Chimeric Violet is a bara VN with light RPG elements - the project started as just a writing exercise in putting together a small-scale, excessively gay low fantasy JRPG-ish story, and eventually took on enough material to try finishing off properly as a short game.

Taking place mostly in one city as it completely collapses over the course of a single night, the game works in reasonable quantities of monster-fucking offset with a decent amount of character interaction, at least trying for something approaching worldbuilding at times. While the direction might be a little self-indulgent, putting together something like this is an exercise in doing something entirely for yourself; and I hope that, if you try it, you’ll find something to enjoy in the characters, music, or at least in the fantastic art that goes far beyond what a project like this deserves.

Even putting aside the incredibly dense, boring, overly complex story, the game itself is an absolute chore to play. Slow movement, overly cluttered maps, many unwinnable turn-based fights and lots of backtracking make the game thoroughly unpleasant. The art is the best thing about it so if you're into monsters and a little body horror then this is definitely for you.
