User Opinions

u/Nata-Tanshi

Kara no Shoujo is a very human story of obsession and tells it in the lens of a murder mystery mixed with human drama. At its core, it is beautifully horrifying as everything about it pull you into its grounded world. The tone of the game is grim, yet there's a sense of levity to it that doesn't surround the entire game in a overly depressing mood. Each character feels human and faces struggles that are organic and don't feel unnatural or overblown. Kara no Shoujo, at the end of the day, is a narrative built upon the flaws of humanity, their struggle with their internal obsessions and breaking free from the shackles that chain them down.

Great detective story that deals with the detective lifestyle itself.

A brutally sombre detective story with plenty to ponder on a level deeper than most other VNs. Great period piece setting, fantastic soundtrack and one of the best main heroines out there.

Detective novels are fun novels and this is a good detective VN. It can be hard to get the endings you want, so a guide is highly recommended. You need to choose the right locations to go to and find various clues at different crime scenes and other places you investigate. I will point out that it's the first part of a trilogy and I think the second is weaker than the first. Pretty sure it only exists to set things up for the third VN.

Most of the mysteries are well-executed and both KnS1 and 2 do a good job engaging the reader towards solving them. Cool atmosphere.
