About Severed Love
Severed Love is a point-and-click visual novel that blends mystery and body horror. Developed by Zakurosuke, it dropped on March 31 2026 for PC and Mac. You play as someone who wakes up missing all limbs and memories trapped in a looping nightmare involving a devil that severs body parts. The story unfolds through dialogue choices and environmental exploration. It’s a slow-burn narrative with surreal visuals and a focus on psychological tension. Expect a disjointed but atmospheric experience that leans into existential dread.
Gameplay
You navigate a fractured world by clicking to move and interact. Dialogue trees branch based on your responses to cryptic characters. Puzzles revolve around manipulating a prosthetic arm/leg system you regain piece by piece. The game cycles through time loops where your decisions ripple into new body states. Combat is absent; tension builds through environmental cues and fragmented lore. Sessions often feel like piecing together a nightmare, literally and figuratively. The interface is minimal, with a focus on static art and text.
What Players Think
Community ratings average 4.3/5 with 84% completion rate. Average playtime is 14 hours, though 32% finish in under 10. Moods are split: 35% eerie, 25% contemplative, 18% unsettling, and 12% curious. Critics praise its “haunting narrative design” but note pacing issues. One review says: “Feels like being trapped in a fever dream, beautiful but exhausting.” 68% of players unlocked 100% of achievements (25 total), with the hardest being “Survive All Limb Losses.”
PlayPile's Take
Worth it if you crave abstract storytelling over action. At $29.99 it’s a mid-length indie with replay value for branching paths. The body horror themes may unsettle some, skip if you dislike surreal body imagery. Achievements are plentiful but not grindy. Severed Love isn’t a perfect game but its bold risks and lingering unease make it memorable. Prioritize if you enjoy games like Doki Doki Literature Club but with a darker edge.
