The Crimson Maid

[h1] Beautiful, charming and mysterious - just like the real heroine of this twisted story! [/h1] Paying this game feels like reading a short late Victorian/early Edwardian novel. Its music, gorgeous detailed interiors, and atmosphere transport you straight to the early 1900s. And just like not every novel has to be a masterpiece, there are smaller stories that still deserve your attention and ones that completely hook you for an evening and leave you wanting more. (That's why I bought their other game :3) This isn't a big game, but its art, interiors, classical music, atmosphere, characters, and story make it worth experiencing. You should be prepared for: [list] [*] Cheap animations, [*] A lot of reading, since the game isn't fully voiced, [*] Music that can occasionally become repetitive, [*] A predictable story, with a few twists that may disappoint you or make you laugh if you're not a fan of that kind of reveal, [*] "I can fix her" trope (If you want), [*] Very simple puzzles, [*] AI art [/list] That said, the good far outweighs the negatives. The story is still engaging and enjoyable, exploration is interesting and it pays off, the puzzles are satisfying enough to solve etc. So if you like 3d novels with rare light puzzles and exploration sequences - buy it, this game deserves your attention! Or just play the demo first - and it’s up to you to decide whether to accept it, flaws and all, or not ;) The main message of the story: [spoiler] Don’t cross Irina’s path: "She bamboozled an entire family, hooked up with both the father and the son, and got the MC's brother hooked on drugs and somehow still got a happy ending" [/spoiler] bih wtf ?!

The hardest part is not falling in love with this game, because it punishes you for it with such a sudden twist... Brrrrrr. Creepy.

nice romanian game

Its basically a point and click with limited scope – the focus is on story (which is all about unfolding the mystery), light puzzles, and finding secrets. It's a rather short game which you can complete it in an evening or two. There aren't that many choices, but there's enough to replay parts of it, at least. The story definitely kept me intrigued and was compact enough to never get boring.

I like the atmosphere and the pacing. + I can play on epic graphics with my 1070

画面超级精美，物超所值，如果有语音就是完美。赞！！！

Overall the game looks great and the puzzles are pretty interesting too. First person view is done really well, but the facial expressions on the main character and other characters kind of ruin the moment whenever they show up. That's really the only thing that stands out.

刚开始游玩的体验还是可以的，建模和优化都挺不错。但是随着故事推进，整个游戏文本显得越来越幼稚，节奏越来越奇怪。莫名其妙的对话，轻易就被男主发现的惊天秘密，所有人物都跟三岁小孩一样随心所欲。最让人难以忍受的就是游戏里随处可见的ai图片，每次看到男主对着ai图追忆往昔就很让人难绷，在紧张的时刻还要摆弄他那个ai拼图，太逆天了。这是第一款让我感觉生理不适想吐的游戏，从各个角度来说都是。如果是冲着女主的建模来的兄弟，只能说快跑！跑的越快越好！

This is a hidden gem for sure. There were things I expected, and certain things I would've NEVER expected. [i] If you know, you know. [/i] But it's a good mystery thriller with a loving romance story. I do think the game is a bit slow to start, but makes a big leap halfway through that keeps it's pace towards the end. There was one puzzle that took me a while, but overall the puzzles are pretty easy. The worldbuilding is good and there's plenty of detail in the game despite it being in a pretty small location. I do have to say that while the art is beautiful, it icks me that AI has been involved with it. I just hope it's been used more as a tool rather than the replacing of talented people, because I can see talented people worked on this game. All in all, solid fun game. Worth a single playthrough IMO. The kind of game I didn't know I was looking for until I found it.

The murder at the mansion had everyone on edge, but Irina was still just too gorgeous ;)
