Wow.. this game just plain sucks.
1. can only rest once in rest room but ONLY 2 of the party members can rest! WTF is this shit!
2. Always in a fucking hopeless state
3. Items in game are so fucking rare than the damn game makes you give them away!
4. Always in the fucking dark!
5. Fucking mazes for no damn reason but to be there
6. Characters die randomly for no fucking reason.. nothing like health on them so you can't even fucking tell if you need to use bandages or not
7. Resolution is total shit.. even if you go full screen it looks like shit
8. Too many fucking mobs always fighting some useless shit mob or actually battles got to shitty that even at level 7 I just started to escape everything.. There was no fucking reason to win there was no rewards
9. Inventory is fucking shit.. 3 items per person.. oh and primary item is total shit and useless.. can drink from bottle 3 times.. than stuck carrying around a shitty empty bottle instead of items you can actually use.
10. First Aid? Why it was never ever able to be used!
11. Anteseptic for poison for the one fucking time I got poisoned.. was better to just reload at last save than fucking carry around fucking bandages or antseptics
12. Story got fucking boring.. really boring.. I saw one damn scene in the hours of playing.. the girl being raped.
13. Rest Areas are broken after the second one they never fucking healed hopelessness or fear. They were a damn broken joke.
14. The only horror was how bad the game was and that I wasted 3 damn hours on it.
HOW THE FUCK DID THIS GAME GET A 5 FUCKING STAR! looking at a fucking small circle area in a damn maze when no reason to be a fucking maze.. game just plain sucks. This is total shit.
Let's help this Guy that not understood how this game works and make his experience better.
1- Activating the "rest" will make all party members fully healed, and The bed is JUST to make the characters you desire to be closer. what's the problem? >:3
2- Yep!! you're encouraged to fight some enemies and more often the ones that triggers fear damage as soon as the fight starts. the more your characters level up, the less encounters you will have. avoid walking in the shadows AT ANY COST.
3- no, they're not. i usually finish the 1st run of this game with 3 slots in the warechest filled with healing items that in the end i not even use. try to use "smallkey" or yachika's "lockpick" to open locked boxes and cabinets. if it says "locked", it can be opened.
4-if you not have seijirou in your party, use "matches". it's a vital item that MUST BE WITH YOU.
5-there's only one maze in a cave and to escape that you just need to go down. it's not even complex enoought to make you lost >:V
6-the "fear" meter are both HP and fear, and is recovered with drinks and food, as well with homura's waterbottle. bandages are used to cure bleeding, much like how they are used in survival horror games.
7-the game uses a approximate resolution of a real NES game. maybe you're used to see 8-bit games with big resolutions like shovel knight >:3
8-fight only when necessary, or when the enemies can be killed as soon as possible. leveling up is important to avoid unecessary encounters.
9-pretty much like how "Sweet home", a survival horror/rpg game from capcom that is the mother of all resident evil games, is. if you not even played that before, it's understandable why you're saying here since the game was totally based in that. the primary item is a vital tool if you knows what you're doing: use homura's water only in drastic situations, since it recovers ALL health, Mia's first aid kit cures every bad statuses like poison and injury (bleeding), Kippey's backpack let you carry 3 more items, Seijirou's lighter is used to light in the dark and a lot of situations, Yachika's lockpick opens all locked boxes, closets and doors that have no keys (roughly 90% of them), Rikana have a dictionary that is important to read important documents that uncovers the lore of the game and also will trigger certain events.
10- first aid cures all bad statuses, like poison and injury (bleeding), it's the same as bandage. are you sure you have played this game? >:V
11-almost every grotesque enemy in the game can poison you, you just need to receive the correct attack. curse also make you poisoned after a while, and Mia plays a vital role in the team,'s survival.
12- you say, h-scenes? this game is LOADED with that, but all of them will be triggered after certain events. now you knows to what the beds in this game are used for. this game is not a visual novel with lots of sex scenes for the sake of yes, try to be closer with your partner so you'll be able to have something :3
13-many of them are just save rooms. the ones that you can rest are just enought to make you closer with your partner. use cookies, water and all tips above and you wiill be able to finish this game easily. it's not hardcore, just a bit nes-hard in the first playthrough :3
14-your review is greatly worse than the game, as if you have watched a bad gameplay in youtube instead of playing it.
How it got 5 Stars? Thisa is just one of the most well sold and sucessful softwares in the DLSITE, so sucessful that FAKKU had interest in localising it. people that actually played it and are used with Sweet home or survival horror will really appreciate this game, it have a very well written story, a nice variety of monsters, and lots and lots of different routes and endings, so much that you must play it at least twice to get the true ending. why you just get it another chance and learn how to play it better? >:3
