夕鬼 零 Yuoni: Rises

You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/2Ku32qGEv-w [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] This is a visual novel VR that is mostly novel. In other words, you'll be mostly reading text from a sketchbook (3D model). The text is easy to read. Most of the book has been translated well into English. However, I would estimate maybe 5 percent of the story was lost in translation or you need to know more about Japanese culture to understand exactly what was intended. However, creepy stuff does happen along the way. You're in this gorgeous-looking classroom environment throughout and you'll be hearing cicadas most of the time while you read. You'll be reading for long stretches without anything happening. Then this one thing happened that nearly gave me a heart attack. After that, I was tensely reading, wondering what would happen next. Other stuff did happen, but nothing too big. The classroom environment will turn dark, the font color on your sketchbook will change colors, and you'll see some things lurking about [spoiler](and coming for you at the end)[/spoiler]. The whole thing took me about 3 hours. I enjoyed the story. I don't want to give…

This is without a doubt the most boring "game" I ever played. All you do is read a book. I can do that on kindle. The classroom looks cool for about 3 minutes, but you never leave it, never even get up from your seat. I couldn't have made it through if it was free, and I paid $12 for this crap?

All you do is sit at a desk and read white text in front of you. This is more like reading a novel than playing a game.

This game is a visual novel with style, the game is creepy in it's self, but it also leaves you wanting more of that creepiness it provides with it's story and environment it uses both very well, and the ending will shock you pleasantly.
