Dies irae ~Amantes amentes~
Dies irae ~Amantes amentes~ is a critically acclaimed Japanese visual novel that has captivated fans since its 2007 release. With over 100,000 copies sold domestically, the game continues to attract new audiences. Its intense narrative unfolds across a dark, atmospheric setting, featuring complex characters and poetic dialogue. The story begins on May 1, 1945, in Germany, where a mysterious ritual takes place amid the fall of Berlin. Sixty-one years later, in Suwahara City, Japan, Ren Fujii’s life is forever changed after a violent clash with his friend Shirou Yusa, leading to a two-month hospital stay. The game’s success led to a highly funded Japanese crowdfunding campaign in 2015, which raised over 30 million yen in under a day. An anime adaptation, currently in production and set to air in 2017 with North American plans, further expands its reach. Featuring a stellar voice cast and gripping battles, Dies irae blends emotional depth with thrilling storytelling.
