The Song of Saya is a suspense psychological horror lolicon eroge visual novel by Nitroplus. The original plot was written by Gen Urobuchi, who took inspiration from reading Lovecraft novels during a lonely time in his life.In 2009, an English fan translation ρá†ch was released. Later, in 2013, JAST USA released an English localization on their digital platform using a revised version of the fan translation and also re-released it physically via the DVD-ROM format in 2020 for outlets such as J-list with a more modern VN engine. A Chinese version was also released by Kagura Games in co-publishing with JAST for Steam, also running on the new engine, though this version arrived heavily censored. The VN was released on GOG under the moniker of "Directors Cut", although no changes were made to the originally intended writing or visuals.A three-issue comic book based on Saya no Uta, called Song of Saya, has been produced by IDW Publishing. The monthly issues were released from February though April 2010. This westernized take was panned by critics for being unfaithful to the source material at best to avoiding and sanitizing the heavy and unsettling plot points touched on in the VN and not showing understanding of the original work at worst.A feature film adaptation is currently being developed by Sav! The World Productions, although no news has been shared since 2017.
