played oct 5th for rpgmaker october

this is the better one of tokiiro kaeru's 2 games that're english translated (not counting the remake of devil of the mirror). far more dread inducing, for one. and i really liked whenever the game evoked all of these mythologies in its notes/puzzles/bits of dialogue, like on the purification of spirits and astrology and shit like that. gave a greater weight to the "border btwn life and death" stuff burial is concerned than the actual goings-on btwn its characters did, like you really are in a forsaken haunted catacomb beneath a church. while this game is not that straightforwardly effective as a story it does care alot abt its themes in a way that's hard to not appreciate and feel immersed for it! p good game

btw if you play this, take a picture of all 4 of those statues in the room w the gems puzzle. the reason why is mean as fuck but i gotta respect it a little
