A 1997 [[H Game]] by elf, the creators of [[Words Worth]].
Shuusaku Itou is a low-life criminal. He meets an elder having a lucky streak on the local pachinko parlour. While doing amicable small talk
Feeling the "special person" is Kato and that he is doomed to lose his job regardless, Shuusaku decides to hurry to the endgame of his plan that he was just slowly working until now: blackmailing as most as girls as possible (Ayaka included), to have sex with him.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
Of course, by the words flashing on the screen at the start of the game, you can easily deduce there is something more to this than just being a "stalking simulator".
The game was adapted in two OVA series, named ''Shusaku'' and
{{tropelist}}
* [[Animal Motifs]]: For Shuusaku is the fly. Flies are associated with annoyance and harassing, which certainly fit Shuusaku's behaviour towards his victims. They're also associated with persistence and force of will, which Shuusaku also have. {{Spoiler|But you will only discover what this persistence is only when the fourth wall is broken and is revealed Shuusaku has been living through those multiple playthroughs so, in a meta sense, he was getting better at stalking, harassing and blackmailing until he got Eri cornered}}.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Shuusaku often talks directly to the player.
* [[But Thou Must]]: Subverted. The very first choice has the options for you to tell Shuusaku to screw off and that you're gonna return the game to the store and buy a "pure love"(that is, a hentai VN whose main plot most of the time involves sweet romance between two people) game instead. Shuusaku at first will shrug off your choice, but if you keep pressing the same choice, he grows increasingly annoyed, insults you and the game automatically closes.
* [[Death Seeker]]: Shiho feels so overly violated she asks Shuusaku to kill her in some of her dialogue.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Shuusaku will not put more than two doses of aphrodisiacs on a girl's food because he's not a necrophiliac (apparently, in this setting aphrodisiacs may be lethal).
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Asami is hot-blooded and has red hair.
Line 28:
* [[Gameplay and Story Integration]]: Your number of saves is restricted to the number of diaries Shuusaku keeps, initially only one.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Chiaki's hairstyle can be defined as mega twin drill pigtails.
* [[Golden Ending]]: {{Spoiler|Played with. In the best possible ending, you corner Eri on the manager's
* [[Halfway Plot Switch]]: {{Spoiler|The game starts as crime story, only to progress into a horror/romance one in the best ending. Of course, if you don't achieve that ending it stays a crime story}}.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: A very creepy one. Before the game properly starts, the player must write his name. The sound of falling drops can be heard, and Shuusaku is seen ''spying'' on you through a hole on the wall.
* [[Hot Teacher]]: Ayaka Minami is pretty and curvaceous. This also makes her one of Shuusaku's targets.
* [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others]]: You can never get a photo good for blackmail for Eri, and she is the only girl staring at the camera.
* [[Lolicon]]: Shuusaku affirms he is not one, before humiliating and raping Chiaki.
* [[Meganekko]]: Shiho Minazuki is shy and wears large glasses.
* [[Mega Twintails]]: Chiaki's twin tails are slightly bigger than her head.▼
* [[Noveau Riche]]: Fujima's father is said to have made a lot of money from the japanese real state bubble of the eighties/nineties, and one of the first thing we learn about her is that she smokes cigarettes and has no fear of being caught half-naked while yawning to an open window.▼
* [[Necessarily Evil]]: {{Spoiler|During the second part of the game, Shuusaku tries to convince the player in going along with his plans by saying that if he does rape/blackmail all the girls he will be able to change spots with him again. The player of course refuses}}.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Shuusaku refers to an incident where he had to carry a dead body while carrying Minami's unconscious body without giving other details.
▲* [[
* [[Ojou]]: Everyone on the dormitory is rich but the one walking around with an air of nobility and superiority is Kaori.
* [[Overused Running Gag]]: Shuusaku calling Ayaka by phone to talk about dormitory matters. It goes on and on and on, until he finally drugs and rapes her.
▲* [[Mega Twintails]]: Chiaki's twin tails are slightly bigger than her head.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Frequently, either in scenes or in photos/videos Shuusaku takes.
* [[Pink Is Girly]]: Chiaki is girly to the point of childishness and has light pink hair.
Line 43 ⟶ 46:
** Though longer than most examples, Kaori's hair is curled, and she is pretty wealthy.
** Chiaki's pigtails are in spiral.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: {{Spoiler|Shuusaku's reaction to the player and Eri's growing romance on the second part}}.
* [[Spiritual Antithesis]]: To elf's own [[Dating Sim]]'s ''[[Doukyuusei]]''. If in that game you have to keep track of the girls' behaviour through multiple playthroughs to date them and the plot is pretty light-hearted and comedic, here you do to violate them, and the game has at best elements of [[Black Comedy]].
* [[Token Loli]]: Technically, Eri is one year younger, and Chiaki must be 16/17 by the grade she is in, but the girl with pink hair has several elements of one like the extremely childish way of talking, her hairstyle, clothes, and a room filled with stuffed toys. Shuusaku even says he is not a lolicon before blackmailing her.
* [[Tomboy]]: Asami has short hair and talks using Japanese masculine speech patterns.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Chiaki and Asami are often seen hanging around together.
* [[Third Person Person]]: Chiaki talks in such pattern, befitting her immature behaviour.
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Shuusaku describes the women around the dorm in derogatory ways and says they are constantly abusing him and don't appreciate his efforts, in a way of further justifying his criminal actions. Of course, any player paying attention will notice he is very lazy and complain about doing his job constantly and takes way too little time doing fundamental things like cooking to those students.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: You play as criminal who impersonates a person to get a job solely to rape human females.
