    I had to force myself to finish Yu-No. The content is deplorable but apparently it’s the one that forced the industry to recognize that visual novels can be more than just porn games.
    Don’t play Yu-No.
    If you do anyway, don’t play the original uncensored version. Apparently the relatively recent remake excises the more heinous stuff.

      I loved YU-NO except the porn/inappropriate content. I only wish the remastered Switch version included a censored version of the original PC98 release, because the remaster butchered the primary charm of the game: the art style and music. Its so unfortunate that I cannot recommend YUNO because of the extreme culture shock of some content. The story was revolutionary for the time it came out and is still quite unique, and the epilogue was like playing a whole second game.

      Fortunately those scenes don’t add anything important to the plot, so I just skipped right through them. I would imagine someone could modify it to remove it from the original, if that was true then I certainly would recommend that version.

      I think there was a PSVita port of the original but I dont know if it had certain content removed.

      But I do agree with you, I wish that stuff wasn’t in the game.

      I think the same about DESIRE and EVE Burst Error.
