Menhera Deathnote, if the police are incompetent. (Menhera is a japanese slang that basically means people that suffer mental illness).

The prologue is misleading, I thought the VN will focus on the investigation of Corpse Girl (the website that kills people), or maybe it’s from the perspective of the wannabe victim of Corpse GIrl, but in fact, this is a story about Noriko, the Corpse Girl herself, and how she does her thing.

It’s a very interesting premise, but falls apart by the end because the scenarios are so unbelievable. There is no way Noriko is not getting caught with what she is doing if the police are a little bit competent, because everyone else around Noriko found out almost immediately.
If you can suspend your disbelief on that, this novel has a pretty interesting story to tell.

Almost every character in this game is mentally sick. So it is interesting to see how they deal with things, how they view the world around them and why they do the things they did.

While the ending is a bit underwhelming and feels rushed, it’s still a pretty satisfactory ending if you like Noriko. Actually, the entire game after ACT 1 feels rushed, they are not as long and not as fleshed out. It does answer all of the mystery presented in ACT 1, but doesn’t answer why Noriko and everyone else not caught by the police, seriously their entire operation is so bad and so convoluted that it would be a miracle that no one notices.
