About

"How terrible to think that such a bright and noble man is nearing his end. What will we do without our pillar?"
Estranged for a couple of years, a young man rushes back to his childhood home. Dismayed by the news of his father losing his sight and inching closer to his demise, Marius, a priest in training, suspends his long studies at the seminary to be close in his final days to the man who taught him dignity and stalwartness. Under the gloom of impending death, the oldest son of honorable Leon Rosenthal can’t conceive the encroaching events that his arrival will unfold, equally exhilarating and petrifying.

"I've met her. Lord, this was not the first impression I wanted to make!"
Play as Marius as he returns to his childhood home in an attempt to reconnect with his ailing father, stern mother and overwhelmed younger brother. Much to your surprise, your household now employs an alluring young maid, Irina, who charms you from the first sight. But your blossoming romance will soon be tested as a shocking death shakes the feeble balance of this noble family.

"You took my life away from me, tried to bury me in suffering. All that you gave and all that I was, you took away until I was nothing but a bitter shadow of my former self."
The Crimson Maid is an adventure game focused on dialogues, exploration and light puzzle solving. Speak to Irina and your family to discover how they feel, their deep desires and what they may be hiding. Rummage around the mansion and the surrounding estate for clues, optional puzzles, misplaced documents and insights into the family and its past. Embark on a journey of self discovery as Marius comes to terms with his choices, their consequences and the unexpected legacy of his lineage.

"Unintentional, you say? Yes, I suppose one could unintentionally sneak behind me naked, delighting in the view, then trying to get a peek from the side too."

This game was fine and felt fun but its definetly a play maybe 3 times type of game. the story is short and the choices are kinda bare I feel like if it had more of a slow burn and like 5 or 6 more hours of gameplay showing them getting to know eachother or his family more it would have been better. The graphics were good and I recommend playing if you want a chill game that has some cute moments and you can finish in a sitting.
This was by far one of my favorite story games ever, 10/10, i loved every second! even though i might have made some wronge choices..
Pretty good. Took me about 5.5 hours. Not a horror game. More of a dramatic 3d visual novel with some puzzles toward the end.
Gyönyörű látvány és környezet. Mondjuk imádom a viktoriánus kort és a steampunk-ot, szóval nagyon bejön ^^ Nekem nagyon tetszik a történet. Ugyan voltak már megérzéseim hamarabb, mint ahogy kideültek a dolgok, de a csavarok nagyon tetszettek. Ha valaki szereti a story játékokat, ezt mindenképpen egy kötelező darab. Jó kis dark romance :) Nekem bejött. Még a többi befejetést is meg kell csinálnom, de közel a platina :P
If it's not fun why bother?
First time trying a game of this genre, and it's very relaxing! The puzzles I've done so far were simple and enjoyable and the story is interesting to follow. I'd say one of the strongest suits of the game is the environment, it's beautifully crafted. Great job devs!
After some internal struggle, I decided to give it a try anyway, despite the steep price tag (-_-) The story isn't bad, but it lacks something truly intriguing Sometimes I could guess what was coming next Overall, if you take out the romance subplo it's actually pretty good By the way, you probably already figured out who the traitor is, haven't you?!
What we have here is a classic example of the detective genre. Although it does include elements of a visual novel and puzzles, the drama and even a romance subplot are particularly prominent. I’m not sure, but it seems like the developer is trying to tug at the players’ heartstrings (perhaps without even meaning to), and there’s a certain <25th frame> effect here. Visual style is beautiful—there’s no denying that. *The Crimson Maid* isn’t just about exploration; it’s not merely a detective investigation -it explores the entire spectrum of the human life cycle. Sometimes you feel sympathy for the characters, sometimes disgust, and sometimes even fear. Everyone will probably find something here for themselves, but I found variety and replayability. Mixed feelings, mixed review. Thats exactly why I think the developers succeeded in their mission. Cheers!
I am leaving this review to give it a solid thumbs up. The thumbnails and presentation at a glance appeared to be 'slopware', but upon further investigation and playing it for myself, giving it a chance, what I found was actually pretty darn good. It told a story, it kept me intrigued and the narrative was easy to understand/follow. I think the devs are onto something here and with some more work on the models and even the gameplay itself (more interactions with the world and puzzles, less walking sim feel, though thats not entirely a bad thing) and more voice, I think you guys can make it big! Thanks for the entertaining story and the reasonable price! I will also be checking out more of the Dev's work.
