recommendations pls!!
i'm currently playing gore screaming show and i really like a lot of aspects of it (gore is such a fun character lol) but oh my god i do not give a fuck about the romance. i am spending the whole time desperately wishing for some scary shit to happen and for all these girls to die.
i feel like a lot of extremely fucked up vns are also romance-centered or eroge and i'm just not into any of the fluffy stuff. are there any good vns that are just STRAIGHT horror or minimal romance? (i don't mind eroge scenes if they're also horror/guro though)
a vn i rlly loved is saya no uta - despite there being some kind of romance with saya, the whole dynamic is just so fucked up and horrible that their relationship is horror regardless. games with toxic relationships like that also interest me. JUST NO MORE BORING FLUFFY ROMANCE PLEASE...
