<Story>
Even in death, Kugayama Shiori takes her own life.
Maybe her next will finally be her last.
But no matter how many times she dies, her soul refuses to leave this world.
Maybe the answer lies in her lost memories.
Maybe there's a lingering attachment she's forgotten.
Other than her name, she remembers nothing.
Who was she?
Why did she die?
Together with you—the only living person who can still speak to her—
Shiori begins her search for her memories, and for the truth behind her death.

真结局前:人设亮眼,美术优秀,用自杀和灵异现象创造回忆,通过死亡的戏谑反衬出青春洋溢的佳作。 真结局后:感动还能再上一层。 简单的剧情,精心设计的叙事,真挚的情感。是个好故事。
キャラクターデザインと声はよく作られていたと思うが、ストーリーが全く刺さらなかった。 あと英語に切り替わるバグがあった。

意外是个很治愈的游戏呢
カシマレイコおもろい。子ども有能。
因为画风和设定来游玩,不过没想到这样的设定下是这样暖暖的结局,总体可以说是值回票价。问题就是各个分支的引导不够明确,没有攻略的话有时候不知道回溯到哪个节点,直接卡住。
キャラデザがめちゃくちゃ好みだったのと、好きなジャンルだったので遊ばせて頂きました。 TRUE END、とてもいいお話でした。ぜひ何の情報も入れずにプレイしていただきたいですね。 欲を言えばキャラがみんな良かったので、それぞれの見せ場もっと欲しかった。 単にもっと世界観に浸っていたかったので…ってかカシマレイコさん可愛すぎんだろぉ! プレイ時間は起動しっぱなし放置してたので、実際は10時間ぐらいかな?
This is an easy recommend. A literal non-horror ghost story at around 10-hour runtime. A pretty good one at that. Oh, although it is made by Laplacian, there is no romance plot in this game.Instead, it is an urban fantasy mystery that packs a surprising amount of philosophical ideas into a neat narrative package. The main ghost heroine, Shiori Kugayama, is an amusing and quirky lead. There are characters and rules to establish, and she does that well in the first half because she doesn't understand the rules either. Discovering the bits of rules of this world alongside her is pretty fun. The mystery plot is heartbreaking and dark. Sure, there are jokes here and there, specifically a lot of East Asian urban legend jokes and a few morbid and pop culture ones. But you know, ghost stories are usually about how people process their own endings. These backstories are quite disturbingly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, and most of the ghosts process those in an understated way that would actually hurt less if they're more dramatic. The latter half of the main story is solid and fast-paced. There are always new clues or twists right around the corner. The detective part is intriguing, and it has a surprisingly satisfying ending that feels earned. My only real gripe is the protagonist's personality, which is rather subdued. There is a valid narrative reason for that, and the eventual payoff is good. But a protagonist who barely talks still makes some conversations feel like Shiori is talking to a tree or something. Some lore segments feel like infodumps because our protagonist just doesn't say anything. The choice system is also a bit complicated. I did run into a narrative wall and had to consult a walkthrough to reach the normal/true endings.
死はあなたと彼女の间の川に横亘され、赤足を踏み忘れ川に踏み込んだが、あなたは日夜分割して终わって死んだ命を守って、あなたは少し奇妙な悔恨を知らない可能性がある,许し解けないオリーブ枝を埋怨している。彼女が死んだ后、もう何かが起きていない、そしてあなた自身が死を切り返した沈默と诘问。🧠🦠🤳
不错的短篇avg,算是带点电波轻喜剧风格的微恐灵异推理吧。美术很好。官汉质量挺高,可惜还是偶有小错误,叙述诡计也没有处理得很完美。所有的伏笔都得到了回收这一点值得好评,总体来说值得推荐
