Going to try to keep this review spoiler free. This game is on the longer side and tbh that's great, the story is very entertaining and interesting, it keeps you intrigued and wanting to know more, so I pretty much devoured it. The biggest issue I have with it is that it's a wonky port of a Vita game and the keyboard shortcuts are not intuitive at all. The save game/story progression system is very different to what I'm used to in VNs, it features a flowchart that lets you see what you're missing and you can jump between chapters and pick the options you didn't the first time to get another branch. It features side chapters/mini-stories you unlock with points you get from a really crappy shooting minigame that I'd rather not exist at all in game because it doesn't add anything to it Save games don't mean much besides reminding you were you left off before closing the game for the day. The music is repetitive but there's enough variation to not get sick of it. The protagonist is most of the time dumb as hell but that comes with the genre, and the others toe on the line of being unlikeable or changing personalities completely at random. I fucking hate HATE Karasuba, worst character in the game and it pains me that it's voiced by a VA I really like (Tetsuya Kakihara) Avoid spoilers at all cost if you wanna play it!

omg. what the fuck/. kagiha's ending was INSANE. WHAT WAS THAT. WHO WROTE THAT???? DID THEY WANT TO SHATTER ME INTO A THOUSAND PIECES??? WHAT WAS THAT!!! i will never recover. i am so upset. man if you can get past the misogyny these endings will destroy you emotionally and steal your lunch money. it starts slow and it was hard to get into but yikes i dont remember the last time i was hurt this much. i might be a softie but OOF. OW. i will say, if you want to buy, definitely get on sale like i did. its hardly worth the full price.

This story is absolutely beautiful and has so much depth. *RAIN*

A game that combines Amnesia: Memories, Diabolik Lovers and Orange and ultimately is for fans of friendship-heavy stories that deal with grief as well as for fans who enjoy Goth-like vibes. This game lacks in romance but unlike 7’Scarlet, it doesn’t really raise expectations for larger-than-life love stories that are fated and make the love interests say “aishiteru” after a week or so (yes, that happens in 7S). At the end of several routes in PotBB, the characters are starting to date and are like “I don’t plan on leaving you in the future but let’s just see what happens”. I really appreciate this more level-headed, more realistic approach to romance. CWs (that I noticed): child death, grief, trauma, self-deprecation; sexual harassment by love interests ( Karasuba’s & Hikage’s route ), romance with child-coded/mentally-child characters ( Kagiha’s & Monshiro’s route ), nagging ( Hikage’s route ), undertones of abuse ( Karasuba’s & Hikage’s route ), depiction of & talk about suicide ( Hikage’s route ), conservative gender roles ( esp. Kagiha ending ), misgendering of POV character ( Karasuba’s route )

Wow. Albeit not without flaws, Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly may be in my top 3 games ever. I got and first played this game 5 months ago, played all but one ending in the span of a week, and then procrastinated finishing it because I didn't want it to end. I have since 100% it, and in the past 5 months I have continued thinking about it an embarrassing amount. This game has such rich and emotional storytelling that, it has, admittedly, made me both gnaw my arm and lie face down on the ground in response to many scenes and events, even long after first playing them. This is a must-play for all visual novel fans, in my opinion. If you're looking for a difficult game with complicated mechanics or a highly romance-focused otome, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a story about grief, guilt, and how to move on, please, please check this game out. My Pros: -Well designed timeline flowchart-- this is SO useful for getting the different endings, and makes understanding the flow of the game so much easier. POTBB has spoiled me for other multiple ending games with its ease of endings access. -Voice acted protag! Lots of visual novels leave this out and I was so excited to see that Beniyuri can actually speak-- brought me into the story a lot more -The art. I love so much about the art style: the backgrounds are gorgeous, the sprites are great (see con 1, however...), and the style of clothing is so unique and unmatched by any other visual novel. -The music is great! -The story. It's great. It's sad, it's inspiring, it's funny, all of it. -Guys I actually love the short stories. I think that they give great character and relationship building opportunities while keeping the flow of the main game smooth.Yes, you have to watch a certain amount to proceed, but it never felt like a chore to me, just a wonderful peek into the more mundane, human parts of an otherwise grand and philosophical game. My Cons: -Yeah, the anatomy is a bit wonky at times. However, it reminds me of 2000s anime which in turn makes it charming imo ^^ -Karasuba is rlly creepy at times!! You gotta put on your rose tinted glasses for his endings... -Sometimes a little misogynistic (never to the point where I quit, just enough for me to furrow my brow)
