![]() The sexual situations while pretty explicit as one might expect, are kept pretty moderate as far as Hentai games go, and for once they are kept in the context of the story, which is always cause for celebration. Fortunately they do, and are in fact amongst the very best ones to grace a game of this type, with beautifully haunting painted backgrounds and striking character art that keeps the tone of the game coupled with magnificent voice acting and music. These gory elements take me to the care and attention placed in the game's artwork, which would have understandably dulled such shocking moments had they not been up to the task. I won't say Divi Dead's storyline is coherent or what one would traditionally consider as engaging, but there's no denying it's one interesting piece of work and certainly more memorable than the half-assed excuses most western games slap into their game as a "story", specially once you consider the many effective twists the game takes into horror territory, which includes downright disturbing character development, haunting hallucinations, and bitchingly gory "fangoria moments" for shock effect. Since it's really all a big game of smoke and mirrors with the additional bonus of supernatural hauntings and dashes of insanity, the storyline is understandably complex and messes with your head considerably, and that's without adding the overcomplicated Japanese narrative which has turned such games like Silent Hill into a gigantic ".Uh?" as the poor gamer tries to gather the pieces of an inmense puzzle with missing information, plot holes, contradictory situations and general insanity. The game's intrincate story is it's strongest point, progressing by unveiling layer after layer of the apparent sanity and calm which surrounds the school, and revealing the many true natures (often pretty disturbing) of the large cast of characters that is composed of fellow students and teachers. Obviously as this is a horror game there's more than meets the eye in the school, and eventually you'll discover a plot rife with strange deaths, ghosts and other supernatural elements behind which lies a black magic cult which may or may not be connected to the school. Starring as Ranmaru, a highschool student who suffers from a strange disease that causes him to have hallucinatory seizures, you arrive at your uncle's prestigious private school as a transfer student. Unlike Bible Black however, which used those elements merely as a backdrop for an all-out sex-fest, Divi-Dead falls more in line with Suspiria and is a haunting horror thriller which just so happens to have hentai situations in it. ![]() Divi-Dead is a hentai horror adventure dealing with blackmagic in your typical Japanese high-school enviroment, obviously influenced by the horror masterpiece "Suspiria" by Dario Argento which has spawned many Japanese "homages" including other Hentai games like Bible Black (which is also available as a series of animé OVAs).
