The Letter - Horror Visual Novel

I guess given the quality of of the voice acting and the amount of game there is, this is worth your time if you're into visual novels. There are some pretty crazy paths you can go down which make the results wildly different which is commendable I suppose. Thing is, a few days after playing it I couldn't remember more than maybe 3 characters names, and months later I don't remember a single one. So in that regard it's pretty forgettable.

i genuinely like this VN like holy each characters , the more i get to know them, the more i love how they are as characters. I just doesnt seem fake you know?

Pick it up on a sale! Not my usual cup of tea, but it kept me engaged and was genuinely a fun experience.

good game

篇幅太长了，文本量巨大，恐怖元素和恋爱元素占比相当，适合玩文游很投入也不会睡着的人

I am SO sorry. I keep trying, this scares me too much to play. I can't play it, but I'll rate it up for that reason. (ಥ_ಥ)

[h1] 关于我玩恐怖游戏却逼我复习DFS(深度优先遍历)这件事----又名恐怖的不是故事，而是全分支的数量！ [/h1]---[h2] 你懂什么叫60h第七章只解锁75%？ [/h2] 我不明白（奉化口音），为什么大家都在谈论着看攻略，仿佛这17年的老游戏，对于我们全成就党是凶多吉少。 10几天前，我登录steam，开始了游戏入库加游玩，各种分支支线归于一统。本鼠标本键盘所到之处，成就竭诚欢迎，真可谓占尽天时，那种勃勃生机、成就解锁的快感，犹在眼前。 短短2h后，这里竟至于一变而为我的葬身之地了吗？ 无论怎么讲，算法时间复杂度，是O (logn)-O (n)，优势在我！ 变态作者啊!主线流程大概12小时！而要是试全分支，我花了60h只能收集前6章！！！ 为了完成全成就我决定写一个自动遍历全分支的脚本！AutoHotkey！启动！hak文件已就位，你就跑吧，你要我自己试我不知道我要猴年马月才能点完全收集，那我就一个笨办法开启游戏文本最快速，然后深度优先遍历，你就跑吧，啊啊啊，我还要针对不同路线写对印的脚本！啊啊啊啊！ 支线收集吐槽完毕--下面是本体的感受 ------------------------------------------------------- 除开一些强行的lgbt（确实也只有一点点）和一些非常冗长的争吵内容，真挺不错的。。算了，忍不了，还是吐槽一下吧，讲道理，如果好朋友都不能信任伊莎贝拉那算什么好朋友，而且了发生了这么多奇怪的事，居然还不能交心的说出来吗？真的感觉到了文化差异，欧美作品总有这种莫名其妙大战在即自己内部还吵来吵去的....之前我很喜欢的RWBY也是这样，mo大不在了后，剧情就变成这样，吵来吵去死活不推主线...看到头疼,真的就和一些俗套恐怖电影一样，各种不信邪，关键这样不容易把亚瑟顿刻画的和小丑一样吗？还有就是非真结局结局太仓促了，明明还有很多东西可以写的。。。然后就是本作还是缺乏那种一环套一环的悬疑设置，而是自始至终都只围绕一个悬疑展开，情节推进全靠主角团相信才能继续走下去...所以就导致本作看起来真的更像galgame...玩家与其在体验恐怖游戏，不如说是体验当月老？？？ 还有就是有些bug，不知道是不是分支太长，快速跳过的时候会闪退....中文会有部分文案bug（和之前玩的鬼成圣一样的毛病） 好了吐槽结束，除了上述槽点之外，总的来说人物塑造的还不错，虽然一直吵，但是情感也确实描写的比较真挚，几个好朋友之间的感情还是很有意思的，伊莎贝拉和亚瑟顿确实很甜，就是大多数丽贝卡单相思看着心疼啊。还有真结局为什么反而不是最好的结局呢~。 还有那个路克，虽然他可能有什么难言之隐啊，沉痛的过去啊什么的，但是目前为止我确实最不喜欢他...而且我以为的真结局应该是仔细讲讲本作大boss的故事，结果真就只靠剧情碎片拼凑啊（还有自己拼啊）。。。就有点虎头蛇尾。 还有特别值得夸的，也是让我忍住这么久的吐槽还是给了推荐的原因，就是本作时间轴和尾章结局的画风真的好好看，必有高人指点啊，说真的为什么不把立绘按那个画风来呢...我伊莎贝拉简直变成美神了，是真的真好看啊 最后忘记补充了，这游戏我掉了一张闪卡，哇，相当于免费玩了

Such a good visual novel! There's a lot more to it than I thought and I'm pleasantly surprised how vast it is. Love this game sm and I look forward to other games they put out!

the story is so rich i love it but for some reason the game reacts for like 15 seconds to load a menu idk why but the game is very good

You know what I don’t recommend? Trying to get 100% achievements in this game. You know what I do recommend? Actually playing it. The Letter is a phenomenal visual novel. I absolutely love the quick-time events (QTEs), the deep mystery, and the way your choices genuinely feel like they matter. With each character you play, you unearth new pieces of the puzzle until the full, twisted picture finally comes together. You'll love some characters, you'll absolutely despise others, and depending on the paths you take, you will either cry a lot or scream out loud. (Full disclosure: I’m a total scaredey-cat and this game definitely made me jump more than once on this trip). It is an excellent experience, but a word of warning to the completionists out there: achievement hunting in this game is an exercise in pure tedium. To get that 100%, you have to hunt down every single individual branching path. By the time you reach Chapters 6 and 7, those paths feel almost infinite, with literally hundreds of possibilities. It quickly turns into hours of skipping text, fast-forwarding, meticulous note-taking, and praying you didn't screw up a choice five hours ago, all just to get a single line of altered dialogue. The worst part? You've already unlocked every actual ending 20 hours prior. At that point, the game is no longer a game; it's a test of sanity. I absolutely adore this game. Just do yourself a huge favor: DON'T ACHIEVEMENT HUNT. (Says the person sitting here with 100% achievements).
