Description

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”

At the end of a journey of blood, despair, regret, and madness—
a stage perched on the razor's edge dividing life and death.

With no audience to cheer, at a jester's direction, Salthe performs her past.

To learn the reason for her death.
To return to the world of life.

Each scene is full of scorn and mockery,
she writhes and struggles, through to the end
of the tale of Salthe's life—a comedy——

<report>Surprisingly predictable at times and the only surprising thing was caused because of a certain, let's say, inconsistency or rather something that wasn't shown even though it should be. Additionaly for at least 2/3 of the game I wondered if it was supposed to be a good story or just porn that happened to have plot and were it not for the last part that included a few reveals, the score I've given it would be worse. So if you're looking for fap material, don't forget to also play the bad endings and go ahead, if you're looking for the story - well, it certainly is there but the sheer amount of h that often have at least bits of useful information which makes skipping it a bad idea at times could make you reconsider. Not bad but wouldn't really recommend to anyone who can't stand torture.

<report>There is nothing so comedic as the tragedy of a stranger.

Salthe is a heartbreaking story in the guise of a gory rapefest.

Come and have a good laughter at this woman’s pathetic life, because she herself wishes for it. Powerless and whimsical, yet strong enough to laugh off life’s vicissitudes, Salthe the protagonist welcomes you with open arms to her final comedic show that brings her life to an end.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Salthe is indeed a fitting interpretation of the quote from Charlie Chaplin.

<report>The best 5/10 I have ever checked. The H Content alone makes it worth, I love the art and the scenes are decent and creative, I would like it more of it didn't had a horrible streak of clown plot twists. Despite it, has interesting concepts that could be better explored with more focus on the emotional state and the metalanguage (my cum doesn't cares about good writing tho) of the MC instead of the lame ass exposition in the interactions with the character named literally "KLAUN".

<report>The Good:
Good and complex story.
Very good and erotic H-art.
Very satisfying BDSM, rape and torture.
The torture and gore are on safe level for experienced VN Hentai-lovers, and not too much into disgusting level. The H-scene is clean, there is no anal, decapitation, or organ/part expose here, just minor/casual amount of blood that you can find in most of normal VN.

The Bad:
Lack of content and number of H-art.

Tips: if you like BDSM and rape and you like the 2 big-tits main girls, then this is definitely worth watching.

<report>Thought this game was a NTR and mostly about porn, but wondering why someone recommend me to play it (?)
However it's not that bad as a conclusion, an unpredictable turning point just snapped on my face for the thought i had on it.
Basically you will like it if you have some understanding/knowledge to drama, this scenario is like drama scripts unlike others have a complete timeline and reasoning s.

<report>Salthe is what the medium visual novel should be, but so rarely is; a story-driven, character-focused narrative experience exploring complex and profoundly human themes by using mature scenes to drive the plot further and deepen the characterization of its actors.

If this sounds interesting to you, there really is nothing more to say. It will be a hard task to find anything similar, let alone in English. But maybe you are still not convinced or are wondering if the heavy themes will be to your liking, so let's try to discuss this work a little bit more without giving away the answer Salthe herself is looking for.

It's obvious that the synopsis is written as cryptic as possible, so I won... Read more »

<report>Story was carried out ok. I felt the ending was lackluster.
There were a large number of sex scenes, so if you are looking for a eroge to jack off to, then this is not a bad choice. I think that the non 18+ edition would probably be a very different experience, as a majority of the content here is just sex.

Without the sex scenes this might be a better experience, as the plot points wouldn't be as separated from each other, making the experience more cohesive in general. But I feel that they add to the weight of the subject matter, and help the reader more thoroughly understand the emotions of the characters.


The characters are decent, but because the game lies to you a little bit... Read more »

<report>In my opinion, Salthe is a game with strong narratives but week plots. The whole story is very simple - Salthe need to find the truth of her death, but the way the author told the story amazed me.
Although the scene of death CG is not as bloody as I thought, Misonoo's performance is really amazing, which makes me feel the fear to death and the pain caused by the destructions of body.

At the first ACT, it is the death of Salthe in Iron Maiden, let audience start to be inerested how this happen and also show that Salthe is a very honourable princess. Then the different scenes to introduce the nun, the guard and the prime minister and show their relationship with Salthe. After that, each of... Read more »

<report>time to give this a bad review now that the dust has settled.

at first glance you'd look at this like its a typical hentai plot of what happens to the princesses of a fallen kingdom. yeah just saying that you already know there's rape and torture here. if that's just it then I'd give this a 6 or 7. but the game tried to be too ambitious and be more political as to what's happening before and after the fall of said kingdom. ending rolled in and the story became inconsistent. plotholes. the bane of any story telling.

the question is more of what was happening during Salthe's timeline while Salome was being raped as per shown in the earlier parts of the game. I get that she got "captured" as... Read more »
