History VisualNovel / RagingLoop

* YouLoseAtZeroTrust: Some of Haruaki's earliest deaths can come from not being trusted enough by the town to avoid being mistaken for a monster and executed.

Described by some as "What if ''TabletopGame/Werewolf1997'' was a visual novel?", ''Raging Loop'' (Japanese: レイジングループ; also written in Japanese versions as ''Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P'') is a work distributed by Creator/{{Kemco}}. Originally released for mobile phones in Japan in 2015, it received a UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita port in 2017, and was later ported again to consoles and PC for an international release, with fully-translated English becoming available by December 2019.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Loop" can refer to the GroundhogDayLoop Haruaki is trapped in, but it also sounds similar to the Latin word "Lupus", referring to the raging beasts that appear at night (as well as the game ''TabletopGame/Werewolf1997'').

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:When Haruaki decides to loop as many times as possible with Chiemi to find other ways to break the loop, he fails to account for the fact that Chiemi is already undergoing some SanitySlippage given how many times she's looped, which eventually causes her to snap and become convinced that the way to break the loop involves killing Haruaki a bunch of times.]]

* ThePromise: During the ''Wit'' route Haruaki makes one with Rikako, motivating her to stay alive through the feast by swearing to each other Haruaki Fusaishi and Rikako Uematsu will live to see the end of the Feast and will each fulfill one wish of the other's if they both survive (with the implication he's giving a WackyMarriageProposal). At the end [[spoiler:of the ''Myth'' arc Rikako -- now revealed to be both aware of the time loops and the BigBad -- tells Haruaki that since they've both 'survived' to this point she wants her promise fulfilled and asks him [[WeCanRuleTogether to join her in unleashing the Tsuchigumo]]. Haruaki counters with TheReveal that [[LoopholeAbuse "Haruaki Fusaishi" is not his real name and such a person doesn't exist]], making his promise to her null and void. Even Chiemi and Haru, who very much want Rikako stopped, are disgusted by "Haruaki" being willing to weasel out of promises like that.]]

** Haruaki manages to bond with several of the villagers through shared interest in pop culture. Chiemi likes ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', Kiyonosuke obsesses over ''LightNovel/NinjaSlayer'' and Haru is a fan of ''Franchise/StarWars''.

* ArcSymbol: The diamond with a spiral pattern in it, representing a wolf's eye. It appears in the pendant seen on the title screen (and in this page's image), at the beginning of each in-game day, and several times when the mythos surrounding the local myths of Yasumizu are being discussed.

** In the ''Darkness'' route, [[spoiler:when Haruaki decides who out of Chikamochi, Yudai, and Yasunaga the wolves should kill, Kaori reveals that she already made the decision for them and unlocked the victim's door ahead of time -- it's Yasunaga.]]

* GroundhogDayLoop: The main draw of the story is that Haruaki is caught in one, allowing him to use the knowledge from failed outcomes to survive as long as he can.

Haruaki Fusaishi, our protagonist, is a young man that gets lost in the mountainous region of Japan while trying to cope with some major changes in his life. He's rescued by a woman from Yasumizu, a settlement so remote that it is not on any map. Unfortunately, soon after he arrives, an ominous mist appears that signals the beginning of a dangerous tradition. The mountain god has chosen a handful of people to become monsters in the night, and the village must deduce who among them are the beasts, and execute them before they are all killed. As an outsider, Haruaki is immediately put under suspicion, but he does have one advantage...he's stuck in a TimeLoop, and can use his memories of failed outcomes in order to find a path to survival.
