Misao - 2024 HD Remaster

I will begin this by saying I [b]do[/b] actually like this game. I played the original back in the day, loved it then. Saw this was on sale today, wanted to play it again. And I did enjoy this remaster as well, it's not too different from the original where it's unrecognizable, but the sprites look fantastic now. I will recommend this game to the select number of people or 1) Played the original Misao and enjoyed it, and 2) People who played Mad Father (either OG or remaster) and enjoyed it. For everyone else, I can't realistically justify it. It hurts me to say it but it's true. For starters, as many have critiqued it before, it's a watered down Corpse Party. If you haven't played Corpse Party, [strike]don't play it it's a mess lmao[/strike] it's a longer, more fleshed out game with the same premise, and also an RPG Maker game. If you've played Corpse Party, you'll just be comparing this to that the whole time. This game also has a weird tonal whiplash that really leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The female protag is this super goofy, "whoopsies I didn't save that guy!", spouting occasional one-liners, that overall is fine. And the game has a ton of super silly death screens wh…

This game is a short and fun game. It has some brutal game overs and scenes that isn't suitable for everyone, but you can pretty much save in most places when using the quicksave. It took me a bit under 2 hours to beat the game without playing the extra mode, and a bit more than 2 hours if you include the extra mode.

Absolutely legendery game that I can recommend even to those people who're usually scared to play horrors because of the jumpscares or high pressure. Here, Misao is a pure absurdic fun, like slasher horror movies, full of gore scenes and silly humor. That's exactly what you'll see here, my friend! Though it does have a great storytelling, too. It only disguises like a bloddy nonsense theater, but beyond the scene there's an actually traumtic, yet beautiful experience to feel with your own heart c: Note for Dualshock users: works greatly thanks to the Steam layouts. I finished it with no problems.

An interesting story and memorable characters. It’s a quick playthrough, and the puzzles aren't too difficult. A must-play for all Mad Father fans. Be sure to quicksave often :-)

misao is such an emotional rollercoaster of a game i genuienlyy didnt expect this gamee to effect mee as muchh it did. at first it feels likee a fun littlee horror rpg with creepy rooms, puzzles, weird deathss and characters running around a haunted school, and honestlyy speaking, the gameplayy is soo mcuhh funn<3 i diedd countless timess to the most ridiculouss things imaginablee, likee this onee timee there was this stupid telephonee in the lab and i was close to it and got startled byy the ringing and then slipped and died lmao, it was terrifyingg and hilarious. but apart from all the fun and horror, theres suchh a heartbeaking storyy... seeingg waht misao went through was genuinelyy painful. she was bullied, isolated, ignored, and was treated horriblyy by almost everyonee around her, and watchingg everythingg unfold madee me feel soo sorryy for her, then kurata kills her and at taht moment he was probablyy myy most hated characterr, at first i was likee "this guy is awful" and then after taht, i was likee "I HATE THIS MAN, I ABSOLUTELY DESPISEE HIM". and then laterr on theres a truth route that u can play afterr u coplete the main storyy and somehoww tahtt made everyt…
