NightCry

I watched it since I was kinda curious about in the story, but did not like the game play.

i havent finished the game yet im on the final chapter near the end tho and i wanna say that overall this game is actually pretty good for an indie project. the graphics are lacking but theres a real passion behind this game i think overall its pretty cool the choices/actions u make determine the ending like the og clocktower however this game is significantly long so it makes it more annoying to reach a bad ending especially because many of the story affecting actions are easily missed such as getting a ring from a vending machine. although the game uses a flowchart system showing u exactly what lead u down ur urrent path so after ur first run it shouldnt be hard to see what u missed. as for puzzles and progression, its fine theres this annoying system where a character wont speak all their dialogue at once so u need to talk to them multiple times in a row to progress, one section like this in chapter 3 can lead to a bad end if u dont call ur friend in between talking with a crew member, kinda stupid but it makes sense i guess considering the context of the scene.... genuinely dont think this game is possible without a guide cuz of how many small actions can kill u or give u a …

Honestly? I loved this more than I thought I would. It's janky as hell and feels extremely low budget but it's a charming little game with clever puzzles. Also Monica is a badass. If you have a soft spot for PS1/PS2 Survival Horror games you'll enjoy it.

NightCry is a weird and wonky game. You can see the Clock Tower-roots in the gameplay, but it is completely it's own thing. Fair warning, this can be a frustrating game due to the gameplay and it is not really scary due to a lot of things being accidentally comical. It is not for everyone. If you are looking for a solid horror game to play alone, look somewhere else, but if you are looking for something fun and weird to play together with friends then this is a good choice. Still leaving this as a positive review because I love wonky japanese games.

You never go full jank.

This game is janky as hell and hard to play (in a bad way), but if you're a Clocktower fan it's easy to ignore those bad parts and have a good time. If you don't know what Clocktower is or don't care for it, then don't waste your money. You'll hate this. DON'T play without having a guide on hand, otherwise you'll likely screw yourself over and have to replay the game from the beginning just because you missed one item or dialog line.
