❤ Side-scrolling Exploration

The side-scrolling exploration system allows players to navigate through the prestigious Konoehara Academy and its surrounding areas by moving left and right. This adds a new layer of immersion, though some reviewers noted that the mechanic feels underutilized and could have been better integrated to enhance the overall exploration experience.

❤ Investigative Gameplay

The core investigative gameplay remains similar to previous entries, with players examining their surroundings, collecting items, and making choices that impact the story. Reviewers praised the improved decision-making logic and navigation, which feel more straightforward and intuitive compared to earlier games.

❤ Suspensive Acts System

The new "Suspensive Acts" system introduces a percentage-based success system for confronting supernatural entities. Players' actions have a chance of succeeding or failing based on factors like the protagonist's stats and the choice of partner. This adds tension and strategy to the spirit encounters, though some found the system inconsistent or less challenging than before.

❤ Partnering System

The partnering system has also been enhanced, as the success rate of the protagonist's actions can be influenced by the chosen companion. This further elevates the suspense and strategic elements, as players must carefully consider which partner to bring based on their skills and abilities.
