I was initially interested in this VN because of the gorgeous artwork, seemingly high production values, and the promise of a historical horror story based on a Japanese urban legend. I was especially interested since the artist from the popular Nekopara series, Sayori, woked on this project, and I thought it’d be fun to see her produce a story with themes …

Final edit: Looking at the mixed reviews, it’s pretty obnoxious how people downvote an indie game just because it’s not their type of genre. Getting upset over the edgy or extreme content in a guro game is like being mad at the gratuitous violence in Elden Ring or Diablo. And if you think the story goes "off the rails" (like the current top review says), th…
So far so good, story is interesting and the characters are likable Art, sound, music, interface and everything feel polished, as does the translation. I'm a slow reader so i'm looking forward to how it pans out, but so far I recommend.

Horniness scale
Each game gets a score from 1 to 5 hearts. Higher means more explicit adult content.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | Raunchy / softcore — suggestive themes, light fanservice, or mature humor; little or no on-screen explicit sexual content. |
| 2 | Spicy but restrained — clear adult intent (nudity, strong innuendo, or brief suggestive scenes) without sustained explicit focus. |
| 3 | Clearly adult — recurring sexual content or nudity as a meaningful part of the experience, but not the sole focus of the game. |
| 4 | Strongly explicit — graphic sexual themes, extended explicit stills or text, or gameplay built heavily around adult situations. |
| 5 | Explicit and often animated — graphic sexual content that is frequently animated or interactive; core to what you see and do in the game. |

Story is solid and the combat feels great, just wish there was more UI customization.
