This is one of the funniest pieces of media I've ever experienced and the best part is I really can't tell if it's on purpose or not. The Clock Tower series seemed to take itself seriously and then this came out. Everything about this game is just insanity. The actual gameplay is pure jank but then the cutscenes are choreographed and animated like a professional play. Most of the time you're running away and hiding with no way to defend yourself besides holy water but suddenly sometimes you awaken to your divine magical girl powers and summon a sky rending bow to chain your enemies who are all serial killers. This is like the Scary movie of horror games and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you. Thank you. Good bye, May. Good bye Mr. Norton. Good bye. Good bye. Thank you. Good bye. Good bye.

a satisfying mix of silly & scary, more so silly. i had a lot of fun enjoying the over the top motion capture, & the comedic timing among the baby jumpscares. it's like if silent hill 3 & devil may cry were combined for a goofy horror game. love it.

but after the doozy of a final boss it was hard to remember what i did like in the game. the boss fight combat was actually really fun for the other ones, but the final one was so hard i was actually screaming.

i laughed, raged, felt for the characters, enjoyed my notes & lore. pretty classic game! some of the music was absolute bangers & some could give resident evil's basement theme a run for its money. i played haunting ground before this & gotta admit they did the not-clock-tower themed stalker horror better in that one. nevertheless it was an entertaining night playing this game!
