  • Engaging survival horror gameplay with multiple endings and difficulty levels, providing good replayability.
  • Well-designed AI for the antagonist Miyuki, featuring challenging chase mechanics and emotional interactions, including voice acting.
  • High-quality graphics, smooth performance, and an atmospheric abandoned factory setting that differentiates it from similar games.
  • Frequent bugs and technical issues including game crashes, pause screen bugs, and AI getting stuck, disrupting the gameplay experience.
  • Visibility problems and unclear traps that can be frustrating; crouching mechanics and trap visibility need improvement.
  • Map design can be confusing and repetitive, with some players finding the gameplay loop tedious and lacking in content variety.

    The gameplay offers a mix of challenging mechanics and multiple playstyles that some find engaging and well-crafted, avoiding cheap jumpscares in favor of tension built through strategy. However, many users criticize it for instant-kill mechanics, lack of effective hiding spots, and frustrating AI behavior, resulting in a polarizing experience that feels unbalanced and sometimes overly punishing.

    • “However, this game strikes a perfect balance between highly refined gameplay and Miyuki’s well-developed character and lore.”
    • “The in-game mechanics are fun and well made to play around with.”
    • “Instant-kill mechanics in a game like this is not fun.”
    • “The dev needs to fix this and add some real hiding spots that you can close and hide in, make it so her AI doesn't camp your hiding spot, make crouching entirely undetectable. This game is interesting but heavily flawed in its core mechanics; I would rate it 4 out of 10 for a horror game.”
    • “The game does not rely on cheap jumpscares; instead, the horror comes from the gameplay as you find yourself caught in a bad position with no tools to save you.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story revolves around a ghost girl trapped between realms who relentlessly pursues the protagonist in a haunted setting, but suffers from poor narrative depth and numerous bugs that hinder gameplay and immersion. While the plot has potential with its eerie atmosphere and themes of loneliness, execution issues and lack of meaningful gameplay mechanics dampen the overall experience. Some users suggest improvements and inspirations from other horror games to enhance the story and player engagement.

    • “The ghost girl, starved of friends or companionship, wants to end the protagonist so she'll never be alone again. She's stuck between Earth and the spirit realm, making her alone, so she's been ending people to see if they'll end up in her cursed situation. Our protagonist, a paranormal investigator, goes to the building where the ghost lives to investigate. The story combines elements of loneliness and supernatural suspense.”
    • “Basic rundown: you are looking for codes for a 4-digit passcode for a combination lock but first need keys to unlock doors 2 and 3. The ghost girl behaves like Gollum from Lord of the Rings because she loves one door, calling it her precious. After you get three artifacts, she teleports to the door for a ritual to free her or escape with the key in hand. The story adds a ritualistic and investigative dimension to the gameplay.”
    • “Best gila game ni, seram plot twist jumpscare pon padu, mesti viewer suka. (Translation: This is the best crazy game, with scary plot twists and solid jumpscares, viewers will definitely like it.)”
    • “Many recent yandere-themed indie games suffer from poor storytelling and focus too heavily on the character alone, while offering weak or unpolished gameplay.”
    • “The story is simple and basic: you look for codes for a 4-digit passcode and keys to unlock doors, but the AI controlling Miyuki is inconsistent, sometimes turning off power, with multiple bugs affecting gameplay and story immersion, such as non-functional notebook opening and ghost behaviors that break the game experience.”
    • “The ghost girl in the story is starved of companionship and wants to end the protagonist to avoid loneliness, but she's stuck between the Earth and spirit realm. The story involves paranormal investigation, but cameras and gameplay elements are poorly designed and buggy, leading to frustration and a lack of depth in the plot.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game's music features reactive cues that play when the player is detected by the ghost, enhancing tension, and cut immediately when out of sight. However, a radio that plays music reminiscent of FNAF 2 is rarely encountered due to bugs, limiting the musical experience. Overall, the music contributes to atmosphere but is hindered by technical issues and lack of variety.

    • “You'll never find that radio that plays music like FNAF 2 with the music box. She'll go to it if you ever find it, but you'll never see it because it went on break forever. I found it twice and that's it. Good luck getting her to get off her precious door; that takes forever.”
    • “When you're spotted, you can hear a music cue.”
    • “And when she loses sight of you, the music cuts immediately.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are visually impressive and run smoothly even on maximum settings, offering a realistic and polished experience. However, some users feel that despite the high-quality visuals, the game could benefit from more creative or engaging graphical elements. Overall, the graphics are praised as stunning and a strong point of the game.

    • “Highkey, I thought this game would lag if I put on max graphics, but it didn't, and the game is super fun.”
    • “It's like the more visually realistic version of that yandere anime high school girl game. Given that game was very creative and brutal, I feel like this game, while graphically superior, needs a lot more.”
    • “Graphics look just astonishing.”

  • character development

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users praise the character development for its exceptional design and voice acting, highlighting Miyuki as a standout example that significantly enhances the game's appeal.

    • “Furthermore, Miyuki truly has the most amazing character design I have seen in a while.”
    • “Her voice acting and character design truly are peak and what sells this game overall.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game is enjoyable but suffers from significant stability issues due to numerous bugs.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect is seen as tedious and repetitive, with players frequently having to avoid or deal with unavoidable traps, leading to frustration and a lack of meaningful progress.

    • “Hitting traps nonstop, or just having to tediously crouch to avoid the same trap you can't clear in any meaningful way gets old quick.”

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is limited and situational, with attempts at funny interactions often leading to negative or hostile responses from characters.
