Comments: This one wasn't too bad... aside from the fact that I had to go through every single bad ending before I got the good one. Multiple endings give me the shits like that... especially when the characters don't need to die in the first place. :/

The story was really gripping in this one. The guy really thought it out. Mermaid legend turned ugly. And then creepy. And then so disgusting when you realise exactly how sick the truth turns out to be. This one is pretty badass, so I recommend just so you can also be like "OH WTF! This guy is SICK!"

The thing that got me was how much you had to walk from here to there, and since I had to play through 3 times before I remembered exactly where to save, I forgot what I was even meant to be doing most of the time. And the non-skippable intro killed me every time!

The chase scenes were annoying as usual because it took me a while to figure out where I was meant to be running... so there was a lot of reloads. Especially the axe chase. Far out! The amount of skillful dodging I did in that one was INSANE!

Comments: This game is next in my series because it's also very simple. It's not a horror game, it's just a little girl trying to get her memories back. Memories that involve a murder of someone.

While I did get awfully confused and found it hard to keep track of the story, it was rather interesting the parts I did understand. The girl was just an outcast due to the bad things that happened to her... I think?

The most frustrating part of this game was how you couldn't really tell which parts of the map you had "completed" and which parts you still needed to explore. The main reason why this game took me so long to finish was because I had to keep back-tracking to every single map to eliminate whether I had done everything there or not.

Such a mind fuck. Seriously. Good game, just the map let it down.

Comments: Ok, so it's been a while since I played a random horror RPG and I downloaded a whole bunch to play so here goes.

I started with the ones that looked the easiest and went from there. This one is one of the most basic ones ever. It does have multiple endings but I never realised that until I looked back on the main website and saw that on the comments after I had finished this game. It's short. REAL short. Like... might take you 30 minutes to play depending on how quick you do things.

I gave it a 3 because, while there wasn't much gameplay, the plot was a little intriguing and I was curious to see how it would play out. All you really have to do it answer the phone/doorbell when it rings to progress in the story. You can tell if you've progressed because the title screen "Hello? Hell... o?" adds more text the closer you get.

The thing that got me was how it mirrored for the female player, which I wasn't expecting. Nice twist at the end. Good to pass a bit of time if you want some fun but not a lot of substance.
