Seven Mysteries: The Last Page

⠀

Writing this review I played both the newer and older (original) versions of the game to make an accurate opinion *. It feels like the charm of the original game was taken away through the new version, a lot more rushed to get to point A-B rather than allow the player to focus on exploring the surroundings and understanding the story in full. I did my best to get through all achievements since I've loved the original game, but eventually the more I played the game, the more uninterested I grew. The story was rather thrust into your hand, It was clear where you had to go, what to do basically and ... That was it, pretty much. I wasn't really a fan of the name changes for the characters, the game would have been better had the characters had their original names - I doubt It would have mattered to the international audience If they had to read Vietnamese names. Name's don't matter as long as you have a good story going on. Was able to discover some differences in story between the two versions, such as [spoiler] In the original: Linh/"Neal" was blackmailed by the Headmaster, while the remake wanted to treat him like a protagonist in later few chapters and deal with Sang.

I really want to like this game, but it seems like it is unfinished for a paid game (although it is only $1.49). The game freezes at several points like when opening the menu. There is also no "game over" screen for the first part at least- when I thought the game had frozen instead it was a game over when it stopped and went to the title screen. The story is alright so far, but the game is difficult to play because of some bugs seemingly. It seems kind of like it's unfinished/still has some issues to work out.

Seven Mysteries: The Last Page is an absolutely bullcrap of a RPG Maker horror game, okay to be honest about the story its very confusing and really dumb so I'm just going to say this story is about the mysterious incidents that has happened at this school and how it all came to be. Now then likes, the rpg maker graphics are pretty good, nothing too complex but as you know you don't need the greatest graphics to make a great game, the levels were nice a little diverse as we explore the school. The story its well pretty damn bad, but I will say there are some parts I liked, the characters were okay nothing really to write home about, but the three main characters were good. The multiple endings you can get I found them interesting until the last two endings and the game does have some nice gore effects. The atmosphere for the game is okay pretty spooky sometimes for first time players, now is the game scary at first yes but then you get used to it and it's jump scares. Now then dislikes, and oh boy is there a lot to dislike about this stupid game. The story is pretty damn bad while there are some parts I did like, like I said there just too much bad in it, like some parts of the …

I got bored. There are only a few good jumpscares, and the rest is reading. It's okay I guess.

Compared with the old free version, this remaster fails to deliver the same immersive atmosphere. The classic school horror legend vibe gradually shifts into a story of mutual salvation between two characters in the later half. There is even a hug scene between them, which feels really gay and incredibly shippable. The perfect ending, where they redeem each other and return to daily life, hits unexpectedly hard and touching. That said, the game still suffers from plenty of bugs. The cutting ending crashes with missing file errors. Also, the character sometimes freezes completely when smashing the glass with a fire extinguisher. I hope the developer can fix these issues soon.
