Story

May 1, 1945- Germany.On the eve of Berlin's collapse, a group of men and women carried out a certain ritual. To them, suffering defeat in the war meant nothing. If anything, the countless lives lost in the battle served as a catalyst to their sacrificial ceremony. Whether or not their attempt bore fruit ― not a soul knows. Following the war, they faded from sight, mind, and eventually into the realm of myth.
・・・・・・・・・・・・
61 years later ― Japan, 2006.
Ren Fujii, a young man attending high school in Suwahara City, finds his friendship with his old buddy Shirou Yusa shatter to pieces following a certain incident, ending in a vicious fight that sees Ren hospitalized for two months.
The season shifts from autumn to winter ― to the dawning weeks of December, with Christmas on the horizon. Having lost his best friend, Ren leaves the hospital with the intention to rebuild his new life without Shirou.
But even that plan soon falls apart. Irrationality that defies the realm of common sense begins to assault and devour the city. Abnormalities soon seek to destroy everything Ren holds dear before his eyes with overwhelming violence.
He must change, even if it means crossing the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary. His desires are hardly anything grand. All he wants is to return to those days of old. Back to those days filled with simple, everyday joy.
The battle with the Longinus Dreizehn Orden. A continuation of that war full of madness, carnage, and maledictions. What future awaits Ren at the end of his road...?

Dies irae is honestly the best thing I have read so far, and I strongly recommend Dies irae to anyone who are willing to put in the time for a super long read. However, I wouldn't recommend it you're looking for something short and fulfilling because, as much as I hate to say this, the first two routes did not meet my expectations, though they are still quite enjoyable to me. On the other hand, the super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing part is in the last two routes. In simple words, the last two routes terramog the first two routes, though I do find the second route to be the best in terms of romance. The visual novel core message may have not resonate to me as much as Subahibi, but the main character monologue, mindset and philosophy do carried real weight and registered deeply with me still to this day. (Side notes: Sharing the same name as the main character is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good because like imagine a hot anime girl calling ur name in a cute ass voice🤪 ...I'm just kidding btw)

Dies Irae has, by far, the best cast of antagonists I have ever seen. All of them get extremely well fleshed out throughout the 4 routes, and all of them get pretty much perfect conclusions. If I had to make a top 10 battles in media, most of them would be from here. A lot of them feel like battles of ideology more than just power, while also having some of the best OST and voice acting in videogames/vns, which elevates them to even greater heights. Dies Irae also feels like the definition of "It only gets better", every route is better than the last and once you finish Rea route you will be left with an unforgettable, maybe even life changing experience. Finished it a long time ago and still constantly revisit some parts of the game, and they only get better, i never get tired of it. "Eternity eludes us... We cannot become phantasms". I didnt play the steam version thats why i only have 5 minutes of gameplay, but this version (amantes amentes) is the best you can get so I highly recommend anyone interested in giving it a try.
