While I have to admit off the bat this was sort of a slog for me I don't think it was a bad game by any means. The art style isn't my favorite but it has sort of a cartoon network kind of charm and really goes hard on the well-loved in Japan trope of "kimo-kawaii" or "gross-cute" or whatever. The gameplay also has some great ideas with the occupants of the hotel who want to do in you in gradually increasing over time. The biggest complaint I had was how mundane and simple so many of the tasks were for setting up a soul steal. I would've liked some more in depth puzzles or more chances to get to know the characters in a deeper way but most of the time I would get a soul and be surprised at how little work it took. I also wish the "horror show" segments and chases were more intense but I'm kind of a glutton for punishment when it comes to horror games.

The relatively star-studed Japanese cast of voice actors do a great job but tbh Judgement boy in English steals the freaking show.
