Dies irae

Dies irae

May 1, 1945- Germany.On the eve of Berlin’s collapse, a group of men and women carried out a certain ritual. To them, suffering defeat in the war meant nothing. If anything, the countless lives lost in the battle served as a catalyst to their sacrificial ceremony. Whether or not their attempt bore fruit ― not a soul knows. Following the war, they faded from sight, mind, and eventually into the realm of myth.

61 years later ― Japan, 2006.
Ren Fujii, a young man attending high school in Suwahara City, finds his friendship with his old buddy Shirou Yusa shatter to pieces following a certain incident, ending in a vicious fight that sees Ren hospitalized for two months.
The season shifts from autumn to winter ― to the dawning weeks of December, with Christmas on the horizon. Having lost his best friend, Ren leaves the hospital with the intention to rebuild his new life without Shirou.
But even that plan soon falls apart. Irrationality that defies the realm of common sense begins to assault and devour the city. Abnormalities soon seek to destroy everything Ren holds dear before his eyes with overwhelming violence.
He must change, even if it means crossing the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary. His desires are hardly anything grand. All he wants is to return to those days of old. Back to those days filled with simple, everyday joy.
The battle with the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. A continuation of that war full of madness, carnage, and maledictions. What future awaits Ren at the end of his road…?

Am I safe to assume that this is the Steam version, and not the +18 version?
manotasReply
Ayup, there is no +18 patch yet.
LIGHTDXReply
It looked interesting but i'll wait for the +18 patch then.
LeonhartReply
That is rather simple-minded. In a game that is about 70h long, the H-scenes make up about...0.1% of all the events. It will be at least 2 more months before a 18+ patch is released.

If you are not reading this masterpiece just because of such a petty reason, then you are probably unfit for it anyway....
RenaReply
If it truly is a masterpiece that people have waited years to play, wouldn't it be worth waiting a couple more months to play its complete and intended form ?
peacefireReply
The hentai content was only added to pander to japanese otaku, so technically the steam version is likely the "complete and intended form." as far as the author is concerned.
The_Great_BeyondReply
actually this was originally released for 18+ it wasn't until 5 years later it was released without adult content because it was moved to a handhold system. So the sex was made for the story and fits the game not pander.
VyrexReply
You don't get what the real meaning of pandering is I see. It matters not if the H was part of the game already, if the scenes were created merely to force the game into Japan's 18+ market then it IS pandering. Many companies have done it in the past, enough times that we can spot predictable patterns where the H content is obviously unnecesary and out of place. Prominent examples are titles like Fate/Stay Night and Kanon, where the writers flat out admitted they wrote H-scenes almost against their will merely to meet the expectations of the japanese market. This is often the reason why almost all popular titles end up with an All-Ages release after their 18+ release.
The_great_beyondReply
sir or madam please do not assume things, I know what pandering is quite well and I have read visual novels that have said pandering and others where they are part of the plot. have a good day.
InfernoReply
TLDR; regardless if its pandering or not...
I think, it is still a person's right to choose the 'original' version.

I choose to play this game as it was first released to the Japanese market.
And if the H-scenes is indeed 'not needed'... Then I still want to experience the game and judge it for MYSELF if it indeed 'not needed' in its full form...

TYVM.
BeaReply
Haha..Not worthy?! Its a good thing we got obnoxious bezzerwizzers to tell us how to enjoy games at erogedownload. Wouldnt want some stupid hentai to wait until the game is complete in its original form would we! May I ask when you played both original versions to compare, oh exhalted one?
akijillReply
I assume the patch can be applied once the game is finished and just by loading a save file I can access the h-scenes right? Cause if the patch forces me to replay the game from scratch it may not be worth starting right away.
ViktorStagnettiReply
This is a rather simple-minded response. H content isn't the only thing affected by these steam versions. Violent scenes are toned down, certain lines or explicit jokes are cut out. Much like the Grisaia all ages versions. It's better to wait for the completed product as it was originally intended.
LIGHTDXReply
ViktorStagnetti explained everything. It is not really the lack of H-scenes that stop me (or others) from playing, but the fact that the game was censured beyond that afecting the dialogues, characters and scenes losing its original form.

Playing the game like this may be nice and i may be able to enjoy the story and the game but it will be surely better the intended +18 version, since i'm not planing to play the game twice it is better for me to wait.
LeonhartReply
It wasn't. The gore is there in 100% form in this version. They said so, and I can assure you after playing this version
dReply
yeah. this version ad many other All-Ages versions on Steam only have the H-content removed and leave all M rated stuff like violence, blood, and language alone, since it isn't AO-rated content like the H-Scenes,
ScyReply
Well, I inow the first Grisaia VN on steam had some of the routes edited somewhat, in Amane's case it was quite heavily edited from the orignal due to some of the content it had, which happens way before any of the h-stuff starts in her route. Its in the part when she was talking about the past which takes up most of her route.
blueReply
Maybe he's someone who enjoys porn with his plot and is patient enough to wait for it. Don't be such a smarmy cunt.
SketchycrowReply
Blue knows whats up
onenReply
Yeah I'm definitely not playing through a 70 hour game twice just to see the H-scenes in context, and out of context, what's even the point?

Two months is nothing. Hell, with the gaming backlog I'm looking at, I'll be lucky if I even get to it in six.
ScyReply
Yeah, I am waiting for the 18+ version myself, I'd rather play the game as its intended. The first versions of this game were 18+ so it was intended to have the hentai content from the start, it wasn't added later or anything of the sort. Not to mention all ages vn's on steam often have stuff censored or cut from it. The first Grisaia vn comes to mind, where amane's route was apparently quite changed compared to the orignal. The h-stuff was fine in the 18+ patch but what changed, was when she was talking about her past, some of the events during that part are diffrent in the steam all ages version. Sometimes in big ways from what i've heard.

Its even more important to play the game in its intended form if this VN is as great as everyone seems to say it is.

@Leonhart

So you want to enjoy the censored and cropped version? The CGs are cropped, but did you even noticed that?
LeonhartReply
Of course I noticed the CGs are like 10% off the edges cropped. But that's the price you have to play for 16:9, instead of the square screen 4:3. And for full HD screens, I can say it looks very 'up-to-date'.

And make no mistake, the gore is there in it's 100% glory, they made sure to do so with this version, even if the bad taste 18+ stuff is not.
ValerianHDReply
so gore is good but 18+ stuff is bad? nice hypocrisy
LeonhartReply
Not really, more like it completely ruins the atmosphere. The porn was there in the first place only for sales. That is why, even the JP version of ~Amantes Amentes~ had it's porn removed after sales were not a problem
ScyReply
Sounds like typical american things, Blood and gore is A-OK even very viseral/detailed blood and gore is A-OK but show a tit, or something and OH NO we can't show that. The USA really has its priorities on what to censor all screwed up IMO.
beautiful black womanReply
Same with most video games, gore and blood is edgy but as soon as they put sexuality the purists will go crazy. Adults having sex is very common, maybe that doesn't apply to some people commenting here though.
ScyReply
Thats typical americans, Blood and excessive gore is A-OK but once a tit gets shown? OH NOE gotta stop and censor that asap! Happened in 7 days to die they put in a zombie stripper that has her tits there, and there was a big stink about it, The devs pretty much ignored em though (good for them). But the main person was complaining because her nephew or son plays it and hes like 14 or so. Its like.. Ok, you let a underage kid play a game with excessive blood and gore, and your fine with it, but second ONE zombiegirl shows a tit, you freak out?. The game is Rated M for a reason.

USA people tend to have some of the most fubared morals I've seen when it comes to nudity. Japan does it right imo, they censor excessive gore in stuff, not as bad as other places, but they leave nudity alone since its the human body.

They do need to revoke that law thou to censor gentalia in their porn movies though.
SinnerGReply
So, because someone wants the full version instead of the cut version, they're simple-minded? Good to know. I'm sure your backhanded comment was in no way related to the fact that you're stuck up, condescending and clearly have too high an opinion of yourself.
gaplessReply
"unfit"? To play a freaking game? And not just any game but an all-ages that was not originally released in this manner in the first place the Japanese received? What are you 16? Stupid ass comment.
erysReply
"muh censoring is good"
How about you go fuck yourself?
MattReply
The very fact it's a 70hr game and you'll probably only ever read it once makes even more since to wait for the complete version tbh.
beautiful black womanReply
y dont yall enjoy all ages games? r u fucking racis or somethng? omg dis is why i hate u people
gaplessReply
sis, what the hell you talkin bout? Be racist on a game? Come on! You do ur thang and we who want the non butchered version will wait for that.
beautiful black womanReply
eyo homie you just got pranked
GodSlayer9029Reply
Been waiting for this for like ever but I also want to wait for the 18+.
InfernoplexReply
Yes, this is the Steam's version, the one with H-scenes comes in two months from now (if there's no delays) ... But even without H-scenes, this is a really amazing VN :D
YsReply
It was amazing, but well some scene doesn't really makes senses in the all age version... they give you hints about what they did but in the end just skip some part.
HuckleMyBerriesReply
on vndb the tags say that it has very low sexual content so i'm assuming that its kind of just thrown in there just or the sake of having one like most other VN's with the same tag. Nothing much to look forward to really
FirstReply
I guess?
"Scenes of explicit violence that were altered in the original Japanese version of ~Amantes amentes~ will be fully uncensored. Such CGs will appear as the creators originally intended them."
GapReply
I dont see why would wait for the 18+ patch to be honest, There are only 3 H-scenes scenes missing and they aren't that important anyway.
meh...........Reply
Because I still have to finish reading Majikoi S and Mandatory Happiness. And by that time the 18+ patch should come out.

After the whole ordeal with If my heart had wings I don't trust non uncensored steam releases.
gaplessReply
Stupid comment. Why do you give a damn about others like myself waiting in the first place? Get over yourself.
GapReply
ur retarded
HuckleMyBerriesReply
HA HA FIRST. And thanks! If this thing has unlockable choices then is there a lot of them throughout? Are the routes a set order?
HuckleMyBerriesReply
