Art & Music:
This game looks amazing with beautiful artwork, hand-drawn backgrounds, and captivating sprites. Sometimes, there might be a few language hiccups due to auto-translation. The soundtrack has over 50 awesome songs that perfectly match the spooky visual novel vibe.

Verdict:
This game stands out because it has lots of different endings—some good, some not so good. There are three romantic interests and plenty of dangerous paths to explore, making it fun to play again. Your choices can even change who the killer is. Even though it's reasonably priced, you can tell the developers put a lot of effort and love into it. If you like horror visual novels with lots of choices and endings, this one is a good pick.
