Review Erkin 4/5 · Nov 8, 2017
Two Japanese visual novel games with interesting concepts, overly exaggerated characters, lots of cringy moments, unnecessarily long dialogues/monologues, too many unanswered questions, moments when things just don't make sense at all, and a lot of moments when you just want to smash your controller onto the screen.

Two Japanese visual novel games with interesting concepts, overly exaggerated characters, lots of cringy moments, unnecessarily long dialogues/monologues, too many unanswered questions, moments when things just don't make sense at all, and a lot of moments when you just want to smash your controller onto the screen. But that doesn't mean that they are bad games. In fact, most of what I said applies to pretty much all Japanese games.
The games involve seemingly innocent high-schoolers who are put in grave situations to see how they would react -- a very interesting idea. The story is full of mysteries, surprises, and twists, and the characters, although highly unusual, are easy to relate to and root for. The gameplay is what you'd expect from a visual novel -- talking to other characters along with some minigames in order to solve the mysteries of the game.
The only thing that bugged me was that the characters just talk too damn much. And its gets more annoying as the games approach their ends as the games consist mostly of dialogues. For example, it takes half an hour to get someone to admit they had committed a crime even though it is 100% decided that they had done it. Altogether, if you enjoy Japanese visual novel games, I think you'd enjoy playing these games. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend playing them.
