Reviews
È una visual novel NSFW (anche se alcuni contenuti hot possono essere limitati non inserendo i contenuti dell'espansioen), ma estremamente raffinata e - al netto di una traduzione non sempre professionalissima - scritta davvero molto bene. La trama, l'atmosfera morbosa, la qualità della scrittura sono avvincenti, ti lasciano a finire le run senza nemmeno aver avvertito un attimo di stanca. Le scelte non sono troppe, ma decisamente determinanti, visto che possono cambiare in alcuni momenti l'intero assetto della storia. Selene è un personaggio affascinante e pericoloso e tutto mi ha dato l'idea di essere una versione "adulta" di Catherine della Atlus. Lo consiglio senza riserve.
довольно интересная история, но грустное багованное последнее достижение, которое я так и не смог забрать( а в целом рекомендую, только тут есть кровяка и психодел немножко
