This is a review written from my heart, so of course it’s going to be based on my personal feelings~ 💜 The Witch's House, a Masterpiece and a Classic RPG Maker, what more can I say that hasn’t already been said? I’ll start with the visual art: it’s beautiful and expressive. In terms of quality, it’s easily one if not the best RPG Maker game. The attention to detail is incredible, every item has a description, often narrated like a novel (which makes sense, since the creator, fummy, also wrote a novel about the game). There are also many hidden interactions with items and locations as you progress. The deaths are probably the most famous aspect of the game. In the remake, they are even more gruesome and spectacular. There’s not much to say about the music, it’s the same as the original, and it perfectly fits the atmosphere. I could listen to it for hours and still feel that same eerie emotion. The “Hard Mode,” is exclusive to the MV remake and it was fun playing the game with different puzzles and new secrets. I highly recommend even players that played the OG version to get the MV version just for this mode. The huge part, the story. To not spoil it for anyone else reading this I will just say it's my favorite part of the game. If you enjoyed the game I highly suggest reading the novel or manga to better understand the main characters story. I can't help but give it a 10/10. A small excerpt from the novel: To be loved. That was my desire. But just what is love? Kind hands to wrap around me? A carefree face to smile at me? I wanted to cry the more I thought about it. I had learned many things, living in this house for so long. Many things had come into my possession, I felt. But none of it left anything inside me. It just passed through my body and vanished. What I wanted was something warm that would always stay in my body. Something that fulfilled me. I didn't know what it was. Because I had yet to obtain it.
Thank you for making this game! I highly recommend it to my fellow horror enjoyers out there! I had a blast. Got several scares out of me and lots of laughs with how I didn't expect some events. Really enjoyed how it got you to think a little outside the box as well. For being a fairly old game now, I still think it holds strong and the scenery was gorgeous and the creepy stuff was indeed - creepy!
a classic that i adored. what fun twists! extra mode got quite a few eyerolls out of me.
