A Boys Love Eroge by Spray (the developers of Gakuen Heaven), which roughly translates to "Brutal Glasses".

Saeki Katsuya is a hapless salaryman, whose life takes a turn for the better (or worse?) when he meets a mysterious man who offers him something that he promises will benefit him -- a pair of glasses. These aren't just any pair of ordinary glasses, of course. They turn the wearer into an extremely competent, confident businessman -- as well as a domineering, sexually aggressive brute.

The game is notable for allowing the player to either be dominant or submissive, a "kichiku meter" that gauges the player's acts of brutality, and Selfcest between the Katsuya and his "megane" self. Also has a sequel (Kichiku Megane R), manga versions, drama CDs and light novels.

Recommended if you're looking for a hardcore BDSM yaoi game.

Tropes used in Kichiku Megane (visual novel) include:

• All Just a Dream: The pomegranate dreams.
• Ascended Extra: Matsuura and Fujita became part of the cast in R with character designs and voice actors to boot. But Matsuura has already has his own design in the first game.
• Badass Longcoat/Badass Long Hair: Mr. R
• Bastard Boyfriend
• Berserk Button: Taichi in R. seeing Katsuya getting raped will likely have his hands covered with blood.
  • Megane!Katsuya also has one in R, specifically Midou's route.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Taichi, who would suspect that this nice college working student happens to be heir of a Yakuza clan?
• Blackmail
• Blonde Guys Are Evil: Megane and Mr. R
• Butt Monkey: Katsuya, pre-megane and his normal routes. He does get better in the normal routes but that depends on the choices that you make.
• Chekhov's Gunman: Sawamura. Though his name is not mentioned in the first game, he is referenced as the guy who betrayed Katsuya in the first game back when they were kids.
• Cherry Blossoms: In Kichiku Megane R. Also relevant to Katsuya's past.
• Cradling Your Kill: Katagiri to Megane!Katsuya in his bad ending
• A Day in the Limelight: The Drama CDs. And the last two chapters of the Megane!Katsuya and Midou pairing manga, including the novelised version of said pairing which is in Midou's POV.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Matsuura against Honda. Yeah, we get that he blames Honda for not letting the college volleyball team be in the national level because of a career change in business. But tying him up, pouring gasoline all over his body, threatening him to torch him up and even, stabbing him? Okay, this guy really has anger management issues.
• Dude in Distress: Katsuya, especially during Taichi's route in R.
• Evil Laugh: Megane! Katsuya, Midou and Sawamura
