Charon is an game developer circle, primarily lead by individual Kaoru Nekofuji. Their earlier works primarily used pixel art, as well as photographic, usually pixelated backgrounds. However, this pixelated style is not as commonly seen in later works. Most of their works are usually themed around yanderes and menhera, often with horror and erotic elements.
Style[]
Charon tends to make visual novel-styled games, often revolving around menhera. Their earlier games included some gameplay, but with a heavy emphasis on story rather than gameplay, however later games include no gameplay. The male leads in their games seem to end with "-rou" at the end, something common in Japanese boys' names. They also reuse a save point simply called "Bunny", also known as "Usagi" or "Usa".
Early Charon games used free to use music, similarly to other games at the time. However, they've hired composers for original tracks in later works such as Vanilla: Garden of Judgement.
Like other games, Charon's games most often have multiple endings determined by player choices. Until Menherafflesia, which also included "Happy" ends, their games only contained Bad and True ends (With the exception of Shihori Escape which had an "Episode End"). Dice Psycho introduced IF ends, and fan disc endings are commonly only referred to as 'the end'. Occasionally, games may include unique end names, such as the 'Another end' from Utsuro Nikki.
