This is a game with a lot of evocative horror imagery, an interesting mystery and a lot of clever twists which unfortunately loses steam and spirals down towards the end. A great build up is totally wasted in favor of just infodumping everything on you and railroading you into certain endings at the last bit. Also the phonetically spelled out accents are A LOT at certain points and a huge detraction of the writing.

I've never liked crime or investigation stuff but I've never played such an extensive choices game. It took me a whole day just playing through it. The mysteriousness, the creepiness, the through investigations. And what is most interesting is the sanity stat, it could literally change everything perspectively, either bring you close to doom or get you by just another day with you stable. I know it's silly but I wish there was romance lol maybe the male lecturer? Thank you for spooking me! :(

Okay. This story is incredible. The plot was really fascinating. It give you a sherlock holmes vibe and the ancient lore in this story was really well constructed. The mystery is pretty fun with some obvious clues and some very tricky one. The interaction between MC with support characters also seemed smooth and nice. My only complaint is the stat meter. Well it damn confusing, i was wondering was it really usefull. But i guess that add toward books plus point. Overall very entertaining book
