独特な色彩に気後れしてたのですが、始めて数分で惹き込まれました。カオスとラブと少しのせつなさが濃密な1時間に込められています。 steamページの説明にあるように、ゲーム画面がかなり小さいのは不便でしたが、終わってみるとそれも含めて良かったかな、と感じています。
可笑しくて寂しい、胸に迫る物語。 カオスで知的な文章が素晴らしいです。
重い題材だけれども、美麗なビジュアルやたまのユーモラスなやり取り、だんだん解像度が上がっていくような展開の仕方でとてもプレイしやすかったです。サウンドも秀逸。説明文の通り、1時間でできる濃密で素敵なビジュアルノベル体験でした。

A really awesome ride indeed! Very interesting characters/world. Excellent story made of equal parts abstract/fantasy/reality. Beautiful art style. Thank you KITTYPOOL!
se sintio como leer una novela ligera como otras solo que un poco tomaba con el tiempo
Little hard to follow, but that might be intentional. The machine translation is passable. No actual adult content, just a nude ghost. I think this made my life better, and that should count. Short and free, you won't lose much. Fully linear, except for one puzzle.
ghost reminds me of Mel a pretty short read. a poignant tragicomedy with some bizarre moments in it. i am really loving the visual and color scheme, the effects are unique(less "generic indie vibes") also and the music are soothing, sometimes fittingly melancholic, occasionally funny. despite its short runtime, the characters framing is strong. they become likeable quick and it left me with a lingering sliver of loss at the end of it. the whole... "moon and mamono" lore drop caught me off guard but then I remembered that we are in a universe with akumas and pregnant ghost. normal rules were never on the table oops sorry the ending leaves a small residue of absence, nothing dramatic. just a thin persistence of “its over and life goes on”. i wish this creator got the recognition they deserve
中文机翻不影响剧情整体理解,制作者的精神状态才是比较难以理解的那个。 但很巧和我同频,我很喜欢。 剧情不长,一会儿压抑一会儿傻笑但最后心情很愉悦。 [spoiler] 如果在某关键选择的时候能够允许两个选项按钮完全重叠就更好了,纯个人喜好。 [/spoiler]
良い物語を読ませてもらいました。 シリアスからコメディチックに右往左往する感じが心地よい。 AKAIのサンプラーで吹き出してしまったw
