This game reminded me visually of Momodora Reverie Under The Moonlight in the light effects and the strange red spots that faintly appeared on the screen from time to time, visually it is quite interesting and little by little it becomes more and more strange.
The combat style is initially more similar to Cave Story with a short range shot, although with upgrades it becomes a bit easier to shoot. The movements and jumps are very responsive, although I suppose that the initial discomfort in combat is fine to feel how it improves.
From the story... I'm not sure what's going on, it's like a combination of the Twin Peaks series with Momodora 1. A detective wakes up in the forest, her mind is confused but she's looking for clues of a homicide, but when she returns to Her hometown begins to have strange visions of the past together with a strange deer man, her companion does not seem to see anything strange, which makes us question the sanity of the protagonist. The visions get worse and the visions seem to indicate that what we see is not a memory of our own. Was it a past life or maybe someone we knew?
It matters little since when we hunt the deer man the world ends, fades and mixes while we end up in a kind of limbo or dream world where we find someone who is looking for us to recover whatever we have stolen from him. which we hang from a tree? Your identity which we replaced? In the end none of that matters, the world has come to an end and the mistakes of the past could not be changed.
