A Masterpiece of Sound Novel Games That Covers Most of the Horror Genre.
#49 Horror Game 100 story challenge
The “Kamaitachi” takes the form of a weasel and has sharp claws like a sickle. It was thought to be the cause of the whirlwind in ancient times. They are mostly cute looking, but Shigeru Mizuki’s Kamaitachi has an Appearance and vicious personality, like the “Jack the Ripper” that shook London. “Banshee’s Last Cry (かまいたちの夜)” is a sound novel-style game set in a region where this legend of Yokai has been passed down.
You’ll be staying at a pension called “Supreme” in a certain part of Nagano Prefecture Japan. It was the night of our arrival, a blizzard was blowing outside. You’re chatting with other guests. However, a letter was found in a guest’s room threatening murder, and a murder occurred. You embark on an investigation to solve the case.
That’s the synopsis. Depending on your choices, the story will branch out, with nine different endings. The main story is a mystery, but the scenario allows the audience to enjoy a story full of horror elements, and there is a lot of variety. And like the masterpiece “Hypericum erectum Thun(弟切草)” , if you experience all the scenarios, you’ll become a “pink bookmark! “ (so, we’re fooled by rumors again just like that time!)
Those who like horror tend to prefer mysteries. There are several important choices that branch the scenario, which can be found on the strategy website, but, if you wanna enjoy the tension of the story, you should see it after you have played it several times. If I remember correctly, there are quite a few bat endings and it takes a long time to capture one scenario. (Each time, my friend and I were discouraged. Just thinking about the amount of Coke and potato chips we consumed back then is frightening…) This is a sign that all scenarios are made with politeness. Sound novel games aren’t a genre for everyone, but once you play them, you’ll be hooked. I urge you to play it!
See you tomorrow!
