Masquerade: Hell Academy

Honestly, I’m not even sure what to say about this game. It technically has lore, but the vast majority of it feels like an excuse to just throw the characters into those increasingly messed-up situations. It's basically torture porn with a thin layer of story just there to vaguely justify why anyone's even in this scenario. Most of the game revolves around abuse, degradation, and characters slowly losing their minds. If you're expecting an interesting story, meaningful character dynamics, or emotional depth—this really isn’t it. Some reviews compare it to Room No. 9, but I completely disagree. Room No. 9 actually had character development and strong emotional scenes. This just felt repetitive and empty. I found myself skipping through large sections because it felt like the same thing over and over again. Also, the MC is a minor (around 17), which made the NSFW scenes feel very uncomfortable. The art is okay at best and pretty janky at worst. The music and voice acting were fine, but they weren’t enough to carry the experience. Overall, I can’t really recommend this unless you’re specifically seeking something disturbing and don’t care much about story, pacing, or charact…

Very funny in a morbid way. Doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's where it shines best. Room no. 9 comparisons aren't too far off, as both titles deal with extremely upsetting scenarios inflicted on characters. However, as mentioned, it's not as serious. Anyone open to humorous takes on messed up scenarios will certainly appreciate this game. Also, make sure to install the free patch from JAST website.

It's a 18+ BL game (if you download the free patch). If you have played room nr.8 (also a deranged BL game); then you know what kind of game this is. Those hostiles are being tortured! If this is not your game don't play it. I had a lot of fun completing the endings, scenes and CGs.

DEGENERATE

At first I was kekeke then I was HOLY SH##. I played it with my brain off that's why the scenes really made me cackle. I love how dumb everybody is. Then I locked in as things progressed and bam! A very tragic story hit my face like a brick covered in dried cement. It was very entertaining up until the end, I recommend playing every end for the whole story. It's worth it to know. I played with the patch btw. There's so much CGs and scenes that this is the first game that I didn't bother making 100%. I'm at 97% completion even though I finished every end already. I recommend saving every choice especially the ones where you have to pick a character. It gets repetitive and it makes me too lazy to do it since majority of it doesn't change the storyline anyway. I do appreciate the love they give to each character, that means everybody's favorite get to do it too haha.
