So this is way less "gory" than the anime version?

[Clord]

Those who don't know, anime version is really nuts. The villain in its original Japanese dub sounds freaking insane when she laughs. Plus blood everywhere.

[CutToSleep]

Well, there aren't really any gory images (aside from some occasional blood splatter), all the gory stuff is in the description text.

The sound novel is not visually gory, but the chilling atmosphere created through the text is perhaps even more effective than gruesome images would be.

The descriptions are gloriously detailed, so even if you aren't seeing it, you'll definately get the idea.

There is zero gore.

Not a single graphic image.

That's why I like the visual novel a ton more than the anime. It doesn't rely on cheap gross-out shock value.

Like Family Guy has done a lot lately as well, sadly. I agree, however.

The anime was not a cheap gross-out shock value thing. The visual novel had tension but lacked the impact.

I love gore, since gore is tasty. But gore alone doesn't make any shock value. It is not gore that creates fear. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be any.

My issue however is with the lack of people having any kind of an imagination in this day and age like when most of us were children in the 90's. I can just picture how bloodily detailed the 'gore' is without seeing the gore itself on screen.

I'm pretty sure OP meant only one of them, and basically almost everyone managed to be a culprit so far (unless we count THE BIG BOSS).
