I would be inclined to be more charitable to it as there is obvious effort on display in almost every area that isn't its theming (even if I disagree with a lot of its artistic choices) but the way they bungled the polygamy route has corrupted my immortal soul.
The Devil can have this one.
#Aoitori
The more I type my thoughts on this digital canvas, the more I come to realize how insanely put together #Aoitori is. They had to go out of their way to *disinfect* this game of everything that made it alluring in the first place, its characters deprived of meat, its themes defanged, my time wasted.
Akari was almost a well-written character. Her tragedy is steeped in low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, body shame, depression and social constraints manifesting within her as a lust for the taboo... which exists, still, somehow, entirely divorced from her ardent Christian beliefs.
#Aoitori
Akari (an expression of laughing malice): "It was sex. Sex I tell you!"
"S. E. X. SEX!"
It almost picks itself up in the final, true route wherein the girl with the inverted, lactating nipples (remember her?) takes over the narrative and becomes the main heroine, but it's not enough to salvage the experience.
#Aoitori
It's a baffling waste of potential from situations so easy to nail they practically write themselves!
In short, #Aoitori has inspired ideas and a basic outline of a story from which it chooses to actively disengage at each and every turn, making for relatively dull reading material.
If you could transfer all the H-scenes in a completely different, non-Christian environment and nothing in their execution would meaningfully change then what are we even doing here!? It's simple psychology, the more an activity is considered a social taboo, the more it's hot!
#Aoitori
If all is permitted and nothing is forbidden, if copulation is something that just casually happens, if a priest can just *comfort* hundreds of girls with no friction, moral or otherwise, from anyone involved, then it's missing the point of why these scenarios are considered arousing!
#Aoitori
Religion is mere window-dressing to a visual novel that wants to borrow some of its *cool lore* but it's utterly disinterested in exploring how it affects people. Which, ironically, makes for a boring porn as well as a boring plot built around sexual kinks.
#Aoitori
The Missionary academy in which the game takes place (a historically, ultra-repressive environment) is somehow disconnected to the central theme of people feeling trapped by their social circumstances... because the school is actually totally nice and progressive.
Then what's the point!?
#Aoitori
Christianity and Faith play little to no role in the story despite being closely related to the characters' lives and setting. I keep forgetting the fact Ritsu is a PRIEST who also happens to be the Literal Antichrist because it has no correlation whatsoever to his personal conflict!
HOW!?
#Aoitori
It proceeds to hand-wave its many hooks in favour of a safe, cliché "Power of Love defeats Cancer" storyline that winds up retconning the SA trauma into a consensual act - which is utterly gross and messed up beyond the pale.
Every facet of this VN is riddled with unfulfilled promises.
#Aoitori
CG of teacher Risa alluringly hovering above you. She has you pinned on the ground.
Flashback of the same character, in sepia tone, as a schoolgirl in the same pose but sadder.
There are several elements at play here, implicit and explicit power dynamics, unresolved trauma, complex feelings towards former abusers and forbidden relationships swirling together in a vortex of irrational eroticism... and the game does Absolutely Nothing with any of it!
#Aoitori
The polycule ending with Risa the hot teacher (on the left) and Mikako the genius girl (on the right) kissing a flushed Ritsu on either side of his face.
Risa and Mikako on screen. Mikako: "What I mean is, there's no point trying to force Rikkun and I together when all three of us can be together." (they had a threesome afterwards)
Here's a specific example: one of the routes will have our Man of the Cloth/Saviour of Demonkind enter a polycule with his teacher and her younger sister. The teacher is the woman that sexually assaulted him as a child, her sister is his sex friend who's also incestuously into her sibling.
#Aoitori
If I had to pinpoint the biggest issue with this game, next to its annoyingly opulent H-scenes and writing so heavy-handed any attempt at foreshadowing might as well count as a spoiler, it would be its tragic lack of commitment to its own premise, conceit and setting.
#Aoitori
Text: "This is sex with 100% orgasm uptime."
Nothing I could ever write will be even remotely as funny as the sexual intercourse play-by-play commentary in #Aoitori.
Text: "Errm, well, you're probably wondering why I woke you up with a blowjob this morning."
When the protagonist's voice over recounts the plot of the film after the in media res start.
#Aoitori
Text: "My dick is kissing at the entrance to her descended womb."
Seal, the singer, better known for "A Kiss from a Rose."
You can hear it in your head, can't you?
#Aoitori
Text: "My mental state is currently 20% fear, 30% inquisitive--and 50% immoral excitement."
Me, as I scroll down my heavily curated Bluesky following page.
#Aoitori
Text: "I'm thrusting so hard that her nipples leave behind afterimages."
Truly, the "Dragon Ball Z" of Sex.
#Aoitori
Generally speaking, the art style is best appreciated in the sprite work and the 3D rendered backgrounds that give it an almost "Myst" like quality, more so than the CG's.
In my personal opinion, at least.
#Aoitori
On the other hand, there is this weirdly realistic sheen to the exposed skin that contrasts with the much more *anime* aesthetics of the faces and articles of clothing within the same illustrations, which I find distracting.
In short, the H-scenes are both a slog and unappealing.
#Aoitori
On the subject of the H-scenes and, consequently, the game's art direction, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, this visual novel simply adores breasts and vaginas. The way these erogenous parts are drawn is exceptionally detailed and diversified for each girl. No labia looks the same.
#Aoitori
"Hyaaaaaaaahhh! You're even further in! This is amazing! Aaah!"
Goku going EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!
We can go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!
#Aoitori
"I'd say the blood is menstrual."
Great things are going down in the Vampire Girlfriend route!
#Aoitori
Mary: "So when there are no students at an academy, it isn't an academy anymore. It turns into something else."
The Backrooms!
#Aoitori
Group shot of the main cast hanging in the lounge with the fireplace in the background. From left to right: Akari, the girl who enjoys *falling*, wearing a maid outfit (she's not a maid). Mary the formerly suicidal vampire girl who loves life more than anyone else, sipping a tea while comfortably sitting on a chair. Next to her, Risa, the substitute history teacher who did a BAD THING to the protagonist when he was a child. On the other side of the room, the demon-blooded incest Antichrist twins, Sayo and Ritsu... Ritsu: "We're all a bunch of weirdoes."
A splendid summary of the #Aoitori experience if I ever read one.
Mikako (to the right) talking to Sayo (to the left): "An older sister who's close to my age. Haven't had sex with her though."
Sayo: "You should try it."
Mikako: "Yeah, it's on my list."
The Freakazoid spit-take scene.
You see, the context behind this conversation is that Mikako instantly guesses Sayo has had steamy incest sex with her long lost twin brother and neither of the two is capable of feeling shame. I hope that helps.
#Aoitori
CG showcasing Chibi versions of the characters Akari, Sayo and Mary (from left to right). Mary retorts that Sayo enjoys "To destroy and be destroyed."
Diversity win! Sayo is canonically confirmed to be a switch.
#Aoitori
Mary Harker: "Ritsu-kun, were you so happy to meet your sister that you slept together?"
Ritsu: "O-oh... yeah... I guess."
That's our boy!
*cheery music plays*
