PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo

I very much enjoyed my time reading through this visual novel. I was initially captured by its premise of 80s occult horror, but the story morphed into something else entirely different. But I was along for the ride and I'm glad I stuck to the end. All of the characters were really well written, and every single one felt like they contributed heavily to the story, even the minor characters. There wasn't a single individual that I got bored of reading about, as they all had interesting goals and perspectives that I wanted to learn more about. The mystery of the game was extremely well told, even to the point that It got a little predictable. However I'll give the game the benefit of the doubt because I was constantly thinking about deducing the story myself, so it felt like a purposeful predictability if you were properly paying attention to the game. A minor spoiler: my only complaint with the game is that it utilises 4th wall break mechanics, and usually I'd find that really cool, but here it was implemented a little poorly and felt gimmicky instead of smart and interesting. Apart from that the game is absolutely worth the money.

好玩

すごかった…………鳥肌とまんない（小並感）今年一番すきなゲームです

I can't believe how much I liked this game. I haven't played many graphic novel style games, and the non-linearity here was very inventive.

推理到后面的时候逻辑全部闭环，非常好的一部作品，求一个没有玩过本所的脑子

非常神的推理悬疑民俗类视觉小说游戏！人设饱满，剧情逻辑闭环完整，旋转画面找线索的游戏氛围做得超级好，画风特别特别特别喜欢，就是结局有点点仓促？总感觉还没完全过瘾！ [spoiler] 兴家彰吾你小子真的很帅啊！！！！！[/spoiler] 好想失忆再打一遍呜呜呜呜呜。我爱警察二人组和热血高中组！必须要入手续作 >v<

打破第四面墙的互动很有趣，剧本写得有起承转合和层层反转。需要认真思考才能体验到乐趣。
