好玩是好玩,就是太短了。再加上没办法快进,也没有存档点,如果想看全部还是有点麻烦。
无剧透:三个结局流程其实挺短的,但是我玩起来感觉比较顺心,像可以自己选择走向的漫画。而且结局也蛮好的,中间选取的一段小说里的话也挺好。 全结局打起来的话需要尝试,虽然可以从路线节点里选择,但是已经读过的剧情没有快进,包括重新点击物品其实花的时间挺多的,最好能加个快进已读,这样方便给玩家耐心打其他的成就。 总体来说好评。
音效和氛围感不错,画风+

this was the very first game i bought in steam and the reason i downlaoded steam years ago, so i love it and will love it no matter what. but aside from that, i think the game is beautiful in most ways. mostly the art style, i LOVE it. yes, game may be slow, short and all but the story is good imo. i havent played the remastered version yet, so these are my opinions for the old version, but im sure the remastered version is also great. and it really kinda gives Junji Ito vibes. ALSO, its very cheap, why are u guys reviewing it like an expensive game? great game to play if u have a couple hours to spend and see some great artwork.
美术风格很有辨识度,有点伊藤润二风,微恐的元素对于一个女生玩家恰到好处,音效和氛围感拉满,剧情短而紧凑,而且是多结局,王亚茹绝对是个水中高手,服了。
A good horror adventure in a comic-style for a rainy day.
주인공이 진짜 순수광기임ㅋㅋ
在b站看了以前版本的替身和潜入的实况,支持一下顺便看看重制版和老版的差别,期待30号的潜入重制版和系列新作,如果以后的作品里还有江楠的戏份就更好了
I played Ghost in the Pool right after playing Concealed and even though it wasn't perfect, I still enjoyed spending my time getting to 100% it. I'm going to try my best to not compare the two games or ramble about Concealed, even though they have a bit of crossover and are in the same 'universe' along with Weirdo, all taking place at DiYingLing High. Just to note, I've never played the original version of this game-- only the remastered version, which is what's available now on Steam. Ghost in the Pool is a fairly short, linear game, but I don't think it's awful despite the length. The story is entertaining and there aren't many dull moments, pretty much every scene adding to the plot and lore. I would have liked to know a bit more about the characters, but there wasn't really much time to get attached to anyone, not even the MC, Yaru. (Okay, there's actually one ending that made me appreciate how crazy and reckless this girl is though, LOL.) Most of the characters add very little to the story, but I feel like they could have been given some extra background info to be made more interesting. Aside from Yaru, there's just the “rival character” and “gossiping classmates” which could have been left unnamed with no affect on anything, really. The lack of a manual save system isn't really much of a drawback due to the short length and ability to use the story map to load most areas in the game. I think it's completely forgivable to omit manual saving and I didn't find it to be an inconvenience as I played. In a quick game like this, I preferred the story map over having a save system anyway. Get ready to click a bit because there's no skipping seen text, though again, this is something I could overlook because of how short the game is and being able to pick a very, very generous number of scenes to load from on the story map in the menu. Ghost in the Pool isn't the scariest horror visual novel out there, but it creates a fairly consistent eerie atmosphere with most areas you visit having SOMETHING happen to unsettle the MC. There are a lot of tense moments and the transitions revealing the creepy things Yaru experiences are initiated well without being over the top, cheap jumpscares. It actually feels like you're flipping through the pages of a horror manga, which I think was the aesthetic the developer was going for and they nailed it. The designs for the ghosts throughout the game are really nice too, blending a little body horror and light gore to make some uncanny looking creatures. It's pretty obvious when you can make a choice to put yourself in a creepy/dangerous situation (or not) in some parts of the game, but I appreciated feeling like my choices had some impact on the story, even if it was just a small scene here and there. The game has three endings based on the decisions the player can guide Yaru make. There are slight variations between a couple of endings that make them worth attaining because they come with unique art and dialogue that reflects each respective ending, even if Yaru's fate is pretty much the same in a general sense. I enjoyed getting to see every single outcome and the story map made that very easy to do. Ghost in the Pool may not be the most memorable VN, but for a quick game that doesn't require a ton of effort, it's worth playing to experience the story and enjoy the artwork. The low price reflects the content you'll get to experience, so keep that in mind and I think it'll be hard to regret this purchase. I would have liked it if there was a bit more story, but the game is short and fun without dragging things out for no reason. Still kinda wish there was more straight-forward information on the significance of the cat though, lol.
