An excellent introduction to the BEST Namida brother...
Jokes aside, this was a really well-done introduction to Adam's character! I'll start off with the art - it is very good, with a lot of attention and detail put into the rendering of the anatomy. However, more so than the erotic scenes, I was impressed by the stylistic choices put into other aspects. The background is sparse and empty, rendered in simple red and black shades, reflecting the hollowness of Alex's relationship with Adam. In Adam's main CG, Adam is in full view, rendered in full detail - while the background behind him is almost entirely blank, reflecting Alex's fixation on the objection of his affections. The erotica is well-written! It felt very sensual while also serving to characterize the leads (the climax was...something, but it was very fitting to the characters and the title). The VAs did a fantastic job, and the BGM is fitting for setting the vibe.
SLIGHT SPOILERS
I was already a bit familiar with the characters going into this so I might be biased, but I think that this did a wonderful job of introducing you to these characters. I could really understand why Alex felt so drawn to Adam, both due to his past and Adam himself. From what we learn, Alex is lonely and desperate for affection, unhappy with the gangster life that he's found himself in. Adam is sexy and charismatic, but beyond that he's a comforting presence - he looks out for Alex's needs, treats him like a friend, and gives Alex space to be vulnerable. Adam is "poison" - he's the "drug" that Alex needs to forget about his troubles, to survive. However, at the same time, Adam is cruel. He doesn't try to be, but his neglect towards the people around him is quite apparent, and it is clear that continuing to stay with Adam will only lead to heartbreak for Alex. The game did an excellent job of portraying the nuanced relationship between these two "sex friends" - how their relationship goes beyond just the physical, and how that makes it all the more poisonous.
*sigh* You made me sympathize with Adam...(I'm seeing the hints you're dropping here, and it made me feel for him...a smidgen...)
*sigh..................*
Overall, this was really quite good! (And such a stark distinction from Katekyo's game, haha!)
