content warnings and opt-out

[frogmarched]

Hashihime of the Old Book Town is a very heavy VN that warns for violence, sexual conduct, abuse, rape, mental illness, murder, discriminatory language, and suicide. Discriminatory language is mostly period-typical language regarding mental illness and homosexuality, and Kawase is not like to use those words anyway. His story and background specifically include the possible topics of:

+severe child abuse, both physical and sexual
+sexual assault
+abusive relationship dynamics, including victim blaming and coercion
+suicidal ideation and death-seeking
+patricide, committed by a child
+murder and violence, most prominently via suffocation or decapitation
+OCD, visual hallucinations, and general mental illness
+severe germaphobia, mysophobia, and haphephobia, related to the above
+World War 2 related content, including the military, air raids and bombings in Japan
+potential medical abuse and malpractice, related to the above

If any of these make you uncomfortable, please let me know here! Feel free to just avoid certain topics, or opt out of interacting with Kawase altogether for whatever reason. I will do my best to mark threads and posts for content warnings as necessary if they ever come up.

If you would like to avoid spoilers for the game as well, you can also say so here! Comments on this post are screened, so there's no judgment.
