Asylum of Pleasure and Pain starts with James, an undercover agent for an elite security organization named the E.N.S.D., unfortunately his last mission was a trap, and he was killed in action. However the angel Clarise is sent to rescue his soul, and takes him to fight against the E.N.S.D. that is hunting a girl, Lara Ixora, a resident of the Asylum of pleasure & pain. Xed, the new leader of the E.N.S.D corporation has in fact sent his soldiers to the Asylum, unaware of the presence of monsters.
For some sections the game will also be about the adventure of two E.N.S.D. soldiers, Kane and Steve, an innocent bystander called Cephy, General Sayaka Kisumi that leads the E.N.S.D.attack squad, and Alister, a mysterious man with a suitcase.
Asylum of Pleasure and Pain is a game inspired by various sources like the games made by Suda51, especialy the Silver Case and Killer7, some cancelled fangames like Killer7 SINdrome and the song Bedlam of Pleasure and Pain. The game is a mix of visual novel, battles and exploration, and it's pretty linear. It features a putpourri of original artworks, rips and edits. There are also several different sections to a stealth section to a first-person-view short scenario. The game includes a skippable prologue.
WARNING: this game deals with topics such as war, kidnappings, cults,
religion, organ trafficking, sex, assassinations, politics, genocide and
some parts may be considered cruel.
Random Fact: although buggy, and labeled as a demo, Asylum of Pleasure & Pain has a complete storyline plus some extras, and while it requires to be fixed in some part it's the only game of the trilogy that can be completed. It's also the more varied in terms of gameplay and playable characters.
Final Verdict: this game is a creative mess both for story and gameplay, there are many
characters and the story makes little sense. Oh and there are several
saves since the game is glitchy/bugged in some parts and I had no time
to fix/modify it! You are warned!
