◈The game contains supernatural horror, death, blood, paranormal elements, and BL (Boys' Love) content (accounting for about 15%, with horror as the main focus). Please purchase as needed.
◈The game contains adult content such as suicide, self-harm, and extreme violence. Minors should not purchase it.
◈The values and ways of thinking conveyed in the game's plot are relatively subjective and personal, lacking rigorous reasoning and logic. Please purchase at your discretion.

。。。。。
Plain script and drawing, neither intriguing nor profound. One of the characters' design bears a high resemblance to Kawase in Hashihime. I even played Hashihime again just to leave this review... Such a pity.
I really loved this game! Big thanks to the game developers for having this localized in english! At times, the translation is a bit awkward, but the story is so compelling it more than makes up for it. I really loved every chapter in Mingjing's story, and I'll definetely be there for any future projects!
剧本写的太短平快啦,缺乏打动人心的力量,悬疑氛围也不够足,再打磨一下吧。 但是20r能尝到这种完成度已经很不错了,鼓励好评
感情线有点突兀(我不是冲着bl来玩的其实可以给个友情结局),有点介意真相没揭穿,受害者家属还在受折磨 _(:зゝ∠)_cg还是很在线的,看了评论区决定玩一下买了好几年还没玩的桥姬,积灰的switch启动!
感觉剧情很寡淡吧但是他画得太好了,但是没打折还是别买了吧感觉有点纯花钱看美工并感,打好评纯粹因为他画得实在是太好看了加上希望剧本别被喷得我后面没游戏玩了唉blg产量这一块我真的不要玩水都,希望剧本能真的有活了再好好写因为目前这俩其实都挺寡淡的(剧情)至于人设抄袭我是真没感觉出来()可能就是纯粹撞了吧本泽凛孝子从桥还只有英文版的时候就玩过了,后面出了汉化也又品了好几遍(摸了一百多小时虽然有挺长时间在啃生肉)初见这寡淡的游戏完全没既视感,还是看测评明示才看懂原来是川子哥)有没有蹭就自由心证吧我是真没感觉,只觉得这游戏剧情好无聊
Beautiful game with a touching story, 10/10.
内容比较少,但是夏思贤的he和be线都特别美味。还有陈熙的be线。总之是牛逼牛逼的牛逼。
this game is def worth buying. the horror elements were perfect, i loved the story, cgs, and writing but especially the relationship between mc and xia sixian i adore them omg... there are some minor translation issues in the english version but it is still completely readable and didn't affect the story at all!
好精彩的故事!cg画的也很好看!!就是本胆小星人遇到恐怖的地方全程遮着屏幕过的哈哈哈,最终两个坏结局都是竹马下的手看到双杀弹出来的成就名差点没绷住,,夏思贤he有亲亲!我们陈熙也来一个呗!!期待作者们的下一部作品!
