higurashi is pretty good, didnt watch the anime but the vn was super atmospheric
I've been eyeing the game on Steam, would you recommend it to someone who has enjoyed the Ace Attorney games? (They're all pretty much point and click detective games)
Higurashi is a pure visual novel, so no gameplay elements at all.
I adored the VN, but it is a bit slow for the first few chapters. Theres 8 chapters total and expect to spend 8 hours at least per chapter, the last chapter is 15 hours.
If you dont mind it being a bit slow to ramp up, i think most people would love it. The overall mystery in highrashi trumps anything in phoenix wright imo, especially the big reveal of the who, what, when, where and why.
Basically its flawed but its great nonetheless.
The music in the game is second to none however. I dunno if the steam version has the original tracks, but half the reason the atmosphere is as amazing as it is is because of the music. No other game or VN has matched it to date except maybe umineko
Thank you for the response! I'll definitely get it if there's a Steam sale then! I really liked the anime so if it can expand on that then I'm down.
