This might sound silly or reductive, but I guarantee that looking at the game as a rough attempt from the devs to share their childhood trauma made a lot of sense. It sometimes felt a bit naive, though deeply personal and charming. I enjoyed it!

A cute horror game with a nice story. First off, I haven't had any issue with the game crashing. I was a little scared after seeing all the reports after my purchase but there were no issues. The only thing that happened a few times was that when I played on Steam Deck and it went on Standby Mode the game would freeze and I had to restart it. Besides that I had a lot of fun exploring the game and collecting all the items. The riddles (with the Mary Doll or the Hide & Seek) were my favorites. There is a slight jumpscare, the death screen. Not really a jumpscare but it can catch you offguard sometimes and definitely jumpscare you. I liked the ending & I think It's really cool that you can continue playing and exploring after finishing the story. The achievements were fun but the 'Long Night' Achievement (Play for 50 hours) is a bad idea for the game and badly designed as well. You usually finish the game in about 10-12 hours, so even 2 playthroughs would just cover half of the achievement... worst part is that you have to achieve 50 SAVED ingame hours. Means if you have 50 hours on steam client but lost 8 hours of progress because you did not save ingame, it doesn't count and you don't get the achievement. Very important note as well: You can ONLY save at home. The little shrines are just checkpoints for your respawn after you die somewhere. If you DO NOT save at home you will lose your progress and the hours shown on steam are inofficial. I'd recommend it. If you enjoy horror games that have their main focus on the story. you will like this one! ( •ω•ฅ)

This game (and its sequels) is an amazing story. I would definitely recommend it to emotionally mature people. Growth and kindness in the face of terror and trauma may seem unrealistic to some people (I think we call those types cynical), but that is the story here. From dealing with shock and self-blame to helping others despite the situation, this is a great tale of choosing kindness and growing while surviving in an unfair scenario.

Have not finished the game and just half way through. I would recommend this game to everyone who likes Japanese horror, it has beautiful art style and it is really immersive and it gives you a feeling of isolation, helplessness and immense fear of a malevolent spectre and monster that may suddenly pop up and devour you.

I would really love to recommend this game because I really enjoyed playing it on the switch so I got it again for my computer. But now the game crashes once it shows the first official loading screen. I didn't even manage to reach the main menu. Edit: So I would recommend this game if you are willing to do a bit of a dance and change the compatibility of the game to windows 98. That is how I was able to get it to work.
