Synopsis
That cage—is it hell or paradise?
When he woke up, he found himself in a white room he had never seen before—
"The game shall now begin."
To escape from this room, Keisuke must act as the "Key-opener," designate one of the heroines as the "Keyhole," and perform specified acts to "unlock" it.
Miyako, in a fit of rage, loudly rebuked the "mysterious voice" for the content of those absurdly extreme and immoral acts.
Suddenly, the room went dark.
The girls let out panicked cries.
When the white space was once again enveloped in white light, what met their eyes was the sight of Miyako, restrained by a strange torture device.
"Those who abandon the game shall die."
The moment the words fell, the device emitted an electric current.
Her wails and cries intensely stimulated the heroines.
However, Keisuke felt an inexplicable (sexual) excitement at the sight of Miyako.
Keisuke has a secret.
He hides a desire for women deep within his heart—a taboo impulse that must not be known by anyone.
But Keisuke's secret was seen through by Nemu.
Using the secret as leverage, Nemu forced the protagonist to obey her and kissed him.
"This is a kiss of contract."
While shaken by Nemu's unexpected actions, Keisuke resolves to violate the heroines in order to protect his precious person, Kanae, and to escape from this place.
Will Keisuke be able to safely escape from the white room and return to his normal life?
Or will he sink into his own dark impulses...
—The one who decides the ending is, naturally, you as the protagonist.

Walkthrough
Notes:
1. Due to a Windows 10 update causing missing DLLs, the localized version of euphoria (HD) cannot run properly. You need to download 'sxs.dll' to the same directory as the executable to play.
2. From the second playthrough onwards, you can choose "End Exploration" to skip the exploration process without affecting the plot development.
3. Please do not exit the game when the staff credits appear. There is a significant amount of story after the ED, especially in Nemu's route and the Euphoria route; that ED is actually just an OP, and the true beginning follows.
4. In order of gradual plot progression,Recommended walkthrough order: Rika Route → Natsuki Route → Rinne Route → Nemu Route → Kichiku Route → Euphoria Normal End → Euphoria True End.
5. If you choose different people for the keyhole five times, you will enter the Escape End: the game ends upon escaping from underground, and the ED only appears once.

Anime Version
The anime version was produced by the animation companyMajin, asHentaiaired, and the story adopts aparallel worldmode, where each episode corresponds to a certain route of the game, but the plot of each route in the anime version has been significantly adapted compared to the original game, and many world-building settings are different from the original gameeven the settings of the anime itself differ between episodes, especially the fifth episode of the anime (corresponding to the game's TE), which is entirely original anime content, so the anime version can basically be regarded as an official doujin work by the anime production team.

Keisuke and the six heroines are confined in a white secret room.
To escape from this room, Keisuke must act as the "Key-opener," designate one of the heroines as the "Keyhole," and perform specified acts to "unlock" it.
"Those who abandon the game die," a mysterious voice said.
Inside, Keisuke gradually awakens his (long-buried) desire for women.
Will they be able to safely escape the white room and return to their daily lives? Or...
The novel version of CLOCKUP's new work "euphoria," which became a topic of conversation for its shocking content that challenges moral boundaries, "Euphoria: Another Room."

This book also includes additional illustrations by the original artist, Hamashima Shigeo.
