  • Summary: What's better than a sensual summer retreat in the South of Italy? Join Claudio, Andrea, and Mida in their travels as they try to recover from the collective trauma of the 2020 pandemic.

    What's better than a sensual summer retreat in the South of Italy? Join Claudio, Andrea, and Mida in their travels as they try to recover from the collective trauma of the 2020 pandemic.

    Three young men in their early 20s reconnect after two years of forced isolation, hoping to rekindle their friendship; an exceptional bond that made the trio truly special! A mythological force well beyond the sum of its parts! Or so they think...

    As you pick their activities for the day, you'll discover their darkest fears, their obsessions, and, as the reality of their failed expectations become apparent, their thirst for revenge and retribution.

    A lazy afternoon by the pool, a lustful night at the club, or even a morbid visit to the local cemetery: you'll decide how to spend this summer vacation, but wherever you go, something or someone will be waiting, offering an additional, forbidden trip through the arcane inner spaces of conscience.

    Mediterranea Inferno is an excellent contemporary visual novel that will connect to you even through its eccentricities. A gorgeous presentation along with a mash of personal struggle grounded in Italian culture and LGBT-positive themes.

    Lorenzo Redaelli hits a very high bar with Mediterranea Inferno, especially in terms of what can be achieved with a visual novel.

    Mediterranea Inferno offers us a narrative experience with a low interaction level but with an extremely interesting and meaningful story, enriched by an evocative artistic compartment. It is not for everyone due to both its classic visual novel structure and its themes, but if you have the right sensibility for this type of work, you cannot miss this fascinating contemporary novel.

    Mediterranea Inferno isn’t meant to be a happy story with a fairytale ending. It’s a raw tale that’s honest, filled with a bunch of emotion and uneasiness. Some might be turned away by the LGBTQ+ theme, but it was certainly one of the more memorable and unique visual novels I’ve ever experienced and I’m glad to have gone on vacation with the trio of friends, even if the ending(s) weren’t what I initially expected.
