❤ Narrative Structure Focuses Multiple Perspectives

The story unfolds episodically, shifting between the perspectives of several main characters. This includes the protagonist, Suzumu Susuhara, as well as Toe Kurokami, Tsubakiko Harumiya, Kanae Minobe, and Riria Nunokawa. Navigating these distinct viewpoints allows players to gain a deeper understanding of the game's supernatural mystery.

❤ Player Choices Offer Slight Variations

While the narrative remains largely linear, the game presents players with a few key choice points. Specifically, players must decide which of the three female main characters - Tsubakiko, Kanae, or Riria - Suzumu will attempt to save. These choices, though not dramatically altering the overall plot, do provide subtle variations in the story's events and conclusion.

❤ Stunning Visuals Immerse Players

The game's visual presentation stands out as a highlight of the gameplay experience. Players will encounter beautifully hand-drawn backgrounds and character sprites, complemented by an abundance of high-quality cinematic CG illustrations. Combined with the atmospheric sound design and voice acting, these visuals work to fully immerse players in the supernatural horror setting.

❤ Pacing and Tone Shift Dramatically

Many players have noted the game's uneven pacing and tone. The early chapters focus heavily on unsettling, gruesome horror elements before transitioning into a more mystery-driven narrative. While some found the intense opening sections challenging, others appreciated how the game gradually reveals its deeper themes and character development.
