That being said - Bible Black is a fascinating game for more reasons than its wild sex scenes. For 2000, this game pushed a lot of boundaries, and paved the way for franchises like Taimanin Asagi and Kangoku Senkan to up the ante in terms of bizarre sexual acts. As the game goes on, however, it's not uncommon to see wax play, watersports, inflation, enemas, Q-Tips in urethrae, and chest wounds (!) during its myriad sex scenes. Most of it's pretty at first - a blowjob here, a gangbang there. Being an eroge, Bible Black doesn't shy away from explicit depictions of sex, and revels in shocking the players with sexual acts that were, at the time, not super commonplace in mainstream hentai games.

Most endings of Bible Black involve the protagonist dying in increasingly graphic and gruesome ways - and almost always at the hands of women that he's wronged. This means that to see a relatively happy, normal resolution to the story, you have to watch Taki really get put through the wringer.
Those endings are some of the wildest and most memorable I've come across in all my years of gaming - and you have to get all of them to see the intended "true" ending. How the story plays out is ultimately up to the player, and which of the game's 12 endings they come to. Kitami wants the book and the powers within for nefarious purposes, and Taki doesn't know if he wants to help her, stop her, or do something else entirely. Soon, his newfound magic powers are noticed by villainous school nurse Reika Kitami, who was part of a dark coven twelve years prior. Magic contained within the book gives Taki the ability to essentially brainwash and bend anyone to his whim - at first, anyway. The remainder of Bible Black is a chilling, engrossing erotic thriller. Inside this strange tome are dark incantations, chants, and rituals, which Taki naturally decides to start messing around with. That all changes, however, when he finds a little black book in the basement of his high school. He's presented as a fairly docile and complacent character - unambitious and oblivious to the blatant romantic affection of his childhood friend, Imari. So, to that effect, I'd like to take a few moments in this spookiest of months to discuss Bible Black - a stellar little horror VN, and one of my all-time favorite games.īible Black follows Taki Minase, a thoroughly average student with an uninteresting life. To discuss smut games is discuss culture, and as a journalist, there should be no shame in doing that. they're all endemic of what year they came out in. Erotic games are products of their era - the tropes, the standards of beauty, the kinks on display.
As I wrote in an interview with Nutaku's Jay Acevedo earlier this year, "sex is seen as less acceptable than horrific violence, and regardless of the intent behind sexual content, it's construed as something worthy of mockery or derision."īut these games exist, and they're important. Most outlets don't care for the SEO hit discussing adult games takes, and most critics are too embarrassed to touch sexual content with a ten-foot pole. This article contains discussions of a video game intended for adults, as well as mentions of sexual assault.Įrotic gaming gets short shrift when it comes to critics.
