Great list.

Abyss -Murder Club- Kajiri Kamui Kagura Shingakkou -Noli me tangere-

See also my post in Dergonu's thread. If you loved Higurashi, check out Umineko, it's the same company. For other translated novels, check out: Saya no Uta Animamundi Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni Phenomeno 11eyes Corpse Party

The only translated visual novels on the list are Euphoria, and Beats Blade Haruka--both of which can be purchased from MangaGamer's site. Maggot Baits is currently being translated by MangaGamer aswell, however, I wouldn't expect it to be out until late 2018/early 2019. Note: This game doesn't go 10 minutes w/o a fucked up rape/sex scene. Shiniyuku Kimi is being fan-translated, started by Dergonu himself, I believe, but seems to be dead. For figuring out if something has been TLed, or is being TLed, I recommend using vndb.org. Just find the visual novel you're interested in and scroll down to the Releases section, and check if an English release is available. You can also click the release and it'll usually contain a link to the release itself, or the fan-TL thread.

Perhaps it'll keep be busy until I can afford a PS4 and get Dark Souls III.

Yeah, this game has been on my maybe pile for awhile, but the Cyclet name always tends to drive me away. Perhaps I'll play it after I get through my mass backlog of games. If you ever do, I'll make sure to check it out.

I didn't mean "fetish junk" in a derogatory way, I could have replaced 'junk' with 'stuff' and it would have held the same meaning (to me). Apologies for my poor word choice. I just had a difference sense of 'dark' when coming into this thread, I expected things from Nitro+, Black Cyc, etc. Wouldn't Tokage also be under nukige category, too? AFAIK Cyclet is Black Cyc's dark nukige division. I might need you to clear that up with me aswell. I'm not trying to bash your list, despite my blunt personality, and I appreciate you clearing things up.

Here's a quote from a mod on Reddit's /r/visualnovels

Yeah, that's the problem. The good story is underneath a bunch of very specific fetish junk which makes up the majority of the story. Also, how's Gore Screaming Show's pacing? I'm hesitant to jump into another long Black Cyc title after Extravaganza (though still only ~60% through the text (15/32 endings)) since the pacing reminds me of The Walking Dead television series, i.e. nothing interesting happens in between major events.

Cool, I'll add ChronoBox to my list. The rest of the novels appear to be more dark nukige, as opposed to having a dark story.
