esse jogo é muito bom, excelente.. Achei que seria mais intenso mas o foco foi mais na história e achei bem dahora
Second half is definitely more interesting than the first, but it still suffers from a lack of depth, a lack of length, and a lack of gameplay. Puzzles are very key/lock, gameplay is very walking sim at best even in "dangerous" moments, and the story is... actually better than I expected, and makes some good use of the key visual they lean on, even if I felt it was ultimately cut short of immersion in spots. Hue Hue "Male Gaze," you'll get that lame joke later. Overall, I think it's worth about a fiver. I don't think I can really impugn it for much that isn't just a consequence of being a shoestring budget indie title.

敵とかくれんぼしながらポイント＆クリック 劇場入る前のステージで左右行ったり来たりするのが面倒 一部ステージがコンティニュー地点がイベント前で苦痛 キーアイテム探すのに往ったり来たりさせられて移動速度が遅く面倒 ヴィヴィ編のボスでバグって進行不能に 主人公二人分のシナリオがあるが短い 主人公は高校生だけど、小学生向けのゲーム びっくり演出が少なく、あまり怖くないからやりやすいのだけは良き
Super ambiance. Un plaisir a finir
Really fun, it has a story that hooks you, immersive atmosphere, numerous and varied puzzles, the PS1-style graphics are very well done and fit perfectly with the type of game, plus the way you interact with some elements to manipulate them is also really entertaining.
На удивление классное мистическое приключение про 2х школьниц застрявших в школе, где по всем канонам жанра когда-то что-то произошло. Как хоррор - слабовата, но загадки интересные, интуитивно понятные. Разрабам желаю успеха, а себе побольше подобных проектов в библиотеке!)
Very well made game with some shear creativity included. The art style is very unique, and this is a very story rich game.
Among low-budget horror games, this is one of the few that genuinely gave me goosebumps. Amy’s chapter in particular was quite (suprisingly) terrifying. That damn ghost kept appearing out of nowhere and scaring me into running around like a rat. The story is pretty good and the gameplay is clear and straightforward. For a small indie game, this is a surprisingly solid piece of work.
Short but VERY well done, great music. Has some pretty tense moments and a really well done story that hit more personally than your average silent hill game. Extremely underrated tbh!
Happy yuri is a nice change 10/10
