Togainu no Chi (PC) Hot

I have played around 20 different BL games but this is still my absolute favourite, for the artwork, gritty, urban atmosphere, industrial soundtrack (I love the ending “Still” sung in English by Itou Kanako. Her accent sucks so bad that I actually wondered what language the song was in but the lyrics make me cry ;_: The lyrics fit the game perfectly) and the smex lol! Warning, this game is a bit gorey and not for people who dun like bdsm like I do Woot!

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo after WWIII. Akira, an orphaned young man who has made a name for himself in Blaster (a fighting tournament where killing is not allowed) is accused of a murder he did not commit and sent to jail. The authorities make a deal with him to set him free if he would go to Toshima (a particularly lawless area ruled by a mysterious figure called Irure) and participate in a fight to the death tournament called Igura. Not gonna reveal the whole plot coz it’ll take me all day.

The SF storyline is rather weak and as some people have pointed out, full of inconsistencies and anyway I used the auto button throughout lol Would make a great OAV though! Also, if you look at the nitrochiral website, they’re selling Akira’s jacket and Rin’s boots and so on in both girl and guy versions! I want Akira’s jacket for cosplay lol!

Anyway, other characters:

Keisuke: Akira’s childhood buddy who grew up in the same orphanage and looks up to Akira. Follows Akira to Toshima without his permission. My favourite pairing because of the whole osanajimi factor. It's obvious that Keisuke has been waiting to get into Akira's pants for the longest time and I enjoyed their happy ending.

And because I'm twisty, I enjoyed the crazed madman rape/screwdriver bit plus the disembowelment ending. Love sweltering under the guise of friendship gone wrong...Keisuke is one of the subjects in the scientific experiment to create the ultimate warrior like Akira and nano.
---

Shiki: Shiki is so hot! I love those red eyes and black leather and of course the katana he’s always polishing, even after sex lol. He is the strongest fighter in Igura and has a bone to pick with nano due to past issues. Shiki falls in love with Akira because he is the only one who looks into his ruby eyes without being afraid.

Yay, it’s so sexy to scoop up your victim, take him home to your den and pierce his belly button without his permission so that you can prove your ownership lol One of my fav pairings. Drools…if only I can meet someone like Shiki

Rin: A cute, helpful girly young man Akira and Keisuke bumps into in Toshima who shows them around. Has a hobby of taking photos of corpses. However, he’s a strong fighter despite being more feminine than I am.

Motomi: a oyaji reporter who hangs around Toshima. Not into stubbly middle-aged men sorry…

Arbitro: Works for Irure, referee of Igura and drug syndicate kingpin and wears a mask 24 hrs. He has gaudy tastes in clothes and décor and his hobby is enslaving pretty young men who have lost in Igura. His victims get to be tattooed, body-pierced, scarred and have their body parts removed and are subjected to extreme plastic surgery according to his depraved tastes. If he doesn’t keep them himself, he hands them out to Igura victors as prizes. (He does females only for special requests, sorry so us girls can’t apply.) His mansion is full of statues of nekkid young men like Michelangelo's David as well as a fake medieval dungeon.

Arbitro= sick individual with childhood issues. Apparently as a child, his parents had a hobby of confining pretty boys and abusing them as sex toys. He didn't get much parental attention so he decided that when he will grew up he would have pretty "dolls" of his own so that he would never be lonely again.
---

Dog: Arbitro’s favourite slave. He was a victim of parental abuse (sexual and otherwise) and left for dead. He was picked up by Arbitro so he is pathetically grateful and loyal when Arbitro gave him food etc. Conditioned to be a victim, he endures all the surgery Arbitro forces upon him which includes removal of his eyes, voicebox, and surgery to modify his nose to become super-sensitive. Not mention scars, piercings etc. Normally appears blindfolded and in hardcore bdsm leather bondage gear.

Nano: I like to call him Ipod! Mysterious figure who wanders around Toshima spouting philosophical nonsense.

---
Was in orphanage together with Akira and another victim of the scientific experiment though Akira has had his memories of their time together purged. The drug Lain is made from his blood and gives strength to Igura fighters. Akira’s blood is the antidote to Lain.
Gunzi: One of Arbitro’s executioners. Wild blond hair (dyed?), six-pack abs and wears a pink parka and has a lot of tribal tattoos. Sadistic and likes the taste of blood.

Kiriwar: The other executioner. Ex-soldier or something and an oyaji. Likes to eat human flesh.

I wish I can go back in time and play this game all over again! *sob* Anyone knows a bl game like this to rec pls pm me.

I have played several yaoi games but Togainu no Chi is definitely one of my most memorable and favorite picks. Other than being a yaoi game filled with beautiful bishounen boys and steamy sex scenes, the game is led by an enrapturing plot that makes you want continue playing. It's not one of those click *ow my wrist hurts* games where you are only compelled to continue the game in order to get the few sexy CG scenes. The characters have depth and interesting background stories that make you want to uncover more about them, the games BGM soundtrack is nice on the ears and fitting of the mood, the voice actors do a great job of portraying the characters, and the visuals are STUNNING!! Its an AMAZING game!

But despite all the greatness of this game, be forewarned... This is not some lovey-dovey BL game. Its quite dark and has quite a few gorey scenes. So if youre bothered by a bit of guro, be cautious when it comes to this game.

All in all, this is by far one of my favorite games and i HIGHLY recommend it!!!!! Nitro+Chiral really outdid themselves on this one! All thats left now is for it to get licensed in english....(at least firestorm and her team are working on a patch!)
