Best scenario ever.
Gatsu
At first, it looks like a very well made nukige. It's so much more, and more AND EVEN MORE. Seriously, the scenario, especially the second part is awesome. When you finally think you get a grasp on the situation you soon realize, you're not even close, and yet you gathered a new detail. As said by someone else it is really recommended to follow this order if you don't want to discover too much too soon : Rika, Natsuki (if you feel like it, you won't discover too much by ending the game with those routes), Rinne, Nemu, Kanae (don't miss all the different endings for Kanae's route).

honest opinion
Deathgaze
i have seen all these 5 stars reviews but i don't see anyone talking about the flaws it has so here is my non bias review that will hopefully help people on the fence to get the game.~~~SEX~~~first anyone that has heard about euphoria knows it has fetishes and it supposed to be hardcore but honestly is not that bad like everyone makes it look like. The game has around 3 scat scenes (poop) so if you are not into that you wont have to suffer too much.the VN divides its fetishes in 5 ways, what i mean is at the beginning you choose who to rape so the scenes with fetishes are divided by heroines (5) so you will only see some scenes if you choose certain girls, you don't have to worry about watching disturbing stuff all the time that's pretty much the first arc of the VN.The second arc will reveal some of the story and will have vanilla sex so if you were scared about not enjoying the game because of it being "hardcore" you don't have to worry about it.~~~STORY~~~~While playing the game you will be confused all the time (that's on purpose) each ending will not talk about whats really going on until you decide to play the true ending however that doesn't mean you will waste your time if you decide to play the other routes since you will learn the backstory of each character by doing so.Mangagamer said that the correct way to play the game is using the following order "Rika, Aoi, Rinne, Nemu and Kanae"i personally have to say that only 3 routes are important and 2 are not, this is my recommendation "Rinne, Nemu and Kanae after thinking too much about it the other two routes don't offer enough info to be considered important into the true ending. That doesn't mean the routes are bad or not worth the time however when it comes to unveiling the true story these routes are meaningless but are good fap material if you want to clear them.The reason i'm recommending the 3 important routes first vs all 5 is because repeating the first arc 5 times will get to you and will start to feel like a chore then again you might enjoy all the sex scenes and fetishes being showed but it still feels like the first arc drags on too long to be replayed five times.~~~GORE AND DISTURBING IMAGES~~~When it comes to gore the game doesn't have too much of it, don't get me wrong there are torture scenes but not blood and when there is blood is not as much so don't worry about having to look away.as for disturbing images there are a few wtf worthy moment mostly towards true end and well there is one particular ending named (at least in the guide i followed) brute/devil ending that will disturb you is some ways...... well i rather not talk about it because i want it to be a surprise so if you want some of that weird stuff get this ending or don't HAHAHAHAH!~~~MUSIC~~~There is not too much to say about it other than phenomenal! ~~~FINAL VERDICT~~~I can't give this game a 5 because of the true ending once you reach it you will understand, that being said it has an interesting story, the music is awesome and the art is gorgeous.One last warning i would recommend this game to someone curious about some of these fetishes otherwise "regular people" will not find it as attractive so hopefully i persuaded someone to reconsider getting the game.i would recommend watching the hentai version of the game but only episode 5 after doing the true ending since the hentai version added something the true ending is missing in the VN so watch the last 6 minutes of the episode if i remember correctly, you will feel better i promise i'm sure the team knew something was missing on the VN so they redeemed themselves with the hentai version.

Just Do It...
Brock420
Just get this game, there is a reason it has a flawless 5 star rating. I am not one to shy away from the extreme stuff like rape, scat and gore, but I was pretty skeptical looking at this because it they seemed pretty much like the main focus of the game and I didn't feel like spending $45 on a messed up game.(I also watched a couple hentai episodes and wasn't very pleased)Alas, in the end the flawless reviews and my curiosity got the better of me and I purchased it and never looked back. And I am damn happy I did. Is it messed up? Yes. Creepy? Yes. Tragic? Yes. Does it mess with your head? Yes. I was questioning everything that was happening and the way it all came together was, well... euphoric.If scat and gore isn't your thing, there are options to turn them off. If rape isn't your thing, good news, not all the X-scenes feature rape and you can speed through ones you don't want to see.The way the story builds is simply mind blowing, following the route for the best story (recommended by the writers) is Rika, Natsuki, Rinne, Nemu, then Kanae. Follow that and you will not be dissapointed as some routes cross paths later on and certain things are discovered about certain characters.TL;DR - Great story, Shed many tears, Get it, Worth it.

Stupid but Great
aika092
I'm not sure I agree with others who seem to be claiming this is the best storyline ever written in an adult VN. Yes it's good, but let's not get carried away. I'm not saying you shouldn't get this game, because you should, especially if you like extreme stuff, I'm just saying it's no Code Geass. Because while it is entertaining, and there are some cool twists, I'm very hesitant to call the storyline smart. I can't really go into detail without giving away spoilers, but in general a SMART storyline gives you a chance to guess the ending, and any twists along the way, before you reach it. Now there is one very cool twist which they do pretty well, in my opinion, and I guess lots of people would call it the main or at least most important one, but this barely makes up for all the other explanations for everything they give towards the end, of which there was absolutely no possibility of working out or even many hints and foreshadowing to notice the second time you play it.Now I've been overly negative there with my main criticism so let me back up a little bit. This is the best adult VN I've ever played. Easily. Let's go into the usual categories...==Story & Writing: (8/10)==This story is really good, it's engaging and you want to understand everything that's going on, which makes you keep going. The final explanation is interesting and logical. Not smart, realistic (even if you assume the technology is possible) or guessable, but logical. The characters are all caricatures and one dimensional but still lovable and you're invested in at least some of them. 8 out of 10 is a really good score for an adult VN, because let's be honest it's not the main reason you're here, if it was you'd be reading Tolkein or Shakespeare or whatever you're into.In classic Japanese fashion, the girls all commentate what's happening to them in high pitched voices during the H-scenes. Even the shy ones, and even when they're supposed to be experiencing something for the first time. I understand this is because it's a story and this helps immerse the player in the experience, but it's all the same and really tires me out when every single scene happens this way. Personally I think the shy people should stay shy and quiet even during sex.==Translation: (10/10)==Translation is perfect. Enough said.==Music: (9/10)==Music that exists is great but for such a long game it could have had a little more variety.=Graphics: (7/10)==I'm not sure what you're expecting me to be able to tell you here, look at the preview art and as long as you like the style, you'll like the game. In terms of H-scenes, they have sufficient images for each scene but no animation or anything. Backgrounds are extremely repetitive, partly because so many rooms in the story are the same, i.e. four white walls.==Sex: (10/10)==Obviously this is personal opinion but they really push the boat out here and have a great mix of consensual and non-consensual scenes. If you don't like non-consensual stuff, this game is not for you.==Overall: (4.5/5)==If you can afford to, buy this game. It's one of a kind and should go down in history as one of the greats. It is a masterpiece but it's still an H-game, not an Oscar winning movie.

Not What it Seems
Sonjay
After years of playing BL games, I finally wanted to switch things up by playing a hentai game and decided to give euphoria a try. I have known about this game forever,and after learning about what's in it, and thought that I would never touch it. But low and behold, I caved in. It's true that there are brutal and disgusting sex scenes, and plenty of fetishes, but to be honest it's one of the reasons I've come to love this game. The only thing now is that I may never play a visual novel as brutal and disturbing. However despite the sex scenes, the story is what puts it all together. Just when I think one thing is going to happen, something else happens. Definitely had me on the edge of my seat, even though the true ending ended on a semisweet note. The music is just amazing, and it almost feels like I've heard it before, especially the main theme that plays on the menu. The art is very well done as well.
