so....idk where to start. i discovered this game from gab smolders on youtube. usually i cant really play horror games cuz they stress me out too much but since i realized this was a turn-based game that didnt require running away from things i wanted to give it a try. and let me just say, i started falling in love with it pretty quickly. so much so that even unnecessarily sexualized images of women who were victims of violent crimes (even d*ad women sometimes) were kind of bearable as i knew lots of visual noves games (esp. japanese ones) incorporated overly sexualized images of women to cater to their male audience. despite that, i LOVED the friendship blooming between the mark bearers, the suspense, thrill and plot twists. in order for me to really like a game, most of the time there has to a group of friends that are bonding over time together because it makes me want to play more in order to see what else they're gonna get through together. so i really liked that aspect, along with the stories behind the vengeful spirits, the mechanics and the mystery of it all. however, i have to say that the female victims always having to die extremely violent deaths that men don't or showing female victims in overly sexual positions that do not add ANYTHING to the plot nor the gameplay annoyed me very much. they already had a pretty good thing going on for the game in terms of the plot, the characters, the art and many more. catering to an audience full of horny incels who do nothing but objectify women's suffering doesn't do anything positive for the games legacy, if anything it destroys it. i still enjoyed the game thoroughly enough to immediately download the second one to play.

Very fun game, If your someone not like me who gets lost really easily when trying to figure out puzzles you'll have a ton of fun with this one, the art style is super good to look at and the monsters/ghosts are very neat.

although it talks about senstitve topics so maybe that would be a negative for some people

creepy as hell, would play again
