User Opinions

u/Forestgrant

A horror-mystery drama set in a rural village in 1983. Has a fairly small but entertaining and really well-developed cast of characters. The atmosphere is very chilling, with the mysteries surrounding the village being rather intriguing. Recommended for those who like interesting characters and horror.

u/AmmoSexualBulletkin

Very interesting story with some mystery aspects. I wasn't a huge fan of the "true" ending but it was a pretty wild, and enjoyable, ride to get there. If anything I like it more than Umineko since the supernatural elements aren't quite as prominent.

u/moybull

Compelling and multidimensional characters. Fun humor, great horror and mystery, and emotionally resonant.
