Religious imagery, elements of cosmic horror, body horror, madness, cannibalism, violence... tragedy. Every scene was eye candy. Everything about Sweet pool was perfect. I have never cried so hard at a BL game ever. 10/10. I highly recommend playing with the 18+ patch or playing the game directly from JAST (that's what I did; I came back here bc I wanted to perfect the game). This VN is almost unplayable censored here on Steam. The NSFW scenes are not only eye candy, but essential to the story. It also adds another layer of insanity and emotion to the game. I would do anything to experience this game for the first time again.

On my own personal journey to play through every single (current) nitro+chiral vn, sweet pool marks itself as the final entry. Sweet pool is a curious addition to this company’s library simply from how it plays in the exact opposite of its predecessors. The usual N+C formula I’ve grown accustomed to usually includes multiple bachelors, routes that will flesh out those characters (that tie them into the main story), and conclusive endings that vary in quality and length specific to the individual characters. “Sweet pool” takes this approach and flips it on its head. Instead the multiple bachelors are nothing more than an extension of the story and main love interest “Tetsuo”. This can be a hit or miss depending on your own personal preference, but regardless the change in structure can still be appreciated for attempting something new. I can’t say outside of this character/route change that I am a huge fan of sweet pool’s larger story. I found the parasite “omegaverse” esque flesh demons to be a bit much for my own personal tatse at times, sometimes even detracting from the scenes or character development entirely. Although, this is nothing more than a preference, and thankfully the physical violence and body gore is overall less show-y and in your face than in “togainu no chi” or “slow damage”. The other standout game elements to “sweet pool” includes the music and visuals. The art style is noticeably different than N+C’s other works, but nothing to really comment on or critique. Albeit, some minor criticism I do have with the art includes a few sprites of the main character “Youji” that I found to look a bit off, but overall nothing too distracting. The UI is very unique compared to other N+C titles, but I can’t really decide if it’s something I found that added to the experience. The extras menu visually compliments the cultist elements and rundown/grotesque vibe of the game, but the other menu’s can feel sort of bare in comparison. The OST this time felt very haphazard. Coming off of a playthrough of “lamento -beyond the void-“ left “sweet pool” feeling wholly inferior to that, instead only having a few standout tracks worth listening to on their own. Don’t get me wrong, I think the soundtrack can be very fitting for this game, but I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere close to being my favorite from this studio. Finally let’s finish this off with a look at the endings. I won’t be spoiling them here, but I think it’s still important to talk about them in a broad sense. Three out of six of the endings are variations of more or less the same idea, and none of the endings are considered to be happy by any stretch of the imagination. This idea furthers the intent of “sweet pool” being an alluring albeit tragic romance tale. The endings can be bittersweet to watch and I think it ties into the larger themes of the story itself. There is beauty in watching Youji wish for nothing more than the happiness for Tetsuo, and clinging onto his humanity when given no other option. The ending that includes the monologue of Youji wishing to be together with Tetsuo for all of eternity, despite their circumstances, was my personal favorite to witness. Overall I’m left conflicted on where to put “sweet pool” at on some arbitrary ranking or tier list. It suffers from a shorter run time than other N+C games, so I can’t say I’d necessarily recommend it at full price (at least compared to DMMD & TNC price points), but on a sale I think it’s extremely great at what it seeks out to do, despite its minor flaws.
