Gothic Murder: Adventure That Changes Destiny

A fun, in a way classical murder mystery VN with many investigations for the player to solve! The premise is intriguing (albeit a bit funny); the maid-protagonist spontaneously becomes an improvised detective who needs to rescue her pathetic master from daily murder attempts. The riddles and cases are enthralling and pretty clever, without crossing the line to frustration-inducing. Overall, I found the plot well-paced and engaging all along! The setting has a fancy gothic aesthetic, maintained by lovely art and immersive soundtrack. To be honest, I wish that the romance and insight on the side characters were more fleshed out in the endings, however since this story mainly focuses on the actual process of mystery-solving, rather than characters, I perceive this as an intended choice, which actually works well. Though I would've loved to receive more information on some key details of the main reveal.. Altogether, it's a sweet and entertaining experience that does a great job at involving the player!

It is not a very good game, but not a very bad game either. I would give this game a 3.5/5 star as it is not a very long game However, please note that this is not really a dating sim game that you are looking for, it is a full on "simple-detective" visual novel, and have a little ending with either one of the two characters at the ending there, but it is only a merely short 1 min or lesser depending on your reading speed. I got to admit that the art is very great, and the music is good too. However, the story line is not really that fascinating compared to most other visual novel that I read. Each chapter is about less than an hour, but the Final Chapter is less than 30 minutes, with the ending with one of the two characters is less than a min. So with 5 chapters + 2 ending, the total playtime for this game is about 4 hours and 30 mins at most. [P.S My total playtime is not accurate as shown on steam as I sometimes will daydream when I read halfway or reply texts or when off to do some chores while leaving my game running] My most favourite character, is the chef, Jack or to say the [spoiler] the real "Irving"[/spoiler] (This is rather kinda of a huge spoiler so don't click it) Second will be Ewen. Least favourite character is Leila, and not because [spoiler] the real "Irving" loves her and is her fiance[/spoiler] but she is really bratty, rude, and arrogant. Recommend to get this on sale.

Gothic Murder: Adventure That Changes Destiny weaves together a story of mystery, intrigue, and the world of the paranormal. You play as Ellie, a new housemaid and orphan in 20th-century England. Through the use of puzzles that require players to gather and put together arguments based on evidence, and a story that will keep players intrigued, Gothic Murder is a game worth playing albeit with a few notes. The story of the game is rather short but does get straight to the point instead of supplying too much filler around interactions that do nothing to further the plot. Each day's events are framed around a dream that Ellie has the night before indicating that the lord will die. I found toward the end many of the plot points to be a bit more cliche which created more of a humorous playthrough than something more serious. Despite this I didn't find the game's story to be lacking in depth. If what you are looking for is something with a unique plot, this isn't going to provide you with that. The art of the game is incredibly solid and presents an air of polish to it. Taking into consideration the time period the characters and their roles make sense. The cast of characters has a decent mix of both genders, with the males dominating positions of power. The mystic does present as the only poc which could be viewed as a problem. Spiritualism as a movement held many key figures that were generally white. Throughout the game there are various splash screens that are beautifully rendered with the ability to revisit through a gallery option. The puzzles present in the game remind me of my [i]incredibly[/i] vague understanding of how the Ace Attorney's presentation of evidence sections work. This however could be inaccurate as I have not played those games. Puzzles in the game consist of investigating rooms to gather evidence. In this stage the player isn't able to create a game over screen, however in the evidence presentation sections there are possibilities to create a game over. Many of these "questioning" sections required a bit of thinking to get past. The majority of them were pretty simple but a few of them required a bit more critical thinking to complete. The majority of achievements you will gain in your first playthrough, but will require two or three playthroughs to get all of them. Most players will end with the true ending and get the other end in a subsequent playthrough. The ending achievements add's a single cg at the end of the game and a little extra dialogue, but the bulk of the game is all the same. Gothic Murder: Adventure That Changes Destiny isn't a game that brings new things to the table, but does present players with a solid story that can be a bit cliche at times. If any of the caveats presented don't detract from the game I would give the game a decent shot. It's a story that can be finished in a few short play sessions or one longer one.

more a crime investigation game than a dating sim but man it was fun!

I really enjoyed this game. Playtime is about 3 hours long but it's an interesting mystery game with pretty unpredictable twists and turns, it might look otome from first view but that's not the focus at all. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of orange's games in the west!!!

玩下来印象挺好的，画风比一些乙游更精美，推理部分做得又很踏实，不是那种需要对电波让人恼火的……原本看到又有灵媒差点逆转ptsd犯了，[spoiler]看到后面就释然了，推理过程不掺杂灵异成分令我安心……[/spoiler] [spoiler]真凶真的一出场就能猜到……感觉前面把他塑造成一个运筹帷幄大阴谋家，结尾揭示只是个恋爱脑很割裂x[/spoiler] 两个可攻略男主我更喜欢Irving，有礼貌讲道理而且毫不掩饰对Ellie的欣赏和依赖；Ewen就有点像凑数的，如果不是之前看了别的评测和成就我可能会把他当普通npc（） 但更喜欢他的结局！ 每个环节选错了就是几句话be，完全可以自己随心玩没什么必要刻意回收 汉化估计是没希望，期待其他几作能出英字

Öncelikle Gothic Murder: Adventure That Changes Destiny oyununun bir otomeden ziyade dedektiflik ve romantizmin harmanlandığı tatlı bir visual novel oyunu diyebiliriz. Ellie adlı bir hizmetçi olarak rüyalarımızda lordumuzun öldüğünü görüyoruz ve onu kurtarmak için Sherlock Holmes misali araştırmalar yapıyoruz. Tabii katilin kim olduğunu bulmak da bize kalıyor. Bölümler geçtikçe olayları ve karakterlerin hikayelerini öğreniyoruz bu sayede kanıtları toplayarak katili bulmaya çalışıyoruz. Yaklaşık 8 saat falan sürdü oyun benim için ama daha kısa sürede de bitirilebilir. İngilizcesi basit sadece bir kaç zor kelime var onları da translate ile halledebilirsiniz. Kısacası çerezlik bulmacalı visual novel oyunu denebilir, aşırı romantizm beklemeyin.

The detective game in a gothic and feudal theme. You will have to prevent the earl from being killed, he died so many times XDD The graphic is very charming with the nice character design. I also love the ost, it's fit perfectly with the theme and the story. However, on some screens, I think it would be better if they added CG. Some CGs are very repeated, I don't understand why they add the CGs there but not when it's needed.

(Confirmed. NOT an Otome game. At least not in the aspect of you chasing this one guy or the other. There *is* a tiny bit of "sweet moments" amount... Depending on the choices you make... But it's mostly all about the mystery. If you survive, depending on route, you will get a CG for either E or Ir... But there is never any romance (that you might expect)/kissing, so ensure you are 99.9% here for the mystery. Yes.) I may have wanted this game for the "Otome" tag... But the mystery was where it was at. I used to read mysteries a lot as a kid/teen. Then I grew up and started to see all the plot holes and issues that came with those books. I should've just read something different... Like this. And I am glad I did. It made me remember why I enjoyed these in the first place. And no, this mystery isn't so complicated... That you need to be a genius to solve it. You *will* know if you fail however. XD It's also fun how they presented "questioning" rounds as "Boss Battles". Lol. Even if you can figure out one or two plot twists, there are still plenty to go around. It gets a bit nutty. Overall: A rather worthy/good experience/read for me.

예... 여성향/미연시 겜 좋아 인간이지만 플레이할만한 취향의 게임을 도저히 찾지 못한 나머지 스팀 구석구석까지 돌아다니다 결국 유저 한글패치도 없는 해외게임까지 건드려버린 사람이 바로 접니다... 모르는 단어 몇 가지만 검색하고 나머지는 자체번역했는데 번역 난이도는 이해하는데 그렇게 어렵지 않았던 것 같아요. 이 게임은 20세기초 영국, 가상의 한 백작 가문에서 메이드로 일하고 있던 주인공이 어느 날 자신이 모시는 백작(소개란의 초록리본 포니테일 청년)이 누군가의 칼에 찔려 죽는 예지몽을 꾸게 되고, 이것도 막고 범인도 밝혀내기 위해 조사와 추리를 반복하는 내용입니다. 추리 실패와 배드엔딩 등등을 제외하면 메인 엔딩은 크게 2가지로 갈리고, 선택지에 따라 루트를 타게 되는데 딱히 공략이 없어도 보고싶은 엔딩을 1회차에 충분히 보실 수 있는 난이도예요. 다만 본편에서도 연애보다는 추리에 비중을 훨씬 더 많이 두고 있기도 하고, 데이트라든지 개인 스토리같은 사이드 콘텐츠가 따로 없다보니 미연시 게임 기대하고 사신분들은 좀 실망하실수도 있어요. 그와 별개로 스토리와 추리요소는 무난하게 재미있었습니다. 놀랄만한 부분도 나름 있었구요. 저는 추리게임도 좋아해서 꽤 마음에 들었어요. 결론 : 추리게임 좋아하는데 나의 작은 개복치 백작님이 구해줘서 고맙다고 꽃같이 웃어주는 얼굴도 겸사겸사 같이 보고 싶으시다면 플레이해보실만 합니다.
