In that sense, most Nitroplus games are utsuge. 

And what feelings does that provoke in you? I think thats a deciding factor if utsuge should be one of a titles genres.

Satsukoi comes pretty close, as does Nirvana... but neither quite gets there.  Muramasa is so much a chuunige that I don't naturally consider it an utsuge, lol.

Very late post, but can't they be both at the same time? Chuunige is the entirety of the VN afaik, but utsuge is more or less about the ending. Superpowered action with superpowers and whatnot to save someone the main heroine, but then she dies the moment she's within grasp and the protagonist goes around like a empty shell for the rest of his life, just as an example. Gurann lagann anime did it.
