The one thing I can say about Misao is that the game was... fulfilling. It doesn't leave you hanging (unlike The Last Of Us, but that's a whole other story), and I think that was probably one of its best aspects.
Misao boasts itself as "a freeware horror adventure game", but I think the "adventure" part fits it better. While the game has its relatively scary parts, I didn't really feel like it was scary like other games I have played.
But less about the single bad thing and more about the more amazing things about Misao.
What did I think of Misao? Well, I was left thinking wow at the end of all of it, but at other times I found the game to be a bit of drag to get through. But at the end, I was really glad that I played the game and didn't just blow it off as yet another RPG Maker style game.
As with many indie games, there is a "secret" ending that you can access. In Misao, this ending is called the Truth. I very much enjoyed playing the Truth ending because it felt like a really good OVA to a really good anime. Personally I just love OVA(s) that give kind of... a conclusion to all of it. It shows what happens to everybody in the end of all of it (one of my favourite OVAs is the one for Mirai Nikki) and gives you a nice feeling at the ending of it.
That is how I felt for the Truth because it was just really conclusive. There is also yet another secret ending (more of a developer's message) that you can access.
Overall, Misao is a very nice play. The puzzles are very "puzzling" and the game is very complete. While the author also hints about making a sequel for Misao in the very last ending, I haven't been able to find one. However the first game is available for download right here, so if you're up for a short and amazing game, go ahead and click.
That's Quite A Bit
Most of my "game reviews" are really long and take up most of the post content already (which is why I contemplated making a separate blog for just that), so I am going to stop this post now. Oh, I'd also like to know if you like these posts or not. Really helps to get feedback, because I have no idea how you guys are receiving these types of posts.
Anyhow, thank you for reading this particular post. I have no idea how many consecutive days I have been posting (something like four?), but hopefully I'll be able to keep up the streak just to see how far I can go. Really though, tell me if you think these reviews are interesting and if I should do more of different things (like books and anime), or just stop them. Uhhh, today I'm feeling like an 8.
