As for the endings, after playing through I like to pretend there's one super hidden route where Oumi+Yoh+Kouji aren't killed+end up as Saya's kind but w/o the pain+their memory in tact because she was able to perfect that technique to that point using other random.

I was deeply disturbed by the game but not in the way that it intended.Before we go on, I’m going to give a general trigger warning for this whole article. Song of Saya is a visual novel that tackles a lot of taboo topics, but it does so poorly and tastelessly. This personal requirement is why I’d like to discuss Song of Saya. The trick is that certain subjects need to be handled in a more sensitive way. I’m very much of the mindset that, as long as you approach them from a certain angle, you can write or create a story about almost any kind of subject matter. I find it a fascinating subgenre of horror in that it’s always interesting to see how a creator might push and warp the boundaries of good taste.
Where other stories might cut away from some of the stuff that happens in WOOM, the book makes sure the audience is aware of every awful thing the characters do to themselves and each other. Even though the violence is relatively low in something like WOOM by Duncan Ralston, it absolutely is an extreme horror novella for just how deep into the twisted mindsets of its characters it gets—that and the extremely graphic self-harm scenes, which are written in an objective, unflinching way. Stories that fall under this category often push limits in one way or another, whether it’s through a ridiculous amount of gore or in how it approaches topics most people don’t talk about.
In a very Lovecraftian twist, the viewer is never made privy to exactly what these monsters look like. He’s become something of an outsider because he views everyone around him as monsters, and I mean that in the most literal way possible. This is literal, by the way one of the very first illustrations you see in the game is a twisted version of a street where everything is covered in gross-looking skin. He is the sole survivor of a car accident that claimed his parents’ lives, and now he’s viewing the world as something alien and disturbing, all fleshy surfaces, gross smells, and disturbing noises. Regardless, Song of Saya falls into the horror part of the genre, and it’s widely well regarded as a classic.The narrator in Song of Saya is Fuminori, and he’s fallen on hard times.
Song Of Saya Endings Cracked A While
Eventually, Saya kills one of the “monsters” that Fuminori sees, and together, they eat mysterious blobs from its corpse. Fuminori starts to crack despite Saya’s presence, and he becomes hostile towards his former friends and those around him. She lives with him and has sex with him almost every single night (and of course there are fully illustrated scenes for this that go on for way too long). Fuminori is slowly going insane with the world around him like this and would have cracked a while ago if it wasn’t for Saya.Saya is a disturbingly young-looking girl who appears as, well, normal to Fuminori.
There is no time given to showing him in a normal setting, as a normal person. It’s a fantastic premise for a horror story, but my really big issue with it is that we don’t see Fuminori before the accident. I find it interesting but flawed.
Saya will do anything to help Fuminori, and she’s obsessed with his sperm because, as it turns out, to the surprise of absolutely no one, she’s an alien who can alter peoples’ minds. But once Fuminori bites into the blob Saya gets from another “monster” (it’s pretty obviously human flesh), they both become complete psychopaths. You’ve been warned.Fuminori and Saya are the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively, for a good portion of the game’s run time. I’m about to go into some pretty awful stuff. The idea that anyone can be a monster is what makes stories like these horrific, and Song of Saya doesn’t necessarily put in the required work to make its endings feel impactful.So what’s the problem with Song of Saya? Why would I defend an author like Jack Ketchum, who has some of the most repulsive stories under the sun to his name, and claim that Song of Saya goes too far when he doesn’t? The answer lies in the execution of the story, and I’m going to once again emphasize that trigger warning I made earlier. I generally like the kind of horror stories where someone is falling off the deep end, but the key ingredient to them is making them feel like a relatable, likable protagonist so that the later plot developments stick the landing.
Can you see where I’m going with this? She is turned into a sex slave for the duo, and of course in the scene where her mind is altered, she’s actually just full on r*ped by Saya, complete with tentacles and illustrations depicting full penetration of an alien phallus.And the scene where she is assaulted and r*ped by Fuminori and Saya? It goes on for about fifteen minutes and also comes with its own sets of illustrations and sound effects to make sure that the viewer knows every single vile thing they do to her. She alters Yoh’s brain to become completely subservient and unable to fight back. And that sex drive rubs off on Fuminori in the most vile way possible.At one point, one of Fuminori’s friends named Yoh goes to his house to check on him, but she’s attacked by Saya in a scene that gives players the first glimpse of her alien form and nature. She is driven to reproduce, which explains her high sex drive.
The problem is that these previous scenes, where you are told everything that they do to their victim, did away with any sympathy I might have had up to that point. The thing is that the game’s endings try and turn them into sympathetic characters in that they were two lost souls who found each other in a twisted world. From a pure story perspective, it definitely made me realize that the two characters are the villains of this story. Once again, everything is shown, and it’s made all the more disgusting by Saya’s design, which is deliberately made to be childlike.I don’t even know where to begin with any of this.
It’s a legitimately upsetting revelation, and it comes at about the mid-way point. In the Jack Ketchum novel Stranglehold, there’s a plot twist where it turns out the protagonist’s sociopathic ex-husband has been anally r*ping their son. You will despise both of these characters by the end but not in the way the game intended.And here’s the thing: sexual violence is something that can be used in stories effectively, but it has to be portrayed with a delicate hand.
They see the aftermath and how it affects the victim, but Ketchum wisely realized that there’s no proper way to write a scene about that happening to a kid without coming across as a vile piece of garbage who fetishizes sexual violence towards kids. The son refuses to go to the bathroom, screaming that it hurts, and it’s there that the reader and the protagonist realize what was going on.The key to that plot development is that the viewer is never actually subjected to the abhorrent act itself. The way this revelation is handled, though, is pretty much as tastefully done as you can with subject matter like this.
Except, I can think of a million other ways you could have approached these scenes and not have them featured what appears to be a naked child holding down a fully grown woman while a fully grown man r*pes her. I’ve seen people online argue that this deliberate showing of their depravity is supposed to really make you hate them, that despite how far it goes, it all serves the story. Each r*pe scene goes on for several minutes, and the narration is written like an erotic scene. He knew exactly where it would stop being a disturbing story and start being a really messed up piece of disgusting pornography.Song of Saya, on the other hand, revels in these acts of sexual violence.
