About
"Curse of the Shadow" is a BL-themed horror visual novel

◈Total storyline features approximately 100,000 words of text, nearly 40 exquisite CGs, and offers 2–5 hours of gameplay.
◈The game includes 2 romanceable characters, with endings covering 6 Bad Endings (BE) + 2 Happy Endings (HE). Each HE is followed by an epilogue chapter.
◈The game contains supernatural horror, death, blood, paranormal elements, and BL (Boys' Love) content (accounting for about 15%, with horror as the main focus). Please purchase as needed.
◈The game contains adult content such as suicide, self-harm, and extreme violence. Minors should not purchase it.
◈The values and ways of thinking conveyed in the game's plot are relatively subjective and personal, lacking rigorous reasoning and logic. Please purchase at your discretion.
◈This work shares the same worldview as the previous title " PinYuAn Tales" but is set in a different timeline. The two protagonists from the previous game will make guest appearances here. This is a standalone work—no need to play the previous game to enjoy it.

优点:完成度比较高,该有的都有。这么说好像有点奇怪,不该是基本要求吗?但是其实很多游戏连基本要求都达不到;喜欢这种实拍+手绘的美术风格;氛围营造也还算到位,评价依然是该呈现的呈现到了。 缺点:文案有点拖沓,人物刻画有点平,不太吸引我,我是冲着灵异的部分玩下去的,但是这部分内容有点少;最后游戏流程有点短,但是介于定价也可以接受吧。 我的评分:3/5
1.画面:主控阵亡那几张CG冲击力很强,角色各有高光,秋千女孩那几幕亮眼,亡灵氛围到位(但居然没突脸?)最喜欢亭心湖场景,湖上熙 贤同框的刻画,赞 2.人物:熙→人设协调,典型狗塑(虽然本人不吃狗₁),但阳光男孩就是很好呀,cg中规中矩都没崩(感冒照顾和高铁撑头cg赞)熙线主打纯爱,个人感觉偏平淡(可能缺亲密互动?) 贤→就算他是猫₁吧(毒舌不伤肝,在意不肉麻)初稿线稿阴湿味更浓,或许头发再长一点会更美(不然有种学霸为爱留长发的坚毅感?)有几张CG略违和,接吻CG好评,扭曲中带良知的感情线有一点亲密也很兴奋(毕竟网上男鬼太无法无天,这种节制反而更令人沸腾) 明镜→摄影文艺男,不用多说(虽然我不常吃这款) 副西皮→没啥感觉,不吃狗₁猫º 3.剧情:第一关楼梯道就选成三人阵亡,直接愣住…殉了两次情,三周目才过贤HE,直白索吻,这小子是每天都在想吧?推熙线时曾猜“难道是要两人联手KO他,再慢慢治愈相互在一起”,显然我太激进了(笑),原以为摆脱“塑你为神”的办法只有强推或自毁,但小贤果然是个有良知的男鬼啊…(不过其实是为了顺利推进感情线把另一角色的戏份掐了吧,真发生强推情节,估计又成BE了)

Plain script and drawing, neither intriguing nor profound. One of the characters' design bears a high resemblance to Kawase in Hashihime. I even played Hashihime again just to leave this review... Such a pity.
太好玩啦!
感觉限制于游戏体量的原因,结局稍微有些匆忙了。能感受到作者的用心,互动性还是很强的,也很清晰明了地展示了结局收集的攻略,体验感非常不错,剧情也很对我口味。
嘿嘿好玩
剧本写的太短平快啦,缺乏打动人心的力量,悬疑氛围也不够足,再打磨一下吧。 但是20r能尝到这种完成度已经很不错了,鼓励好评
absolutely love this game as much as xia sixian's route ! thankyou and im looking forward to your next game >u<
感情线有点突兀(我不是冲着bl来玩的其实可以给个友情结局),有点介意真相没揭穿,受害者家属还在受折磨 _(:зゝ∠)_cg还是很在线的,看了评论区决定玩一下买了好几年还没玩的桥姬,积灰的switch启动!
I strongly recomend play the free demo, like if you like the demo, you probably would like the rest of the game. Personally, I would keep an eye open for any release from the developer ~ (If you ever translate Pi Yu An game also let us know! I know that it's not in the plans but i would love to read it too)
