So, in the world of sweet pool, there’s this weird pseudo-Christian cult called The Liberated that worships these things that look like piles of wriggling raw meat or entrails–in short, they’re gross. Crack open your Bibles, bitches, because we have to visit the Old Testament God to understand this one. 4shiki, “ BL Game Review – Sweet Pool”īut what the fuck does it mean and how did we get here? Even though you learn the bulk of this info by playing through Tetsuo’s routes, we’ll work backwards and set the scene for this universe from the get-go just to make things a little easier on ourselves. To put it accurately yet crudely, our protagonist Sakiyama Youji, starts shitting meat monsters from his bum bum one day. To spare you an intro that’s too long, let’s just ~*dive*~ right in, shall we? Plot Summary I did deliberately steal some of her diction, however. I’m going to take things a step further and bump it up to required reading, since I have no idea how much I’m going to end up ripping her off just by accident after years of living and breathing her review. It turned out to be serendipitous that I took so long, though, since I trolled the JUST USA website for shits and gigs immediately after finishing the game and discovered that Togainu no Chi was released on February 25th! Yes, I already bought it, so my blog has more BL game content on the horizon.īefore posting this review, I recommended that everyone give 4shiki’s old review a look. If I didn’t have such a longstanding history with this story, I’m not sure I would have had the will to survive, so it’s good that the bulk of my trial and error happened this go around and not with a different game. The point being–part of the reason for the delay here was me being a huge fucking n00b to the format and not knowing wtf I was doing.

I swear to god if I have to hear Makoto say “Omega Meat Burger” one more fucking time, I’m going to lose it. Since my Quicksaves at one point also refused to load, I bet you can imagine the sheer number of hours I spent toiling away at this game. This is something I learned the hard way (even though I had a walkthrough up) by not saving during Makoto’s route and, tragically, by only making one save in another instance that got corrupted and was unusable.

So, this was my first time actually playing through a BL game and the first visual novel/dating sim that I’ve ever played in which saving at crucial decisions eliminates the need for you to re-do the first half of someone else’s route later.
