Bible Black: La Noche de Walpurgis (Spanish: Walpurgis Night) (Baiburuburakku - バイブルブラック La Noche de Walpurgis) or Bible Black: The Game is the first of two eroge computer games in the Bible Black series.
It was created by Sei Shoujo and developed by the Japanese company Active Software and released on the 14th of July. The game was translated to English and distributed by the American company Kitty Media.
The game was the direct inspiration for the later produced anime series of the same name.
A direct sequel to the game, Bible Black: The Infection, was released in 2008. This game is much shorter and largely unrelated to the events portrayed in the anime.

Gameplay
The game is a visual novel, with few interactive elements. The player is occasionally presented with clickable multiple-choice decision points, not all of which are relevant to the general plotline (see the Walkthrough section below). There are twelve different possible endings to the story, many of which end in the death of the player.
The story starts on Day 1 (April 20th) and, depending on the player's choices, can continue up to Day 11 (April 30th). None of the choices on the first day have an impact on the game's plot.

Like other visual novels, the player is given the option to fast forward or rewind through dialogue. He can also save and load the game at any point. In the game's Extras menu, one can access previously unlocked erotic scenes, background music and art. Additionally, the player can check which endings have already been played out.
The game is completely voiced and has some sound effects and music (see Soundtrack below). The music was later re-used in the anime adaptations.
Plot
The player, Academy student Taki Minase, finds a magic book in the abandoned basement of his school. He translates the occult writings and uses the ancient magic spells to influence the sexual desires of his classmates.
Teachers and students learn of his magical exploits and try to sway him to their side. Minase learns the mysterious history of school nurse and witch Reika Kitami, and art teacher Hiroko Takashiro tries to warn him about meddling with the powers of darkness.
The player can either give in to his desires, corrupting his mind with evil, or he can fight evil instead, protecting his cousin Yukiko and close friend Kurumi Imari.

Endings
- For the full game walkthrough, see Bible Black: LNdW Walkthrough.
The twelve possible endings to the game are described below, as well as the major decision points or triggers that determine each. The other player choices in the game are optional and do not influence the ending, including all decisions made on the first day of the game.
There are three types of endings: the True End, the best outcome for the player (Taki Minase), also used in the anime; Normal End (simply called 'End' in the game), where the player joins the wicked Kitami or betrays her to take her power for himself; Bad End, in which the player ends up dead or incarcerated.
For a more in-depth and step-by-step walkthrough on all decisions points, please check out the walkthrough's main article.[1]
- Warning: this list may contain spoilers.
True Ending
Ending 1 - Kurumi Imari
In this storyline, Minase turns down Kitami's offer of joining her ilk, an option only available after completing the game with a Normal Ending once (4, 6, 7, 9, 10, or 11). He escapes her clutches and joins forces with Takashiro to stop the witch from exchanging souls with his friend Imari. Kitami later burns the Bible Black, but not before Minase successfully copies the pages containing the Forbidden Spell, the only thing that can stop her. After fully decoding the spell, Minase and Takashiro head to the school basement on Walpurgis Night to stop the ritual. They succeed, and Kitami's soul is dragged to hell. The ending concludes with Minase and Imari finally being together again, closely resembling the ending in the anime.
- Don't give Ito a second thought
- Go for Imari
- Save Nonogusa
- Turn down Saeki (twice)
- Turn down Kitami (only available after seeing one good ending)
- Do it with Ms. Takashiro
- Drop the knife
Normal Endings
Ending 2 - Evil never dies
In this ending, Minase decides to murder Kitami and take over leadership of her and Saeki's coven, not wanting Imari to be sacrificed. He obtains an undiluted aphrodisiac from Takashiro and stabs Kitami with it on Walpurgis Night during the climax of the ritual, causing the witch to lose control of herself and die. Afterwards, Takashiro is likely murdered by Minase as well, and the blame for the entire basement incident is placed on her. Minase starts building his own evil empire, using the school to practice black magic. Along with his close followers Imari and Saeki, they use orgies and drug sales to gain vast sums of money.

Ending 3 - Deceivers
This storyline concludes with Minase giving in to Kitami. Her followers and the player overpower Takashiro, and Kitami succeeds in her soul-succession ritual, switching bodies with Imari. Takashiro is arrested for the murder of Kitami, as the witch uses her new body to implicate her. Minase participates in wild sex parties around the school, Shiraki eventually gets pregnant, but due to her numerous sexual partners it is unclear if the child is Minase's; they wallow in endless lust while their mistress Imari/Kitami prepares to obtain an even greater power.

- Go for Shiraki
- Plot a different way to use Nonogusa
- Turn down Saeki (twice)

Ending 4 - Rika Shiraki
If Minase ignores Ito, seduces Shiraki and confesses his possession of the book of magic to Saeki, this ending occurs. Minase is dumbfounded when finding his friend Imari brainwashed by Kitami into a perverted slave. He is tortured by her under Saeki's direction by being forced to have sex with her while unable to orgasm. Several months later, after Kitami successfully takes over Imari's body, she also uses Minase as a sex slave. He is forced to have sex with Shiraki every day on drugs. The girl eventually gets pregnant, but due to her numerous sexual partners it is unclear if the child is Minase's.

This rather quick ending happens when Minase ignores Kitami's offer to join her. She kisses him while forcing a capsule containing a super-concentrated dosage of an aphrodisiac down his throat. She has sex with him as the drug takes effect, but leaves him to die in the basement when it forces Minase into an endless torrent of ecstasy as he loses consciousness forever.
- Turn down Saeki (twice)
- Ignore Kitami
Ending 6 - Mika Ito
In this ending, Ito takes revenge on Minase for humiliating her with a spell and later ejaculating over her body. She confronts him on the Academy roof and injects his testicles with an aphrodisiac. The girl then forces a Q-tipWP down his urethra to prevent him from ejaculating. They have sex, and when Minase is finally released he orgasms indefinitely, causing his mind to slip into and endless stream of pleasure like in Ending 5, killing him as Ito leaves.

- (Choose either to Save or Use Nonogusa)

Minase manages to escape. After several weeks, he confronts Imari/Kitami in class with a gun. Without hesitation, he blasts her with two bullets and also murders her crony Saeki at point-blank range. Minase is arrested soon after. He explains to the police what happened to his friends, but is put in psychiatric observation. Sometime after, Minase is stunned when he discovers Imari/Kitami apparently survived his attack. The witch visits his cell to mock him, promising to visit whenever she feels like it.

He takes pictures of the two girls in the swim team locker room and blackmails them into doing him a sexual favor. Later, after Minase defies Saeki and Kitami, he is dragged to the locker room himself by Kobayashi and Mikimoto where they repeatedly abuse him. Nonogusa joins them and torments the boy by anal raping him and pumping him full of aphrodisiacs. To complete their revenge, they take photos of the spectacle as Minase again dies from exhaustion and endless pleasure.

He walks in on a vast orgy and confronts Kitami. However, when he tries to stab her, the witch uses some sort of magic persuasion, causing Minase to turn the knife on himself and plunging it in his neck.

However, when Minase obliges, the teacher stabs him with a hypodermic needle filled with an aphrodisiac as punishment for defying God and selling his soul to the Devil. The drug makes the boy ejaculate continuously as he slips into death from the pleasure overload.
