Went on a nostalgia trip and binged a bunch of RPGmaker horror games that I watched youtubers play back in the Cretaceous period years ago. Ignoring the old engine limitations (mostly referring to the clunky combat), this game, along with Ib, are the best of them. Honorable mention goes to Mad Father. Love the story and writing. I forgot most of the plot, so the twist still hit when I got to it. Old gem

Absolute peak 🤚😲✋ Cinema. Played on RPGMaker way back in the day, bought this and it's sequels, I can't wait to play the rest. I'm very happy I got to experience this all over again, all endings, saving my GOAT on the 2nd playthrough and being able to enjoy the amazing chills once more. If you're into horror/psychological with an incredible story that won't take much of your time, I highly recommend.

one of my favorites in the JRPG horror genre along with Ib, The Witch's House, Mad Father and Pocket Mirror, Uri is an amazing developer and 11 bucks in total just to buy the entire Strange Men series felt like a steal. The Crooked Man is probably her most famous work and for good reasons, I love how the story wraps up in the end and how each character felt like a real person with real irl issues. I highly recommend to anyone to try out this game or just the entire series as a whole and to support the developer, after all, each Strange Men game is 3 bucks each so you're not spending that much.

it's one of the best 2d psychological horror games i've ever played. the way it deals with topics like death, suicide, and accepting life for what it is is really well done.

As of now, i finished the first walkthrough, I have one achievement left to do. I'm gonna be honest, the ending was extremely emotional and I like it a lot. The graphics are great. The gameplay is great, although you cannot find a 100% walkthrough guide (in English and on steam) it was quite easy to do the achievements, I love this game and it connects emotionally to some players in many different ways. Definitely recommend! Anyways, I'm gonna complete the last achievement tmrw! ;p
