The Specter's Desire is an incredibly well-written gem of a game.
The cast is large, well-defined, and diverse in function and personality. It truly runs the gamut from characters who primarily serve as comic relief to horrid villains, but of course mos

Just finished this last night, and I gotta be honest, probably my favorite game from the dev to date. It was one hell of a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. If you enjoy puzzles, mystery VNs, tournament arcs, and a wild cast of fun and interesting

Great game - exciting plot, challenging puzzles, appealing presentation.
Easily a 9/10.
Came in here, expecting something that would scratch the itch of Danganronpa and Zero escape - surpassed both.

A consistently fun blend of an assortment of niche sub-genres. Rather than list all of them, if you enjoy games where the protagonist is thrust into hopeless situations and must mount a comeback against all odds, this one's for you. There's an incredible

If you enjoy detective/mystery visual novels then I could not recommend this game enough. Some games in this genre rely on finding out the solution to the final mystery as the "hook" that keeps you playing, but with The Specter's Desire I was hooked on fi

An amazing experience all around! The story and characters are engaging from start to finish. The overarching mystery is a delight to ponder and scratch your head over, and has a satisfying answer. The huge variety of puzzles and hidden objectives to seek

It’s absolutely criminal how underrated this visual novel is. If you're lucky enough to find yourself upon this Steam page, do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

This game is amazing.
If you like gambling manga or anime, do yourself the favor and try it.
If you like Ace Attorney, or any of the other visual novels often recommended together with Ace Attorney, do yourself the favor and try it.

I'd characterize this game as a mystery/thriller, but the mystery and thriller parts are pretty much separated all throughout the game.
The parts where the game is at its best are hands-down the numerous encounters that happen regularly in Colton's jou

Having played the previous entries in the shuffled deck collection, this VN was a step up. Incredible writing, intriguing characters, fun puzzles, really everything you look for in a VN. If you're on the fence about buying this, do yourself a favor and pi

Another excellent game from Themisian. The more narrative five act structure really lets the character's stories play out in front of you, and the voice acting is amazing. It takes a bit of commitment to get through, but it's a solid mystery.

Feels good so far, might update the review later.
The only issue I noticed is an ability to lock your progress in the chapter 3 if you dont do actions in a rather specific way. I had to load and look into the game files to find the way through.

Unmarked metagame-related spoilers for the series below, though nothing too plot-specific. While I can't bring myself to leave a negative review, I'm enjoying this game less overall than Zodiac Trial or Divine Deception.
Its a shame that while the writin

Really great stuff. Interesting characters, fun games. I love seeing MC's come up with a clever solution in the face of insurmountable odds, and this game is chock full of those moments.

this fictional work really felt like it was written by a genius.
a must read for those who like fictional works with mind games such as death note and liar game.
