ゴシックマーダー -運命を変えるアドベンチャー- (2020)

A well written mystery adventure novel. Following a mysterious will left by the previous head of the Lokiford family who had recently passed away, a series of guests are gathered at the mansion, setting the stage for ‘Gothic Murder’. Ellie who is newly employed as a live-in maid at the mansion foretells Aving’s death; the son of the Lokiford family through her premonition dreams and uses the information she gains to investigate and prevent his death. By leading Ellie’s investigations into uncovering the culprit, we are able to gather evidence through searching rooms and interacting with objects, which are presented as evidence throughout questionings. These interactive elements of the game added depth and immersion to the story and really made the game shine for me. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2156946185 Gothic Murder has 2 character, 2 normal and 19 bad endings. While I found the romance lacking with only brief parts throughout the game and at the end of routes, I felt like the overall story made up for it. The only other complaint I have is probably the lack of CGs. There is a total of 12 with some variations and I would have loved to see more, but…

If over 50% people who own it has unlocked the true ending achievement, YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD. Speaking of achievement. I completed the story, got the true ending. However, I reloaded a save where it looked like the ending would be affected by a decision during the 4th chapter (forest area late in the day). Skipped everything that wasn't new from that route. Got a different ending, but did not get an achievement. I am missing 3 gallery images and have no clue how to get the alternate ending, I went ahead and got a different ending, but no achievement... ISSUES; - In the roses maze, the map is strangely made according to the perspective, it should be pointing out that the map begins from the first cross road and is always facing the same direction. What i mean by that is that when you turn right for example, towards east, you are now facing east, if you turn left from there, you go north, and right, you go South, but turning left and right is ALWAYS north west or north east, but anyway, it's a perspective issue… Same goes fo the final crossroad, where going between 2 options is impossible and you gotta choose 1 of the 3, however they're plants, not roads, but considering the unu…

It was a challenging game to play but overall I understand the logic. I am still not able to get another ending though.
