If you are going through grief of lost loved ones, be careful. This is a very emotional story. There is no bad ending, but picking the negative options will limit your experience. Elle and Lucia have a beautiful story to share and a wonderful friendship to start. Picking Spooky made me uncomfortable. Taking a break made the story end too soon. Once you unlock all the pictures, you have some amazing artwork to look at. Don't forget to eat your pumpkin pie. Happy Halloween.

Вообще, я ожидал какой-то трешачины с циничным юмором. Не помню, как добавил в библиотеку — очевидно, не сильно вдавался в подробности. Оказалась довольно неплохая маленькая история с хорошим саундтреком.

Short but sweet. This visual novel does an excellent job of handling the heavy topic of loss.

Graveyard Girls is an emotional trip down a memory lane filled with grief. It's written surprisingly well and does not feel like it chose its subject matter to simply be an easy way to appeal to emotions, but rather to help process said emotions. I personally like the art style, and the understated music helps here. It's also a VN worth going through all the options available due to the memories opening up afterwards, but know that there are two ending variations - although they're not major, I would call them a "good ending" and a "normal ending" (basically [spoiler] if you completely open up as Elle then you'll get the "good ending" with the short epilogue). [/spoiler] Warning: this is surprisingly emotional, raw, and takes the subject matter seriously, so take its trigger warnings just as seriously. If you're dealing with grief or depression yourself and feel particularly sensitive about it then this may not be for you. So would I recommend this? Unless the above statement applies to you then yes, I'd honestly recommend this to most people. It's around an hour long (unless you read slowly), and is surprisingly emotional and well written. It's especially impressive given it was also a Game Jam game, and the amount done here given that time restriction is amazing.
