Overview

Ad Nauseam - The Wrong Side is a psychological horror visual novel developed and published by throwpup, released on October 24, 2026. It blends adventure, RPG, and point-and-click mechanics into a narrative-driven experience.

The story follows Tsurine, a woman who, after undergoing intense reconstructive surgery, sets out to find her missing family and uncover the truth behind her own mutilation. What begins as a personal quest quickly spirals into a web of grand conspiracies far larger than she anticipated.

Genre Fusion: Combines visual novel storytelling with RPG elements and point-and-click exploration, offering a unique gameplay loop.
Choice-Driven Narrative: The game remembers every choice you make, ensuring your decisions shape the story's outcome.
Thematic Contrast: Features a striking mix of glitter, gore, and girls, creating an unsettling yet visually distinctive atmosphere. The content includes sparse but intense gore and violence, plus one instance of artistic medical nudity.

Who It's For

This game is ideal for players who enjoy psychological horror with a strong narrative focus, especially those who appreciate visual novels with branching stories and meaningful choices. The LGBTQ+ and romance tags suggest inclusive storytelling, while the female protagonist and anime aesthetic may appeal to fans of character-driven indie titles.

If you like stories that blend personal trauma with conspiracy theories, this will likely resonate.
