Looking for a VN where a bright story turns into a dark one

[Markan]

Grettings, like the tittle says, I'm looking for this kind of VN, a story that begins like a happy or comedy one but turns dark and serious later.

A few examples could be: Rewrite, Muv-Luv or Sorceress Alive.

 

It doesn't matter if it is untranslated.

That begin with a light tone and become troubled and somber after: 

Sakura, Sakimashita

For ones that begin with a lot of jokes but become serious and/or grim later:

Akagoei

Tiny Dungeon

Tsuisou no Augment

For ones with a serious action focus that is emphasized by the slice-of-life early on:

Hello, Lady

Electro-Arms

Tenshi no Hane

For end of the world that begins with laughter:

Soranica Ele

Sorry for the late response, in the end I started Tiny Dungeon, it looks like some kinda low quality game at first but it turned to be surprisingly good, a hidden gem indeed.

These are titles that come in my mind:

Sakura no Mori † Dreamers
Gore Screaming Show (I was exhausted reading the SoL part tho tbh before it gets serious)
Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi. (It's a huge spoiler to give context, but it's the title that I think deserves more exposure better than the one that is more popular)
