I am not sure what happened with the tracking of the play time, but I can confirm it will take you a good couple of hours to play through all 3 of the visual novels.
Perceptions of the Dead is a bundle of 3 horror visual novels, all revolving around ghost haunts and the how 2 of the protagonists experience them. The first 2 stories I played, Perceptions of the Dead and the Phantom Ice Cream Truck, are centred around Tyrone - a young male spiritualist whose work is to resolve the haunts his clients are experiencing. The final story is Jill Count, about a young woman who is planning a Halloween live stream at hopefully spooky abandoned hospital.
As with a visual novel, you spend your time reading and there are barely any choices to make for the protagonists. I suspect the choices you make wouldn't impact the story, though I don't think it is a bad thing at all. The stories are well written and interesting, very much a modern take on ghost stories without becoming dated by the references to real life.
The use of voice actors helps immerse you and fleshes out the personalities of each of the major and minor characters. It can help keep track of which bit of text is linked to each character because their is no indication of who is talking on screen. This gives you a good chance to enjoy the art and the settings for each of the stories, and give you some creepy visual images as you progress through.
I honestly don't think this should be free, it is such a fun collection of short stories and the both the time and effort put in to making this should be recognised. It is definitely a labour of love and made by people who had some stories to tell.
