Looks like it's free on Steam, so I'm gonna check this out. :)

It's pretty awesome, especially if you like horror games.

nayrt but I'm a wimp with horror, but I can appreciate a good creepy story without excessive gore or jump scares. Recommend or not?

nayrt

I think you're probably okay.

SPOILER-ISH
I'm pretty bad with jump scares, and to me, 99% of the visual scares were more like "startles": either there's pretty obvious cues something's going to show up beforehand, or they're just less in-your-face/ears. There's also an obvious event that lets you know that the horror tag is in effect, and nothing before then.

I've only seen or read about 2 "real" jump scares where there's minimal warning and there's specific conditions to trigger them*, but they both happen after things are obviously off in-game.

Gore: from what I remember, there's blood but no viscera

SPOILER SPOILERS
*One is if you're streaming gameplay, the other seems to be specifically pursuing Natsuki's route as possible after the obvious horror event. There's also a random chance to get a jump-scare fakeout when viewing optional poems where it winds you up for one that doesn't happen.

I enjoyed this game! Definitely agree that it's best to go in as blind as possible, but seeing confirmation of the horror tag/warning screen being real and not gags on Steam reviews were what actually drew me to it. That, plus the reviews being largely positive, the game being free and not terribly long, and finding out beforehand that it doesn't rely heavily on jump scares (and it's possible to play through without any) got me interested. There is a bit of weird duality playing it with that knowledge, though -- I played it as normally as possible, and preferred that approach to trying to rush to or overly-anticipate the horror parts since the beginning does lay down some groundwork for the latter (though I was happy for the Skip Text function in a few parts).

Well, count me intrigued. I always appreciate a good genre bait-and-switch. I'm not usually a horror person, but from what I'm seeing upthread I shouldn't have a problem with it, and I can't argue with free.

i love this game so much! i went into it spoiled, but it was still so much fun.
