DRAMAtical Murder (DMMD) remains one of the most talked-about and controversial visual novels in the Boys’ Love (BL) genre, even as of December 17, 2025, over a decade after its initial release. The game's blend of cyberpunk aesthetics, deep psychological horror, and explicit content has cemented its status as a cult classic. For newcomers and returning fans, the primary question always revolves around the game's most sensitive and defining feature: the explicit scenes.
The confusion largely stems from the numerous versions available—the original 18+ PC release, the censored Steam port, and the all-ages PS Vita port, DRAMAtical Murder Re:code. Understanding the context, nature, and availability of the "sex scenes" is essential for anyone looking to experience the full, uncensored narrative intended by developer Nitro+chiral, especially given the dark and sometimes non-consensual themes present in specific routes and bad endings.
Aoba Seragaki and the Main Cast: A Brief Profile
The story of DRAMAtical Murder centers on the protagonist, Aoba Seragaki, a young man living on the fictional Japanese island of Midorijima. He works at the junk shop Heibon and lives with his adoptive grandmother, Tae Seragaki. Aoba possesses a unique and dangerous ability called SCRAP, which allows him to enter and control people's minds using his voice, though a side effect can be "breaking" their minds entirely. This ability is central to the plot and the emotional intensity of his relationships.
The game is a Boys' Love (BL) Visual Novel, meaning the story branches into romantic/sexual relationships between Aoba and one of the main male love interests (LIs). These routes form the core of the explicit content.
- Aoba Seragaki (Protagonist): Adopted son of Nine and Haruka Seragaki. Possesses the SCRAP ability, often struggles with headaches and his dual personality.
- Koujaku: Aoba's childhood friend and a charismatic leader of the Ribstiez gang Benishigure. His route is often considered one of the more traditional and romantic.
- Noiz (Noizu): A young, wealthy German hacker and leader of the Rhyme team Ruff Rabbit. He is characterized by his inability to feel pain and his emotional detachment.
- Clear: A mysterious, masked man who is later revealed to be an obsolete Jellyfish-type android (or Mascot-Type Allmate). His route is known for its emotional depth and unique perspective on humanity.
- Mink: The ruthless leader of the Scratch gang and the most morally ambiguous love interest. His route is notoriously dark and contains some of the game's most controversial content.
- Ren: Aoba's loyal and sentient Allmate (a dog-like AI companion). The Ren route is the true route and is the most complex, dealing with themes of identity and self, and is the most infamous for its explicit nature.
- Virus and Trip: Twin antagonists and leaders of the Mizukagami gang. They have no dedicated love route but are the primary antagonists in the bad endings, where they are responsible for some of the game's most violent and non-consensual scenes.
The Explicit Content: A Route-by-Route Breakdown
The original 18+ PC version is the only one that contains the fully uncensored explicit scenes. These scenes, while providing sexual gratification, are also deeply tied to the psychological themes of the narrative, often representing a character's emotional breakthrough or a moment of psychological control/submission. The explicit content is not uniform; it ranges from tender and romantic to disturbing and non-consensual, which is why it is crucial to understand the context.
Koujaku and Clear: The "Vanilla" and Emotional Scenes
The routes for Koujaku and Clear are generally considered the "softer" or more traditional BL experiences.
- Koujaku Route: The explicit scene here is often described as passionate and rewarding, arriving after a significant emotional build-up where Aoba helps Koujaku confront his past trauma and his "other self." The focus is on mutual affection and release.
- Clear Route: Clear's scene is frequently cited as one of the sweetest and most emotionally resonant. It is a moment of profound intimacy and connection, emphasizing the emotional bond between the human Aoba and the android Clear. The physical act is a culmination of their emotional investment, not just a sexual release.
Noiz: The Context of Pain and Connection
Noiz's route uses the explicit scene as a tool for emotional healing. Because Noiz cannot feel pain, his interactions with Aoba are often centered around physical contact as a means of communication and a way to feel "something." The explicit scene is a pivotal moment where Noiz experiences a connection that transcends his physical limitations, making it a unique and meaningful part of his character development.
The Controversial and Darker Side of DMMD
This is where the game earns its 18+ rating and its reputation for dark themes. The explicit scenes in the Mink and Ren routes, as well as the bad endings, are starkly different from the main routes.
Mink Route: Non-Consensual and Violence
The explicit content in Mink's route is highly controversial. Mink's approach to Aoba is violent and manipulative. The route contains scenes that are explicitly non-consensual and involve physical assault, which is a key trigger warning for players. The sexual act itself is framed as a brutal, intense, and dominating experience, which some critics argue is necessary for the narrative's themes of power and eventual submission/freedom, but which many players find deeply disturbing. The sequel, DRAMAtical Murder re:connect, offers a less violent, more romantic follow-up to this pairing.
Ren Route: The Infamous Allmate Scene
The Ren route is the final, "true" route of the game and is perhaps the most famous for its explicit content. Ren is Aoba's Allmate, a dog-like AI companion. The controversy stems from the ethical and psychological implications of a sexual relationship with an entity that is both Aoba's pet/companion and a part of his own identity (as Ren is a manifestation of Aoba's suppressed inner self). The explicit scene is a complex, symbolic, and deeply psychological event that resolves Aoba's internal conflict and his relationship with his own mind.
Bad Endings (Virus & Trip)
The bad endings, particularly those involving Virus and Trip, contain scenes of sexual assault and violence. These scenes are meant to be genuinely horrific and serve as a consequence of Aoba failing to control his SCRAP ability. They are not intended for titillation but rather to highlight the dark psychological depths of the game's world and the trauma Aoba can endure.
Censorship and The 'Fresh' Version Question for 2025
For players seeking the full, uncensored experience in 2025, understanding the versions is critical.
- Original PC Version (18+): This is the only version with all the fully uncensored explicit artwork and scenes, including the darker content. This version is required for the full narrative impact.
- Steam Version: The version available on platforms like Steam is generally censored. The explicit scenes are still present, but the artwork is heavily cropped, usually showing only the upper half of the characters to avoid depicting genitalia. The dialogue and context remain, but the visual explicitness is significantly reduced.
- DRAMAtical Murder Re:code (PS Vita): This port is entirely all-ages. All explicit sex scenes were completely removed, and the violence was toned down. It added an extra route for the character Mizuki to compensate for the removed content. This version is for those who want the plot and characters without any explicit material.
In conclusion, the "sex scenes" of DRAMAtical Murder are more than just explicit filler; they are integral to the game's narrative, character development, and psychological exploration of identity and control. Whether you choose the fully uncensored PC version for the complete, dark experience, or the censored Steam version for a compromise, the emotional weight of Aoba's journey with Koujaku, Noiz, Clear, Mink, and Ren remains a powerful and unforgettable part of the Nitro+chiral legacy.
