Graces: Posthumous Wish

This game is a surprisingly effective spooky visual novel with a cast of likeable characters. What impressed me the most was how the writing and presentation managed to bring fairly classic and well-known Japanese urban legends to life. The many beautiful illustrations and the sound design contribute greatly to the atmosphere. The visual depiction of the ghosts does fall somewhat short of the writing, however—sometimes the best horror is the kind you never actually see. The different girls are all sympathetic and, from their own perspectives, act in understandable ways. They are often unable to escape their situations, or are driven by desires that lead them to rely on curses and rituals. As a result, the horror has a very human core. The bonus materials are also particularly enjoyable, such as the explanations of the various curses and the comedy skits, which are genuinely funny. The character biographies even update depending on which ending you achieved with them, as the outcomes can differ quite dramatically. The explanation for Mitsuki's behaviour in Natsumi's arc, as well as the transition into one of the endings, did not fully convince me. I also find the message the game conveys regarding victim-perpetrator relationships somewhat questionable. Aside from that, many of the stories are quite tragic, especially the overarching narrative surrounding Mitsuki and Aki. I liked how the various fates ultimately come together at the end, even if it occasionally results in a bit of "small world" logic. In the end, perhaps one should not dwell too much on what went wrong and lose sight of the good things. After all, if bad events leave a mark, then so should good ones, right?

Excellent diverese story line, with rememberable characters and ending! another Hidden gem!

Это не главная проблема новеллы, но хочу отметить звук. Во‑первых, почти все звуки бесплатные. Во‑вторых, они повторяются помногу раз за игру. Это полностью обезличивает новеллу и разрушает атмосферу.

отдельное спасибо разработчику за ветку памяти

=b Охренительный визуал и атмосферная музыка. Пока ещё не допрошел, но просто смотреть на эти арты мне безумно приятно

"We are all cursed." Those were the final words of Mitsuki Reina before her untimely death. But does a curse truly exist, or is it just a string of tragic misfortunes? Furthermore, what really killed her? Then there is the "Anocorus"…. a sinister flower that blooms once a year and is said to grant any wish. Is the legend true, or is there a dark cost for such a gift? If the flower exists, why didn't Mitsuki wish to lift the curse instead of choosing death? The three petals of the Anocorus flower, the three misfortunes the Aki's suffered, the three beautiful graces… what is the significance of the number 3? Why not 4, 5, or 6? The story follows our protagonist, Akibara Yume, who somehow suffers from three misfortunes every single day. Can she uncover the truth behind Mitsuki Reina’s death? Or will she discover a different truth entirely? Something personal... something important... and deeply unfortunate. Overall Impression, this visual novel is exceptional. The music, art, and transitions are all high-quality, and the writing is both refreshing and thrilling. I highly recommend at least trying the demo. Play the first hour. If it hooks you, then this game is definitely for you. A huge thanks to the developers for creating such a truly great and awesome game. Keep it up

Очень крутая и жуткая атмосфера, шикарно написано, визуально очень приятная игра
