'''''Bliss Stage:
The story expands on the events and characters from the one-shot, Final Act, published in the first edition of [[Bliss Stage]]. It follows the adventures of [[Hot-Blooded|Josh Preston,]] the newest pilot of [[La Résistance|The Treasure Island Resistance]] and son of it's [[Magnificent Bastard]] Commander, Jim Preston. They are fighting a losing battle again an [[Alien Invasion]] by the Nightmares, a race of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] from a dimension adjacent to our dreams.
His weapon? The [[Humongous Mecha|ANIMa]], a [[Applied Phlebotinum|reverse-engineered alien device]] that creates a psychic manifestation of his [[Level Up At Intimacy 5|intimate relationships]]. But time is running out for him... Bliss happens, and if he drags his feet too long, or [[You Lose At Zero Trust|acts like a]] [[Jerkass]], he is going to either [[Your Head Asplode|die messily]] or [[Heroic BSOD|fall to the Bliss]].
The visual novel had no significant updates since 2014, to the point of the person responsible for the [https://web.archive.org/web/20170423083139/http://blissstagevn.tumblr.com/ official] [[Tumblr]] not working with them anymore. Some backers have accused the project of being [[Vaporware]].

* [[Author Appeal]]: If a certain writer is in charge of a given character's dialog, this is probably part of the reason.
** Not to mention the character designer openly admits to a fetish for scars.
* [[Discretion Shot]]: This game is probably going to be [[Rated "M" for Money|the equivalent of an ESRB M rating]]. Including [[Hentai|explicit]] [[Optional Sexual Encounter|Optional Sexual Encounters]] is probably, [[Only Fatal to Adults|given the age of the survivors of the Bliss,]] a very good way to wind up in a hostile court.
* [[Dating Sim]]: The [[Breather Level|Interludes.]]

** Anna Lin demonstrates this with the [[Sniper Duel|Sunshooter]] and the [[Power of the Void|Singular Void]] in a cutscene before the first mission. And yes, the [[Broken Bird|Void]] is from a relationship manifesting as a [[Black Hole]] [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|where her ANIMa's heart should be.]]
* [[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]: Based as it is on the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Translation Convention]]: Everything Joshua understands is 'printed' in English, but the voice actors will actually speak it in the language it's intended to be. Joshua knows Spanish at the start of the game and picks up some other languages.
