This review contains spoilers

When a game ends up making you wake up in the middle of the night physically dead due to how fucked up its ending was, that's how you know an ending has an insane amount of impact.

I played this game going down Freya's route, and got 6 out of the 10 endings available. The bad endings for Freya and Rozenmarine (not placing the Token of Love), the church ending, the Walpurga ending, the Freya sacrifice ending and the Freya happy ending.

And I did the Freya sacrifice immediately after seeing the happy ending.

I've never felt so absolutely horrible seeing an ending, Freya's screams are horrifying while you're forced to just sit there and do nothing. And Elise breaking down into tears at the end due to her wish being worthless, and having lost the person she cherished most of all was the way to emotionally kill me after the fact.

I have some issues with certain gameplay sections, but honestly they don't even matter. This game was amazing.
