大家玩鬼隐篇一定要打07mod,直接玩steam原版的话没配音没cg没op,我看有官中就干脆偷懒没打,配音我也无所谓,但玩到一半发现连一张cg都没有的时候已经晚了。剧情真的很有趣,几年前看过动漫忘得差不多了,再玩一遍游戏又是一种新的体验,感觉游戏代入感更强,蕾娜还是那么让人不寒而栗。
Read Higurashi and Umineko. Do not watch the anime. It's that simple.
Takes a while to really get into the story but when it starts to pick up it carries the momentum all the way through to the end. Does a really good job at setting up the core of the next 7 chapters, and when I went and revisited this after finishing everything the recontextualization you have makes it even better. As everyone else does, I recommend the 07 mod patch so you can get the scuffed original audio, which does a much better job for the setting imo.

Best 15 hour long PowerPoint presentation I've ever played. They should add the Hinamizawa map to Among Us.
While the slice of life segments can become a little drawn out, it does its job of setting the stage for an intense horror story. The mundane life in Hinamizawa is sprinkled by the bizarre and the disturbing and it will surprise you with how far it can go at times. Excellent writing, good art and good music. This is a must-read for fans of the genre.
its peak...
really excellent game (?) that exceeds everything i expected from a vn and gets you hooked quick. really plays well with the idea of paranoia and by the end will have you questioning whether what is happening is even real or not. highly recommend to fans of psychological horror.
氛围感超级棒,日常也不枯燥,蕾娜酱可爱捏
A great horror story. A slow burn that truly leads to the unexpected. Read this one and all the others
worth to get into and the first (and free) episode is quite lengthy and well paced. you'd much rather read it for the entertainment value alone rather than be a poser and pretend to have read it. don't larp it, its actually worth it
