This game is certainly interesting, and specially with all the controversial and problematic elements thrown around, its worthwhile to look at it and not just dismiss it. The main issue people have with this game is with how rape, gore and the sexualization of Saya are used, and I think a lot of the misunderstanding/labeling comes from how these are tropes commonly seen in these types of media. You often see animes/VN's that have lolis or are very sexual in their nature, thus people seeing these elements here, and reasonably so, assume that this game has no depth or uses these other than for a sick and twisted fantasy. and it goes without saying, that (atleast for me) this game could've used those elements in a better/more developed way, specially with how shocking and how lacking the reflection from certain scenes of rape and murder can be, it ends up being a tool that doesn't end compelling the story much further, and just kind of pushes us further into the climax, without any real sense of reasoning of why that happened. But I believe that is the same thing that makes this story interesting, it emphasizes the lack of morality and reasoning from Fuminori, and truly how deprived, blind and unforgiving he is in his situation. It shows how far he will go to experience "love" and warmth, where he doesn't question or feel uncomfortable with things that are clearly wrong, and just how deep he has fallen into his own hole. This story isn't a fetishization of Saya or Yoh. But much rather, conveys its message through shocking and grotesque elements. Now if these elements are used appropriately and properly is a whole different discussion. I recommend the game if you are comfortable seeing such things and are interested in a commentary about depravity, and are trying to understand how perspective shape peoples realities and actions regarding relationships, morality and reasoning. Have a great night folks!!

Overall Saya No Uta is like crack. It's definitely bad for you, it's hard to put down, and your friends and family will judge you for having experienced it. No one should read this novel but I recommend it. God help me.

I think the e girls with the emotional maturity of a 13 year old stuck on the idea that true love means giving up everything in the world for their mid a** very much misunderstood the story as a romance. Not a cute story, just a girl taking advantage of a mentally ill man. That said, thoroughly grossed out. Well done horror, with unsettling visuals and audio. Can't wait to rinse my eyes with bleach. Edit: If you have Ame or Saya in your profile picture, I am afraid of you.

this game ruined my life! i'm 39 years old, unemployed and spend most of my time playing video games, especially visual novels. one day i assumed my mother was not home and i was playing this game with my room unlocked. there was a particular scene where saya and fuminori did some nasty nsfw things to the girl that has a crush on fuminori. i was really enjoying it and really focused on the game, but i didnt notice my mother was taking the laundry in my room and cleaning my room because i was playing with headphones in! my mother was very shocked and told me i need to get mental help (and she refuses to pay for it!) or leave the house. getting a job is to pay for mental help is no option for me, so now she gave me a 2 week notice to leave the house!
