I recommend this game because it is free. Overall it is quite cute although the story includes a kind of dark kidnapping scenario. The art is fine and I think the writing is fitting for a romance. On the other side: - you need to finish all routes before you basically get the happy endings of any guy - I really dislike when Visual Novels force me through routes I am not interested in just to achieve an ending. - Some of the choices seem a bit random and it is not clear why you meet a certain LI after a certain choice. - Also I think the twins as love interests are not that great, especially as you know your best friend has a crush on one of them and ends up with him in the other endings. - One of the LIs is half-german and there are few German sentences - those are so simple that I do not understand how the author could not get those right (e.g. "Gute nachten" instead of "Gute Nacht"), a simple look in the dictionary would have fixed that

Игра "The Thing With Mistletoes" — это настоящее погружение в атмосферу холодной, отчаянной борьбы за выживание. Разработчики сумели создать гнетущее чувство паранойи, где каждый шорох, каждая тень могут скрывать нечто ужасное. Графика, хотя и не самая передовая, идеально передает мрачную эстетику арктической станции, а звуковое сопровождение просто великолепно — оно усиливает напряжение и заставляет сердце биться чаще. Игровой процесс построен на исследовании, решении головоломок и, конечно же, на постоянном чувстве угрозы. Вам придется не только искать пути спасения, но и бороться с паранойей, пытаясь отличить реальную опасность от плодов собственного воображения. Сюжет интригует и держит в напряжении до самого конца, заставляя постоянно задаваться вопросом: кому можно доверять? Отличный выбор для любителей хорроров с упором на психологическое давление.
