    It is a very nice re-do of the original game. The new sprites and art is very lovely (especially the more detailed sprites, Enri is looking as good as ever <3) and it is nice to see additional content that wasn't present in the original added in the remake. A nice and simple game, and one of my most memorable pixel RPG games that I played in the past, and I am glad to see this remastered rendition of the game. It is however a shame that there is no translations implemented on release, but I…

    A small indie horror game made with RPG Maker, but it knows exactly what matters most in horror: atmosphere.

    Coming from someone who has avoided RPG Maker games his whole life, this is a definite YES from me. The Purgatory franchise offers a unique experience, and I highly recommend it. Considering that the original and its sequel are free, the low price tag for this remake is more than justified, and I’m glad I could support the creator!

    og purgatory 1&2 enjoyer here, remake good, even without the english translation, yet would definitely replay when that comes out eventually, or if, ever now with the english translation out, and a few months of my own japanese learning out of the way for basically nothing, all i can say, is that the game's still phenomenal.

    Remake of Purgatory. Very good game, but now with better art style and with more extra contents. There are 7(+1) totals of Endings.

    One of the greatest jrpg game I've ever played, probably the only game that not sexualized gore theme I ever played. Really want another sequels to be released on steam so I can support developer rather than download it for free on website, Enri deserve better

    A great re-release of an RPGMaker horror classic. Essentially, what you get here is both an update of the original game and an additional scenario exclusive to this re-release. The game doesn't take very long to clear, but that's a good thing because you'll be glued to the screen all the way to the end. I know I was. Note that you can check out the original and its sequel for free online. The original game was intriguing in various ways, but the sequel really took the series to a whole new…

    I played this a few years before it was on steam and was happy it got a re-release on steam. However, it's missing some of the gameplay. There was a lot more to this game and it seemed like a lot of it got removed and I'm unsure why. Ending 3-7 probably reference the second game but there's no real context (unless you get the baton ending) to figure that out so it felt random and boring to play through. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you play the nonsteam version of this game

    It's just... So peak. All jokes aside, this is a very faithful remake to the original Purgatory, plus some more exposition about Abel's (or whatever his name is, I don't know, it's been eons since the last time I played Purgatory 2) life and family. "Yes, player, I can assure you that making Will a femboy is very important to the story." - Nama, probably. Although there are some game design changes that I ain't really a fan of. Like, you can only access the settings at save points (not that…

    当我第一次玩《奈落》时,那还是在2018年。我不懂日文,但还是用翻译器工具玩下去了,这也是使我最难以忘怀的RPG游戏之一。重置版添加了新人物、新剧情,一共有8个结局,非常有趣!更让我感到意外的是在游戏看到了《魔王城会议室》的内容。如果有兴趣,可以去玩Nama作者制作的同一世界观下的《三つの禁書》(十分推荐!!)《魔王城会议室》。感谢Nama,期待你能做出更好的游戏 ^ ^ 关于结局 关于结局8,准确的来说它是6/7的另一结局 这个结局是要在结局3的基础上达成,但是不要通关游戏 结局3的关键触发条件,你可以在第二次逃离杀人鬼的时候做某些事情触发 When I first played NARAKU, it was in 2018.

    The Purgatory series has firmly cemented itself as one of the classics of the rpg maker horror genre and has long since been one of my biggest comfort games, and this remake has given tons of love to the original with it's delightful new art that brings it more in line with the second game and has given me so much nostalgia to re-experience, and all the new content tying it back into Purgatory 2 makes it feel like a much more complete package. Thank you Nama for keeping the art of great rpg…

    The purgatory remake is finally here... Extra gore... Extra horror... and extra cuteness from Enri! :Yippie: What else could I say? Nama can take all of my money for this. (PS: The gameplay is expected to be relatively short with little replayability like the original even with new content. So rather throwing your money or not depends on you in the end!)

    Obscure classic RPGM horror game released in 2017, now sort of remade on Steam. This version has remade character sprites, and additional content. Unfortunately still lacking an official English translation, but there isnt all too much dialogue, puzzles dont need you to understand Japanese, and I doubt most people would get all the endings without a guide anyway, so not really a big deal. The little story bits are also very easy to follow. Always exciting to see games like this finally on the…

    This is a nice upgrade over the original game, I'm still wobbling through the game given that my japanese isn't the greatest but I'm enjoying my time. Enri is extra cute! It isn't available in english right now but it might be localized in the future, so if you're interested, at least wishlist it.

    The remake of the original game is a neat little experience worth the 4 dollars I spent, at least in my mind. The atmosphere created by the slightly better art assets, music, and sound design made it so. The second half is fine, though I care much less for it. Feels unfortunate the game didn't have more original assets for this section t make it feel better connected with the other half.

    Can't believe Purgatory came out 8 years ago and the second 5 years ago. I am happy too see you return Nama to continue working on these games. I am even more happy to see the first get a remaster, it is super well done and still very enjoyable. I look forward to Purgatory 2 NARAKU, or the remaster. Of course, thank you for making this game and putting it on steam so I can buy it and give you money. Really thank you for making this, I love the story and the lore it is fun. Also, totally hoping…

    Fun and simple horror jrpg with a mute girl as the mc (which is very rare these days) trying her hardest to survive in a place filled with bodies of those who were unlucky. Puzzles are very simple only needing to know one or two things and the rest clicks together. Had a lot of fun getting all the endings as they are all unique in their own way. Can't wait for Purgatory 2 to come to stream/get a remake.

    The first half is a decent atmospheric puzzle-solving game, but the second half just switches you to a different protagonist with a zero-gameplay lore dump that has nothing to do with the first part. A mediocre JRPG at best. Also, you will be disappointed if you're expecting Ecchi or Ero-Guro.

    Purgatory -NARAKU- is a dark and unnerving survival horror game that thrusts players into a nightmarish labyrinth of blood, madness, and despair. Developed by Nama and published by Gotcha Gotcha Games, it follows the desperate struggle of a young girl named Enri as she tries to escape from a mysterious facility where every corridor conceals death and every sound echoes with fear. The story begins shrouded in mystery, revealing fragments of truth and horror as the player progresses deeper into…

    A game that those who are nostalgic of the original purgatory game will adore and those who have never played a RPG MZ game will still have a fun and memorable time regardless as the story (and art) more than makes up for the very basic game-play. For those wondering if buying this RPG MZ game is worthwhile, I recommend you play the original purgatory game Nama made in 2017 alongside other titles before this one if you want to understand why people love this series (and the developer as well).
