Slow Damage (スロウ・ダメージ) is a Japanese BL visual novel developed by NITRO CHiRAL. It was originally released on February 25, 2021, for Windows PCs. The game was published in Japan by NITRO CHiRAL, and overseas by JAST USA. The story was written by Kabura Fuchii, with Uiro Yamada as the main artist. The game follows Towa, an artist who tries to paint "human desire" by finding ideal people that he refers as his 'models'.
The game takes place in Shinkōmi, a fictional region in Japan that is run by the yakuza and where crime is rampant.[1][2] The main character, Towa, lives an unhealthy lifestyle, frequently abusing alcohol and smoking cigarettes. His sole hobby is painting[2][3] and he gets himself in exceedingly dangerous situations to find new models to paint, often getting himself hurt during the process. His goal is to paint "human desire".[1]
The story branches off into different routes, each focusing on one of his potential love interests. Only two routes are available at first, with two more routes unlocked later in the game.[2]
