Review: I can't find any ending and it just sacrificing yourself to live a lies beneath the darkness that they encounter many times. The plot can't manage the handling out the invincibility thoughts that can triggered themselves from fearing entities, and it feel can adjust their tone of the characters unsteadily to harm and joking around the curiosity mindless itself of portraying the visual novel thriller. Very disappointing game, but there's more problem — game bug's. When I reopen this game, it automatically crash the game and it simply uninstalled to reinstalled again once. That's it and it complete failed me with this game and very angers me instantly. Music & Audio — 61 Gameplay — 30 Game Compatibility — 24 Story Visual/Dynamics — 58

Good game with potential, the story is interesting but the dialogues are sometimes a bit too long in my opinion. Original ending too to have all the achievements. Give it a try if you have a few hours to spare it's free !
