  How a comic tried to reimagine cult visual novel Song Of Saya

  A Panel Shaped Screen is a monthly column where Giada Zavarise explores how comics and videogames inspire each other. This month, Giada examines the differences between cult horror visual novel Song Of Saya and its American comic adaptation. Seeing Song Of Saya (Saya no Uta) featured on Steam is like finding a dead body on the shore. It’s a terrific visual novel, this one, but one always recommended in whispers. A horror love story festooned in blood and gore, and with a list of content warnings longer than my games backlog. It can be completed in a single sitting, but will haunt you for years. Its presence on a mainstream storefront feels viscerally wrong, like something dark and rotten that should not have been brought to light. And yet, this is not the first time Song Of Saya got introduced to a bigger audience. Because a decade ago, it got an American comic adaptation. (more…)

  Deeply messed-up visual novel Saya no Uta is coming to Steam

  Steam's doors have been open to a lot of adult games it previously wouldn't have sold, but it's still a surprise to see Saya no Uta ~ Song of Saya appear in the list of upcoming games. This is a visual novel infamous because, as Brittany Vincent put it, "Not only are there descriptions of gratuitous violence, but sexual assault, adult scenes featuring a young-looking female character, and various other bits of awfulness are sprinkled throughout." And yet it's enduringly popular. Brittany went on to write that "despite all its horrific content (and in many cases because of it, including some of the grotesque fates that befall certain characters), Saya no Uta remains one of my most-played visual novels." It's the story of a young man who survives a car crash but is permanently changed, perceiving the world as as a hellscape of gore and people as monsters. Even his friends look demonic. Only a young girl named Saya appears normal, but when his senses tell him everything mundane is monstrous what does it mean that she seems innocent? Saya no Uta is an effective work of horror written by Gen Urobuchi (of Psycho-Pass, Fate/Zero, and Madoka Magica fame), but it's let down by some out-of-place hentai scenes that feel like they were inserted because it was was released by Nitroplus, and that's what they're known for. The kind of dudes who call everyone else "normies" think these scenes are essential, but for the rest of us they're out of place. Saya no Uta will be available on Steam from August 12, remastered in a new engine with higher quality image resolution, and promises improved translation and better system compatibility with Windows 10. We'll have to wait and see if the story's also been altered.
