Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story uses multiple viewpoints to great effect, occasionally stepping outside Fuminori’s mind to show how others perceive his behavior, creating a chilling contrast between his subjective world and objective truth.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is equally effective, often subdued but capable of evoking deep emotion and dread.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The remastered version refines these visuals without losing their raw, unsettling edge.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I mean Corpse Party is another horror game some of you may have played, and for the same price as this practically, you get great voice acting, a MUCH longer story, actual gameplay (basic gameplay but still), and higher production quality.
