A solid horror VN that's sadly still marred by the same issue I had with the first game. The life or death bits where you have to make decisions are really not clear at all, and even though this entry is much more lenient with saves than Death Mark, it's still loads of trial and error. Getting it wrong, choosing "Try Again" and holding L1 to scrub through dialogue to the choice screen again. Maybe guessing wrong a second time and having to do it all over, only knowing the correct way this time purely from process of elimination.

But outside that mildy annoying thing, it's still a good time. Artwork is once again just gorgeous, and the CG scenes are so lovely and grimy. I'm a big fan of the 2D animation style they do for the spirits in these games too. Much better than a still sprite. Just hoping the next entry is worked a bit better. Looks like it's gonnae play differently from the initial screens, resembles Red Candle's Detention quite a bit.
