Reviews
BURIED STARS is a extraordinary visual novel where the characters and the plot are top-notch among other visual novels. Through the gameplay, it shows the characters have different aspects of personality instead of a single generic side. For example, [spoiler]at the beginning Hyesung is being obnoxious to everyone, but you would find out in time there are reasons to justify his behaviour.[/spoiler] The story is logical and coherent. There are no plot holes that would break your immersion in the game. While the motivation behind each character is authentic and compelling. The climax at the end was extremely satisfying, as it wrapped up all of the secrets and mysteries. But I've got to say the communication segment is the worst part of the game, where you talk to the characters to find out clues and information. But it is so poorly paced that I want to just skip that part. But in order to do the rapport events, you will have to grind through the dialogues. And I really dislike it. Although I hate that segment, if you can get through those parts. The phenomenal writing justifies all of the boring segments you did. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a compelling, evocative crime story. P.S. I think playing it with Korean dub would be more immersive, since it's a Korean game.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

我买的悬疑小说怎么变成男同文了(doge ———————————————————————— 剧情挺不错,蛮有意思的,每个角色的性格也都挺鲜明的,如果当成纯小说来看我还蛮喜欢的 印象深的除了true end就是c线(吓了一大跳) 就是游玩过程太牢了。。 重复内容太多了,虽然有跳过但是未阅读内容也会跳,挺难受的 存档只能在与大家对话时候存,中途选择线索推理选错了想重来就要倒老长一段(虽然有Ctrl跳过但是有时候还得重新按选项 跟着攻略打完全成就就不想搞别的收集了,累,,
At first I was a little annoyed because there were some characters I just absolutely could [b]not[/b] make happy without looking up a guide. But I realized I was annoyed with the characters, not the game, and fell in love, because that unpredictability made each character feel truly fleshed out and real instead of just a node to interact with. I don't think every single ending is worth the time, but the ones that stand out are definitely worth hunting for.
为了收集全成就打了恐怖线,吓飞了😥
xbox 패드로 게임 하는데 계속 중간중간에 키가 안먹히고 지 멋대로 왔다갔다 합니다;; 다른 게임들도 패드로 즐기는데 이 게임만 패드가 잘 안먹네요
Interesting VN that serves as a huge criticism of K-Idol culture and of the impact of social media. The overall mystery is not very complex, especially if you're a fan of the genre; but it was satisfying none the less. The focus is on information asymmetry. Particularly how individuals deal with unfair social media trolling. The first 5-6 hours are pretty slow, and then things pick up substantially. The characters start off as snobbish, distant, and selfish; but as you progress through more of the game they really grow on you. They're all flawed in their own ways. There are no 'perfect' individuals here, and I like that. For criticisms, the translation is shoddy in places. Spelling errors, and even incorrect information being given. I also curse the game's UI or lack thereof. Putting together clues is a big part of solving the mystery, but there are some sequences where you just can't access your 'master' list of all clues gathered to review them which is pretty frustrating. Ace Attorney solved this UI issue in 2001. Why is there no 'Court Record' equivalent in this game I can access at any time?!
演出非常棒,开局很吸引人,可惜推理部分过于套路,而关卡数值又太按头了。 因为看过太多很早就猜出真相,导致后半段游戏体验完全是坐牢,看主角团一路紧张焦虑无法共情,只想要一个掀桌指证选项。TvT 要说可以嗑cp,遗憾好像也并未届到传说中的感天动地基佬情…… 应该只能算中评。
韩系悬疑文字悬疑群像AVG,坍塌演唱会废墟之中,被困的明星们上演的生存悬疑故事。媒体舆论、明星人设、生存压力交织,娱乐圈悬疑题材很少见。 人物塑造十分鲜活,每个角色都藏着秘密,人性的博弈刻画得很到位。 多分支多结局,你的报道选择会改变舆论走向,进而影响角色命运,选择的分量很重。 主线剧本质量很高,反转层出不穷,前期铺垫,后期不断回收伏笔。 部分选项迷惑性强,一不小心就走向坏结局,建议多存档。
슈퍼스타K의 추억. 그럭저럭 할 만함.
太长了导致感觉有点臭,总体看完觉得蛮不错的。还是剧情太冗长了,线索概括得很暧昧不知道是不是翻译得问题,对话选择更是槽点。
