Darkest otome you’ve ever played?

Can I say Haruka 3 Benkei is dark in the realistic way. There are already fantasy darkness and pschological darkness titles mentioned above so.
Also, most games above are about dark LIs but, the protagonist in Distorted Code is quite dark.

I particularly like Black Wolves Saga, Sweet Clown, Taisho Alice, Piofiore, well balanced.
Virche Evermore is a package of darkness that you might feel numb gradually.
Hana Awase I feel is more graphical/physical violent/dark.
SINs of Kaleido is somehow much lighter than I expected probably because the protagonist is... very trustable.
 
Tilkett's route in Sins of KALEIDO is one of the darkest routes I've ever seen!
 
NOISE ~voice of snow~ is one of the darkest otome games I've played so far, which isn't particularly surprising considering that Operetta and Operetta Due are known for exploring dark and unsettling themes in their games.
 
A lot of Kinshiiku's work is very dark, but one takes the cake. Their debut otome game.

Sakutto Panda. Just... Sakutto Panda.

It was the second visual novel that ever made me start sobbing.

Some of the fucked up shit that happens in the game to the heroine:

  1. Her bullies nearly get her raped until she is saved by one of the two primary male heroes. By the way, nearly getting raped happens more than once.
  2. Suddenly her boyfriend at that time goes insane and seemingly murders the entire school (he didn't actually do it) and fucking dies
  3. Her "romance" with her mentor 19 years older than her, Kowloon, is actually a very accurate depiction of grooming, but I thought it was just romanticized or normalized, but no I was wrong.
  4. The mentor eventually betrays her in the third game after grooming her for the first two games. He then proceeds to murder Kotatsu's mother in front of her, violently rape her, screams at her for taking a shower without permission, dislocates or breaks both of her legs, keeps her hostage, forces her to eat shit and bugs to survive, and potentially kills their unborn child after months of contstant rape and torture. (Fourth game implies she wasn't pregnant after all, but Kowloon is an unreliable narrator) Understandably, the protagonist gets horrific PTSD and is understandably unable to forgive him.
  5. Kotetsu watches her friend die, before her mentor sacrifices himself too for her (as if it makes even a fraction of the shit he did right)
Kowloon
is the most evil otome hero I have ever encountered. He is despicable. I am very happy he didn't end up with Kotatsu after all the shit he put her through.
