An awesome blobber, with great music, setting, plot, characters and gameplay. However, this is a poor port and the game suffers from memory leak issues which will cause your game to crash the longer a session goes on. Thankfully, one of the first characters you get access to has an ability that lets you save anywhere, which is why I still recommend you get it, just make sure to save every hour and then restart the game!

I don't know why Steam said that I spend 23 hours on the game when I actually spend more than 100 hours. I love Mary Skelter a lot. I played all games for 100+ hours, read the Prequel Novels, collected some merch like artbooks and did everything that the games has to offer. Out of all the games, I love this version of MSN the most. The story is great with a loveable cast. The world is wonderful to explore and aesthetically pleasing. The huge amount of references to fairytales in this game is beautiful and well done. I love the usual anime hijinks found in the game and how it works with the setting. Since the story takes place in a literal Wonderland. The Gameplay is quite balanced with a few spikes every now and then. Sure you can break the game in half like every IF/CH game if you know what to do. But the game is not unforgiving and gives you a lot of wiggle room for error. I do suggest to save often as I was told that the PC version will crash sometimes. THE MUSIC IS LEGIT GOD TIER! Great use of Rock and Violin. It fits the tone and mood of the world. I tend listen to the soundtrack almost every day. I recommend this game to anyone who is either an IF/CH fan or a dungeon Crawler fan. The game will provide some scares, excitement, solid gameplay and nice fanservice.

Not really a review and perhaps I'll write one in the future, but suffice to say that I already played the heck out of this on the Vita and have every intention of playing it again here despite my ridiculous backlog. It's sometimes lewd, but mostly just an excellent contemporary DRPG that has some fun systems to play with. An important note, however, is that if you run Malwarebytes real-time protection (malware and ransomware), it will stop this game dead cold every 30 seconds or so for just under a second. It's irritating as hell, and I tried many things to resolve it including futzing with the display settings, throwing it onto an SSD instead of an HDD, etc, but nothing worked until I disabled both real-time protection options in MWB. After that, the game was silky smooth. Small risk if you don't do anything in the background while playing, but worth noting as it took pretty much my entire playtime to figre out. Be advised.

Great game; do not buy this one, buy the sequel, which includes a remake of the first game.

There's a remake included in Mary Skelter 2, if you like the gameplay I recommend this version, but if you favor story, play the remake since it can be completed faster and has the area that connects Nightmares to Mary Skelter 2. The remake has the new visual changes/upgrades, faster movement speed, smaller maps... but I still recommend this one since you get more game, as well as steam achievements and other stuff that is not included in the remake.
