DANG THAT WAS SURELY SOMETHING ELSE
Every case is meaty this time, not just that we directly need to face with the ghosts and their problems this time rather than escaping it. We need to solve their problems for them so they can leave the world peacefully but damn what interesting stories they are. War veterans? Here. School bullies? Here. Suicides? Here. Etc.
How we find them still feels a bit forced tho in my opinion. No, especially even more forced here. Like the previous game baka Mika forces other girls to discover the truths behind the ghost rumors but it feels forced too much because realistically after the near death experience from the case that ended on a cliffhanger(like really it ends on a literal cliff, on a hill) you would say no. But I guess it's... a game. Still I have to say it bothers me.
If we pass that and return to the cases. Yeah they are amazing. My favorite one is the school one tho. In my opinion that's how you do a school bullying story. It's unsettling. It's spooky. It's emotional. It's... Really heartbreaking...
I have a grudge against school bullies so that episode hit me even more. Also it's pacing was perfect as well (also eat your heart out lost judgment! That's how you do a school bullying story, with directly confronting everyone rather than spending unnecessary 4 hours with infiltrating a school and failing to get any real answers anyway)
But If I like this game that much why not 5/5? It's because unfortunately there is one single major flaw this game has. It's skipping to the credits the moment case gets solved and that's really unsatisfying. I mean previous game did this as well but they didn't had to continue this flawed idea in my opinion. Let me give you an example, remember the case I talked about the bullies at the top? Yeah that case ends so fast that, the supposed redemption arc of bullies feels empty. It's just a couple of sentences and bum. Credits... That's it?
That's not nice tho is it? You are supposed to finish the character stories properly too! Not just the story itself! But unfortunately game does that again and again. That's why even tho cases are amazing, I can't get the full satisfaction of it.
I wish they push the characters just a little bit more, with just a little push the game itself could turn into a something magical who knows. Unfortunately that's the end product.
But even tho I complained a lot. I still enjoyed a lot. Hopefully it gets translated properly one day too!
Also I guess I am finally ready for Suda's moonlight syndrome. Ehm. Here we goo.
