ScreamCap

So I loved the concepts in this game and the characters especially, but the story and execution quickly ruined it. The characters were diverse and nuanced, and I honestly wanted to dig deeper with them. I have no complaints about them or the art style, which was excellent. The story was interesting, even when i guessed the twist quickly, and the first the of the game felt well done and cohesive through my run. However, that started to change by the second area, the end of which felt a little jumpy. it got worse in the third half, and became a serious problem in the finale. There were revelations that either I missed by choosing a different route or simply were not by the end I was confused as to explained clearly. I think part of this stems from the fact that you choose a companion to go into each chapter, and while I mixed and matched, maybe that was a mistake. It also felt like the last two areas were very brief, especially compared to the first two areas. Another area that didn't quite work was the in-world "stream chat." I loved the concept, and at first it was everything it was cracked up to be, but again, towards the end it started glitching slightly by being ahead of what …

WHOA! What a cool game, some may even say the best game! Cool characters in which to date, and cool ghosts in which to bust.

Scream Cap is a short and sweet little mystery vn with some small romantic undertones you can have with each team character. There are no CG's to my knowledge however, but you do get to have a cute and sweet ending with different characters. The character designs and environments overall are made with much love and unique care! I especially like the designs for the ghosts and ghouls! The game is worth the price if you play each route focusing on each team member, but if you just want to do one route i'd say get it on sale. To get the full understanding of the story I think more playthroughs will help flesh things out. It was charming, and silly playthrough for me! I do recommend it!

[h1]Short Review:[/h1] - Fun idea about paranormal investigators live streaming - Story was confusing but interesting (less confusing if you choose Raz for everything first) - Mostly dialogue, little narration - Choices don't affect plot but can lead to romance - Touching friendship - Unique characters - Bold, fun art (no CGs) - Overall an enjoyable, fairly quick visual novel [h1]Full Review:[/h1] This has some great elements, and I enjoyed playing it! I just also have a few complaints. [b]Likes:[/b] A visual novel about a team of paranormal investigators running a live stream is a fun idea! The live chat (part of the game, not real people) along the side of the screen is also fun and written in a way that made it feel genuine, not too perfect. I liked the story. It was more serious than I was expecting. The paranormal/mystery element was interesting, especially once I got all the pieces of the puzzle and mostly understood. And the character/emotional arc element was realistic and touching, ultimately about support and friendship. The characters were all unique without being exaggerated caricatures, and they were likeable. I liked getting to know them a bit. You can romance…

Very fun game!! I've only played through the game romancing Charlie so far but I really liked all the characters. The designs for the non humans were also super, super cool and i loved seeing them :o) It was also interesting seeing how the chat was reacting to everything going on, whether they were skeptics or fully on board!

This game deserves so much more recognition! I'm so obsessed with the characters and the surrounding world! Would love to see another game with the same characters, if possible.
