The main reason why I’ve always loved horror games is because they can work with almost any genre: action-adventure, rpg, puzzle-platform, or a visual novel. As long as I get the right amount of thrill and suspense, it doesn’t matter to me if I have to shoot my way through a level, or just read most of the time.

This is why I loved 'Death Mark', and why I love 'NG' just as much, even though it’s far from being perfect. It could get me emotionally involved with its characters and storyline, the ghosts were genuinely scary, and the whole game had one of the most memorable atmospheres in any game I’ve played. The feeling of dread was always there, and some of the images were so twisted that I had to take a little break after seeing them to collect myself.

Would have loved some more voiced scenes, but all in all, this was an experience I will surely not forget for a while. Recommended for mature gamers only!
