TST is like a time capsule of horror games, I mean... beyond things like walkmans and stuff, the rumors are like very basic and focused on confronting a ghost and giving a quick tragic story, then moving on to something else when nowadays horror games usually have you explore X place and tell you the history of that place, the ghosts and inhabitants.
At first I didn't like how open it is and how outdated it feels in conveying horror, but then looking online, I saw that it was based on rumors of ghosts IRL in Japan, which made it more interesting on an educational level.
The game uses scaled down photos + pixel art, but the ghosts are less pixelated photos of real people, but not sharp enough to realize it's a photo and I love it! it gives it an uncanny look that I adore but sadly failed to enjoy beyond that.
The stories are very simple and quick, and most of them could be summed up to 3 minutes instead of 2 hours and I still have 2 twilight syndromes to play, so I hope they're better qwq
My biggest problem with TST is that it's very simplistic! it drags its story a lot to barely tell anything, but from the cliffhanger of the ending, the next game is going to be much better and less simple since it's not going to be more mysteries in the school..? I hope?? idk
I spoiled myself to see what's up with the twilight syndrome and silver case relationship and yeah, I saw that it gets better in the future, but that's about it. TST really feels like a biiiiiiiig buildup that while I didn't enjoy as much as I wanted to, I hope it was worth it.
