About Salthe
This is the “ comedy” of Salthe—
A jester turns a human life to comedy,
and weaves a thrilling tale of Salthe's memory.
How did Salthe die, at the end of despair?
Join us, audience, as we wind our way there.
At the end of a journey of blood, despair, regret, and madness—
a stage perched on the razor's edge dividing life and death.
With no audience to cheer, at a jester's direction, Salthe performs her past.
To learn the reason for her death.
To return to the world of life.
Each scene is full of scorn and mockery,
she writhes and struggles, through to the end
of the tale of Salthe's life—a comedy——

Dramatis Personae
- Salthe: The star of this performance, known far and wide as the finest actress in Mersin's national theatre troupe. Clever and competent, she has always balanced her stage work and her royal duties with skill. Now she relives her time as Mersin's crown princess while searching for the reason for her death on Kloun's phantasmagoric stage.
- Marie: A kind-hearted nun, Salthe's childhood friend. Lives alone in a church outside town, where she cares for children who have lost their parents. The orphanage's finances are dire, but she keeps a cheerful smile while making ends meet. She'll never back down once her mind is made up. Salthe has been helping her look for adoptive parents for the orphans.
- Kloun: An enigmatic jester who grants Salthe a chance to return to life from the liminal stage. Professes to be Salthe's friend, but never drops a theatrical facade.

I didn't make it far.... I don't know exactly if this vn was heading in this direction but.... I had to quit the game after the introduction of Vanilla the puppy dog. I can read hardcore messed up adult novels, but innocent animals are a hard no for me. Again I stopped reading after vanilla was mentioned so I don't know if that's exactly the route it was taking but I'm not sticking around to find out. Suggestions for people looking for dark adult games: Heart cage (otome), Love Lock, The Price of Flesh, YKMET: STRADE.2 found this helpful
Literally just rape porn. I may be a Dead Dove enthusiast, but I like my suffering to come with a bit of meaning. This ♥♥♥♥ is just completely nihilistic, with every attempt at forward action in the story being answered with "haha ♥♥♥♥♥ u thought" and then another drawn-out rape scene. Utterly tedious. I only held out as long as I did out of the hopes that maybe it'd go somewhere eventually, but I really should've caught on from the observation that of this game's eight achievements, five are for fiddling with menu options and another is literally for starting up the game. And "game" is a generous descriptor, since it took over an hour before I was given a single choice to make and it basically boiled down to which rape scene I want to watch. Boring, gross drivel.1 found this helpful
Awesome
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot. So please, enjoy this comedy for a while. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3704701041 p.s. panic button is 'p'
Premise looked interesting, so I picked it up as my first visual novel. The mystery, psychological horror, and dark tags really sold me on it. But honestly, the game kind of blindsided me. While the story has a strong hook and some real potential. An while it has some heavy, mature themes which i expected with the tags , the torture and sexual assault elements just felt excessive, forced, and unnecessary. —and there’s no clear tag warning you about that, which feels misleading, It didn’t add much to the story and honestly made the experience worse. I think the game would’ve been a lot better without it. There is a plot twist, and it’s decent, but it doesn’t really save the overall experience. Overall, pretty disappointing considering how much potential it had. 2.5/10
pacing is pretty slow , the mystery aspect is cool but the gore and horror aspects seem kinda forced and out of place . id say its pretty tasteless , the mystery is where the story shines but if youre looking for horror youre better off not wasting your time here .
