Cursed Sight

Relatively short VN set in a fictional past, a very much Asian inspired past. First impression might spark your interest and low price convince to buy. Let's see if my opinion can help you decide. We follow a story of a young boy sold into temple service where he meets a girl named Miyon. A girl with a special 'gift', the titular curse. From that moment onward their interactions become the main focus of this title. After certain time you are presented with a few choices leading to one of four endings. Story length is under 10h at normal pace so it won't take you long to see everything. Writing is pretty good considering the price of this game. I sure enjoyed it more than Unhack, a title from the same author. Good emotional trip overall. The anime art is pretty good, especially considering the fact that this is an OEVN. The number of character sprites is rather limited though. However, there's a good variety of CGs. For the budget price asked it is good value. Music is quite nice as well. There is good enough variety and themes. Tracks match mood of events nicely too. No complaints on this front from me. No bugs encountered. To conclude, a decently written short story combined with a quality presentation. I sure enjoyed this title and can easily recommend to VN enthusiasts liking light nakige: 6.8/10

Fiquei dividido se recomendava ou não esse jogo. Por um lado o jogo tem inconsistencias de tom na narrativa e trechos bestas demais. Também não gostei de como é trágico. Por outro lado. O jogo tem seus momentos tocantes e realmente me importei com os personagens. As musicas também são ótimas. Então, recomendo para quem queira chorar um pouco. Não recomendo para quem não gosta de histórias tristes.

I'd give it maybe a 6.5 or 7 out of 10. I recommend it, but it's not going to make my must read list. The story is reasonably unique, and decently written. But while there is character development, a lot of it happens during time skips, so characters have changed while we only see the results and not the process. I would've liked it to have been two or three times as long with fewer time skips and more of the character development shown. I do like the main cast of characters, but some extra length could've made me like them even more. The art is pretty nice and the character designs are interesting and cute. The music is perhaps even better, though. For endings, to be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of any of them. But of all of them, to me, one stood out as better than the others, while another had a nice epilogue. The one I liked the best overall was mostly because it made the most sense to me as what the characters would have chosen to do. As a side note, some phrasing used throughout the game was very modern and didn't really suit the game. Often times when Gai is expressing frustration, it would be very modern sounding. And there was an instance or two of breaking the fourth wall which I could have done without, but that's just a personal preference as I just don't really care for that in any story. It lowers the immersion and the humor is always very cheap and never seems worth it. Anyway, like I said at the beginning, I recommend it. Not a bad way to spend 2-3 hours. You could do it in one evening if you aren't too busy.
