PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo

“PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo” is, in my opinion, a wonderful use of the visual novel genre. I found the mechanical layer to be interesting, with its “story chart”, use of meta knowledge (also "meta mechanics"), and being asked meta questions. I enjoyed how you have to look around in 360-degree environments, memorise key information and use “files” to your advantage. The character art style is eye candy, as are the expressions. The characters themself are also very fun, and it was a joy to learn more about them. The game’s setting and world-building were also really enjoyable. I’d say that the only hit-or-miss things are: how you don’t really get to play around with the curses (something that at first might seem like an important aspect), and the [spoiler]true ending, which is generally fine, but makes it so that most of the game “didn’t happen” (I am not a fan of this “motive” - having all your progress get deleted/made unimportant)[/spoiler]. Outside of that, it was great! I didn’t play that many VN games; therefore, I can’t say if this one is “groundbreaking” with its mechanics, but it felt NOVEL to me! Haha novel, like y’know uhhh visual… novel…

Un juego nunca me dio tantos sentimientos a la vez, felicidad, tristeza, enojo, soundtrack 10/10, historia 10/10, y joyita super recomendada, no es una simple vn, es mas que eso, jueguenlo, no se arrepentiran

咒术回战 高开低走

Picked this up for $10 during a sale, and I think it was well worth the price. It’s a very good visual novel with excellent artwork and an interesting mystery that kept me engaged throughout. The game is a bit spooky at the beginning, but the horror elements mostly disappear as the story progresses. I also think voice acting would have made the experience even better, as it would have added more personality to the characters and dialogue. Overall, I’d give it a solid 7/10. The achievements are straightforward and none are missable, which is a nice bonus for completionists. I’ll definitely be picking up the sequel the next time it’s on sale.

very good

The game does have 1 interesting gimmick that had me raise an eyebrow, but the story and gameplay otherwise didn't do much for me. This feels like a step down from something like the Zero Escape series (as far as jumping down different timelines in a spooky visual novel setting).

girls can do whatever they want

The start of the game is genuinely one of the best experiences i had with a visual novel, it was amazing, you need to be carefull with curses, and manage to figure out how to make someone else trigger yours, there's a danger lurking in every corner, in a confrontation one wrong word might kill you, the unknown is your greatest enemy and it fills you with a sensation of fear and trill, with that being said, the rest of the game doesn't quite match the night experience, i played for 13 hours, and 8 of those where spent wondering if the game would "become great again", after night time it just becomes a "good story", and while that is a positive thing, the fact that it didn't even get close to matching the quality of the first night, left me extremely unsatisfied with the game, i will still review it positively because of the first 5 or so hours tough.

有点高开低走，前面几个跳脸有点吓人，故事还是非常不错的
