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.
