About Raisond'etre

◆ GAMEPLAY ◆


 In this 2D adventure title, players can explore as they please, examine objects, solve a series of riddles, and complete a variety of minigames.
 The key feature that ties this all together is the Focus system. By focusing intently, your perception of certain objects and even the events of the story will change.
 Collect hidden items and complete various challenges to unlock all five endings!

 * Using a keyboard for this title is recommended.

◆ STORY ◆


 A solitary soul finds herself in a church of orphans deep within the mountains. There, stench of death lingers night after night.
 Is her being there a simple coincidence? Or is it destiny?
 Why do its residents die? Who kills them? Why was she chosen to live there? These mysteries and more await in an adventure that is certain to unsettle as much as it does intrigue.

◆ CAST ◆


 Are the residents of the church friend or foe? Whatever the answer, you will need their guidance to move forward.
English Localization by Leona Renee of MAMACAT Games, @Hatsuu

✦ AI summary

Raisond'etre is an underrated adventure visual novel that players praise for its compelling multi-perspective story, excellent art design, atmospheric soundtrack, and substantial content including multiple playthroughs and collectibles, with the FOCUS mechanic noted as a standout feature. The common complaint centers on plot clarity, particularly around certain story revelations that confuse some players, though this doesn't diminish their overall appreciation.

This is probably one of the most underrated adventure VN i’ve played/seen and for the price it might be one of my favorites tbh. I recommend playing this game completely blindly with no background of the game it’s worth it

This game deserves way more love. It's insane how underrated and niche it is despite its insane quality. Everything from the art, story, music it's all soooo good!! I was so shocked at how good this game's soundtrack is, it sets the mood just right and makes you really feel like you're there! The character designs are all amazing (I specially really love Rose's design) and the amount of content?? 3 separate povs and one extra story + collectables? The amount of dedication and love put into this game is insane. I wish it gets more well known eventually, because it's definitely one of the best RPG Maker games I've ever played! If you enjoy horror RPGs, by all means get this! It's such a cool experience and the only bad part about it is the fact it ends. So so peak, I loved every second I got to spend with this game!

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
