Quality art and audio design here. The sort of anthology approach is really fun, especially with how it's both horror stories and origin stories that give the characters time to banter.

I really struggle to enjoy visual novels, so while I could not bring myself to delve all that deep, I have  nothing but respect for the incredible presentation that I did see. The excellent ambience, the stellar art, even the still illustrations have life to them with how some parts move! Great work on all fronts!

I don't have time to read much but I'm really feeling the vibe from the narration, visuals, and audio. Mmmm.

This VN has the best... words. I don't have a better way to put it. It's got an atmosphere made up of a perfect blend of narration, ambient sounds, and soundtrack. The user interface as well, a thing to behold. If there ever is a serious monetizable VN to be made, you guys would actually be able to pull it off..!

I really liked the contrast between comfy fire place scenes and the genuinely scary ghost stories being told. The visuals and the content of each of the ghost stories all have their own unique brand of scary with this reviewer physically reeling back from the second story being told. The Fire of Hokkai remix is definitely a highlight and genuinely creepy.

The VN/interactive fiction entries are strong this time, and this one is no exception. The visuals and music are polished and evocative, and a bunch of ghosts, monsters, etc. being scary via ghost stories rather than actively terrorizing people is a fun Touhou-y idea (I mean if Byakuren won't let them go wild, they have to maintain their mystique somehow...). Definitely makes me interested in seeing more from the team members.

I'm not into visual novels, but it was really well written!

It instantly throwed me into their world and it's climats.

The stories were pretty good too! (I wasn't prepared for Murasa)

Even if Ichirin or Unzan ain't doing anything more, it's a very strong entry.

Good job everyone, keep it up!

...I actually thought that Kogasa is gonna jumpscare at the end and give me a heart attack...

I was absolutely blown away by the production values. Everything is presented so well, and the writing's pretty great too (Hi Aqwa I know you know how much I love the UFO cast lol).

The first piece of artwork shown in the game was pretty nice. The music during the intermissions was also quite a good listen, with the melding of "Theme of Eastern Story" and "Emotional Skyscraper". This was the first game I've randomly picked from the list of this jam's submissions, so I wonder how many more games in this jam use "Theme of Eastern Story" for their music.

Nice kinetic novel: the sound and images really do help set the mood, and its all well-written too. Good use of the theme, and the frame story is a clever way to bring many writers together without it feeling incohesive (but see my criticism below).

Nit-picks: Unzan is not actually present in the images, and the reaction to Mamizou's story feels a bit out-of-place, as if the frame story and other stories were written completely independently. Otherwise, there isn't anything to complain about. I especially enjoyed how empathetic the stories are, by which I mean that they do a good job of communicating how the characters might have felt when they died, where forgotten or locked away.
