sweet pool is a horror visual novel with strong ties to the fan-favorite Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya, released in English by JAST USA in 2013. Saya no Uta auteur Urobuchi Gen (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero) served as a consultant for sweet pool, and the games share an atmosphere of blood-soaked eroticism and strange carnality. sweet pool’s English translation was also edited by Makoto, esteemed translator of Saya no Uta ~ The Song of Saya. Even if you’ve never played a BL game before, don’t let that dissuade you from experiencing this horror masterpiece!
sweet pool translator Molly Lee is highly respected among fans and has done extensive work for niche visual novels such as Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi, Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome, the light novel series Kokoro Connect, and the horror visual novel Neighbor. She is also bringing her expertise to the upcoming Nitro+CHiRAL release from JAST BLUE, Lamento -BEYOND THE VOID-!
sweet pool is a wild ride and an absolute masterclass in gripping horror marbled with poignant character moments. If you’re looking to dip your toe into Boys’ Love as a genre, I encourage you to take the plunge with this one. – Molly Lee, Translator
