Withered Flower

Just as the story begins to get interesting (despite the poor English translations), the game abruptly ends with no resolution at all. Combined with the lack of manual saves, it’s a frustrating experience that’s tough to recommend.

The mystery is kinda fun and it's a bit funny. Although a decent number of the jokes as well as dialogue that has been translated into …
