    This game is deceptive. At first, you think it's some sort of horror story with gruesome element. But contrary to what you might expect, in the end it's very funny and heartwarming and you keep playing for the story and the characters.

    The gameplay is pretty good. It's like a survival horror but in 2D. Basically you search for key items, run and hide from the monsters. You have also classic RPMG fight and minigames. Very creative, good writing and well executed. 5/5.

    Peak characters and peak story.
    All the characters are charming and super funny, I love all 6 of the main characters. The story is interesting and can get some surprisingly hype moments like you're watching an episode of Naruto/DBZ. The art is great especially the charming pixel animations.

    It's a good game with a great atmosphere and a nice story. I wouldn't say it's too long, it takes a few hours, but it's pretty fun. I've always found these types of games fun, so 5 stars.

    The story, as I said, is absolutely beautiful. It's not spectacular or flawless, but it's certainly adequate for an RPGM game. There are even nice plot twists in a few places. You can feel sorry for the characters in some parts and laugh in others. Each character has a different personality, you feel it. Which is important to have in games like this.

    The scenes and art are hot. The dialogues during the scenes are on point and well written. We have characters of all body types, which is a great thing. There is a disturbing scene though. Not because it contains loli (loli art doesn't bother me) but the situation described is really disturbing. If you want to know what happened, read the spoiler of the review below. It didn't spoil my gaming experience, but it might for some. Consider this before playing.

    Gameplay is nice. It has nice, easy and relatively minimal combat. It has a run-and-hide mechanic. Apart from that, you need to go to the right place and find the right items. Towards the end of the game, there was also an Undertale-like combat in which we played with Ikuha. That was truly good.

    So, if you want to play a game that is both silly and spooky and has hot scenes, I definitely recommend it.

    I have mixed feelings about this game. On one hand, it's a very well written horror-comedy! It has some very good comedic timing, and the gameplay isn't too tedious. The atmosphere of the hospital setting is well done, and it has some decent world-building around it.

    However, my experience was completely soured by one thing. The main antagonist the typical "looks young but is old" trope which is whatever, it can be ignored for the most part if you're not into it. But what killed my enjoyment is a particular scene in Ikuha (the blonde)'s story.

    You're entitled to your own opinion, but it was a deal breaker for me.

    Absolutely brilliant! It has very strange balance between horror, humour it hentai. Seems like it's shouldn't work but it does. And despite the absurdity the plot makes perfect sense (Hatsumari fan #2). H-scenes are very good, can be a bit extreme to some, but nothing too out there. Gameplay is a bit lucking, but it's not about that.

    And it's finished game! Would absolutely recommend to buy!

    A breath of fresh air in the Great RPGM Garbage Patch: a fresh concept, good writing, multiple stories (all linked), and simple, yet entertaining gameplay.

    Despite its appearance, the game itself is far from gory or horror-inducing: it's more like an American-style slasher - sure, there will be blood and missing limbs, but they're more likely to give you a good chuckle than a scare.

    I'm mostly deducting 1 star because while this game doesn't have any outstanding flaws, I wouldn't put it up there with the truly excellent ones.

    Rating final version 3.5/5
    Pros
    Really good art
    The voice acting is mostly a few moans here and there but it's additive a long with the sound effects for scenes
    Touches on a lot of fetishes some of which are rather uncommon
    Characters all seem interesting and unique to each other

    Neutral
    I was happy about it, but hardcore ryona and guro fans probably aren't going to be satisfied with the sexual violence as it's kept on the lighter side despite it looking like a gruesome, bloody horror game at the start
    Cons
    Maybe it was the scenario I picked, but I was getting chased by the monster every 2 seconds and barely had time to do anything else besides run and hide once he was active
    If you're not into horror rpgm gameplay that involves mostly running, hiding, and clicking on stuff to search, then you will probably be better off using the completed gallery save otherwise the gameplay gets pretty tedious.
    The animation is really just the cg shaking aside from some pixel animations so don't go in expecting much on that front

    Overall a unique game with interesting characters and art that I felt was held back a bit by the gameplay elements.

    The one point reduction is due to the lack of sexual content in True ending and post finished.

    Don't let the gore-ish cover fool you. The game is very light on gore (I can count it with one hand) and even in those cases it's "normal" light gore, not "weird sexualized" gore. The fetishes are also on the very light side - aside from the tentacles and futanari (which are all very vanilla), the rest are pretty much standard R18 art.

    The best aspect of the game is the writing. 4 heroines all have their distinct personalities. Still friendly reminder that the gyaru actually has the most depressing lore, and I'd argue is even darker than the horro elements much more.

    a real great game funny thing is that the game isn't really about gore or horror i mean sure there is blood, amputation and decapitation but its all in good fun its mostly about solving a mystery through different perspectives and its pretty wholesome
    combat is pretty easy and its nothing special
    story is intriguing and suspenseful
    characters are colorful to say the least
    gameplay was fun for me because i like exploring but the game reuses parts of map several times which could get boring
    as for endings there are multiple some worse than others but the best one was fun
    overall had a great time playing it 10/10 would play again

    Fantastic little game here. Honestly, went into this thinking the gore would be off-putting but it turned out to be few and far between all of the "shock gore" moments. The scenes themselves are good and very well drawn, though I wish it were animated. The story itself is very interesting and I'd love to see a sequel. Overall, a solid 8 hours spent.

    This is a good one. Despite being a lot of things I'm not into (tentacles, body horror, light gore) I still really liked this. The elements I don't care for were far more understated than other horror-themed games, and the story and atmosphere were enough to keep me going all the way through to the end. The gameplay sections have some rough edges, as seems to be the standard for RPGmaker, but I highly recommend.

    Love this game. I actually bought it and finished it same day. It won't take too long, and make absolutely sure to try to collect all the memories for the true ending!

    You basically play as 4 females who all go to a haunted hospital (Trying not to spoil things, which is kind of strange in a review, but this game is a must play and if it helps get you interested I'll stay secretive xD). You then get chased later on and have epic battles between good and evil! Heroes and Villains!

    This game has a lot of dead ends, which usually ends in a sex scene. You can also just unlock every scene from the shopkeep if you don't want to keep dieing.

    There's horror, comedy, epic fights, chase scenes, and even options to make all these things easier in the shop you unlock later on.

    The game is a horror VN made in RPG maker with some turn based combat and evading monsters who chase you. If you are not a fan of horror RPG maker games you should skip this one. The main focus is the story which is full of the characters' tragic stories which you get to experience first hand and their desperate attempts to survive. The story includes some really really messed up things, and no I am not even talking about the gore here.

    There's 6 chapters, let me summarize them for you:
    1 - Suffering
    2 - Suffering
    3 - Suffering
    4 - Suffering
    5 - The villain's backstory
    6 - Finally something positive

    Due to the horror atmosphere, the creepy music and the gore, the H-scenes are unfappable. And of course, don't bother losing on purpose to watch H scenes, luckily for you there's a shop to buy unlock tokens to unlock most of the gallery scenes.

    Also, the stupid ammount of collectible gathering you need to be able to activate the other 2 out of 3 total endings is absolutely stupid, if you want to see them do yourself a favor and upload someone's save.

    Considering all of the h games i've played recently, this ones got some art fun writing and the gameplay is simple only real downside i could consider is either i forgot there's a skip button or it doesn't exist.

    TLDR: Good story, very nice art, RPGM gameplay

    So yeah, there isn't too much I have to say about the game - story is pretty nice and interesting and then scenes are pretty well made (not too many sprites per scene tho). Only problem is that it's made in RPGM which is always a pain especially due to its horrible input system...

    Came for the Art.
    Stayed for the awesome Story. Gave me Black Souls felling's.

    There is Piss and Futa tags in it which are not avoidable for those who are not into it and it´s missing a skip option for repeating the Story if you missed some stuff.

    I was not expecting this game to be soooo goood, its clear that a lot of passion went into this. To me, the characterization really stood out, getting to know each unique character through routes was really fun (Hastsumari fan #1), and I'd personally like to thank the translation team for doing such a great job handling the dialogue, I love each interaction the characters had. The lore and K-Reports were also really interesting to follow along, there's tons of foreshadowing which I had fun speculating with.

    Even though the gameplay was pretty simple, I just love it whenever gameplay elements are employed for story telling, which combined with sexy stuff is the ultimate root of my eroge addiction :>

    There is basically no horror to this horror game, cept all the gorey stuff but it's not that bad. I'm a fan of this game's comedy and it's fun little slice of life moments too. There's a lot of fetishized content I disgustingly enjoyed, but even if you aren't into the content the art is still really nice to look at.

    Overall please purchase the game if any of you enjoyed this game as much as I did, I would love to see more from this developer.

    This game is weird, wild, and wonderful.

    As far as survival horror or turn-based RPGs go the game itself is nothing too amazing and relatively easy, but the artwork and sprites are very well done.
    By far its strongest point is its writing, its cast of bizarre yet lovable freaks creates a unique and interesting story and an emotional rollarcoaster ride.

    Be warned there is a decent amount of mild-moderate blood and gore.

    Fairly simple little game, not much to gameplay beyond inspecting everything in the enviroment and ocasionally hiding during chase scenes. There's also a few very simple battles but they're not really worth noting. Honestly this could've been a VN abeit a very short one. The main focus is the story and while I have to give it points for being better than what usually passes as story in porn games it loses just as many points for the tonal whiplash. It's mostly going for horror comedy but there's more than a few points (mostly the blonde girl's story path) where it way oversteps the line and just ends up being depressing, which in turn causes the attempts at comedy to fall flat.

    TLDR: More VN than game, story can't decide on a tone.
