I recall when I first saw Raging Loop, which got developed and published by KEMCO, popping up on the steam store I knew right away that it’d be a game I have to check out. However, at this time, this visual novel, unfortunately, didn’t support English subtitles and thus, I waited patiently for any language updates. Years passed and I already gave up on being able to play it, until PQube announced that they will handle the localization. Sadly, we still had to wait a month longer for the Steam version to get updated, but nonetheless, it was worth the wait. Raging Loop is exactly what I expected of it based on the synopsis: Gory, crazy and unpredictable. As a horror lover, I’m always glad when I happen to stumble across another horror visual novel, as there are way too few of them.

Raging Loop opens with Haruaki Fusaishi going on a motorcycle trip after breaking up with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, he gets into an accident and his motorcycle isn’t working anymore. Thus, being lost, he happens to find a village called Yasumizu after a while where he meets the college student Chiemi who is, for some reason, outside late at night. He plans on staying until he repairs his bike, however, fate has different plans for him and the next day, there is a mysterious mist all over the village. All villagers are sheltering inside their houses and Chiemi is telling him to hide in an outhouse, however, curiosity gets the better of him and therefore, he ends up going outside to check the animalistic noises.

After that, the game reveals that the village is cursed and the feast begins. This curse works basically like the werewolf game where the villagers have to find the werewolf during the daytime and hang them. Of course, this game is all about manipulation so the wolves are lying and trying to make the villagers getting suspicious of themselves. There are other animals present here, such as the snake, crow, spider and monkeys which will help the villagers with identifying the bad wolves although some are more helpful than others. I liked that the game borrowed the functions of the already known game, with the exception that there is a curse lingering here and it all takes place in real life instead of being a simple game.

But that also means that everyone is on edge, including the player and villagers. While Haruaki is an outsider and didn’t have a lot to do with the village, I found he was very eager to save them, which is admirable, to say the least. The residents, however, are slowly going crazy because they don’t know whom to trust anymore. This is especially tough given they’ve all known each other for a very long time so it was hard to believe that they would start to kill each other only because they happened to get the role of the werewolf. However, during the playthrough, the player will notice very soon that nobody is really normal in this game and they all have an ace up their sleeve when it comes to craziness.

There are a lot of dead ends in Raging Loop and strangely, Haruaki can remember the events after his death and thus, he finds himself looping back. Thanks to keeping his memories, he already knows valuable information he can use in his next loop to achieve his desired scenario. Of course, that doesn’t always work and there are still a lot of mysteries unclear as the player goes through the game. Slowly, the game reveals more information and I found myself getting surprised at the unpredictable reveals. Something I didn’t quite enjoy is that sometimes the loops started very early in the game and it became a little bit draggy due to the length of this game. Whilst it’s not repetitive at all due to the outcome being totally different when Haruaki changes small things, the player will find themselves going through the process a long time until the final arc where everything finally gets revealed.

Raging Loop is a very linear visual novel as there is technically only one play order to go through. Whilst choices are available here, the player can only choose one to advance with the story as the others either lead to a dead-end or are locked. To unlock the choices, you have to go on with the playthrough until you find the right key to unlock the decisions. Some choices require more than one key but the order you will find them makes perfect sense for the story. It’s possible to look up the obtained keys in the menu and there is a flowchart where the player can check how to advance with the story next. While I liked this feature, it felt more like a chore to look up what branch you can take next or what key you’re missing. Since the game jumps back and forth with the unlocks, it wasn’t always clear where to advance with the story so I had to go through all chapters again.

Whilst the story is quite gory, there aren’t any drawings where you can actually see the described text. This, however, didn’t bother me a lot because there are some shocking scenes I can’t even imagine how they would look like. There are still CGs for these scenes, however, they’re very reduced and this game leaves the imagination up to its players. That being said, there are a lot of beautiful CGs available here and I found the art style gives a more mature vibe than usual visual novels I am used to, which fit just well with this type of game. After completing the main story, there is an NG+ feature called Revelation Mode where the player can replay and read the thoughts of other characters to understand their intentions better. Additionally, Raging Loop contains high-quality voice-acting, including the protagonist, which greatly helped with the immersion.

Raging Loop is a mysterious and horror visual novel that makes the terrifying werewolf game become true. I always found it interesting how people would start to behave when it comes to a life and death situation, but the tricky thing here is that, besides the outsiders, the people in the village already knew each other for a long time already so it’s especially hard to decide whom you can trust. I have to admit that I really liked the loop feature, so this visual novel doesn’t only offer different routes but they’re all tied to each other and contribute to the main story. The premise of already knowing the outcome and trying to fix the story is quite interesting, to say the least, although I became impatient due to its length and wanted to know what was going on, which took a while until the final arc. That being said, Raging Loop is a visual novel that will very likely appeal to any horror and mystery lover and tells a splendid narrative about survival.
