    Sometimes negative reviews help to streamline problematic issues, so I'll try to do just that. Game itself seems to be better-than-mediocre horror, is fine with story, graphics, sounds and gameplay... For ones who could play it, at least. For some reason, after introduction scene and first phone chat, game softlocks itself. After command "tap to move" I tried to press every key on my mouse and keyboard, experimented with settings, languages, restarted game for few times. Result was nothing.…

    A reasonably compelling puzzler and take on the Kisaragi Station urban legend. Art, environment design and music are definitely the highlights, but the script does fall short in some places and some nuances (and relevance to puzzle solutions) do get lost due to the imperfect English translation. It's obvious that there's some lore and world building the devs wanted to expand on, but there were definitely gaps in the connective tissue between chapters, and that made the ending and payoff…

    The AI Temu version of Paranormasight. The premise of the game starts interesting enough: missing girlfriend, do a spooky supernatural investigation until you find her. But while the story might have some interesting ideas, playing through the game itself drags you through puzzles that range from braindead "click here, then click where you just were" to completely incomprehensible, as with the infamous 6 column of bars in the classrooms. All the while, the art style that starts off with you…

    "Other Side Of Mist And Mountain" is a horror point & click puzzle adventure. The year is 2005. The protagonist can't let go of the sudden disappearance of his girlfriend 5 years ago. After dropping out the police force, he starts running a private investigations office. One day, one client will change everything... New clues, more cases that seem like they entwine with one another, and a forum full of urban legends and folk tales! Maybe it's time he found out what happened to the love of his…

    EDITED AFTER FINALLY FINISHING THE GAME The story is promising, being based on a famous Japanese creepy-pasta and inspired by more popular media like the games Paranormisight and The Coma and the manga Tomie. The character designs are nice and the music good. This said... 1. The English translation is done with Google Translate. It makes no sense and therefore it becomes difficult to understand what's going on. Even character's names are changed multiple times within the span of a few…

    I didn't know what to expect of this game when I played it but it has a very compelling story that keeps you at the edge of your chair through the entire time you play the game. The plot seemed to be a bit confusing at the beginning but it started out strong and got me wanting to know more about the game. It's good at keeping your attention. Highly recommended for those who like to solve puzzles and are not afraid of horror There's some slight translation errors in the game but otherwise it…

    I don't recommend buying this game because it is unplayable. After the first cutscene where the game tells us to click on the screen to move, nothing happens. The character is still standing with the phone in her hand and doesn't want to move even an inch. From what I know, this problem has been in the game for over a year and the game's creators have no desire or intention to fix this bug in the game. It's just a waste of time and money.

    Translation in English is horrible but good thing I can play in Japanese. It's a good game with nice story and challenging puzzles.
