The third Boys Love Game by Nitro+CHiRAL of Togainu no Chi fame, sweet pool begins with the return of Youji Sakiyama to his Catholic high school after being confined in hospital for a year. Suddenly he finds his life changing in unbelievable ways as his fate becomes entangled with his classmate Tetsuo Shironuma, upperclassman Zenya Okinaga and best friend Makoto Mita. Sounds like your typical school boys' love setting right? Except that this being a Nitro+ production means that the story is also infused with horror of the most potent kind. Filled to the brim with Primal Fear and Body Horror, all heightened with a brilliantly creepy soundtrack, this is definitely not a game for the faint-hearted.

amazing and heart wrenching horror story. it’s unsettling watching the pieces come together and everything begin to unravel. it’s like all the uncomfortable feelings of puberty and the movie alien amplified. the endings may be a bit unsatisfying but it was needed. you end up feeling empathetic for all the characters involved, even the antagonists. i think about this game from time to time especially when i get my period

💀💀💀... pls don't tell anyone I played that...
PS: red means instinct and blue means logic. Didn't know that and went with all red. Bad idea. Also, we, the people who played it, need therapy:(.

This game (somewhat understandably) gets the rep of just being that weird yaoi mpreg omegaverse gore game. And I get that, because that is a large part of it, but it's also disappointing. This game has a lot more to offer than just the handful of niche kinks it appeals to.

It's a game about love, fate, religious fanaticism, devotion, gender, death, birth, chronic illness, mental illness, sacrifice, prejudice, queerness, ableism, adulthood.

It's a coming of age drama by way of Cronenberg. It shamelessly renders violence erotic and eroticism violent. It's a psychological horror and it's a heartwarming romance. Yes, it is that one game about the guy who gives birth to meat babies from his ass.

And it might be one of the most beautiful stories ever told.

thinking abt that time that i posted sweet pool on my story and my irl friend said “what game is this”
