V1.04
not played this one for some time, but have fond memories.
still in my top 5 VN's of all time as a double hitter behind F/S night's UBW.
i do remember it was a tricky read and i hit many dead ends before i finally found a half decent guide to routes for both, but the story was great to me. i don't think i have read another horror VN that comes even close.
it may be that my memories are rose-tinted as i had a small fascination at the time of other things japanese and especially their cinematic style of 'sinister', something hollywood normally fails at and turn to typical jump scare scenes to surprise the audience, not exactly horror.
this also translates into VN's as i do remember finding this one a little sinister and much more horrific than bible black, which is probably the closest competition for a horror VN that i have read.
but then tastes vary and we all are different. after all, i was the only person i know these days who did not see the twist ending at the end of sixth sense coming, even though all 3 times i see it at the cinema the whole audience gasped at the same point causing an ear-popping vacuum. so you might like this one or it may frustrate you. only one way to truly know.
i personally read the original 2011 release, the first western release, which was uncensored. not sure why this has been re-translated as i certainly don't remember it being ingrish. money for old rope possibly?
worth playing both. just play at night in a dark room bwahahaha
