So I clicked that glitched button and started playing again. I go to leave the game when I noticed the play button as well as one of the girls on the main menu was glitchy. I thought the game was done at this point-in-time, I wasn't prepared for what was to come. I already knew of the moment, but the way the scene played out still shocked me. You walk into Sayori's room to find her hanging from the ceiling. I just never knew when it would come, and the depressing tension kept mounting. All the while, I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for the moment that I knew about to happen. To keep things short: the poems get more and more depressing to borderline disturbing, Sayori becomes more and more depressed, and the group gets in more and more fights. I go back anticipating more great poems from the girls, only to find them somewhat depressing. Anyways, another in-game day passes, and I am stuck in another mini-game choosing words that at the time I didn't know had meaning. That was when I started looking forward to the poems. Let's get to the good stuff." But it was when I read Natsuki's poem on how people try but only just was when I realized what I was missing out of. When meeting back with the girls, I thought "great, more talking. At this point, I thought I knew how the game would play out to the end because the one thing I knew about this game was that one of the girls hanged herself. I didn't know at the time that the negative words appeal to Yuri, but I still avoided them and thought that this is the beginning of the end. The horror came from the fact that some of the words were negative. The point of this is to choose words that will appeal to one of the girls that you want to appeal to. You pick twenty words in total that will be used to make a poem that you don't see. For those who decided to read this without playing the game, the game has a mini-game where you are given a list of ten words to chose from, in which the list changes every time you pick a word.


After what felt like forever of meeting everyone at the club and whatnot, the scene finally comes for me to do things, and that was when I started to notice its creepy side. I started playing the game expecting things to be scary as soon as I pressed start, but what I thought would be instant wasn't so instant. Despite that, I still held onto the hope of this game being greater than all of that. I don't want to be seen with an anime game because of how many anime games on Steam being straight porn. So I loaded it up and shamefully started playing the game. But it wasn't until recently I discovered through a podcast that the horror tag may be right all along, so I was intrigued. All I saw was a bunch of pictures of anime girls with a warm and fuzzy description and psychological horror genre tags that I thought were jokes. I don't like anime games, so it's no surprise I passed this one on fast. Also, if you a person like myself who don't like anime games, I highly recommend you play this one.įor those who want to know real quick what my thoughts are, here they are: holy crap what did I just experience? But let's take a step back to the very beginning of my one day journey through this crazy journey about a literature club at a school. Play the game on Steam, don't use your real name when it asks for your name in the game, then come back here once you are done. Note: If you haven't played the game, don't read this.
