required reading before every VN released post 1999
Scar of the Doll is a visual novel originally released in 1999 that lasts for about 90 minutes to two hours and follows a student searching for her own sister. The story is neatly packaged and doesn't get out of control too much, though there are a few unanswered questions at the end. It does have a tense atmosphere aided by the music and a few creepy scenes with a general sense of unease; atmosphere is something the game does very well. However, it is a bit clunky in the sense that saving always takes you back to the beginning of a scene, and many dialogue options result in a game over, which means that some scenes you have to just guess what option is the right one, often with no real context clues. But with how short the game is, it never bothered me too much. For the price, it's worth buying if you like suspenseful, obscure visual novels and on a sale even more so.
If you want a short story that'll take you on a trip, check this out. Not the remake though, ♥♥♥♥ sucks.
[h1]Score: 7.8/10[/h1] It took me almost 4 hours to beat the game, the game is enthralling from beginning to end. [h3]Pros[/h3] Charming visuals. Memorable soundtrack. A nice and unpredictable story. The game gives you enough feedback after every game over.(And honestly, you barely lose progress) [h3]Cons[/h3] Navigating is a little hard outside the lab. Some of the events in the last part of the game were a little too silly to my taste, with some weird music choices. I feel like the mistery of her sister ended up taking a back seat by the end of the game. Having to manually save the game every once in a while. Lack of settings options.(I wasn't even able to have the game on fullscreen)
セールのときに117円(税込)で購入しました。 110円の古本を買って読むみたいな感覚で楽しめました。 イラストとBGMで醸し出される独特の雰囲気が良いですね。 操作性は少し悪いですが読み進めるのに支障はありません(マウスを使用)。
Classical and interesting.
