Neighbor

This is great horror-ish visual novel. First of all this is very well written visual novel. Great spooky story. Despite being horror it doesnt have jumpscares, which is something i appreciate greatly. Voice acting is very well done. Sounds design is pretty great. Grafic is rather minimalistic with no character sprites, just backgrouds, but it works really well together with sounds to create atmosphere. I can recommends this to anyone looking for both good story and spooky expirience.

A story that builds up tension well. The feeling differs from reading a book, but the background noises and graphics are quite atmospheric. 30 chapters that take about 2,5 hours if you're a fast reader. A bit pricey therefore.

很有意思的悬疑小故事，感谢覃先生^^ 原配夫人何辜

Kind of a short VN but it was a nice read. I like psychological horror more than supernatural horror but it was still enjoyable.

This game is a slow burner, and builds up the tension brilliantly, starting with just a small incident, then the game devs turn the screw a little and add another strange incident, then another. You play as someone who has just moved into a new flat, and according to Japanese tradition, you take a small gift and introduce yourself to your neighbours. One of your neighbours is a student who decides to help you with your search for an explanation of what is happening. This student also provides some comic relief during the search. The voice-over is in Japanese, and does contribute to the build up of suspense, even if we do not understand what is being said. The art style is minimalistic and limited to just a few colours and lines, and suits the story as it is told. Not being familiar with Japanese social customs, I found that while they were necessary for developing the mystery they were at first a bit off-putting, but its well worth persevering with them as it explains so well how the various characters react in the circumstances they find themselves in and the politeness that Japanese society can impose even in unusual circumstances. There are plenty of save slots, though I am not sure if I would play this again as this is more like a novel than an actual game and once the mystery is solved there is no apparent room for an alternative ending. I enjoyed it and while I found the Japanese voices a bit distracting to begin with, they certainly add to the atmosphere of terror that surrounds the protagonist. This is one of those games best played with headphones in a darkened room on a cold stormy night to maximise the terror, pleasure or discomfort you may feel. Not everyone's taste, but a nice contrast to the hard action and bright lights of most games.

Immersive and well-characterised tale, if a little linear and slightly excessive in length. The punchy, suspenseful Lingering Memories side-story, unlockable once you complete the main feature, is the true gem here.

I really enjoyed this visual novel and can definitely recommend it to everyone who enjoys visuel novels with a little bit of horror. I am really easy to scare so i would say it is not thaat creepy but enough for my taste. I really liked the story and the drawing style.

Neighbor it's an outstanding horror VN that will play with your expectations every given moment. Always surprising you with creepy and top grossing sound designs that enhance the experinece quite well, and you will always find yourself questioning if the plot will go for somthing supernatural or an true story. But I can hoesty say that it's quite a ride and there are not many good good horror that really flips the table like Neighbor do. So if you are a sucker for horror, go for it :D

Вполне себе хорошая, хоть и короткая новелла. Сильно ссаться кипятком, она правда не заставила.

Very spooky and immersive. Experience it at night and with headphones.
