Description

In the outskirts of Luxbourne City stands a 17th-century English mansion, rumored to be haunted by vengeful spirits. After reading a letter discovered inside on the day of its open house, seven people find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of madness plaguing the Ermengarde Mansion for centuries. Will they be able to free themselves from it, or will they become another casualty?

<report>Top tier English Visual Novel - one of the best ones I've played. Good voice acting, good production values, great artstyle. One thing I did not like was the CGI 3D models - but I suspect its likely due to the costs associated with having to draw everything. 3D models allowed for a range of emotions to be expressed by the characters, though the 2D drawings and images are far superior I did get used to the 3D models used, they ain't that bad. I don't really blame them for using them.

I also was mot really a fan of Quick Time Events - but you can turn them off so its not a problem.

The game at times was pretty scary - making it a great horror game. The characters are great and their motivations understandable & realistic. This game makes me hopeful for the western Visual Novel industry
