This game was very fun. It feels like way more thought has been put into the battles than you get in most big rpgs, they're rarely trivial but never unreasonable (okay there's 1 which kinda is, but that's a single battle out of very many), and I never had to grind after I lost, coming up with a better plan was always enough. It makes me wonder what the big studios are even doing with all their resources, if a single developer with 4 playtesters can tune a game this perfectly. The characters are also very charming, and while the story isn't anything groundbreaking, it was good enough to keep me interested all the way through. Just an all-around great game really.

A very cool visual novel! It really nails the creepy and mysterious atmosphere, getting you both itching to find out more and dreading what will happen next. Such good setup makes it practically inevitable that the answers would disappoint, at least a litte, but they're by no means bad. It does drag on a bit around the middle, when you're replaying to get all the portraits. Maybe aggressive use of skipping could alleviate that, but it would ruin the atmosphere, which is its biggest strength.
Still, it has a great beginning and a good ending, which is more than enough to make De Profundis a good VN.
