Hmm... to be honest, I haven't played many VNs of this type, mostly because they don't really fit my tastes.
This is one of those dark horror/rape/sex training VNs that also happen to be based in the middle of the Cthulhu Mythos universe. To be precise, this one is based on an island that mirrors Innsmouth in the mythos. It is ruled by the Mashuu Family, and the protagonist ends up marrying the last daughter of that family, Mizuki. He also gets stuck with an immense power and the role of giving women over to the islanders as breeders.
I'll be blunt, while I liked the actual story, there is way too much dark H in this VN, for my tastes. It was made worse by the fact that I actually liked the 'heroines' and I didn't like to see the gang rapes that are part of the VN's story.
The funny thing is that the actual relationship between most of the heroines and the protagonist is actually... pleasant, most of the time. Given that is a Cthulhu Mythos story, it is inevitable that people go insane or fall under the control of evil. However, on the flip side, the girls are basically stained with darkness somewhere at the core from the beginning, and the protagonist, for all his own insanity and flaws, is something of a salvation to them.
I can't really say that any of the endings are 'good'. I did like Riri's ending, and the bad guys mostly got their just desserts in the true ending. However, I've never been fond of VNs that aren't utsuge where everyone goes insane to one degree or another, lol.
