Water tank| 貯水槽

[h1]仄暗い水の底からを彷彿とさせるサイコホラー[/h1] 全10エンディング回収済み。 エンディングが10種と豊富で様々なホラー展開があり面白かった。 前作「廃ドライブイン」よりエンディングへの導線が改善した一方、謎解きの要素は薄めになってしまったので少し寂しい。 ゾクッとするようなホラーが好きな人にオススメ。

Horror by way of Marie Kondo? You play as Tetsuo, a man living in a typical 1LDK who has just been served divorce papers, in this story-based walking sim drama. On the roof of your apartment complex is a sinister water tank. On the ground floor, there is a dirty young girl avoiding her alcoholic father. On your floor, there are concerned neighbors discussing recycling/trash procedures and preaching de-cluttering gospel. They hand you a book about it. When you get to your apartment, you realize that nearly everything in it reminds you of your wife. What you throw away determines your ending. Will you toss away the more sinister items such as a knife? Will you throw away your memories? What about your dreams of traveling to Hawaii or having children? Will you throw away the book on de-cluttering itself? If you have ever been fascinated by the true stories of the Edogawa Jane Doe of the Shinozaki Pump Station dismemberment case, Elisa Lam, or the appallingly frequent appearances of criminals appearing in Taiwanese water tanks, this game captures the feeling of being a disturbed individual who has the potential to wind up in a water tank or put someone in one well, right down to the possible influence of pills/insanity. The graphics are simplistic and reminiscent of early Chilla's Art games. They are serviceable and atmospheric enough. It's a rather short game that is meant to be played multiple times to unlock the various endings (there's 10). If you're looking for a terrifying fast-paced game or a game with chases, you won't find any of that here. It's a relaxed walking simulator intent on delivering its melancholic story (though a few of the endings delve into supernatural occurrences that are possibly terrifying). All of that being said, it's a rather cheap game and completely worthy of its price. [i]For English language buyers, this game is (as of writing this review) not 100% translated into English from Japanese. Lines of dialogue sporadically go back and forth from English to Japanese. If you know a basic level of Japanese or are crafty enough to use Google Lens or something, it won't present any real problem (most of it is slow moving dialogue text giving you plenty of time to translate yourself, if need be).
