Is this game for everyone? NO Is this game for me? YES
I liked it /but/ I was specifically warned that this was a dark game. I bought that game on it's premise, and I felt how it did satisfied me. The plot isn't very deep but I like the variety of love interests. However, I didn't like how the character reacted at many times. I'm not talking about the choices you made but more so what the character made NO MATTER what you chose. Unless you're ready to accept you may enter a bad ending quickly then you might find yourself frustrated and upset often. There is many times the consequences of action didn't entirely make sense. TL;DR - if you want a dark romance play this or you'll be disturbed and frustrated with it.
После этой замечательной игры у меня развилась шизофрения и раздвоение личности. Эмоциональные качели меня укачали. Арты будто бы я рисовала. Ставлю класс за озвучку и вышеперечисленные психические заболевания. Теперь стало понятно куда ушел весь бюджет.

his game is best game i played my life, omg this game really so good!!! opening music so so so good...
This game has an heir of beautiful sadness. The MC goes through a lot of trauma and faces hopelessness at each turn but maintains a fighting spirit. I loved the different endings and found myself rooting for Isanami to find happiness. One of the cons would be that it seemed more effort was put into the bad endings than the good endings. I would enjoy seeing more thought put into Isanami's joy rather than her horror in the sequel. There is creativity at work here and lore that can be unlocked in the Secret Room. Reading the character's background stories and lore on reapers, Nephilim, and vampires made the second playthrough enriching and worth the effort. I do feel like Isanami reacts in a realistic manner based on her circumstances which makes her relatable. I would love to see Isanami have a true ending that's positive when her story comes to an end. Maybe her powers as a Nephilim can grow so she's not such an easy target and forces the supernatural beings that want her to work harder. I think it would send an empowering message for Isanami to battle through such horrors and come out as a victor. It is hard to find Otome games like Theory of Fear and I definitely bought it initially for the hot scenes (which are pretty damn steamy). I didn't expect to grow to love the characters as quickly as I did. I disagree with the reviews that state this game lacks creativity because the creators clearly put effort into making the love interests unique and they took time to create backgrounds that fit in seamlessly with the game. The music is nice, the characters are awesome, and I can't wait for Theory of Fear 2. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
