* BestialityIsDepraved: In ''Happiness Island'' the protagonist can choose to slack off at the Happiness Herb fields to recover health, and the more costly variant of this is getting... healed... by a goat named Masako. Choose it enough times and he gets stuck in the island with her during the epilogue. The game goes out of its way to portray Hero 6 with an implied grin as it happens before both characters blush heavily buuuut otherwise what's going on is only ''implied'', as this labor camp story full of murder was rated for all ages after all!

Added DiffLines:

* EarnYourBadEnding:
** In ''Happiness Island'', you have to go out of your way to serve the Blood Butterfly Army for the Dog gauge to fill all the way to 100. If it happens, Hero 6 gets promoted as the new coach for the army's team and promptly goes drunk with power over the island's inmates.
** Also in the Inner Success, getting the ending where Hero 6 remains on the island with Masako the goat requires you to pay to be "refreshed" by her around ten times.


Added DiffLines:

* GRatedSex: At the Blood Butterfly camp, the inmates the pay to rest at special "refreshment rooms", so to say. One features a popular life-size doll of an {{expy}} of Shiori from Konami's own ''Tokimeki Memorial'' and the other contains Masako, a goat. The game's not exactly subtle about what might be going on when you choose to "heal" in those spots but doesn't depict it in detail either.

...However, the Wakura team loses a match against the Great Empire Killers and is bankrupted. Hero 6 fails to even confront the time criminal. The plot goes OffTheRails as Hero 6 is sent to the Blood Butterfly Army's camp as a slave to WorkOffTheDebt. And it's no "army boot camp" matter -- they're flat out nazi-esque arms traffickers who are performing human experiments regarding the eponymous "happiness grass" drugs. Can Hero 6 work there for 100 days without getting freaking executed? Will he stir a rebellion or will he instead join their ranks?
