The “bad ends” in Corpse Party you often don’t see coming. Misao is a game that obviously takes after Corpse Party, but it’s also a game that is immensely inferior to it in the scare factor. And if the immersion is broken it becomes a lot harder to scare the player. The reason for this is that if player thinks that the writer or dev is trying really hard, they remember that there IS a writer/dev and that this is all just a work of fiction and thus breaks the immersion. The actual answer is that they are supposed to try, but they are supposed to make it look like they aren’t trying.
#ONI X AKI MISAO HOW TO#
When amateur critics don’t know how to criticize something for a lack of proper pacing or subtlety, they will say that something “tries too hard.” This sounds like a nonsense criticism at first because it’s literally the job of the game in question to try to do something. The irony of this is that Misao is the least effective of these because it tries very very hard to scare the player but will most likely come across as your typical edgelord material that lacks the necessary subtly. There are definitely some things that I like and I find it to be a fairly unique and interesting game, but there is a lot of areas where it just misses the mark and I find it the least scary of the “ RPG Maker horror games” that I played. I am glad that I did so because it allows me to see how much was improved from one game to another. Despite the fact that Sen released their remake of Mad Father first, I decided to play Misao first because the original version was made before Mad Father. I wasn’t crazy about Yume Nikki(although I can see why others are), I have quite liked the more straight up horror titles.Īt the time of writing I have completed the Steam remakes of Mad Father and of its predecessor Misao. The reason I say this is because those types of games aren’t explicit horror titles and are more so abstract walking sims with some very weird set pieces. Games like Yume Nikkiand LISA: The First are only tangentially connected to games like Corpse party, The Witch’s House, Ib, Ao Oni, Mad Father, and the subject of this review Misao. Prior to that the only other games I played of this type are Yume Nikki, LISA: The First, and Corpse Party Blood Covered (which wasn’t actually made in RPG Maker but probably could have been). The last one I covered was (Mario) The Music Box which I certainly enjoyed but my space bar did not. Lately I have had an interest in the “ RPG Maker horror game” sub genre of sorts.
