    20XX. Japan.

    To overcome the serious recession, the special administrative region Shinkoumi is developed; Japan's largest casino resort.

    In an unstable situation where we do not know tomorrow, people gathered in Shinkoumi, dreaming of getting rich, or relieving their depressed feelings. There were shadows of decadence, and crimes were frequent.

    Slow Damage is a game that I would absolutely not recommend for the faint of heart or if you’re not a fan of extreme violence and blood. Still, I can definitely see just how it shines as one of Nitro Plus’ best visual novels in the BL genre, even as someone who isn’t very familiar with it. The great translation combined with a story that packs a solid thematic punch and, quite frankly, a shockingly good soundtrack all made the wait totally worth it, even though I had my gripes with the typography and UI. I truly cannot truly describe the “feeling” I had when playing it, but if I had to pick two words for it, I would say it was “truly euphoric.”
