Main Utsuge Discussion
As was pointed out, does Gears Of War have any business being on the list?
Could someone PLEASE correct this page. Most of the games are hardly nakige and certainly not Utsuge.
From VNDB:
Utsuge stands for utsu game, and it means "depressing game". It is said that the purpose of these types of games is to depress the player.
Most of the time these games have no happy end, no help, no hope...
Do not mix with a similar game type, nakige.
For example on an imaginary utsuge, the heroine would be sick from the very beginning and would die in the end. But on an imaginary nakige, the game would be about a happy school romance with the heroine suddenly getting sick at the very end of the game to only recover at the very last moment. (Though there are nakige with deaths too.)
Most of the games on this page should be removed. (Da Capo!? Utsuge!? WTF!?) Most of the Key games aren't utsuge at all except for maybe Air and Tomoyo After. A real utsuge should make you despressed for days after finishing it. Not because its over but since the ending feels unfair and despressing. VN's like Kara no Shoujo, Muv Luv Alternative and Kara no Shoujo are this.
