this is everything a kanto remake should be. not only is it ran on the amazing engine that ruby, sapphire, and emerald has but it has challenges from the first gen. it also doesn't have any of the awkward bugs and glitches from the first two gens. they also add some additional content, but not too much that to the point where it makes it awkward.

overall a really intriguing visual novel! completed akane's route and bad ends (my first route) and aoi's route and bad ends on 11/11/22 and kiika's route on 11/12/22 early in the morning. i love how this visual novel seems to follow the format of a typical horror film, they even reference the horror film format and sadako in the game!
though it is a black cyc game and has gore in the title, shockingly it's not as gorey as i expected so far. the intense squicky gore in the game seems to be in kiika's route. on the topic of gore, i love gore himself and he's fucking hilarious. i'm usually not one for dark humor involving death, but that one scene in the game with sashimi and the teacher absolutely obliterated me. i also think that yuuka and gore are an interesting tag team. there's still mysteries that i haven't found in the game (like what gore and yuuka are) but i'm hoping to uncover that as i play more paths today!

did the horrifying locked room scenario A LOT better than euphoria, personally. i think it also exhibited the consequences of some choices pretty well. the characters friendship was really sweet and i loved the true ending. i would say one of the only bad things (outside from the noncon) was the fact this was pretty short?
