Homicipher

i didnt expect to love this game so much that i would clock in 10 hours straight just to 100% this game for all endings and all CGs!! i would say this isnt really a 'romance' visual novel game but its equally as entertaining with a ton of story branches and lore. also, the language deciphering element!! super fun. had me wrecking my brain but once you got a good amount of words in, it gets easier! highly recommended! MR CRAWLING!!!! such a precious bean! Mr Chopped too!! super adorable

I did not like Homicipher at all. All the reviews I see about this game praise specifically Mr Crawling and barely anything about the gameplay or story or anything than 'hot monster man' which frustrates me severely. Having a game be about language deciphering is amazing, I love a fun language-based puzzle game but the translation team for the english localization did this game dirty. Some of the words have multiple meanings like would & should using the same word, as well as the monsters speaking in broken english defeats the very purpose of the game. When you do have a full correct dictionary the monsters still talk like children with very rudimentary sentences, which makes the decoding/point of the game way more difficult by this decision. I also found the story to be strange and roundabout and the art honestly kind of bad to look at it, and not in a good visceral way. I only review games once I beat them/get an ending and once I got a true ending that wasn't a death I was so thankfully to finally get this game over with. It is such a slog to play and I wish I could enjoy it like so many others do but it seems like the little enjoyment people seem to talk about are the monster men which are just kind of nothing to write home about. Maybe I'll give it another chance and try to see all the endings but by god is this game boring and tedious. I can see the appeal and I don't fault others for enjoying it if they like what's presented to them but its a bad language puzzle game flat out. I have very little time in this game because it felt grating to play but I see others with much more time clocked in, maybe hopefully it gets better and more palatable because I want to like this game but unfortunately not for me.

uh.. hot men.. i think i like the one wit black hair.. cutiest puppy boy >_<

제작자가 이상한 놈임

this has to be my favourite game of all time. one day, i will write a big review

можно нормальный перевод а не это все

honestly, i had very high expectations for this game back when it came out due to the fanbase and content I saw. When I actually bought and played the game, everything was very tedious. All the characters seem very shallow and in the long run don't matter unless youre playing for a specific ending. you don't get to "romance" any of the characters and the deciphering part of the game was so exhausting it just isn't very good in hindsight. It is a very unique concept, which I like, and also how the mc we are playing has interesting lore. I feel like for an otome like this that focuses more on the mc than the "love interests", it lacks in gameplay and plot in trying to do both. (plot as in the mc's adventure) So overall, this game was very tiring for me and had no lasting impact. Regret buying this game. (This is my first review so bear with me if my review upsets you or doesn't make sense)
