mainly for its BEAUTIFUL and I mean BEAUTIFUL art and that lovely background music that really immerses you in that pub atmosphere (I don't think I'm a good judge since I've never went to a pub/bar before...) Either way, highly recommend it!!

This Interactive Fiction is for 18+ audience with content warnings such as: sexual themes, gore, violence, dubious morality, referenced child abuse, yandere tendencies, unhealthy relationships, and optional fetish content (dubcon, predator/prey, degradation, etc...). These were taken directly from the game page. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

----------------------------

So far, most of the content warnings haven't been applied since the... twine? Visual Novel? I'm not sure I've gotten used to Visual Novel for so long but I'll just go with Twine. Anyway, this Twine only has its prologue and the beginning parts of Chapter 1, so not a much is to be seen within the demo itself. But if you do go to the creator's Tumblr you can see that there are some inside scenes about it.

Also, just because the Twine hasn't shown the content warnings just yet doesn't mean anyone below 18 can go ahead and play it, please respect each others spaces, the law, and your own well-being. 

Other than that, there is some promise to it, I don't wanna bring too much pressure since it's only just beginning but other than that I look forward to see what'll happen! Cult stories aren't usually my jam when they center around the idea of a struggling MC being the cult leader because that's just boring to me and cheapy (no offense to anyone who does like it because everyone has different taste). But when cult stories have an interesting element to it, like MC being the cult leader is hellbent on their cult, cruel, and absolutely vile, or if MC is part of the cult but isn't the center of attention, then that's infinitely more interesting as it explores more dynamics and MC's actions instead of it being bland. So yeah, I did just say to myself not to put too much pressure but I'm really intrigued by it!

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly say it's for 18+ but based on my experience with it, I suppose it can be 17+. It has content warnings such as: dismemberment, drugging, surreal horror, distressing sounds, violence, gore, murder, player death, and stockholm syndrome. Most of these were taken from my gameplay experience. Please be advised, and play at your own risk.

---------------------

This was quite something that's for sure. I love the surrealness towards it, how the plot doesn't go according to what you think it would be. The endings themselves help keep the intrigue of the visual novel since it's the twists needed. The dynamic between Elliot and MC is pretty interesting, especially when in some endings allude to the fact that Elliot and MC share more in common than they may think, or ignoring the "hidden" plot point and continuing on as either MC escapes (and the aftermath vary), dies escaping, kills, or gets coerced in a relationship varies through endings.

But the one that proves to have a lot of lore is pretty interesting in itself, especially when you unlock all endings (I didn't get the one where MC was killed by Elliot because I was too pussy to do it). Other than that, it's a pretty artistic visual novel that makes you wonder what the hell is going on in this world. Very cool!

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly say it's for 18+ but based on my experience, I could say it's 17+ solely for it's content warning: gore. This was taken directly from the game page. Please be advised and play at your own risk.

-----------------------

This wasn't so much of a horror experience as it was a subtle creeping of one. The gore itself isn't that much prevalent and the "jumpscares" are kept at a minimal which helps with the overall plot of the visual novel. The concept of Elijah is pretty intriguing and curious, especially when he gets all fussy about New Years for some reason. It's a short creepy game with not much outward scare factors, but it does keep you waiting for the next scene until it finally ends.

This Visual Novel is intended only for 18+ audience with content warnings such as: sexual themes, violent sexual themes, death, and forced drug use. These were taken directly both from the game page and the start up screen. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

----------------------------------

For a kind of short length, the visual novel itself is pretty good! It's an erotic horror visual novel, and truly doesn't sugarcoat itself. Nothing graphic is shown (the sex stuff is referenced lightly with no vivid description while the latter things aren't referenced all that clearly). I'll be honest, it's a pretty good visual novel! Though I kinda wished we talked a little bit more with Chris (the "LI" in question) so we feel a bit more of a bond with him, but other than that it was a pretty nice little experience.

Well not for the MC that's for sure but hey, they live in two endings! (Even though one isn't really much them being... alive for a long time...). Do heed the warnings and know your limits, even though nothing graphic is shown or vividly explained, there are still implication and well, the entire shebang. Still a nice little visual novel.

This Visual Novel doesn't explicitly say it's for 18+ however through my playthrough, I could guess it is 18+ with content warnings such as: murder, imprisonment, coercion, blood, non-consesual kissing, too many bad ends, and yandere. These were taken directly from the game page and start up screen of the game. Please be advised and play at your own risk.

------------------------------

Well this one was a doozy, it starts off with good pacing but makes it known that this particular yandere is pretty excited to get things murder-y. Other than that, it has a pretty good story where you seem to want to know more about them but the yandere isn't all that patient. There are 8 endings but actually 4 with variations to them, the changes are pretty minor but it does make you feel good to complete it. The ending themselves aren't difficult to collect as long as you explore your choices.

Yandere-wise.... Hm, for me it really isn't a standard yandere, sure The God is pretty possessive but only for what you can give them other than what you are. There is one ending (with both A and B) where he does act like a yandere but others have him use you and just generally giving poor Yun bad days for ages. Other than that, I don't mind it all that much since it has pretty graphics and an actual kind of terrifying "yandere" who doesn't mind getting their hands dirty of your blood.

This Visual Novel is intended for 18+ audiences with content warnings such as: strong language, unsettling themes, kidnapping, needles, chloroform, knives, and player death. These were taken directly from the game page and start up screen of the game. Please be advised, only play when you're the intended age, and play at your own risk.

-----------------------------------

Man, this was quite intense and unsettling for just a few minutes. I like how the formula was different and how we're getting a bit more variety with yanderes in this visual novel community wherein you face the actual horror of yanderes that see you nothing but another npc that live in their world. While it isn't my favorite for my soul, I absolutely adore reading through it to dissect just how differently everything becomes and that it forces the perspective of horror and dread.

Alternatively, I also like the character despite having my own reservations. I have some ideas about them (not sure of their pronouns so I'll go with they/them) and how they are related to teh story (specifically to someone coughcough). I'm very curious about whether they'll accept us fully as being a "worthy lover" (lmao, title drop) to their son... But who knows.

Other than that, while short as typical for a game jam, this was quite an interesting little trip that's for sure!
