Chainsaw Man fan visual novel exploring romance after tragedy

StashlyVN Review

Living With Chainsaw transplants the cast of Chainsaw Man into a domestic visual novel framework, asking what happens when Denji and Power share an apartment following Aki's death. Dr.Ergenecon uses this premise as a launchpad for relationship-building and romantic tension, letting you guide how Denji navigates his growing closeness with Power while managing the complications that arise when Reze and Makima re-enter the picture.

The core loop centers on daily interactions and branching dialogue choices that determine which relationships deepen and which collapse under pressure. Rather than action-driven sequences, the game prioritizes intimate character moments and conversation—expect slower pacing that rewards players interested in watching these characters develop beyond their source material roles. The visual novel structure is straightforward, relying on 2D anime-style artwork and text-based storytelling without voice acting or complex mechanical systems.

The adult content is woven into the romantic and intimate scenes, framed as natural extensions of the relationships you're building rather than gratuitous interludes. Dr.Ergenecon leans into erotic scenarios that escalate based on your choices, giving the game genuine stakes in terms of which paths lead to explicit moments versus emotional vulnerability. As a fangame still in version 0.50, expect ongoing development and balance adjustments; the current build provides a foundation for the branching narrative rather than a "complete" experience.

If you're drawn to Chainsaw Man's characters but wanted to explore gentler, more intimate versions of them, this offers that alternate angle. The game assumes familiarity with the source material—it doesn't rehash backstories, instead building on what you already know about these characters to explore new relationship dynamics.

Pros

  • Domestic setting creates genuine chemistry between familiar characters
  • Multiple romantic routes with meaningfully different outcomes
  • Adult scenes feel earned through relationship progression rather than arbitrary
  • Cross-platform availability (Windows, macOS, Android)
  • Active development with Patreon support for ongoing content updates
  • Avoids retreading the original anime plot

Cons

  • Early version (0.50) means incomplete narrative and potential bugs
  • Requires familiarity with Chainsaw Man to appreciate characterization
  • No voice acting or dynamic visuals beyond static 2D art
  • Slow pacing may feel restrictive for players wanting faster relationship escalation
Recommended for: Chainsaw Man fans interested in romantic fan-fiction interpretations, and visual novel readers who enjoy erotic relationship-building over action-driven gameplay.
Skip if: Players expecting canon-faithful storytelling, action sequences, or those unfamiliar with Chainsaw Man's characters and setting.
Similar taste: If you've played character-driven VNs like Katawa Shoujo or Doki Doki Literature Club and enjoyed fangames that reimagine existing characters in intimate scenarios, Living With Chainsaw offers that same appeal within the Chainsaw Man universe.
