"I Can Fix Her" Crimson Gray is probably the best yandere visual novel out there. With its dark atmosphere, well-written characters, captivating story, multiple endings, eerie music, this game has it all for those people looking to get their yandere fix. There are many choices to be made that will take you down a variety of paths. I love the uncertainty you feel with every choice, as it feels like literally anything could happen with these characters. What an incredible read this was... If I could experience it again knowing nothing about it, I absolutely would, 100 times over. Even if yanderes aren't really your thing, I'd still strongly recommend this for people who enjoy a dark, character-driven story.

Pretty interesting psychological-thriller-slash-romance visual novel, with some clever branching, and some really nice art. One playthrough won't take very long, but there's a lot of replayability to try different choices and see all the possible endings (and ends) you can come to.

You can think about this game like a yandere dating visual novel, or you can think about it as a story of dealing with chronic mental health issues. If you relate to either of those, certain lines may... hit hard.

Crimson Gray is a visual novel about a high school student with high functioning depression named John. One day he decides to stick up for Lizzie a girl at his school who is deemed a social outcast. Immediately after this John notices Lizzie has become obsessed with him. Depending on your choice for Johns reason to get involved with this girl, he either deserves the ending he gets or doesn't. Personally I greatly enjoyed my time with Crimson Gray. It was short, but intense. For the record there are nsfw scenes in this game that can be patched in. I didn't do this because I wasn't interested. The only thing I disliked about the story was the subplot with the pharmaceutical company. It felt unnecessary and silly. Buy it on sale if you get the chance!

Crimson Gray, is another yandere visual novel, that i had occasion to play through. After quite harsh review of “It gets lonely in here”, it came time for this vision of lovesick character. This game delivers much better story. The characters are well developed and offer deep backstory. Their actions make sense and are realistic. The Yandere character is well written and feels like they were created with love. They are not just simply evil, there is much more to them. The game even offer the reason why the Yandere is the way they are and I think, that is really good especially because it makes sense! The protagonist of this story is not generic, boring type, that only is love interest of the Yandere, because they are the protagonist. They are actually well fleshed out and it makes sense, why someone would be interested in them. I really enjoyed the dynamic, that those two had between them. It was very fun and interesting. Outside of those two characters, the game offer intriguing side-plot, that is also well written and advanced. Plot of the story deserves rating 5/5 Visuals of the game are definitely the weakest part of the game. However, it doesn’t mean that they are bad. The sprites of characters are decent quality. Especially, worth attention are the scene graphics. They let the skill of the author shine. This all plays well, with the slightly old school feeling of the VN itself. (Like for example “The way we all go”)Rating 4/5 is fair for graphics. Audio of the Game takes it to the next level. Background music really gets the reader into the mood of the story. They are fit perfectly to the scenes and work with them perfectly. Sound effects are well done and complement the novel. 5/5 Rating of this Visual novel is 90.
