The game has really good visuals and an interesting interrogation gimmick whenever the curse powers are involved. I like the characters and overall spooky atmosphere. The story is good, it has some nice twists, but the ending kinda sucks.

It is hidden by backtracking all the way through one of the initial chapters, and this isn't indicated anywhere, in fact the game goes out of its way to obfuscate it by naming one of the random endings "Conclusion" despite not being the real ending, so I bet most players just closed their game right there.

Hell, the Storyteller even seems to know that it's bad and tells you to just headcanon your own ending if you don't like it... mine is Harue's, I consider it better than the real one, she did nothing wrong.

Despite fumbling its ending, I'd still recommend this game if you're looking for a spooky VN to play for about 10 hours, I had fun.

I might be alone in this, but i think the true ending was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it made me like the rest of the game less.

The story is really cool and really intresting and then the ending is painfully mediocre its almost commical like whaddya mean all character growth was reverted

Not the kind of game I'd expect from Square Enix, but it's very welcome. Finished the prologue and I'm hooked. Mildly spooky game featuring people with very particular but very lethal abilities.

Only real gripe is that the art is very low res, especially the backgrounds. The characters aren't so bad but the game will very often do a really tight closeup on their faces and you can see the artifacting very clearly. I guess they didn't tell the artist to work "4k ready". Though for that matter the game doesn't even allow you to set a display resolution above 1920x1080, but even at that resolution the visuals really don't feel super up to snuff for playing on bigger screens.

But they're very stomachable gripes, check it out.

interaction with user is way beyond common practice.

Play it, at the time of writing this its 12€, its worth so much more than that.

A rather interesting mystery game involving the paranormal, local myths coming to life, and multiple cases that all seem to converge together to make a fun path of twists and turns. I will admit the game can be a bit odd at times, especially if you are achievement hunting, and the ending is a little odd but I enjoyed my time playing the game and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My primary criticism would be that the game makes it seem like it will be a more visual novel horror mystery game with a load of jumpscares. I can honestly say that once you make it out of the tutorial (the moment you unlock something known as the story chart) the game tends to rarely if ever attempt any jumpscares.
