Pretty short five chapters simple mystery game with otome flavor. No voice overs and only two endings, one for each male character. One path story for both males up to the ending, which is decided by few affection choices up to that point. All bad dialog choices and mystery solve fails lead to short game over endings.

Não cheguei a terminar, porém até onde joguei posso dizer que os personagens são bonitinho e a história estava descente
Game #42: Gothic Murder: Adventure That Changes Destiny
It was pretty mediocre. Story, plot and characters were not really interesting. I thought this would be a hidden gem just like The Vigilant Villa but seems like I was wrong.
5/10

Short mystery game about being a maid and trying to stop the lord of the manor from being murdered.
It’s not a particularly deep story. Internal logic of the plot doesn’t often make sense as well as the things you need to present. The plot twists are really telegraphed and easy to predict. I remember reading about how vn otome game players HATE when their protagonists are active individuals with opinions. The PC is dull as dishwater and doesn’t seem to have a motive other than “ooh solving mysteries is kinda fun.” None of this is helped by a wonky translation.
Beyond all that though... I kind of liked it a lot? Sure, it could be a grim look into the social divides and abuse of servants by the rich, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s just a goofy Nancy Drew style adventure. Can’t complain about that.
Wait, it wasn’t gothic or murder at all! Never mind, 0/10
