And so Blackshadow Came

Recommended –8.5/10 Summary Length: 2-3 Hours Experience: escape Good ambiance Story: 4/5 Gameplay: 4/5 Originality: 4/5 Scenes: 4.5/5 Amount of Content: 4/5 Characters: 5/5 Performance & TL:4/5 <3

Very solid game, great atmosphere, most of the h scenes are very good. Gameplay wise its extremely barebones and occasionally somewhat frustrating, but the major scenes serve well enough to create tension. It can kind of take you out of the experience having to wait through all the dialogue if you die more than once to the same enemy though. I do wish there was more content and a larger monster variety, but that's mainly because I like what is here so much. I'm a big fan of a lot of the weirder and darker tags they have here and wish we got to see more stuff in that nature. This is one of the best horror H-games I have played, was genuinely somewhat unsettling at times, and the combination of horror and fetish content works extremely well. This is the exact type of game I want more of

Had horrible framerate while playing but it was my laptop, HOWEVER slogging through the text would still be an issue. And the fact you need to lose to see the content (this kind) is troublesome as hell. Yeah you can save just before, but it's still AN issue, and something that can be solved by just beating the game. The grainyness filter of the game had its moments but after a while it becomes rather annoying and the fact it's not an option is dumb. MC hits just fucking right and so do the tags for me for what this game has. Though, imho, it could be a lot darker in content for what it covers. So obviously I love the CGs content. It's almost near 5s but the needing to lose (and walls of 'true' unskipable text) really hinders the amount of honriness one puts into it.

Such a great game! Want more games like this. Reminds me Night of Revenge a little. Wish there were more cool fetishes like nipple fuck, oviposition, urethra penetration, e.t.c. But it is very good. Animation and art style carry it a lot.

Fappable. That's what I'd summarize this game as. My reviews on h-games are based on this one concept. "Can I preform combat and min/max it then immediately a frame after see my character get plowed and turned into a breeding bed?" Yes. This game can do it, although, it lacks for reasons that hard to put into words. The quality is there, the MC is charming, the mood is set, the story is entertaining... The gameplay loop. That's what it is; paired with the "reward" being a CG. The CGs aren't bad, by any means; tentacles, looming darkness, the lust and corruption of sharing pleasure forever and being a breeding bed . I personally like the Jellyfish one, which seems to be popular among the commenters too. The MC looks good and her body is mature and young in the right ways so you get to make your own headcanon. So by all means, there's nothing to really complain about, but it feels... uninspired? Lack of a better word, since I do commend the artist and the effort. I feel like if the developer were to improve this game, he'd just need more assets for customization. Maybe black pigtails, or a brunette ponytail? Different eyes or colors? Maybe even the darkness itself could change? Instead of being red and black, make it green or white even? Or clothing swaps? Breast size adjustments? It's so close to being a 5 star but it's missing just a dash of creativity. Still very hot and enjoyable for the player, but there's no reason to come back.

I've revised my review to further explain my problems with this game. The gameplay is pretty much nonexistent. It might as well be a visual novel with walking, since you only run around super long hallways wherever the game tells you to, so you can pick up items to... Unlock more parts of the school to run to. While you are getting to your destination, a monster might spawn in the hall where you may have to hide in lockers or use your abilities to get around it. ...But this can be easily avoided by stepping into another room, because the monster despawns as soon as you exit the room it's in. Then you can just go back out and go on with your day. This makes up about 70% of the game. The rest of it is dialogue and encounters with different monsters, where you once again... Run through rooms or super long hallways. I also haven't mentioned that you can move towards and away from the camera, which doesn't get used enough. This feature is only used in about 3 parts in the game. I think these issues could've been improved upon by making it so that monsters constantly roamed around the school, so it forces you to actually use the abilities given to you. And the game could've taken advantage of how you can move up or down more, like adding debris and traps to the halls so you'd have to move around them, like how they did in only 2 encounters. The art is fine, but it doesn't really justify the fact that there is no game . I won't commentate on the story though, because I'm not exactly the biggest fan of walls of text. Overall, a very bland experience that could've been more. Spoiler: Old review The gameplay is just a boring walking sim with barely anything to do. The whole game is running from hall to hall and it's possible to beat it without even having to hide in lockers. What the game is lacking is having any actual threat. You can easily avoid any encounters in the halls by simply stepping into a classroom when you hear them emerge, and they'll immediately despawn. And when you're in a scripted situation where you simply can't just enter another room, it all just comes down to running in a straight line for like 10 seconds. The only actual gameplay was in the restroom and the music room, but then again it's way too easy. The art isn't bad though, that's all I can say for positives.

Despite what the warning says, this is not a guro game, there is only one slightly disturbing scene with the bellybutton and even that is whatever. The rest are literally just normal tentacle scenes. This game is also not horror (unless you've never played a horror game and get scared at everything), there are no jumpscares nor excessively creepy stuff. Just variations of the monster. Those two things aside, I'll begin my actual review: Difficulty: Neither too hard nor too easy One of the things I was worried about going into this game was that it was going to be an overly complex puzzle game like many other games of this format, but there were no real puzzles in this game and each of the boss fights were intuitive, unique, and neither too hard nor too easy. In short, good. H-Scenes: Creme de la creme It is amazingly animated with multiple Live2D animations per scene. The animations fluidly change to match the text, it is one of the best H-games I've played in terms of H-content. That being said the character is portrayed a bit inconsistently between scenes, in some she looks older and in some younger. Atmosphere/Graphics: Even outside the H-scenes the atmosphere of this game is pretty great. The creator had a definitive vision and executed it well, the sunset aesthetic really gave this game a unique flair. The only critique I have is some of the classrooms have some reused assets. Story: Worth playing for it alone The primary story is pretty generic but not bad, though you've seen it multiple times if you've played similar games,. The ending is where the story really shines, it took me some time to understand, but after I did it felt really touching. In short, 9/10 absolutely would recommend. One of the best H-games I've ever played .

Incredibly high quality animations, little to no bugs, Great horror esthetic, and simple to follow story. Its definitely on the brutal end, and will not be meant for a lot of people. But if you can handle some minor guro give it a try.
