Visual novels are not really my prefered game type. With that said, this one was definitely interesting. The music was quite good and it surpassed my expectations for a free game.

About This Game
"Love is both poison and cure, both knife and remedy."
Rosa's best friend, Catherine, is dead and she is sure Catherine's betrothed, Marquis Guilleme is to blame. Mother says so. Mother says he has to pay with his life. Although, she knows by now Guilleme is no ordinary man. He is tainted. Inhuman. A monster. He cannot be killed by usual means. To seek the best revenge, she must find out all his secrets and destroy him. But will her own dark desires consume her or liberate her?
No matter.
Mother will tell her what to do.
Set in the romantic 18th century France, play as the third person point of view character of Mother — a unique twist to the visual novel decision making medium. Decide the fate of the characters, scold or console, argue or assent... Just don’t be surprised if they start to question your commands.

Cupid is not for the faint of heart. It's a dark, gritty, tainted look at love. It takes what we see, and throws it on itself. But is it worth a play? Yes, absolutely. The game is sick. And will make you feel as such, but still, I could not tear myself away. Highly Reccomended.
This game is sooooo weird. But it's a good weird. I have never seen a visual novel like this before. If you want something kinda trippy that will also make you think for days afterwords, give this one a shot!
Ok, I finish the game once and really keep me thinking and meditating about a really broad spectrum of philosophical and life things... This VN is catalogue with Adult or mature theme and not because of a childhood thinking of: [i]"oooh this have hentai or sex scenes and fan service"[/i] if not because of what is about. The content is deep, and really dark sometimes, and the topics goes from certain humans ideals to sexuality, friendship, [i]Love[/i] and self-conciousness, so this is not for everyone that not have at least a basic [i]responsibility of thinking[/i] to explore the game and the differents routes. The english is a fancy and elaborated one, so be patience. The game is FREE so take a hint of culture and deep thinking and read it, because the Music is a classic and elite one. PD1: Don't mind my play time because i finish it in my vacations in off-line mode, like a pillow-book jeje PD2: Para aquellos habla hispana que sepan ingles tendran que poner esfuerzo (o traductor a...
This VN is easily one of my favourites. The characters are intruiging, the story fucked me up real hard and the visuals beautiful. Plus its free so it wouldn't hurt to just check it out.
I'm really not sure how to describe my feelings about this game. I guess, at the risk of sounding like a paid "critic" from gaming mags of bygone years, I could only accurately describe "CUPID" as...compelling. It's an odd sort of feeling, playing this game. It wasn't comfortable or enjoyable in the least, but the story that unfolded was interesting enough to quell the repulsion. Fortunately I am down with the Romantic movement and all things terrible and sublime, so this unsettling feeling was right up my alley. Seeing that it has multiple endings adds a bit of longevity to an otherwise extremely short game. The question is, am I enough of a jackass to pursue them all at the expense of the poor protagonist? All in all, a great game for those with a fascination for the emotionally grotesque.
Loved this game. When you first play through the story is a bit confusing, but that's what makes trying to get all the endings and the achievements worth it. Each reveals more of the story and gives you a better understanding of all the crazy going on. :D
When I saw that you could play this game for free, I thought it were just a silly romance novel that would keep my mind occupied for some hours and that's all I wanted really. In the end, though, this visual novel (don't expect a game, it's a novel as it clearly says in the title) actually had a deep and involving story to tell that had me enthralled and left me thinking about it hours, days and weeks later.
LOVED IT. Loved the plot. Loved some of the endings. The soundtrack is perfect. 10/10
I dunno if my friend will like this game since he's scared of psychological horror novels like Higurashi and such, but I kinda wanna play and read this to him just to mess with him a bit.
