Psycho Horror Romance Game Kesshitsu Shitsuren Re-Releases Trial Version
The trial version makes the game's core design explicit: the disabled protagonist's exploration is tied to communication with the limb cutter who holds them captive, and reaching a dead end is the only way to obtain the keywords that explore his character.

Indie developer Zakurosuke is re-releasing the full-voice trial version of the psycho horror romance adventure Kesshitsu Shitsuren until August 20, 2026, alongside the game's participation in Steam's East Asia Indie Game Celebration sale. The trial covers the Day 1 episode, the start of the captivity life, with seven keywords and eight dead ends. The full game features dozens of dead ends and multiple endings.
Kesshitsu Shitsuren is built around a captivity relationship: the limb cutter severed the protagonist's limbs, calls them by a stranger's name, and treats them as a lover while providing devoted care. The protagonist cannot walk and cannot manage daily life without him. Point-and-click exploration is rendered in 360-degree panoramas and Live2D, but the protagonist cannot even take a book from the shelf and must ask the limb cutter for help, so investigation itself becomes communication.
The design does not reward simple obedience. The protagonist can resist, confront him with logic, or hurl abuse, and the limb cutter, though he keeps providing care, may dispose of the protagonist if given a trigger. Each dead end grants a keyword that reveals more of the cutter's character.
