Raging Loop

Instantly one of my favourite horror mystery VNs. Definitely reminded me of Higurashi more than any other game due to its rural Japanese setting, but it has multiple routes and endings that often leave you with more questions than answers. Just when you thought you had the culprit sussed out, it springs another cruel twist... Special mention goes to the psychological horror and characters. This is a well-written and deep mystery that will keep you enthralled for many hours.

6/10 Perhaps this is because I just finished one of the best and longest mystery visual novels but this feels lacking to me for multiple reasons 1.The story feels like it could be fleshed out more or at least progress more logically without the usage of revelations mode 2.The issue I am still kind of hung up on is how the paranormal is presented since whilst I thought it was really cool it kinda removed the need to solve it since I can now just assume "x is because of paranormal y" and whilst there is a human element that is solvable it is not presented as such with especially the darkness chapter completely crushing any idea that it could have been solved by people 3.Whilst there are a decent variety and many cgs and endings there feels like there could be more with an actual choice that would be dependent on the players analysis of the situation I would recommend this visual novel for other people but there are a few others I would recommend beforehand in terms of Mystery.

was longer than I expected. But I really like the story and characters. The voice acting is too good that it made reading through the whole thing a tad bit too slow

Taste is subjective, I love social deductions and Werewolf like games such as Town of Salem so for me this was a 10/10 VN.

Definitely a worthwhile read. The best way I can describe this game is if it was a combination of Zero Escape without puzzles, Umineko without witches, and Town of Salem.

The script probably could have been tightened up a bit more for the translation, but there was lot of polish put into this. Great premise and distinct, fleshed out characters. Would have loved to explore the world more, and participate in further branching paths, but the final length is about right for the plot.
