"Shiki" is a somewhat poorly made 2.5D point and click adventure where you help out a boy who becomes the keeper of a small, barren star, touching the memories of those who lived there, which doesn't make a lot of sense, but then we shouldn't expect too much. Narrative aside, the technical delivery is incredibly weak and was a leading cause of this product failing. What do you do in the game? Walk around, point and click through a few puzzles, get bombarded with poorly written, endless VR text because the developer didn't understand the "Show, don't tell" axiom of game development. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" textures on low poly assets, instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This game is fairly dated at 6 years old... and even back then it looked old and bu…

So sad that not many people know about this game. The plot, the game mechanics, the art style, everything is nicely done. My only complaint would be the absence of achievemets (and also yeah... the english translation lmao). There are some secret scenes but I don't know how many there are, achievements for each one of them would really help, that way I would know if I missed something TTTT

Игра 'Shiki' - визуальная новелла, которая затягивает своей мрачной атмосферой и захватывающей историей о противостоянии людей и вампиров в отдаленной японской деревне. Сюжет разворачивается постепенно, раскрывая загадки смерти и превращений, заставляя игрока сомневаться в морали персонажей с обеих сторон. Художественный стиль игры, с его уникальным дизайном персонажей и детализированными пейзажами, прекрасно дополняет мрачную тематику. Музыкальное сопровождение создает гнетущую атмосферу, усиливая ощущение надвигающейся беды. Одним из главных достоинств игры является её способность заставить игрока задуматься о вопросах жизни и смерти, добра и зла, жертвенности и выживания. Выбор, который делает игрок, наблюдая за событиями, оказывает значительное влияние на восприятие происходящего и отношение к персонажам. Несмотря на статичность визуальных новелл, 'Shiki' способна увлечь на долгие часы, заставляя переживать за судьбы жителей деревни и размышлять над последствиями их действий. Это мрачная, но захватывающая история, которая оставит после себя долгое послевкусие.
