Saya no Uta - for noobs

C'mon everyone. Have you heard of Saya no Uta aka "Song of Saya" or 沙耶の唄? If not, you suck. lol jks, here's a basic outline of the ga― no eroge. Oh and to be nice, I'll insert some CG from it...that is if I can find it in my HCG collection. I have this game myself but I never had the chance to play it yet, that's why I relied on Wikipedia for the info.

Saya no Uta (沙耶の唄, lit. Saya's Song) is an adult visual novel by Nitroplus with horror elements.
Like Nitroplus' heavily Mythos-inspired Demonbane series, Saya no Uta's plot is somewhat Lovecraftian. Although direct references to the Cthulhu Mythos are minimal, the dark, eerie atmosphere is reminiscent of his works.

Fuminori Sakisaka is a young medical student, whose life is changed when he gets in a traffic accident which kills his parents and leaves him heavily injured. Fuminori undergoes experimental brain surgery to save his life, but the surgery has an unintended side-effect - it creates a form of agnosia, causing his senses to become "warped". He perceives the world as a hellish nightmare with a black sky and buildings covered in pulsating flesh, where all the streets and building interiors are splattered with blood, giant organs and cartilage. Ordinary people appear to him as grotesque, giant grub-like monsters with a hideous stench, and even food that he used to like now tastes like shit.

As he contemplates suicide in the hospital, Fuminori meets a beautiful, human looking girl among the flesh-covered walls. She introduces herself as Saya, and is apparently looking for her father. Fuminori does not want to be separated from Saya, and asks her to live with him. She agrees.

However, just as Fuminori sees normal things as monstrously twisted abominations, ordinary observers are able to see that Saya is actually a hideous creature from another universe. She is rarely ever seen by anyone but Fuminori, and those that do see her are immediately killed and consumed by her. Though her true form is never directly shown, it is described in the text, and an apparently identical being appears onscreen toward the end - and, ironically, is similar to the raw-looking, misshapen monstrosities which haunt Fuminori's world. The ultimate goal of her life is to spread her life-form into this universe through the original life-form with the highest level of intelligence: the human being. She learned everything about humanity from her "father", an eccentric Bio-medical scientist named Masahiko Ōgai, the first person to interact with Saya. She finds out the motive of human reproduction is "love", and the process is carried out by females. Consequently, she considers herself as a girl, looking for "love" to prepare for the final reproduction. However, because of her grotesque appearance, she had no chance to succeed - until she met Fuminori.

After her first contact died, she stayed in the hospital to continue her study and to look for the next relationship with a human being, which unfortunately results in a horror story in that hospital. Fuminori's experience also provides her the chance to learn the skills of modifying brains and bodies of human being.

The truth is revealed when Fuminori comes home to see Saya eating the slime-covered corpse of Ōmi, a girl he knows which appears as a yellow-green jelly-like thing in Fuminori's eyes. The smell and texture was described by Fuminori as "herb-like scent, looks like a variety of succulent fruits". When he tries it, he actually finds the human flesh delicious due to his twisted senses.

Fuminori Sakisaka (匂坂 郁紀) Voiced by: Hikaru
The protagonist of the game. A medical school student, he suffers a near-fatal traffic accident which kills his parents and leaves his perception of life permanently altered. As he wades through the "world gone berserk" of flesh and blood, he seeks the affection of the only thing he sees as normal — a mysterious girl named Saya. Over time due to Saya's influence, Fuminori views normal people with apathetic disdain and becomes willing to kill others without remorse with only Saya and later, Yō as exceptions.

Saya (沙耶) Voiced by: Midori Kawamura
Saya is a being from another dimension who materialized in this universe for the sole purpose of reproduction. She has no memories of where she came from and is guided only by her instincts. Due to Fuminori's condition, he perceives her as a lithe young girl in a white dress, but in actuality she is some sort of amorphous, tentacled, fleshy monstrosity that emits a putrid stench. She preys on creatures of all sizes, from cats to human beings, typically killing them by snapping their necks or disembowelment through some unknown means, and then feasting on their internal organs. Because Fuminori is madly in love with her, he gradually becomes a cannibal. Her true form is never fully revealed, as she immediately kills and consumes any third-party observers. The small amount of information regarding her actual form is gleaned entirely from in-game descriptions, which themselves are rather vague.

Kōji Tonoo (戸尾 耕司) Voiced by: Daijiro Kataoka
Fuminori's friend. After Fuminori's accident he has been trying to help Fuminori's life get back to normal. After Kōji is almost killed by Fuminori and learns the truth of Fuminori's new character, Kōji directly confronts Fuminori's actions and attempts to kill him.

Ōmi Takahata (高畠 青海) Voiced by: Kaibara Elena
Kōji's girlfriend and Yō's best friend. After Fuminori's accident she has become worried for Yō's sake. After Fuminori blatantly rejects Yō, Ōmi investigates by going to Fuminori's house. Inside Fuminori's house, Ōmi is killed by Saya.

Yō Tsukuba (津久葉 瑶) Voiced by: Izumi Yazawa
A friend of Fuminori's who has a crush on him. Since his accident she has been worried and heartbroken at his sudden change of attitude towards the world. When she goes to investigate the disappearance of Ōmi, Yō is captured by Saya. Yō is subjected to an experiment by Saya and becomes genetically altered into the same type of creature as Saya after twenty hours. Fuminori was then able to view Yō as he originally did afterwards. However, the change caused Yō unbearable pain and she begged Kōji to kill her later in the story, which he obliged.

Ryōko Tanbo (丹保 凉子) Voiced by: Makoto Sato
The physician in charge of Fuminori's condition. She becomes suspicious that Fuminori has been hiding something during his routine checkups after he recovers from his injuries.

There are three endings to the visual novel, depending on the choices you make during the course of the game:

Ending 1

Saya helps Fuminori return to normal, but suddenly leaves because she does not
want to reveal her true form to Fuminori. Fuminori contacts the police, is
charged with murder, and becomes confined in a psychiatric hospital for the rest
of his life. Saya visits Fuminori once and, refusing to let Fuminori see her and
hear her real voice, communicates using texts messages in a cell phone passed
through an opening in the door. Fuminori confesses his love and promises to
comfort her at any time. Saya leaves to search for her father, and Fuminori
continues to wait in his cell. It is implied that the two never meet again.

Ending 2

Fuminori accepts what has happened to him and decides to remain the way he is to
stay with Saya. To keep what has happened a secret, Fuminori decide to kill Kōji
by setting a trap for him in Masahiko Ōgai's abandoned house in the mountains.
However, Kōji is saved by Dr. Ryōko Tanbo, and they stumble across Ōgai's log
with information of Saya. Kōji returns with plans to kill Fuminori in vengeance,
and Ryōko offers to help him. After getting Fuminori's location by blackmailing
him with information of Saya, the duo enter to kill Fuminori, but are sneak
attacked by him. Before dying, Ryōko, with the help of some liquid nitrogen,
manages to inflict a fatal wound to Saya, but is simultaneously killed by
Fuminori. Upon seeing the state of Saya's body, Fuminori loses all will to live
and commits suicide. Saya uses her last strength in order to crawl to Fuminori's
body while being repeatedly hit with an iron pipe by Kōji. She dies soon after
being reunited with him. After everything he went through, Kōji turns insane.
His life becomes almost unbearable, leaving him riddled with delusions of the
dismembered corpses talking to him repeatedly and suicidal thoughts. It is
implied that eventually he would kill himself.

Ending 3

The events in this ending are similar to the previous one, except Kōji refuses
help from Ryōko in an attempt to kill Fuminori by himself. Without Ryōko's
interference, Saya and Fuminori kill Kōji together. Afterwards, it turns out
that Saya has reached the last stage and ultimate goal of her life:
reproduction. Saya dies while releasing a spore-like matter into the
atmosphere—a mutating agent aimed at humans, created by researching the human
genome obtained during sex with Fuminori. The agent is spread across the globe
by updrafts, slowly turning the entire human population into members of Saya's
species. The end of the story is seen from Ryōko's perspective, and it is
implied that Fuminori, although without Saya, will see beauty in the world once
again since it will be filled with her kind. This ending could be seen as the
'true' ending, due to it seeming most connected with the title.
