    Pros:
    Art. Pretty good art, but I'm a little concerned on how popular piss is. I wish there were more scenes. The only technically NTR scenes occur in the endings, of which there are two.
    Story. The story was pretty short, but good. It was only somewhat ruined by actually including porn. I think that if it was just a short story without sex, it would've been fine, and would've helped the pacing a lot.

    Cons.
    Horror. The horror aspect was severely underutilized, and kind of wasn't capable of running throughout the game's entire run time. There are some things that give an eerie feeling, but they pretty much vanish in favor of chases, which aren't even hard and kind of exist only to waste time.
    Puzzles. These puzzles are sometimes extremely hard to figure out, which might not be helped by the translation. You gotta jump over a gap despite having no indicator. The horse heads need to face each other. The answer to the zodiac room is 7.

    Manages to be a cheap hentai game without being a bad one. Definitely inspired by Abaddon: Princess of Decay.
    The game succeeds in creating a horror atmosphere and a bit of superficial player choice.
    There are a handful of puzzles, but they can be solved by running around clicking on objects or checking the posts here: they pad the play-time but not to an insulting extent.
    The translation is decent, all things considered.
    The h scenes aren't exceptional in any way but they're contextualized well in the story. There are mistakes: Sumiyo can lose her virginity twice in the same route, for example.
    Don't expect too much, but I would recommend this game for ntr fans interested in the premise.

    A fairly straitforward puzzle RPG. Not a master piece but worth a quick playthrough.
    Puzzles aren't too hard (completed all of them except one without looking up answers) although sometimes you have to run around searching for progression. However map isn't that big so it isn't a problem.
    Gameplay is fairly restrictive, feels a bit like kinetic novel (not a bad thing but i personally prefer more freedom). Regardless of your actions game has preset path and will only progress after you trigger next part. So despite the ability to run around there is no reason to actually do it, you will not find some hidden interaction or smth.
    Art is good, however there isn't huge amount of it (about 23 scenes and to view some you have to purposefully choose wrong / get gameover).
    Story has good set up but lacks punch line. It feels surprisingly short/empty despite being complete. Honestly it does its job well enough, but still leaves you wishing there was more to it.
    NTR is lackluster. This is one of those cases where ntr tag is technically correct but game lucks the *spirit*.
