10/10 It's been a while since an ending has truly left me speechless. This game was a fantastic way to cap off the trilogy, and I couldn't imagine it ending any other way. The art was gorgeous, the music was lovely, the cast of characters -both new and returning- were stellar. The story overall was amazing, and the way everything came to a close in the end was fantastic.

Kara no Shoujo 3, the stunning, torturously good conclusion to one of the most uniquely compelling stories out there. Like a twisted obsession, much like Reiji and many of the other afflicted characters, It was almost impossible to stop reading. To see the fruit of the massive buildup in this series, presented so spectacularly in this game, was one of the greatest joys for me. You can finally see the entire picture, no longer obscured by things you don't know; A series that managed to tear my heart in half and crush it brutally underfoot in the last game, and did it again just as well, is a undeniably an impressive one. No one knows what they could possibly be getting into with the KnS series, and that's the way it should be. No amount of writing can convey my love for this series, and it certainly can't tell anyone how incredible it is. Kara no Shoujo is the grandmaster of toying with your feelings. It rips and tears your soul apart, patches in back up, and ruthlessly shatters it again. I'm sure this is one of the reasons why it's so captivating... but I can't help but appreciate how a perfect medley of song, sound and sights make the emotionally important scenes that much better; From seeing unspeakably gruesome murders to the most idyllic scenes, there is a wonderful balance here. KnS3 and its other games have great pacing, and it keeps you and your screen inseparable. To be completely honest, it made me feel things I've never felt from other games. It's really worth seeing something for yourself. At first, I wasn't used to seeing Sugina Miki's new art, but soon enough, it almost immediately felt just right. You're not shortchanged in the slightest with art in this game, since it has almost 10 full pages of CGs, and another fantastic soundtrack with some fancy vocal songs composed by MANYO. It really is a high quality game, one that broke and fixed me all at once, and I urge you to try the series for yourself, as it left me in complete peace and contentment.

The Shell Part III is a gorgeous, ethereal, gruesome and - ultimately - bittersweet conclusion to Innocent Grey's trilogies of murder mystery stories. While the main case of this game in particular wasn't as gripping as the ones in Part I and Part II, the overarching narrative surrounding the events of the previous two games more than makes up for that. This game is the peak of Innocent Grey (particularly their Gugnir devision) character design. It's evolved from feeling like muted water colour anime paintings to something more sketchbook like. The music is some of the absolute best in the series, "Girl in Eden" in particular is right up there with the best songs from Part I and II. While some fans may be disappointed in the lack of X-Rated content in comparison to what was seen in previous games, I feel like this only helped the genuine tender moments between characters blossom more naturally and feel more rightfully earned than used as an excuse to have two characters have sex. A real step up from Part I and especially Part II which had a totally uneeded, mandatory to watch for the true ending rape scene in it in this regard. Some people will hate the ending. Others will think it's simply adequate but I think it's the ending that this protagonist deserves to have. I won't say much more than that at this stage, other than play this game if you haven't yet (provided you also have played Part I and II of course!). Simply the greatest trilogy of visual novels you'll ever find.

As with the other two in the trilogy, you need the patch to see everything. The game is a fulfilling conclusion to the series and to an extent, Cartagra, though knowledge of that one isn't needed to appreciate the final chapter. Most, if not all questions are finally answered, a number of characters finally get their happy endings, but most end on bittersweet endings, which is standard fare for the series as a whole, however, the endings are ultimately concluded with a sense of finality instead of a to be continued like the first two. I don't know if there will be a sequel but as of right now it doesn't seem that way, and that's probably for the best all things considered.
