Good game, nice aesthetics. The atmosphere and visuals are the standouts from this game. The gameplay is a bit clunky and esoteric though, I'd assume that is due to this being the company's first VN. I'd recommend this game, maybe at a minor sale price, and I'd recommend using a guide to ensure no unfair deaths (if you'd like).

I played this a while ago and I couldn't put it down. I actually really enjoyed it, especially the art style. I'd pay big money just for an art book of this and the NG game so I can use it as reference material because the lighting effects and general ambience is dead on (no pun intended). Some of the best I've seen in a visual novel personally. There are a handful of clunky mechanics but I didn't mind it too badly since I wasn't dealing with massive walls of text. I'd recommend it 110%.

Ever year I watch the same Lets Play on YouTube by the same content creator playing this game (around Halloween). I seen it was on sale and thought this year I'll be playing it myself. This has been my favourite visual novel by far for many years, since I first seen it truth be told. You could say... it's left it's mark on me.

It was a fun enough game and I can still replay to get the good ending if I feel up to it, but lost the plot a bit towards the end. TLDR: I really enjoyed the first couple chapters of the game. I liked that there is a mystery to be solved, but the ending felt like it was dragging on and I had issues with a bit of the game play mechanics. Also as a woman I hate when stories put women in sexual fetish poses while they are dying when it is supposed to be scary while the men never have the same happen to them (and it would be weird either way in my opinion but this shows how ridiculous and out of place they are) PROS: Art (except whoever approved certain pictures), sound, characters were likeable although discarded rather quickly, backgrounds for each ghost and their designs were unique and everything the character investigates in relation connect back to the main story. Game had a good amount of playtime and there is two endings that can be found as well as the DLC included when you buy the steam version. I would give this game a 6/10 because it didn't wow me but it started off really promising. CONS: There are certain moments where you have to answer from 3 multiple choices and survive by choosing the right answer but the problem was that the answer was either shown to you directly before plain as day or not shown at all and seemed like a guessing game. A lot I got from luck or logic rather than them having anything to do with the clues we found. You also can find many items that do nothing to what you need to do and I can only assume they want to throw you off but it again gets a little confusing. After chapter 3 it gets repetitive and not as fun or interesting as the first half. Ending sure it made sense, but also not the easiest explanation and I did not even get the good ending because I messed up on the very first ghost which meant even though I played another 20 hours it meant nothing as it would automatically become the normal ending. Maybe I will replay to get good ending as I do want to play the DLC that only unlocks after the good ending, but that means a lot of slow moments to backtrack through and even with the skip and speed buttons the live or die games are just as slow as ever. I would recommend this game for $20 maybe $25 but the price it has now is a little crazy considering finishing the game felt a little like a chore after such a good buildup to fall back down. Rant about rape and assault in this game if you want to read: As I mentioned earlier, in almost every chapter of the game there is an unneeded artwork of a woman or women in degrading positions while they are either dying or straight up already a corpse. I would get it if this game was advertised as that but it is not. These images appear out of nowhere, and one of them includes an underage girl with her clothes ripped off while the man also getting killed is FULLY CLOTHED RIGHT NEXT TO HER. Seriously threw me out of the game when they happened because I am no longer scared it was uncomfortable and disappointing. And how can you then have a story line where a ghost's background is that she went through an intense rape/assault that made her suicidal but not understand how these images are not okay for a game like this? Will only be buying the second game if the reviews do not say anything about this happening in that one also.
