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.

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

I liked how the game slowly blurs the line between normal school life and something much stranger. That approach creates a nice sense of curiosity becaus…
