Dies irae is the story of a man who dreamed. It's as much the story of Ren and Reinhard, Marie and Mercurius as it is of Masada himself.

Incredibly ambitious and a bit too long, it's the game that most expresses the desire to create a story ive played in a while. It mixes everything that's cool in modern japanese urban horror with chuuni media and nazis and ties it all in a story about influences, legacies and authorship. By the end of Rea's route you'll be crying your eyes out at the sheer scale of the monster you just experienced and see it cross yet another mountain before gently decending down into a pristine lake. Play this if you want to experiences the highs and lows of an author with a lot of ambition and the jank to pull it through and fall apart again and again.
