竟然还有前作的联动!美味!
超好玩,不太吓人,胆小人士友好
I really loved this game! Big thanks to the game developers for having this localized in english! At times, the translation is a bit awkward, but the story is so compelling it more than makes up for it. I really loved every chapter in Mingjing's story, and I'll definetely be there for any future projects!

Un excellent jeu pour un prix aussi bas! L'ambiance horrifique est très bien gérée et l'histoire arrive à rendre les personnages attachants, malgré le peu d'heures nécessaires pour finir le jeu à 100 % (environ 6h30 pour ma part). Les différentes fins sont plaisantes à découvrir et les choix mènent souvent à bien plus que de simples changements dans les dialogues, ce qui rend les reruns très agréables, puisqu'on découvre de nouvelles choses à chaque fois. Les dessins, designs et CGs sont magnifiques et très bien réalisés, le style s'intègre parfaitement aux décors et il n'y a aucun décalage dans la DA, le jeu est vraiment très plaisant visuellement. C'est réellement dommage que le jeu qui précède celui-ci n'ait pas de traduction anglaise, car il m'a l'air tout aussi intéressant, sachant qu'il se concentre sur les personnages secondaires de celui-ci (ce qui nous rend encore plus curieux à leur sujet tbh) Un très bon visual novel avec une belle histoire, qui mériterait peut-être un peu plus de temps pour développer certaines choses, notamment vers la fin/après la fin, mais qui mérite clairement d'être joué !
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)
Short Visual Novel. 2 Routes. Some creepy scenes. Overall a good read. Wish there were more.
特别喜欢!作者的画风特别牛逼,整体的UI游玩方式之类的都感觉很成熟,不会难以阅读,有一点轻微的恐怖元素,但我觉得还好,剧情不无聊,两位可攻略男主都非常不错,并且主角也超萌的。篇幅不长,大概两个小时就能全部收集,CG还挺多,对我来说是小而美的一部作品吧,总之非常推荐体验的!
