Definitely a unique experience!

Sound design is really creepy and the amount of interactivity on offer is kept very ambiguous most of the time. Text crawl is relentlessly fast, and some dialogue choices seem to be on offer for only a short moment before becoming unavailable, so if you can't read Japanese about as fast as its spoken then you're gonna get familiar with your emulator's pause button.

The girls behave in a weirdly believable way, like even when they're investigating what is definitely a haunted area they still banter with each other sometimes.

I get the feeling that nothing in Kyuumei Hen is going to actually explain any of what's happened, it seems like the game's first priority is being atmospheric rather than telling a complete story.
