Once born into this world, you must live. That is the single truth that exists for all life in the beginning. Mentors and models to follow, the will to do good and abhor evil—are all a fiction we learn later, a fiction known as "ideology". Living this fiction is what makes us human. But do we need such ideology to be human, as we do our limbs? Does that make those who lose or abandon such ideology less than human—does it make them limbless maggots? If so, then this tale is devoid of humans—it is a tale of maggots. Crawling to survive, like the maggots we are. Maggot baits, winner of the 2015 Moege Awards Top Fetish game, is the newest title from ClockUp, the studio that brought us the infamous erotic thriller, euphoria. Do you have what it takes to stomach this dark and violent tale, maggot?

On that topic, I really do feel like the torture scenes hold this VN a lot because not only are they really dragged out, it really ruins the pacing especially in the final acts of the normal and true routes. One thing Clockup works don't get enough credit is there insanely cracked voice acting. Everyone here gave it their all and I'm also happy that some male character including the protagonist is voice acted(something I wish Euphoria had).
I feel really torn about Maggot Baits but I really liked the story and characters overall. With Dead Days around the corner I'm really excited to dig into that one one since its by the same writer as MB(more tamed by looks of it).
