Azurael's Circle: Chapter 4

Absolutely loved this game and found the addition of checking out more territories than one big place refreshing for this series. Great murder mystery and puzzle solving in this game. I got stuck several times and didn't even get mad because it's just enough of a challenge to be enjoyable with out rage quitting. Some things are right under your nose and others are completely hidden easter eggs that only the most persistent will find XD The story is only getting better and I can't wait to see the conclusion of it all in Chapter 5! This is a pixel horror GEM.

面白かった！ ホラー、オカルト系の謎解きが好きな方におススメです。 【ストーリー】 プログラマーのライアン・リンチは、転職に伴い小さな町に引っ越した。 そこで開いたホームパーティの翌日、パーティに出席していた近所の家族が消えた。 自宅の前には血痕が飛び散っていて、家の鍵が落ちていた。拾って家に入るライアン。 隣人家族の行方を調べているさなか、マスクとマントをつけた謎の人物が現れる。 無言で立ち去る謎の人物はいったい何者なのか。消えた家族の行方はどこなのか。 【良かったところ】 ・２Dだから酔わない！ ・ストーリー展開が早い ・サクッとプレイできて、しかもマルチエンディング ・精神的な怖さのホラーやオカルト系が好きな人は楽しめる ・わかりやすい英語。勝手に字幕が進まないので、わからない単語を調べながら自分のペースで進められる ・謎解きの難易度が丁度いい～低め ・シリーズもので1話目が無料かつ２～４話目もお安い 【残念なところ】 ・3話目ほど内容が濃くなかった ・無駄を省きすぎていて、主人公含めて登場人物に共感できない（キャラ設定が3話目までのより薄い印象） ・シリーズをプレイしてないと意味不明なシーンが出てくる 【プレイした感想】 無料の1話目をプレイした時、すでに２、３話目が発売になっていたので即買いしてプレイしました。 もう次はないのかな、と思っていたら4作目が出て、また即ポチっとしました。 何より、ストーリーが好き。イギリス英語だと思うのですが（ズボンをtrousersと言っていたので）、とても読みやすいというか、簡単な英語でわかりやすいので、単語を調べるために中断することがほとんどなくて助かりました。 ホラー系は苦手なので、音を小さくしていますが、あるシーンではビクッとしてしまい、動悸が激しくなることもｗ 私はゾンビ系や暗闇探索系はだめなのですが、何かが襲ってくることのない精神的ホラーやオカルトは好きなので、Azurael's Circleシリーズはとても楽しめました。 プレイ時間は短いけれど、プレイした後に余韻が残るし、毎回「続編は出るのかな？」と期待してしまいます。 シリーズもので毎回主人公が変わる、というのがこのシリーズの特徴であり、良いところだと思います。 5作目が作られるのかわかりませんが、発売されたらもちろん買います。 もっとお高い値段設定でもいいんじゃないかな、と思ってます。

Yes, but with a caveat... it is considerably shorter compared to the other ones. I hope this isn't how it ends. Waiting for number 5.

Outra história bacaninha dessa série. Tem menos puzzles dessa vez, e a exploração foi mais valorizada. Eu acho que podia ter mais conexões com os episódios anteriores, mas enfim foi um jogo rapidinho que até que valeu o preço.

This one was good, like the previous ones. Similarly, you're a different character experiencing the problems that arise from Azurael's Circle. There's a good amount of mystery and, if you've been paying attention to the other games, you should be able to figure a few things out before they're revealed. I discovered three endings. Not a whole lot more to say. There were a couple difficult puzzles, but nothing too bad. I'd say any retro-mystery-thriller fan would like this.

I would love to see more games like this. 10/10

It's a horror RPG Maker game that plays more like an Adventure game. It's worth your time, trust me. The whole series is! I'm just gonna put this review for each chapter :P Ok, maybe not the EXACT same review, but still. This is worth the time.

Is a well made indie series of Point and click Mystery/Exploration/Puzzle games built around the cult of this "Azurael" will not spoil the story but I think the creator deserve some praise for coming up with the original idea and highly suggest others players to go and try these games. (For those who know the Chzo Mythos and like Supernatural mysteries they would love this little gems) Personally this 4th chapter come a little short in confront the others (got me doubt of a certain character at the begin but frankly excluded her and reading the diary of the pregnant woman got me realize who was the "d**k" in the story) Less mistery here and more built up for the next chapter I suppose Really only 2 complains: Labyrinth was annoying as hell (literally ;-) and I would have liked to see the shade kid from the second chapter come up again (to make some explanation on what the heck are this things). Also using a vinyl record to open a closet?! You got me run around all the houses for that puzzle XD Ps. On a serious note there is a minor bug in the game is in the first screen and happen when you need to present yourself to Anna in the kitchen go left in the kitchen DON'T talk to Anna and go back then the screen go literally Black and Morris go over his line over and over (as the main character say he need to go to the bathroom I thought "well maybe before present myself to the romantic interest is better get the winky doodle done" who would have thinked I end up stuck in limbo (= =').

I enjoyed the first three games in this series and was enjoying this one until I entered the maze where you have to avoid being touched by enemies while trying to find your way out (in the mostly dark). The fact that an adventure game turned into a twitch game really irked me. I play adventure games because I enjoy thinking about problem solutions and solving puzzles, not running around avoiding enemies while trying to solve an obtuse maze. Sorry, but I have no desire to finish this one.
