Reaplaced

Quite an engaging game, the type you can easily finish in one section and keeps you hooked the whole time. There weren't any slow or boring moments and the reveal was interesting. Just know that this isn't the type of game with any choices or anything, but I honestly think it's better for it, the choices would just feel like the MC has no agency when she is meant to be smart enough to easily solve it herself, no point in having you click wrong answers or anything. I'd recommend.

Loved it! I enjoyed this story, it's very engaging. Nicely done, the illustrations and animations are awesome and i loved the style of the gameplay. I also enjoyed the fact that each character has their own personality and stood out from each other. You actually feel for them and grow to love them. I def reccomend playing and I will be uploading my gameplay to my kilcitykitty channel via YT

Cute game, better writing than some other free VNs I've played before. That said, I don't think the game really helps you decipher the mystery at all, which wasn't a problem for me because although I couldn't crack the murder, I was too intrigued - and entertained - to be bothered. Took me a little longer to finish because I was doing two things at the same time but yeah, I'd say it's a good pastime.

Reaplaced Recommended Length: Very Short (<5 hours) Number of Routes: 1 Choices: Yes* Failure Possible: No Character Rating: Pretty Decent Story Progression: Good Chaotic Elements: Yes Music Rating: Decent Achievement Difficulty: 1 Additional Thoughts: A decent overall free halloween themed VN that i kinda sat on in my library for 2 years before giving it a read finally (although meant to read it when it first released, think it was kinda past halloween then among other reasons). It is rather linear even though there are choices in this, its more "i want to read things in this order" kind of choices where every option gets selected. Wouldn't have minded if there was an option to guess near the end based on the clues collected, and even if you got it wrong would have still resulted in the same ending.

This is a pretty short VN, but it was surprisingly good. The one thing I was wanting was a stronger use of the clue system. It would have been neat to have to deduce what happened to progress the game.

A good mystery fantasy murderer story with amusing characters. The ending was surprising, but fitting for the characters.
