Dark Nights

This game is absolutely Brilliant,  I am intrested to see what else you guys have created and will create. Thank you for the amazing game!!.

My favorite was Junoru, His personality is really fun and his story is very well through out. (Only negative is that I ended up disliking Kurato afterwards because  Chain and him being on friendly terms with him going as far as being rivals. Though this was all because of how attached I was to Junaro  so it's more of a personal thing) Though he wasn't the least liked male lead, I absolutely despised Zeikun because of his rude nature. Though I loved how cute Sachiro was, so at the end of it all they balance themselves off, truthfully more to the positive side since I love Junoru and Sachiro.

(On a sidenote: Would have enjoyed a Yuri Route with our good friend Ikiya)

Wah, this was so good, thank you!! :D

I probably liked Zeikun and Junoru the best, though I think that's just down to personal preference.  All of the routes were so fun!

Let the excited theory-crafting commence!!!

SPOILERS BELOW

My impression in trying to piece everything together was that MC was one of those blessed souls as we found out in Zeikun's route, but other routes didn't necessarily know.  For example, Junoru did not know that the "zombies" could be purified (Sachiro/Zeikun) or that they were inhabited by bad spirits.  He viewed it from a "scientific" background, which makes sense due to his past.  He also didn't know that the MC drew spirits to her and assumed it was because his "essence" or whatever rubbed off on her. xD  

My guess would be that the state the "zombie" thing puts humans into makes them a perfect vessel for evil spirits?  They can be killed, but also purified, and the cells themselves are also passed down through families as we learn in Junoru's route?

I had the impression that Rasumi's major goal was to drive out and kill the forest demon, which she used the undead to do.  In Zeikun's route where you tell her that you would sacrifice yourself, she sees you as a good little minion since it seemed like she heightened your spiritual powers to exorcise Zeikun, as was her goal all along.  If you didn't play along with her.... yeesh. O.O  I'm not exactly sure what her problem with Zeikun was, but we already know she seems to delight in the pain of others.  She didn't even show remorse when she got poor Kurato possessed! >(  Used him as an experiment!  

In Junoru's route, when you escape from her, she hints that she is using the undead for some purpose... I guess what we saw in Zeikun's route?  I suppose we'd have to assume that he probably (at least eventually) dies in other routes.  Seems like Rasumi is a patient killer and doesn't mind waiting for things to go her way.  ....o.o

I've also been puzzling about Blace.  You have to choose some very specific options in order to get the death end where he accidentally (?) fries your memory.  Based on the fact that you have to choose "liking" him or "preferring" him somewhat to not get that ending, is the implication that he feels too bad to fry you if he knows you unironically like him?  It seemed to be implied that he had a mind-reading power.  And he is such a poor lonely bean. D:

For Kurato, I was having a hard time distinguishing between what separated his romantic from his normal end.  What really changed, provided you didn't get mind-wiped by Blace?  I did all the "ding" choices and, since there was no ding for choosing to wish for Blace or Kaichi, I chose Kaichi since I thought it would bring Kurato more resolution.  That seemed to put me on the normal path?  What was the thing that didn't happen there to separate his normal from romantic ends?  Gaining the cooperation of the twins?  

Anyways, you might not even see this since it has been so long, but thanks again for the wonderful time!  I hope you are doing well. <3  And I hope anyone else who reads this enjoys the theorizing!  It's one of my favorite things to do with this kind of game.  I did get some of my answers reading comments below, like about Chain's ancestor with the same CG, or Kaichi's heart, so thanks for that!  I was also wondering at what point Roya took the potions, so that helps explain the... murder. x)  I was so sure the little jerk had also orchestrated the bullying situation with the poor legless ghost since he had told the boys to come to the school that night, but maybe he just got busy with the teacher. x.x  Interesting how two parts of that story were separated by route.  I guess the Romantic route one where we learn about legless boy was the deeper memory that Kurato was repressing, so it was more key for him to think about?

Gotta admit, having routes for Chain and Roya would be super hot, but I can't think of any way that would work.... out.  xD  They're both so.... murdery. xD!!!  I could definitely see routes working out for Blace and Kaichi though!  Maybe Jace, but I get the distinct impression he's more murdery somehow. >.>  Well.... to be fair, Kaichi is also pretty murdery, despite the fact that he tries to justify it.  <.<  

Heehee, have a good night!

(Also, Chain's name cracks me up. xD!!!)

Ahum, I've played this game like a year ago when I started running out of otome games to play. It was my first pc otome AND MAN IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. It was amazing in every way, the music was fitting and cool, the characters and backgrounds were just so pretty and the story blew my mind. Especially at points in which I remembered something from another route I played, one of the hints that just clicked after processing the info.
My brain just went like: holy damn, so that's what was going on?

Spoilers in the following paragraph.

I cried multiple times too. Thanks a lot for that. Like, I got Sachiro's normal ending and was happy for the MC and him.
Then I got the achievement 'We part again after anyways lol'. Realizing this, I straight out started bawling like a baby and couldn't stop.

The characters were amazing, with everyone having different personalities and histories. You slowly realize the bad guy had their reasons and nobody's completely bad or good throughout the game. 

Thank you for developing this, it was truly amazing to play! and even after getting all the endings, the extra's we got were amazing. Just seeing characters shirtless mmmmmmm

I'd recommend this game to literally anyone. The art is so gorgeous.

Okay I've spent the last three days playing through every ending on every route I'm going to go to say this was a pretty amazing storyline and what was great was each route was a different story with different personalities to each character and side character. Very rarely do at home a novel companies think of that or if they do think of it they don't do it well oh, but this was done very well.

So here's my wishes, WTB a route for Jace, Blace and Chain. I would say Roya and Kaichi  as well but that might be asking for a little too much but there was a few roads were I felt that the two of them were very much likeable characters and maybe had more than just a passing interest in the main character. I think they both could very well have been fond of her. But that's just me reading into their personalities and their actions towards her in certain routes.

 I never was really a fan of visual novels that have tragic endings mostly because I get very attached to characters in these stories and I bawl like a baby when there are tragic endings and I hate the migraines that come after however this is obviously a horror story and so therefore death is inevitable should you choose wrong.

anyway should you ever decide to release DLCs or whatever of those three characters that I oh so much want to see romance routes for I would gladly pay because it would be very much worth it. other than that I truly did enjoy this thank you.

If anyone is contemplating on whether to play this or not, download it!! This game is amazing, each route has a different story so it doesn't get boring. There's so much gameplay and so many characters to fall in love with, each of the side characters are so interesting! 

The art is phenomenal. For a game that can be downloaded for free, the quality is amazing. Each CG and sprite are so beautifully designed and drawn, I was so amazed when I first played. 

The music and background music is also outstanding!! The music made me feel so immersed into the game and at times actually made me feel a bit scared @@ The opening music and scene is so well made, this whole game feels so professional.

I loved each route, although Sachiro and Kurato will always remain my fav :> I was so sad when I found out the side characters remained as side characters >_> They were all so unique and I found myself wanting more of them all!! <33

Overall, this was a fantastic game. The art, the music, the story, everything was so fun!! Totally recommend this game ^^

I have managed to finally get all the endings, achievements, CGs, and looked at the extra scenes! So finally, I can post a review of my final thoughts.

This game was generally very enjoyable. I loved the art and the mystery, and the horror scenes put me on the edge of my seat! 

The opening video was a real treat! It seriously looks like a professional otome opening, and I love the song! I also love how the soundtrack is entirely original, which is rare for free indie games. I really love the sentimental and sad piano tracks the most. 

Artwork... it's really gorgeous! There's 60 CGs you can unlock in the gallery, but some other sketchy looking art and I recall a couple other CGs that do not appear in the gallery. There were some sprites that felt out of place though, as they didn't look as polished as the rest, but generally everything is eye-pleasing!

Unlockables... I really love the achievement system as it encourages players to make a variety of different choices. Also keeping the extra scenes and sketchbook locked behind getting all of the endings is a genius way to get players to desire a 100% completion. 

Prologue... the opening scene at the mansion really drew me in, which I feel is the prologue's strength. Some felt the prologue as a whole dragged, but I didn't think it was that bad. Some character introductions were more interesting than others, sure. Even so, the opening scene was enough to keep me going because I feel it really helps set the supernatural mystery tone! And I am sure at least one of the character introductions will pique your interest!

Routes.... I ended up playing in this order: Kurato > Junoru > Sachiro > Zeikun. Getting on routes is very straight forward, you literally choose who you want to investigate from the four suspicious individuals you meet in the prologue, and walla. I picked Kurato first simply 'cause he was weird and I wanted to know what was up with him. He's a pretty fun character, and his route has a lot of action and horror. Junoru's route ended up being my favorite of them all. He is so sweet, and whilst the romantic ending was lovely, I also equally enjoyed the tragic ending. It held a well written emotional weight to it that showed how much the MC cared about him. I also loved the MC's portrayal the most on Ju's route, especially how she'd always refer to him as "my friend". Sachiro's route was very interesting, and I must say the "Normal" ending actually was my favorite opposed to the romantic route. I feel it felt more natural and that ending felt so warm and sweet. Lastly, Zeikun... whilst interesting, it was sadly my least favorite route. Whilst I enjoyed many scenes in it, I didn't really feel much chemistry between the two (romantically or friendship wise). The highlight on this route for me was actually the moments with Ikuya and Lioji on the "Normal" path.

The story itself.... whilst there's many well written horror moments, emotional moments, heart pumping action, and an intriguing supernatural mystery, there's a lot about the story that feels very rough around the edges. Not everything adds up and rather than the routes complimenting each other, they almost seem like different versions of the story. One character in particular seemed to change to suit what was going on in a particular route. Even the MC herself feels a little different per route. So depending on what route you're on (even what version of said route you're on), some paths are written better than others. As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed Junoru's route the most as I loved the entire route as a whole. Kurato's route would probably be my second favorite, whilst Sachiro's I liked the normal path most, and Zeikun's felt a little bit more messy to me. I also wish we could see some of the other main characters make more than just a short cameo appearance in the other routes, I think that may also be why it felt a bit disjointed at times. 

Even so, the dev's hard work and passion shows in this novel and despite these flaws, this is a very memorable game I know will become a beloved classic in the OELVN community! It's obvious a lot of love went into this project, and it shows, and I think the dev should be proud of it! I look forward to whatever you come up with next, Pinlin!

I just played it, and I was totally caught off guard by the quality of the CGs and storylines.

The side characters were too handsome, I ended up wanting a Chain, Roya, Blace, Kaichi, and Jace route as well.

Though I do think that way too many things are happening in the village that I don't really understand what is actually going on, it feels like something different is going on in each route. Like in Sachiro's route, they were possessed (??), in Junoru's route they were zombies, and the explanations don't really complement each other very well so I was a bit confused.

But all in all, it was just awesome. If there will be a sequel or something like that, I will definitely buy it.

The art in this game is fantastic, it's so beautiful and I'm in love with all of the character designs. I'm sure that everyone who plays this will want a Chain, Kaichi and Roya route.

I love that the MC has a strong confident personality, its so rare to come across in these types of games but I love it when it does and it is done well. 

Thank you for this great game Pinlin. I will be purchasing any other otome games you release :) 

Just started this about two days ago, somehow I've already played 15 hours apparently. LOL. I'm loving this so far, I'm still only early on into chapter 2, but I wanted to just say off the bat that the "opening theme song" scene thing was amazing! Just so professional, freakin' awesome, and well done! I'm sure I will come back and comment or review on this much more as I continue/finish the game.

Hello ! My review may not be structured, I'm sorry for that but I will try my best even though I'm not fluent in English. I will talk about the elements that marked me the most.

__________________

This game was such a pleasant discovery. I liked the way the story went on smoothly while revealing important elements about the plot.  

The prologue lasts 7 days and it was a good start to get familiar with MC's environment. I liked how her personality was built up. She is straightforward, considerate and caring. She's also bold and brave at times. She likes reading, she usually spends her time at the library. She is always eager to take part of anything unusual. Yet, she feels stuck in her routine that is unsatisfying according to her. She doesn't have any mid- or long-term goals and it seems like she is not looking forward anything. Or maybe I got it wrong, I apologize if that is the case. So, her constant feeling of boredom leads her to visit an abandoned mansion at night. But she hadn't made any discovery. Afterwards, odd events unfolded in the village and it picked up her interest even though they were bone chilling. 
 

__________________

Sachiro's route  

Sachiro is a lonely and lost boy, working hard to find his true purpose and make his dream come true. He is reserved, nice and but also insecure about his identity. He seems really lonely and he is kind of envious of human life yet he is confused of many aspects. Also, I loved how the story twisted and got to learn many things about the world MC lives in. For example: the spiritual world, Shinigami, angel and how they interact and how they impact the human world even though it's quite abstract but I got to learn more and more throughout the entire game.  

I found out a lot about him, how devoted he was towards others without people truly acknowledging him, even if it meant losing his sanity, even while losing other's trust. Yet he called himself selfish when it comes to his own dream. Strong, brave, loyal, humble, I think those qualities fit him the most.  

Ikuya and Lioji have been MC's friends for quite a long time. They both got more involved in the story that I expect from side characters.  

Chain's background is totally unknown I guess mysteries makes the game more interesting because it gives more room for the player's imagination  

Rasumi's contract is a scam for sure and a greedy and apathetic angel. She is one of the main antagonist. Though her motives were not really discovered but according to the extent of her wrong doings, it seems quite huge. At least, I couldn't understand them.  

The romance did not affect the plot, still was slightly present.
 

__________________

Zeikun's route  

I got even more into this VN. They were way more interactions with MC's friends, Chain and Kaichi.  

It was quite satisfying to see MC once again taking actively part of the whole order. Even though,  she is self-aware about her limits, she is eager to do anything for the sake of her friends and the village. She meets a lot of inconveniences along the way but she made it through the end with the help of her friends, Chain, Kaichi and especially Zeikun. Zeikun is aloof at first but he is committed to achieve his goals, but that led him to become selfless. Despite his good intentions, he is misunderstood and loathed because of his nature. Yet he did everything to go against his own nature for sake of everyone. MC played a huge part in Zeikun self-acceptance and helped him changed his point of view of humans. She never gave up, even though, she went through a lot, especially in the normal ending which has a huge plot twist compared to the good ending. The normal ending was heart-breaking. The good ending has some dark sports (especially about Rasumi's and Kaichi's whereabouts).  

This needs to be an anime, even though it's a visual novel, you managed somehow to make it really interesting and immersive. The OST are pretty great to listen to.  

MC could have enhanced her power as a blessed soul but (un)fortunately it did not happen.  

Though, the MC doesn't seem mentally affected. Maybe I am wrong I mean she is obviously but in my opinion it's not this obvious in the dialogues or and monologues. 

__________________

Junoru's route 

We found out that Roya and Junoru are living deads.  Roya sustains with flesh and as for his brother it wasn't revealed or maybe I missed it. He is worrying about his elder brother's destructive behavior.  Though Junoru tried as much as he could to protect him and prevent him from doing any more harm. Yet he is feeling insecure about his image and capabilities and compares himself to his elder brother. He is facing a huge dilemma with his nonchalant brother: he needs flesh to survive but his actions multiple the living dead. On the other hand, he is still caring about Junoru. The thing is, they didn't even choose to live this kind of life to begging with.  

Here is my favourite dialogue from this game:  

Junoru : would you sacrifice your happiness for others? Let's say either you or people can be happy, wouldn't be selfish to keep it for yourself? If someone can't even enrich people around them... what it the purpose of living?  

MC : If it makes me happy as well then sure. [...] we live for ourselves in a first place so it only makes sense to make our happiness our top priority.  You can't make people happy if you're sad too, right?  

It makes a lot sense; you can't be completely selfless or selfish. You need balance, I guess.  

MC met Roya on multiple occasions and she managed, despite him being wary, to work together in order to keep the village safe and prevent any unnecessary damage.  

Regardless of what happened the MC was always standing up for her own goals.  Chains despised her for siding those brothers. He loathes any supernatural creature and according to him they don't deserve to live. I've always wondering how comes the MC is being so tolerant.  

Roya got killed by Chain and was found by his brother in the bathroom. He thought Chain would be trustworthy enough to accept his last will which was to let his brother alone. Roya thought that nobody was happy around him anyway.  That line felt like as if Roya was depressed. As if his existence wasn't really meaningful or worth living. Maybe I'm wrong ... for sure, he felt empty and thought his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain. Even with a huge power he was granted/cursed with, the fact that most people wanted him and his family dead hurt him more that he would like. As if he has no place in this this world.  

Since then, Junoru has been mourning and has been dwelling in his sorrow. Yet he still has a strong will to prevent the rise of the living dead. Even though,  he wasn't aware of what he got himself into centuries ago, since he was involved, he couldn't just give up his responsibilities.  He didn't want to live in guilt forever.  

Jace and Blace keep the gates of Hell and Heaven, thought they quitted their position. Jace, Blace and Junoru used to be friends a century ago. They moved to the village in order to kill the living dead.  

Junoru's parents were researchers. They manage to create something that grant immortality instead of curing illness as they planned to in a first place. My theory is that the unsuccessful experiments created a living dead and they multiplied since then. The twins killed Junoru's parents.  

It all started with pure intentions but people got greedy and they became inhuman.  Ready to do anything to get this formula.  

Roya and his brother spent a decade on their own and were chased by the former researchers. They got fired by their parents and held grudge against them. After a decade they were still chased and got drugged. They somehow manage to runs away and they slept for a century. Junoru and Roya remained in a slumber for a long time and woke up a few moments before day 1. So, he is feeling as if everything happened just a week ago. That was probably a lot to take in. 

__________________

That is all for me. I'm sorry I'm not writing about Kurato. The last time I played this game was a few months ago and my memories of his route are a bit blurry. But overall, I enjoyed each route. I'm glad I got the chance to experience it. Thank you very much for sharing such an exciting visual novel.  

Wow this is a really amazing game. Thank you so much ^^

Stunning game, i love it

Finally gotten the chance to play this game, and enjoying it so far! I've only played through Sachiro's route yet. 

The strongest point of this game is obviously the visuals. It is gorgeous! The opening is such high quality, on par with anime and big copany VNs! Plus so many sprite variations and backgrounds, and the sheer amount of CGs, especially how the routes are shorter than in other VNs. Oh, and the menus too, so creative and pretty! 

It's clear the developer's strong suit is art, which sadly also means writing is not. If you don't mind some constructive criticism... The ideas and plot are great, but bogged down by the prose. On my first read, the prologue seemed boring. Maybe it was intentional to show the heroine's boredom...? But a stronger opening hook would benefit the game for sure. Eventually, I was grateful I pushed through it, because Sachiro's route was nice! Loved how their lives were entangled with the heroine~ Yet to play the other routes to judge. Still, there were times I was left confused, especially about the "why"s: why the sequence of events, how one leads to the other, and why the characters are doing and saying what they do. It's okay to slow down the events to explain and reflect a little. It also felt like some of the reveals came too early? Like Sachiro's identity. I'd already guessed it, so great job for dropping the hints! But remaining in suspense longer would have been fun. All in all, great plot and story elements are there, I enjoyed reading, I just missed the glue to blend it together better. Keep practicing the writing and pay more attention to the internal logic and you'll get there!

On the other hand, the music is also great! It sets the atmosphere so nicely. I can see the amount of care and love put into this game, and my overall experience was great! Looking forward to playing the other routes (might come back to gush about them haha), and possibly future games from the dev~

MY FAVORITE GAME EVER I CONTINUE TO RECCOMEND IT FORVWER TO EVRYOEN I LOWVE THSI KSUFVHAB

i've had this game on my laptop for over 5 months now and i keep going back to it. i love it so much, the music, the characters, the visuals, the words, just everything.

Sachiro and Kurato (also Junoru) honestly whisked my heart away.

kudos to you for making such an amazing game;

and to anyone who hasn't tried it yet, go for it!

does anyone know how to get achievement 21 

This game is so good ah..  

The storyline, art, character, music, design..  all of it is so great..  I really love it  ❤️❤️   

Thanks for making this game  ❤️❤️❤️

Ah actually, I know this game a long time ago..  but just got the chance to play it 

Also...   I see "DATENKOU" name on the credit..   is that the "DATENKOU" I know?  😅   I think it is..  😁

I love this game! Every route was interesting for me to play, I love the music and the art and everything I just- :D Its just so awesome! My favorite route was Junoru's one and Kurato's. I enjoyed the mystery in the game and every ending was intriguing for me.  Also every side character was interesting for me but my most favorite one is Chain, he was really cool! I am glad that I found this game! :D (and sorry if i have mistakes, English is not my first language^^;)

the game is amazing!! I love all of the routes and I like how each route is always different. CGI is beautiful and the music is amazing, thank you for making this game! 

I don't speak English very well, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes
 
I was very pleased with the game I sat and did not believe that the game was over, I wanted to continue and plunge deeper into this pleasant atmosphere and continue to recognize other characters 
 
I really liked some of the phrases, for example, “don't jump to conclusions,” which the heroine often repeated. They showed me that the characters are not stupid and think before doing something 
 
I also really liked all these stories with ghosts, zombies, bloody prints, etc., in some places it was creepy, and I love that It would be even better if you could insert mini videos that would scare you even more. For example, when a school ghost appeared at the heroine's house, it would be possible to insert a video where we peer into the darkness of the corridor and watch him crawl towards us, it would be even more creepy 
 
And it would also be interesting if the characters in romantic endings didn't always stay in the human world. Rasumi in one of the routes gave a medicine that prevented turning into a zombie, so she could have fulfilled the heroine's desire to become a spirit (or someone else) and go with the chosen guy to his world, but in return she would also require something serious and here it would be possible to unwind the plot). Well, this is purely my personal opinion) 
 
I liked the Junoru and Zeikun routes. But I also cannot ignore the minor characters who have sunk into my soul - Kaichi, Royа, Blace, Jace, Chain. Perhaps I even liked them more than the main characters 😄
 
I would very much like to know if there will be a second part, in which it will already be possible to romance them? I would be incredibly happy. I think their stories will be no less interesting and will delight all fans)

Played this game a while ago, but wanted to come back and write a review because this game totally deserves some praise!
This is one of the best free VNs I've played, I can't believe it's free. The art is gorgeous and the characters are fantastic. They are all very distinct and memorable. The different routes as great as well, they really branch off and so the story unfolds in different ways, which I love. The world is intriguing, I like the supernatural/fantasy(?) elements, though it stays pretty vague, which is okay for this kind of story. It's very light on the horror, which I appreciate, though some of the death endings are sudden and somewhat funny (the achievements in this game have very humorous titles). The MC is absolutely hilarious, I enjoyed her internal monologue. And the way she interacts with others is unique as well. MCs can be a bit of a blank slate but this one is not. There are lots of very funny parts in the game in general, the banter is great between characters, and I think the game balances the dark and light elements very well. I found the romance very believable in each route, and Sachiro ended up being my favorite route despite the fact that he's a child for like 75% of it. Junoru's route was hilarious and revealed a lot of info about the story, which why it might be good to save it for last. Zeikun is unfriendly initially but it's very fun seeing how that changes, and Kurato was initially my least favorite because he was a little too aggressive, but I definitely liked him towards the end of his route (they're so sweet together!). I went back and re-played this recently, and it was just as good as I remembered. This is a super good game, and I would totally check out any future games from this creator.

Oh My GODD! I have started the game yesterday but already finished everyone's routes except Kurato's! and so far i love it so much! to the point I feel so attached! (I cant count how many times I cried in Junoru's route haha!) This game has my stamp of approval and you really feel like you are experiencing everything in real life! I just wish there are routes for Chain , Kaichi and Junoru's brother perhaps even the gate keeper twins (Jace and Blace I think). Chain so far is my favorite he is just so mysterious! I'd love to know more about him!

[ edit: I would love to a yuri/girl x girl route for Rasumi as well :3 ]hiya xD I just wanted to say, OMFG, that story is so thrilling and cool, the vn is cute, heartwarming, creepy and thrilling at the same time, I totally like it and i never expacted that twists in the way they came out and still on sachiros route very good^^ The only thing, that bothers me a little is, that the music most time is quite faint, but in some scenes it is so much louder, but there is only one bar to set the music volume. But that's it. I really enjoy the story, it is very good *__*

I love this VN, it has so nice characters, the boys are quite the hotties haha and the story is very interesting ♥ I even shared it on facebook in visual novel groups and on my visual novel page, (Kuru's Visual Novel Paradise - The Pure Joy Of Visual Novels)  Where I recommended it :D But I really would have liked a Kaichi route^^ Whatever... you are so talented, you should do another VN like this, i would play it, too =) 

Hello! The game's base seems strong. I feel, personally, it would be even more without the romance. I really enjoyed the audio and visual horror elements, even though the writing was pretty good too. I feel like it would better if Miyoko was a police investigator instead of a student? She would probably be able to meet all the characters and use her resources as an investigator. I think the writing may need a bit more suspense, but I really like the overall base of the game! (side note: Kaichi and Chain are really growing on me. I feel like their personalities have even more depth than the main characters. I find that it is really good writing when I can hate and like them at the same time. Hopefully, a future route for those two?)
