Full voice demo version available for one month only!
Summer greetings to the victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”.
I am once again bringing you a psycho-horror film with a high level of humidity, which is perfect for a very unpleasant summer!
The full-voice demo version will be re-released to coincide with the “East Asia Indie Games Celebration” on the Steam special page!
The English translation, which was a machine translation, was proofread and I was able to renew the English version of the demo version!
English Proofreading: Leo BERTIN, Erin LAVAUX (Tawaci™️ Media)
The English version of the game has also been updated with a teaser movie, a play movie, screenshots, and a video introducing the character editing feature.
Two new screenshots of the new features have been added in other languages.
【Distribution Period】
Saturday, August 2 - Sunday, August 31, 2025

You can enjoy the episodes of “Day 1”, which is the beginning of the confinement and nursing care life, in full voice with stereophonic sound.
A new system flowchart has also been added that allows you to resume from your favorite scene.
This feature makes it easier to collect scenes of the protagonist's death in game over.
In chapter select, special dialogue can occur under certain conditions, and certain operations can be used to view exclusive Live2D motion only available here.
In the full version, I would like to further enhance the situation where he is waiting for you to wake up by linking it to the number of days logged in, etc!
The demo version on Steam will also allow live game streaming.
I have also prepared image materials that can be used as thumbnails!
You can download them for free at BOOTH.

Official Discord server opened!
I have officially opened a fan Discord server for “Severed Love”, “Romp of Dump” and other ZAKUROBENTO productions!
Click here to join: https://discord.gg/dsrZGJhc49
I will provide the following support to the Association of Victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”.
- Be the first to receive game updates and other information
- Development progress not yet posted on SNS
- Live streaming to see developing scenes in real time
- Daily reports on Steam wishlist (!?)
- Communicate with developers by asking questions
- Post feedback and fan art and interact with other fans
The main language of the server will be Japanese, but you can communicate with the developers via machine translation.
The rule descriptions and channel overviews have also been translated into English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean, although the translations are machine-translated.
I welcome people who are not chatty!
There is no voice chat on the server. I will not force you to greet or communicate with anyone.
This will be a community that is updated more frequently than a social networking site.
Please join the server and keep an eye on the criminal plans of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”!
Started a Chinese-language social networking site, “小紅書 (RED)”!
I have also opened a new account, “小紅書 (RED)”, to make more people aware of the threat of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case”.

I will be posting in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
...But as a Japanese developer, I am naturally starting from scratch and don't know what's right and left.
I would appreciate your cooperation in spreading the word to all Chinese speakers!
If you follow me, the obsession of the “Limb-Shaving Devil” will be directed at you as well...
A recent situation called adversity
Around late May, my X (Twitter) account, which has been my main source of information, went into a serious search-ban.
Impressions have decreased dramatically, as posts are no longer caught in searches and warnings are forced to appear even on healthy images and videos.
I have had to refrain from posting illustrations and other content in order to get the searchban lifted, and have lost most of my opportunities to spread the word.
I have never posted or spread extreme language or adult content on social networking sites, but I regret that I should have operated more carefully because “Severed Love” is also a bizarre and explicit work.
(By the way, I am bad at adult content...)
I would like to make “Severed Love” not an instant freak show, but a work with a deep theme that includes the anguish of a limb-slasher with a missing body, mind, and sexuality, and the irony of the fetishists who see it through the screen (i.e., us).
However, there was no way that the AI of X (Twitter) would understand this...
Just the other day, there was an uproar over the exclusion of NSFW content on itch.io.
(Fortunately, the demo version of “Severed Love” that was published on itch.io was not subject to the restrictions.)
Steam wishlist registrations are going well so far, which motivates developers, but you never know when restrictions will get tighter, even on Steam.
I have been mentally trapped, especially in the wake of the X (Twitter) searchban, and have been mentally and physically unstable for over two months.
Should “missing limb” games and the developers who want to create them not exist?
There is not a day that goes by that I don't wonder about this.
“I'm so tired.”
“Why am I doing this?”
The Limb-Severing Devil messed-up statements are the same words I am always eager to shout.
(If I post them on social media, I get unfollowed or search-banned, so I need a character from my own work to speak for me to keep me sane!)
I don't know how many times now, but I seem to be linked to his state of mind at the best of times. And just like that, I am also making a crazy game!
To those of you who are looking forward to “Severed Love”, please help me!
It would be a great help if you could send us your support through our newly opened official Discord server, various social networking sites, and the Steam community.
X (Twitter) would also appreciate replies and likes on our daily posts as I would like to remove the searchban and resume announcements.
