As an avid visual novel reader, I’ve read hundreds of VNs in both Japanese and English, ranging from charage, moege, and scenarioge to utsuge and even nukige. I can confidently say this is one of the best VNs I’ve experienced. For a “death game” scenario, it’s rare to find writing of this quality. Every character is portrayed beautifully, and by the end of the game, it’s hard not to grow attached to all of them. If you can read Japanese, do yourself a favor and play it. If not, I highly recommend waiting for the English translation in which I sincerely hope it does the original justice.

日本語は以下にあります。 English comes first. English I am writing this review in case someone reads it when the english version eventually comes, or if you're just like me and can read japanese and want to give it a try. The game simply is excellent. It's hard to believe it's the first game that came out of this indie studio (2025 seems to be that kind of year !). This game has everything: enthralling, well paced story with intriguing mysteries, a cast of very diverse and well written characters, very cute gothic-like anime art, and a beautiful OST that helps build atmosphere or tension. Its also fully voice acted, with very talented voice actors that really bring the girls to life ! Of course, the game relies on shock for its plot twists so I would recommend going in blind as much as you can. The game really keeps a lot of surprises all the way through, so it would be a shame to ruin that for yourself. The game switches between your usual VN scenes and Trial phase. First, the VN part is where its mostly just going along either slice of life scenes with the girls, trying to find out the secrets of this mysterious prison the girls are held in, or gathering clues after a murder happens. Then, you have the trial phase where its much more active: you have to listen to hearing sessions where the girls make their testimonies, and you can either agree/disagree (and more) with what they are saying, using evidence to back you up. What is interesting is that you need to also take into account the girls' magical powers into account, and of course the possibility that some of them may just lie or mislead you about what they're capable of. There is also a dose of yuri in this VN ! Unfortunately, there is nothing explicit in terms of romantic relationships here (as it is usually the case with these "yuri adjacent" games...) but its still very cute and the community already is not afraid of shipping some couples together haha ! Finally, if you're learning japanese and want to challenge yourself to read this VN, I found that most characters are easy to understand and use simple japanese, although some may speak in either a slang/poetic/formal way. The narration may also be difficult if you're not used to it, and the game does use a lot of specific vocabulary related to the murders/trials etc. The trial phase also involves dialogue that goes on automatically, so you cannot stop to read it properly. But you can listen to those multiple times, so hopefully it should be OK. There is also a chat log where you can listen or read previous lines as much as you want, so that is really helpful. Sometimes furigana appears on some words, but its not often and its very inconsistent (why do you add furigana above 私 but not 鬱陶しい, game ? XD), so I wouldn't rely on it too much. In any case, if you can afford it, please please give it a try ! I really do believe this game will be a reference in the VN genre in the future (it already is a hit in Japan to be honest). 日本語 神げー。今年にクリアした一番面白いゲームだと思います。ストリーも裁判も面白いし、ずっと続きが気になっててやっぱり「もう少し進みたいな～！！」っていう気持ちが多かったです(笑)。 キャラみんな可愛くて、誰でも印象に残りました。絵もBGMもとても良かったです。百合が好きな方もおすすめできます！明確に同性愛というわけではないけれど、それでも尊い推しカップルがいます(笑)。チャンスがあればぜひ、試してみてほしいです！作ってくれた会社の皆さんに、本当にありがとうございました！ということを伝えたかったです！

A fantastic mystery/fantasy hybrid which takes inspirations from Dangan Ronpa but features enough unique aspects to stand on its own. Plot, characters, graphics and soundtrack are all superb. The premise is simple: 13 girls are abducted and imprisoned on a remote solitary island because they pose a potential danger to the outside world - as witches. At the age of 15. girls who are compatible with the "witch factor" risk turning into witches - wicked, immortal creatures who purely act on murderous instinct and start killing everyone indiscriminately. Therefore, the 13 girls are confined in the witch's mansion and monitored by a mechanical owl called Gokuchou 24/7. However, once the girls fully awaken their witch powers, their minds become corrupted and overcome with uncontrollable murderous intent, inevitably resulting in them killing each other. Your only way to survive is to find the "witch" who committed the murder and execute her, as failing to do so will get EVERYONE executed... and so the nightmare begins. The gameplay consists of investigating various places in and around the witch's mansion prior and after a murder and solving these murders during the trial. You can object/agree to arguments, but also inquire further information and even outright lie to corner and expose the culprit. Some cases are weaker than others but overall, they are well written and very fun to solve. If ypu are a fan of puzzle/detective games (and can endure young girls experiencing extreme trauma and suffering), this game is highly recommended... provided you are proficient in Japanese or Chinese. Hopefully, an English localization is on the way - this game deserves to be enjoyed by a global audience.
