PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo

好游戏，就是流程有点太短了

在人狼村之后入坑的，如果说人狼村是一顿美味正餐，本所就是一份omakase，看着不错但是不顶饱，美术风格的确是很大的加分项，但是这个价位竟然连个配音都没有，也就还好bgm做的还比较有氛围感不然真的要给不推荐了，游玩体验上不同于传统avg的和场景交互玩法做的还比较有趣，恐怖氛围适中，有几个突脸还是挺吓人的，剧情方面几个咒主只着重描写了三位（差评），游玩前中期体验极佳，后期收尾比较仓促，给人一种明明还能续写但是工期到了随便糊弄一下赶紧结束的感觉，总体来说还是值得入手的一作

ネタバレを踏まずにやってください。気になったゲームは自分で体験するべき！

Oh, un jeu avec des évaluations extrêmement positives! Est-il pour vous? 1) D'une, si vous ne connaissez pas le genre, sachez que Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo n'est en fait pas un jeu. C'est une visual novel, un roman graphique. Autrement dit, il n'y a pas de "gameplay". Il faut juste cliquer pour faire défiler du texte (à peu de choses près). 2) De deux, la commu des joueurs de visual novels est du genre très enthousiaste. "Extrêmement positives" dans ce contexte n'a pas le sens qu'on peut lui donner pour d'autres types de jeu. Passons au jeu en lui-même : Les + : - au bout de 6h, on commence à être bien pris dans l'histoire. - le style graphique est sympa, de même que le lore, si on prend le temps de tout lire. - le jeu n'est pas trop long (12-13h) et il n'est pas nécessaire de refaire 15 fois chaque tableau pour avoir toutes les fins (ce qui est, à mon sens, le défaut rédhibitoire de la plupart des classiques du genre) Les - : - l'installation de l'histoire est longue: on s'ennuie parfois un peu pendant la première moitié du jeu. - l'ambiance n'a pas pris sur moi, du fait de certains personnages trop décalés par rapport au propos. - le récit est sympa, surtout si on aime le Japon, mais ne réinvente pas le genre de l'histoire de fantômes non plus. Au final : Si vous êtes nippophile, vous trouverez en "paranormasight..." une histoire de fantômes un peu longue à s'installer, un peu alambiquée, mais bien illustrée et user-friendly, qui occupera vos soirées pendant une semaine ou deux.

不错的游戏，尤其是美术我很喜欢，里面的人物是各有特色的好看，尤其是太太好美

[b]“My ♥♥♥♥ has led me places I wouldn’t even go with a gun”[/b] [i]-Shogo Okiie[/i] [hr][/hr] What I expected out of [b]Paranormasight[/b] was a detective mystery centered around paranormal events. What I got was: “Battle Royale: Cursed JoJo edition”. What I really got was: a 25-hour slog with no sense of pacing nor satisfying moments. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] It’s a visual novel, read through the novel part and click on prompts if you want some delivery to come first rather than later. The game also features small “branching paths”, under apostrophes because any branch that’s not the main narrative will see a quick 5-minute conclusion and no continuation. [h1]Story[/h1] Inside Tokyo, the Honjo area is said to be focus of paranormal activities, and the game will see cursed objects making their appearance in the hands of certain individuals along with the promise to fulfil something dear to them… The game is told through a “story chart” mechanic, basically a timeline where you’ll take control of various characters to see what each of them are doing in various points of this incident, many of them overlapping in time and place. [h1]X-Factor[/h1] Anime artstyle but with a much more paintly and comic-book feel to it. Atmosphere is nothing to sneeze at, muted colors, almost no music, film grain effects, and slow gameplay will make it feel like you’re taking an early stroll in a city that hasn’t woken up yet. [h1]Downsides[/h1] A lot of times characters act extremely stupidly out of character for clear plot convenience. Almost all choices are not choices, if given an option between “I agree” and “I disagree”, picking the latter will make the character think: (I disagree, but do I? No actually I agree) and have them picking the former choice anyways. A lot of random stuff happens for plot convenience, like oh a random thing could happen to a random person in a city with millions of people, and it happens always to the same cast of characters with no good explanation underneath it. Story starts off interesting, some people seems to be chosen at random to receive unique powers with unique trigger conditions as well as a promise to fulfil a major wish, and you would think it’s going to be a story about what pushes someone to hurt others to seek what they want, and them to investigate eachother and socially outmaneuver one another into being the one to trigger their power first, however, here it’s a tale about NOT ever using the very hook of the story and go for a different mystery altogether. As I already said, pacing is messed up, somehow all the “interesting” things happen in the first hour of the game, and the remaining 24 are just a slog of being drip-fed information that are neither exciting nor character-building. [hr][/hr] I can see what Paranormasight tried to do but it didn’t have the writing or gaming know-how prowess behind it to achieve its goals. I was about to give it a positive review only because I really liked the artstyle, but a visual novel that’s 100% story should at least have a speck of good writing, if not that at least have interesting characters, if not that at least have an interesting setup and execution, but this story has none of those, so I have to give it a negative review.
