Misericorde Volume Two: White Wool & Snow

“Incredible soundtrack, atmosphere, mystery plot and some of the best character writing of any visual novel or indeed any game ever.”

“The music is unbelievably great and varied, worth getting for that alone.”

“The mysteries of Linbarrow Abbey continue to deepen (among other things) and the soundtrack continues to blow me away.”

“Still impossibly well written, still beautifully crafted backgrounds and expressive character art, combined with little graphical touches build a strong sense of place and time.”

“Better graphics, more in-depth characters, more reflections and insights into any topic covered and above all the murder mystery forces you to want to read more and more.”

“Easily one of the best narratives of the year with amazingly done visuals and incredibly evocative music.”

“The great character writing and the gradual build-up to horror and mystery is really well done, and the game is great at creating the right kind of atmosphere.”

“Incredible soundtrack, atmosphere, mystery plot and some of the best character writing of any visual novel or indeed any game ever.”

“The writing is as gripping as ever, the characters as engaging as ever, and what's more, the tension and drama are even more present this time, keeping the atmosphere and qualities of what we experienced previously, while more than once even displaying the feel of a mysterious thriller or a fantastical horror story, while remaining engaging as a pursuit of its murder mystery premise.”

“Volume two is the difficult middle chapter, the dread keeps building up, and things get way more explicit and sexy and weird and funny and dark.”

“Her beliefs, flaws, and observations are often funny or deeply sad.”

“But more than anything, everyone in this convent is complicated, messy, sexy, funny, fantastic, and an absolute delight to get to read and analyze.”

“That's an honor that few other games have ever received; it's a testament to just how profoundly amazing the character writing is, how amazing the conflicts are portrayed and how they evolve, and especially the emotional aspects of each sister as the story progresses.”

“This volume was an emotional roller coaster, felt like so much happening so fast.”

“You start to clearly see how she becomes the emotionally distant yet manic 'present' version of herself telling the story to whoever is interviewing her.”

“Darcy and Angela are fantastic — the character development of everyone, including Hedwig, has been really well thought out and relatable.”

“While this is still not a typical murder investigation by any means, the pacing picks up quite a bit in this volume as Hedwig finally starts to gain a better understanding of her fellow sisters, with one character in particular receiving the most compelling development, and makes some useful discoveries along the way.”
