割とよかった
絵は慣れが必要だけど、しばらくすれば気に入ってくる

was pretty good the art gets some getting used to but after awhile it grows on you

プレイしたのは1年くらい前だったか？
結構よかった。前半と比べると後半はイマイチだったけど、最後まで楽しくプレイできた。神や民俗学的にまつわる面白いテーマを扱っていたし、陽明もなかなかいい主人公だった

2ch発の都市伝説とラブクラフトを組み合わせた記者のエクストラストーリーは、オリジナルの都市伝説を知らなかったからしばらくのあいだ心に強く残った
あとこの画像がベストのエンドな

I read it I want to say about a year ago? Pretty good, I thought the second half was weaker than the first, but it was a fun ride all the way through. There were some really interesting themes introduced with all the god and folklore stuff. Haruaki was also a pretty nice protagonist. The Extra story with the reporter that copied that 2ch hell train story and combined it with Lovecraft really stuck with me for a while since I hadn't heard of the original train story before that. Pic related was best ending

The game is a literal 10/10 for the first 80%, then it becomes a 6/10 at best. At first I thought that the story drops the ball after the end of the "Darkness" chapter but now I see the truth. The beginning of said chapter marks the steep decline in quality: from the retarded explanation for why the feast participants kill when they are chosen as wolves (why would the reporter kill anybody when she wasn't even religious and didn't believe in that stuff?) to the omega spider monster at the end along with making the joke sheep character part of the story it is a huge clusterfuck. Imagine trying to explain every instance of unnatural occurences as man-made in a somewhat far-fetched manner and decide that the biggest mystery (the spider) is just "magic lol". Fuck off.

エンディングはつまらなかった

>その一族は何世代にもわたって殺人を画策していた
>そして主人公との5分間の会話のあと、それをやめることに同意する
>エピローグの途中、何らかの理由で一族は終わり、それによって彼らは報いを受けたことになる

シナリオのギミックは面白かったけどね。次はもっと社会派推理ゲームをプレイしてからもっとマシなシナリオを書いていただきたいですね

The ending sucked. >this clan has been orchestrating murders for generations >after a five minute conversation with the protagonist, they agree to stop >and then they go bankrupt during the epilogue for some reason so they did get their comeuppance after all Entertaining gimmick though. I'd like to see more visual novels play with social deduction games, just hopefully with better writing next time.

Read revelation mode

Not them but regardless if it makes sense trough revelation mode it still was poorly presented and done in the main game and can not be fully salvaged no matter the explanation. This is actually a common occurrence with mystery fags. They think just because more information is revealed outside the main content it somehow salvages the poorly implemented writing. No other genre fag will ever be this retarded. Everyone else reads and judges stories at their face value while taking into account writing and pacing and general plot circumstances while mysteryfags never fucking care if the story sucked shit. As long as it somehow makes sense to them at the end of the day it doesn't matter to them.

like 50% of the game is revealed in REVELATION mode. It's how it is written. You literally don't know shit until you play as it's the other half of the story.

>like 50% of the game is revealed in REVELATION mode That's a bit of an exaggeration. Not much is revealed that you don't already know. It just demonstrates what the characters were thinking now that you the player understand after the ending what their motivations and roles all were. It's an interesting piece of additional writing, but I don't know what exactly you think it explains that wasn't already.

主人公は俺みたいなやつだったな
このゲームが大好きだから、日本語が読めなくて同じライターのデスマッチラブコメをプレイできないのが残念だ

最終ルートは情報の洪水みたいになってたけど、悲しいことに最後のほうではどうでもよくなってしまった。燃え尽きてしまったから、おまけシナリオはひとつもやらなかったけど、暴露モードと隠しエンドには目を通した
このゲームが時々シリアスであることをやめるのは好きだけど、同時にシリアスであってほしいと思うところも何度かあった
超常的なものとそうでないものを勝手に決めるゲームが本当に嫌いだった。最初の段階ではループの力がそれで、残りはすべて不思議な力とは無関係で、主人公はどうすればそれらを合理的に説明できるかを考えているように見えた。しかし最終的には、それらのいくつかは不思議な力によるものだったことが明らかにされる

あとは、この狼な。やれやれ。このCGは何度も見せられるけど、見たまんま超常的な巨大な獣として描かれている。主人公と千枝実はそれと戦うが決して勝てない。おまけに、ただのコスプレした男だということにも気づかない？ 本気か？ そしてトゥルーエンドでは突然こいつらは怪物ではなくなり、ボコられるようになる。あれにはイラっと来た

このゲームが面白かったからこそ、こんな風にボロクソ言ってるんだとわかってほしい

The protagonist is literally me. I loved the game and now I'm just sad that I can't read Jap or else I'd read the other VN written by the same person, Death Match Love Comedy. Although the last route of the game was such a clusterfuck of info-dumping, I sadly stopped giving a shit towards the end. I didn't even read through more than one of the extra scenarios because I was burnt out, but I obviously went back to read the internal monologues and secret endings. I liked how the game stopped taking itself seriously at some points but at other times I wish it would try to take itself seriously. I really disliked the game deciding what was and wasn't supernatural too. The initial setting seemed to just be the looping power and the rest was supposed to be explainable without magic shenanigans, the protagonist seems to make a point of trying to figure out how to explain things rationally. But towards the end it's revealed that nah, some of this shit IS magic. Also the fucking werewolf. Fuck off. This CG was shown so many times, it's very clear from the drawing it's a hulking beast and described as supernatural. The protagonist and Chiemi try to fight it and can NEVER win. But they never ever realise it's just a dude in a costume? Are you serious? And then in the true ending they can suddenly be beaten and aren't so monstrous anymore? Holy shit that pissed me off. I'm only able to rag on the game like this though because I enjoyed it.

試しに、そのCGに嘘はなくただミスリーディングを誘っただけ説を唱えてみる
階段のすぐ上にその着ぐるみがいて、家がはるか後方にあった場合、ゴジラのように見える可能性はある。特にCGの視点が非常に低い位置にあったらそう見えるかもしれない

let me play doubles advocate for a second and try to bullshit a way for this CG to not be wrong, but only incredibly misleading if the furry is right on top of the steps and the house if far behind, then it might look like it's godzilla, especially since it looks like the point of view in the CG is very low to the ground.

Eh. The plants at the top of the steps are clear as they are not shrouded in mist, but the figure is. Good try though, but then take into account there's a whole part of the game where Chiemi and Haruaki loop a fuck ton of times in an attempt to kill the werewolf but they always lose. Maybe because there are several of them, but they either conveniently lose enough memory to never grasp it's a human or are just retarded.

kek it was kind of obvious, though

正直に言え
こいつを狼だと思ったか？ どの辺りでそう思った？

Be honest /v/. Did you suspect him to be the wolf? When did it click for you?

I knew there was something off about him (especially him needing to do "something" when he was chosen to hang), but him being the wolf was fucking bullshit and you know it.

>しなきゃいけないことがある
>黙れじじい
>くくってポイー

ここ最高

>I.. have to do some things >shut up old man >*gets hanged This was the most based moment.

This. Every time Wolfman was selected, I loved how Hanzo just punched and hanged him without second doubts. Absolutely based.

Ending was shit but first three games were 9/10. Recommendations for similar stuff?

unironically the games of the people that were praising this game Danganronpa Zanki Zero 999 (VLR is good, I would not recommend the last game, though) Higurashi Yu No Euphoria if you don't mind the doo doo Enigma <- super underrated and not well known

Is Higurashi real mystery or some all over the place mix like Umineko?

Higurashi features a lot of slice of life, but there is a genuine mystery where it's perfectly possible for a reader to deduce most of the answers, the nature of the mysteries, and the culprit or culprits after the first 4 question arcs. There's no metaworld shit like Umineko either.

the only thing I thought was retarded was the whole "Haruaki has no inner sense of right and wrong" thing. It's never used for anything other than letting him stay calm, be brutal as fuck in Darkness and to explain how God was never spotted on him by Chiemi

>be brutal as fuck in Darkness I'm pretty sure that's exactly why it was introduced, I remember the dissonance between routes actually making me uncomfortable when I first played it with how easily he was able to kill the other villagers for the sake of solving the mystery

I liked that because Old man was like "dude, this guy is dangerous and wants to steal this place from me. I'm gonna sank him" Revelation mode is really good for those little details

Anyone else wish every VN had a voiced protagonist? It makes the protagonist so much better and gives him so much personality. Curse self insert coomers for having crippled VNs and made it traditional for the protagonist not to be voiced.

Yes, very good, however...the biggest asspull is that nobody knows Haruaki's name, not even Sheep. Who the fuck goes around the world always using a fake name? I get using a pseudonym for a book, everything else is dumb.

Haruaki's a giant troll, he probably just finds it funny. I considered doing that at one point as I traveled around Europe too

I thought some of the ending stuff was a bit confusing (Some people had legit superpowers) But otherwise, fantastic VN. The zero escape style of mystery where the protagonist gains information over multiple timelines makes me hard as FUCK.

>この怒りっぽくて自己中な野郎が、最終的には主人公の戯言を信じてくれる最高の仲間となり、すべてが終わった後には女をもゲットすること

最高か

>Angry an egocentric asshole ends up being the best bro and the only one that actually believes your bullshit and after much trouble ends up getting the girl too Pretty based.

he gets the turboslut and a life in the boonies how much of a winner was he

Well from that video alone made me interested in this game

>playing mystery games after reading threads discussing them do people really

ここどういう意味だったんだろうね

What did she mean by this?

This was hotter than actual VN sex scenes.

>when the game reveals she fucked literally everyone from the village, even if they were just kids >one of them develops an attraction to her as a result Jesus

>ロマンスの相手は、嬉々として主人公を殺しにかかる統失女と、ヘンタイビッチと、多重人格のツンデレであること

ベストガールは言うまでもないよね

>Romance choices are a total shizo that gets off killing you, a perverted whore, and a split personality tsundere Best girl is obvious

HAPYAPYAP

>Kemco, a company that's known for shitty mobile JRPGs clearly poured their heart and soul into making a quality VN Goddamn what a pleasant surprise. More devs need to make passion projects funded by their shovelware.
