Novena Diabolos

First off, don't be fooled by my playing time. Since this is a light game, I often keep it running in the background while I work. Actual play time is probably around 6- 8 hours so far - enough for two playthroughs. A single playthrough will probably take you around 3-5 hours. As for the game itself, it's an interesting and innovative VN that essentially functions as a reverse Werewolf game: you have 5 girls, only one of which is human, while the other 4 are all monsters. Winning requires you to guess which one is on your side AND develop a bond with her. So far, nothing special. What truly makes this game interesting, though, is the fact that everything is randomized, from which girl is actually human to the general behavior of each monster; the only thing that remains consistent is the fact that each heroine can only ever be one monster (for instance, Sumi Choi will always be either a witch or a human being. She'll never be a succubus or any other being). This gives the game a fair amount of replay value and prevents future playthroughs from becoming stale too soon; sadly, unlike Gnosia, the most obvious point of comparison, this game doesn't have any RPG elements and the enigmas are actually quite simple once you get the hang of them, so future playthroughs are mostly carried by the new discoveries you might make on each girl's route. Once you've obtained all endings, there's no incentive to ever come back. But hey, isn't that the case with most visual novels? The plot itself is fairly simple, but oozes atmosphere; particularly, the sound design and writing create unsettling undertones that can truly make your hair stand on end at times, despite the game's clear lack of budget. The translation also flows well, though it suffers from a few typos and even instances in which the game's coding bleeds into the text. It's not too common or anything, but do keep this in mind if you're fussy about this kind of thing. Oh, and speaking of bugs... they're the one major flaw this game has. This release has been plagued with them from the start, and while the worst ones have been fixed, quite a few remain. Particularly, the game sometimes does not translate clues related to summoning locations when they're written on the right side bar that functions as a checklist, and that can be a MAJOR problem. You see, these clues are obtained from books, and the way they convey summoning locations can be quite misleading; the correct interpretation is that all locations mentioned are possible summoning areas, but sometimes the text makes it seem as though only one of them is correct. The checklist always clarifies this by listing all locations, but that doesn't do much if it ends up written in Korean. This might seem minor, but actually wrecked my first playthrough by making me think a monster was actually innocent. All things considered, though, this is quite a good game. The english release is a bit unpolished and the game COULD use more variety, but you're likely to have a good time with what's already here. There's also some DLC with extra content, but we still don't know if it will ever be translated.

Fantastic characters good story really excellent English translation and good horror atmosphere for the locations that are in the game. I loved having to figure out who was the real human and who were the monsters/demons. each play through of the game is different for the locations that the murders do take place so it is replayable the character routes can get a little bit tedious though if you are going for a specific character route but they turn out to be a demon however there is a cheat mode that lets you pick any character to be able to be the human so that helps. its a shame that there isn't a lot more reviews for this game because it does deserve to be more noticeable for what it is. In general for what the price of the game is it is well worth getting it whether its on sale or not.

This is a little diamond in the rough. Some characters are definitely better written than others, but the style of this game is quite fantastic. It's not super heavy on the deduction, but fun enough for a couple of playthroughs. Translation is mostly fine, except for a few instances where some parts are just outright untranslated or don't match. The worst one is in the clues, where Ancient Language and Old Language mean the same thing.

Honestly one of my favorite VN horror games!

I really liked what i could play i had to refund the game because it would keep crashing on me. The scene it would do this on is where the first female character is introduced. So for that reason i cannot give this a positive review

如果你英文水平很低、打算使用翻译器游玩的话，请务必去买韩文原版的！！！ 个人非常非常不建议买这里的英文版：首先是翻译器直接翻译韩文原版会更贴近原意，体验会好很多；其次游戏本体有坑没填完，韩文版可以购买DLC，而英文版只有本篇内容，无法通过购买dlc来补全剧情 ----------------------------------------------------------- [h2]剧情： [/h2]一场公路抛锚将你带入浓雾弥漫、无法逃离的怪异山村（好眼熟的设定）......这里表面寂静，实则是邪教为召唤邪神而设的陷阱，而你正是这场邪恶仪式中被选定的祭品 村里有五位同样误入此处的女性，你原以为能找到同伴，却不知她们早已被非人之物取代：吸血鬼、魅魔、女巫、僵尸、狐妖藏身于她们体内......她们会假装与你携手，但真实目的却是骗取你的信任——你最终选择的那一位，将会在仪式中将你献祭，以此换取神位 但其中一位女性其实并未被附身，为你留下了一线生机，你必须在举办仪式的九天中，仔细分析四场召唤仪式的线索、对照搜集到的各种资料，推理出谁才是真正的人类，并赢得她的信任，最终与她一起逃出生天 [h2]玩法： [/h2]文字rogue是这款游戏的核心卖点，和推理的玩法融合得非常绝妙，每周目的凶案现场、证据以及怪物特性都是不一样的，所以在不使用作弊模式的前提下，只有一个女主才有GE（但可以通过通关后点击继续游戏来搜集选错的BE） 游玩难度不高，每一周目都能保证通过有限的线索推理出正确答案，只要及时排除错误选项，GE非常容易达成 [h2]感想： [/h2]很好玩，一口气打通，既有创意又有深度，韩国人做的游戏真的好玩😭 虽然是恐怖游戏但并不恐怖，虽然是gal但也没有恋爱要素。反而男主与每位女主的关系更像是相互救赎的深刻友情，随着剧情推进，男主逐渐了解到每个人深藏的不幸与伤痛，并帮助她们解开过往的束缚、克服眼前的困境 从个人线的完整度来看，Hana应该是官配，事实上我普通模式正儿八经打了七轮，七轮里其中有三轮都是Hana......Nari怎么随都随机不到🤦‍于是第七轮之后为了全成就使用了结局搜集模式......最惨的是Sumi，虐，真的太虐了......

Проходишь полностью рут одной девочки, избегая наиболее всратую @ Единственным человеком оказывается эта самая всратка @ У вас слишком мало доверия друг к другу, она тебя посылает, выбранная тобой девочка тебя убивает @ Ты дохнешь Ахуенно Игра, конечно, оригинальная и хорошая, но вот этот рандом всратый

第一次玩，带着Nari跑了，是好结局

Started off a bit cliche but quickly turned into a very unique and well written game. I wasn't very interested in visual novels but I gotta play more of them if they are this enjoyable.
