Others - Completed - Panophobia [Final] [Black stain]

For the amount of atmosphere this game has, i would've thought that the h-scenes would share the same intensity. Also the gameplay is unfair but at least the checkpoints are forgiving.

Because of the trial and error gameplay, i give this a 3/5. However, splendid job on the atmosphere, psychological matter and the artwork.

A quite unique stealth-based side-scroller, simple and worth playing imo. Not perfect but one of the best of its genre.

Pros:
+ Good gameplay (stealth-based)
+ Great difficulty curve (hard, but lots of checkpoints)
+ 20 animated scenes
+ Many levels and enemies
+ Great horror ambience (but no gore happens to the MC)

Cons:
- Heavily censored

Overall I think it deserves 5 stars and I recommend playing it. While the art and gameplay might not look as polished as some other 5-star games at first, this developer has really understood how to make a good H-game. The difficulty is well balanced so that you will lose once in most levels, but respawn at a nearby checkpoint and advance without much trouble. As a result you can see a lot of CGs during gameplay.

Good arts and animations, but lack of gameplay. At the beginning there are dickish platforming section, but after that the are only two places where jump are required to progress.

If you expect to see something similar to demonophobia you wouldn see anything. There are some blood on floor and some monsters, but comparing to mentioned above game there are no blood at all.

If your a fan of horror porn, this is great. The horror aspect goes away a bit when you get used to the gameplay loop but the gameplay remains engaging enough throughout. By the end I was really just wishing there was more, though they would need to change some of it up if it were to continue, as it would probably be stale by that point.

graffics: good.

draws and animation: very good.

ambient: well done.

scenes (all of them): well done.

gameplay: is clever and well done, but a little stiffy.

story: is a good one.

conclussion: lets start for the weak part, the controls are a bit stiff
and i could use some polish on them. but if you cope with that, you are gonna find a really good time in your hands.


this game deserve your time and money.


psdt: try at least 10 times before discart this game.

Black Stain has always had beautiful, nicely animated art but the gameplay of each and every single one of their games is duller than a rusty butter knife. In all of their other games it was boring enough to make me not even want to finish the game and this doesn't seem to be any different.
Also, just a heads-up beforehand, this game needs japanese locale to run.

This might be the best non pixel hentai side scroller out there.
Let's see, the music was spot on, the creatures were pleasent to look at (Extra points for being creative in that aspect)
I felt some Silent hill 3 vibes?
Puzzles were not to hard, but hey way better than the random progression this kind of game usually suffer from.
Cute girl (THICC) Hiding from horrible monster while wearing a skirt (That's a win in my book)
Sex scenes were good, although not stelar. It did manage to hit some of my twisted fetishes in the end so... Yeah i recommend it

Pros: Good art, nice story, and a good amount of challenge(Not to hard not to easy).

Cons: No replay ability, the sound in not very good, and the controls can be cumbersome.

Over all a fun game that could use some improvements, I recommend playing through it once.
