Novena Diabolos

Great Adventure very immersive ! I like that feeling when I was sure of making the "good" choice and miserably fail because of the very well deceiving game. About duration not bad I think a bit more than 10 hours for the first try. The main story is captivating that encourage us to reach the "good" or "bad" end. However some side story seems a bit boring same for the research of clue that was too repetitive.

Good game, full of nice voice acting and well written characters. Story is pretty interesting and integrates well between story sections and gameplay sections. A decent amount of replay-ability too to get the other endings, and the randomized element to the gameplay keeps the game feeling fresh even when replaying it. Overall: 8/10

En iyi korku+dedektiflik oyunlarından birisi bence hikaye tarzında okurken cinayetleri çözmeye çalışıyorsunuz. Benzeri piyasada pek olmayan iyi bir hikaye+ güzel bir dedektiflik yapımı. Oyunu ilk korsan olarak oynamıştım ondan sürem az ama oyunun tekrar edilebilirliği mevcut her oynadığınızda olaylar değişiyor.

interesting game, 6/10 For starters, the atmosphere of this game is great. The village and motel give off this really creepy vibe, and the hostile entities in this game are genuinely scary. you do feel like you're a pawn in the grand scheme of things. For the gameplay, you're tasked to figure out who the 1 human is out of 5 women. The other 4 women are demonesses in disguise. yet this aspect of the game isn't done so well. you determine who the human is through a process of elimination. Its like cluedo - but based solely on RNG. If you get good clues, great, you are able to narrow who the human is down to 1-2 candidates and build trust with them. but if you get bad clues, you're done for. I had a playthrough where I had 4 potential candidates up until the last day when everything clicked come the final murder. And as you would expect, I was screwed not as a result of my poor planning or gameplay, but because I received bad clues. The way you receive said clues is also poorly integrated into the game. Its just a point and click style minigame where you look for clues in a big image. Additionally, the clues do nothing apart from allow you to narrow down who the human is. And who the human is also has no bearing on the overarching story apart from the final few scenes when you try to escape. The game also lacks a "true ending". This leaves many questions unanswered. Who is "The Witness"? Who is Hoseok Cho - why is he so important to deserve a sprite? Are the motel owner and the priests really demonic creations? Why did the human wander into Novena Diabolos, and why is her presence alone so disruptive to allow the MC to escape? It feels like this game could have done much better with some more answers. But the polish of the game is there. Animations are great, writing is decent, the concept is great. I can't give it more than 6/10 though.

this is a good game and the translation is good. I only hope that they will do the dlc for this game

dlc please!

I recommend this VN! It has a very interesting story, good atmosphere and music, cinematic scenes, lovable characters, and great replayability. I strongly recommend this if you're looking for a murder mystery game with good replayability and enjoyable characters.

I've played and watched a fair few visual novel games in my day, and this is one of the better I've experienced. Now let me get this straight: the playable character is whiny and honestly the first 2 days of gameplay kind of suck. So much so that after the 2 days, I took a year long break from this game. However, curiosity got a hold of me, and I decided to continue the game. And I am so glad I did! I played it once, fully just experiencing everything and enjoying it. Somehow, this game got me to cry at one of the endings. That full playthrough was about 5-6 hours I think? Next, I immediately wanted to see a different version of the story. I reloaded it, and was actually shocked by how much had changed. Even so, I have found that the game rewards you for replaying (iykyk). Within about another hour and a bit, I had gotten to a second ending (thank you skip button). That said, I still felt like I learned so much, and still got shocked at different twists and turns. To my understanding, there is at least... 10 endings? However I have my suspicions there's more. One thing I want to highlight is the writing. Funny enough, because the main character doesn't have a ton of depth. However, all of the NPC's have convincing and entertaining stories. There were 2 characters I immediately didn't like; however, as I got to know them more, I was having fun and realizing I cared about them a little bit. There's a bit of anime tropes here but honestly none that bothered me enough to deter my enjoyment. This is translated from Japanese, and there's a couple typos or grammatical errors here and there. However, it is a huge huge game, and I'm not sure what the time frame for getting it translated was, but for how big the game is and the story that's being told, again I don't mind. If you are a big VN fan, I'd highly recommend this game. If you're just looking for something with that mystery element, maybe get it on sale. Either way, it's a fun time :)

This game is so fun! I love the creative idea and the interactive parts are very entertaining, especially with the random aspects. I really liked the story branches and enjoyed the investigations. It was awesome to explore a big variety of locations, collect documents and be able to make own conclusions based on discovered information. The writing is pretty good, I loved how entertaining it is (especially during the interactions with different characters) and also how it manages to create amazing atmosphere as well. The atmosphere is just really good altogether, the intense and creepy parts are very well done. The background art and music definitely contribute a lot to the whole addicting mysterious vibe. The autosave function quite annoyed me at times, moreover I'm somewhat disappointed that the bad endings were short (in my opinion there was big potential to include more content of the monsters) but overall I'm left highly impressed and would love to play something similar!

Really solid game, the human is random but it's not like a badly procedurally generated one. There's a lot of little different interactions you can get based on your current game's information, so it still feels smooth. There's absolutely a lot of love and care in this game, and the translation is like 99.99% perfect too. I'd easily recommend this for the experience alone, and it's worth replaying a few times for the other routes too.
