And then he wrapped something in a blue sheet and hid it - [that].
Surrounded by “them”, he started digging a hole, was covered with all the sweat and swallowing blood and dirt.

Reviews
他に類を見ない現実的な空気感を巧みに表現されたノベルゲームでした。 これはゲームだからこそできた表現にも感じられ、素晴らしい作品と思います。 バカほど泣きました。
个人感觉这部作品有些高开低走,开头悬疑味拉满,衔接了自己的日常和母亲给人的压迫感,还有长相和行为都猎奇的店长。包括到中期看到母亲的录像,这一条主角的日常和亲情线都是很好的,爱看日本推理小说的会很快代入。 不足的地方,首先翻译吧,我感觉像新人翻译,有的句子很生涩。再有就是开头给玩家拉的很高的故事感,感觉会一步一步加强探寻阴谋再发现的过程,但是后面没有着重去体现悬疑的氛围,从中途男孩直接出现在火葬场向男主自爆好久不见,这里开始到后面就对我来说已经毫无亮点。确实会出现很抽象的展开,但是这个抽象不是搞笑的意思,导致我会觉得故事的定位有点摇摆。摇摆了以后再去看其他角色的故事,哪怕是悲惨的悲怆的都会感觉有点平。
层层反转引人入胜的悬疑故事,底层小人物在“狗屎一样的社会”里的挣扎、麻木、不安和无力感让人喘不过气,但角色的韧性又足以让人怀有期待。 台词在前期初见角色时过于跳脱显得过于电波,跟着剧情熟悉角色之后渐入佳境。过量语气词的幽默有种漫才感,我还是能接受的。 作为群像剧,角色背景环环相扣,随着主线推进,伏笔一一揭开,本就鲜明的角色形象不断深化,精巧地组合出整条剧情线。 细致的情感表达令人印象深刻,文笔朴素但直击人心。我很喜欢作品里那些鼓起勇气抛开“读空气”的真诚的感情,以及角色们各自的信念,哪怕有些时候显得中二,特别是从开头到结尾的主角与母亲的感情和主角的内心独白,真的非常触动我
非常能让人看下去的大锅炖菜,虽然同人味很重,但日系悬疑作品最吸引人的桥段全都塞在里面了,如果是看得多的人大概能在很多地方找到既视感,典型的从猎奇入手最后又转到非常夸张社会问题的日系文本(虽然不能细究)。不少地方挺悬浮的,完全就是【净他妈扯淡】的程度,胜在有些要素永不过时——看到这种前奏肯定想要了解后续吧!
微猎奇,剧情还是有点意思的
真好呢,草莓蛋糕。 前期节奏缓慢稍微有一点无聊。但是后面剧情就开始反转了很有意思啊。 挺喜欢这种对话风格的。
非常吃电波和脑回路的悬疑向视觉小说,讲述了一个看似层层反转最后只能无语你这是反转了个啥的故事 不过本作的文本重点不是放在故事本身的推进和反转,更重点是在人物动机的塑造和章节段文本的悬疑感,随着故事发展一个个逐渐被发掘又被揭开的故事真相能让你一口气玩下去。在故事中塑造的人物情感和动机充分,让你能充分理解其人物内核。[spoiler] 除了大BOSS没有纯坏人 [/spoiler] 虽然不得不对文本收拢故事线的手法粗暴感到搞笑,为路怒症感到无语,但是个人还是推荐本作 +人物形象和动机塑造 +悬疑充足的文本 +廉价但好使的CG -音效BGM乱用 -信息密度略低 -吃电波,适用性差
看小说的游戏,很无聊,垃圾话一堆
感觉是电波作但对上了的话会很喜欢。目前为止有点被震撼到 二编:完全是神作吧为什么评价这么低。。
草莓蛋糕吃着吃着最后几口吃到巧克力了,而我很讨厌巧克力啊,入口就想吐。三人行未免不可,让其中一个死也未免不可,最后季节来句,“不是为了自己,而是为了他人活下去”吗?再到最后让记着也跳出来扯这两下恋爱是觉得很幽默吗?//情节大纲设计还行,但是具体起来感觉挺不对劲。
