Released on Kickstarter as a patch for the all-ages Steam version, but it does not contain the additional story content from ~Amantes amentes~.A route of the Steam version must be played to completion first for the patch to work.

Dies Irae Walkthrough

Dies Irae: Amantes Amentes was just released on Steam today as a free-to-play title so you read through the beginning of the game, which I understand is dozens of hours long, but then you need to purchase some of the character endings/routes separately. The title is a highly acclaimed visual novel garnering a lot of praise from fans and was for a long time considered to be 'untranslatable' due to the complexity of its writing style. However it seems that this English release was in good hands with the translation team consisting of many very talented translators, whom have worked on titles such as Steins;Gate, Himawari and Root Double among others.

I personally only know the very basic premise to Dies Irae, which sounds like Fate/Stay Night combined with magical Nazis, but I've been interested in playing this game for some time just because of the absurd amount of hype surrounding it. In my personal experience, visual novel fans tend to over exaggerate how good the story is in many VNs but the hyperbole surrounding Dies Irae is really something else with some of its biggest fans claiming that the game has 'possibly the most amazing cast of characters in any work of fiction ever' or that it has 'one of the most profound and complicated settings in a work of fiction ever'.

Dies Irae Season 2

But hey, the game is free-to-play so you don't have to drop $40 to find out if you'll enjoy the story. If Dies Irae looks like something you'll enjoy it might be worth a shot. I plan on reading through a bit later today just to see what all the hype is about. Anyone else interested in Dies Irae?
