was introduced to this game thru fanart and cosplay and was pretty let down at first. i expected a lot more horror value out of this game and was very disappointed at how cop-out it felt. just desperately hitting all those analog horror cliches trying to evoke Something and it didn't ever work. and the story has a lot of holes it didn't fill that could've made it scarier (exhibit a: the completely unexplained lanky spider creature that "jumpscares" you during bad endings). despite this, the game has a cute set of main characters and very good replay value. i think it gets better as you play it more thanks to the fact that there's so many different routes and easter eggs to find instead of it just being a dreadful exact repeat every time. and i think the live action portions were a very cool addition! if the game had based itself with more of that i think that would've upped the creepiness factor. overall i'm very 50/50 with how i feel about this game
