FAITHLESS//FLAGELLANT

FAITHLESS//FLAGELLANT is KillJill's unflinching kinetic visual novel about Claire, a woman caught in a cycle of desire, jealousy, and self-inflicted pain. Made for the Toxic Yuri VN Jam, it doesn't shy away from the messy, destructive dynamics that emerge when attraction becomes entangled with cruelty—both toward others and oneself. The narrative follows Claire's fixation on Didi while she simultaneously hurts Nina, all while desperately wanting Didi to reciprocate her suffering. It's a story about want that corrodes from the inside.

As a kinetic visual novel, you won't be making branching choices—instead, KillJill guides you through roughly 14,000 words of uninterrupted narrative. This format works deliberately in the game's favor, forcing you to witness Claire's actions without the comfort of alternative paths or redemptive routes. The writing prioritizes psychological texture over visual spectacle; there are no CGs here, which means the weight of the story rests entirely on the prose and your willingness to sit with uncomfortable character behavior. The game explores sadomasochism, sexual content, and themes of harm as genuine emotional dynamics rather than titillation.

The adult content is explicit and thematically central rather than decorative. Expect scenes dealing with power exchange, humiliation, and bodily functions presented matter-of-factly within a framework of toxic attraction. If you're sensitive to depictions of infidelity (NTR), self-harm as metaphor, or relationships built on mutual damage, this isn't a game designed to make you feel good—it's designed to make you feel. The experience is deliberately transgressive, marked by a clear content warning upfront. KillJill has created something that trusts its audience to distinguish between exploring dark themes and endorsing them.
