“[b]Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo[/b] is an interesting work because it seemingly promises us with a death-game like scenario during its prologue, only to abruptly makes a 180 into a [i]whodunit[/i] for…”

“One of the best mystery solving games I have ever played. I don't usually pay much attention to Visual Novel style games, but this one has such great art, music, and characters. The story is incredibly compelling and…”
“Short and sweet, perfect this weekend. I loved every moment of it! It's been awhile since I last played a VN so this felt nice. The music was perfect! Would be even better with VA but this is already so good!”
“非常精彩的视觉小说(喜欢画风和电视类的滤镜)。特别有代入感的作品,玩过之后毫不犹豫的购入下一代。 喜欢这种阴阴的氛围和故事(也特别喜欢妈妈的那条线)不过感觉如果真的可以choice matter/多结局的话会更香一点(?)但现在就已经是一部非常不错的作品了!让我深陷悬疑灵异视觉小说不能自拔的开端”

“This game reminds me a lot of Danganronpa or Ace Attorney in the design department. It's got great artwork and very memorable characters. The story bits are delivered in small packages or segments that you can click and…”
“This game is a delight the whole way through, a gripping story with a sprinkle of meta elements that really keeps you hooked. Unfortunately it kinda falls on it's face in the ending. Without giving it away it forgoes a…”

“This is a tough one for me. This is not my first VN, and I typically enjoy games in this genre. But something about this game feels so tedious, and I think it's the interacting elements. Being able to "Think" is fun. It…”
