Worldend Syndrome

Overall, if you are already a fan of visual novels as a whole, Worldend Syndrome will probably be successful at drawing you in. If you’re not already a fan of the genre, it isn’t likely to change your mind. Between the lengthy prologue and the slightly disappointing shift in gameplay that comes after it, Worldend has a lot of potential for its storytelling that it constantly seems to put just out of reach in order to pad out its length and starve the player of interesting information until the very last second, before repeating the same process over and over again.

“World End Syndrome” takes the standard visual novel game and adds graphically stunning illustrations to heighten the creepy factor as you unravel the mysteries behind Mihate Town.

Overall, polish and craftsmanship elevate a lightweight but amusing story to something that really stands out. For visual novel freshmen, it could even be your first crush.

World End Syndome is a visual novel masterpiece. The story is gripping and evocative, blending fun romance and tense murder mystery together incredibly well. The characters are sharp and beautifully illustrated, and the way their personalities and backgrounds developed over the course of the game was equally well-done. Best of all is the smart save system that keeps track of your progress and does a great job of encouraging you to keep coming back for the full story.

World End Syndrome is an absolutely gorgeous visual novel, let down by a few gameplay ideas that simply don't work

For those more easily scared it is advisable not to play this game in the dark, as ordinary night noise morphs into a death seeking being whose badness is not as clear cut as it seems. To get one hundred percent completion, several playthroughs will be necessary, yet each character is likeable enough that replaying it isn't a chore, not when more truths will be revealed by doing so.

World End Syndrome offers a gripping mystery about undead and lost folklores, yet also a touching story about the hidden trials of those who suffer in silence.

WORLDEND SYNDROME é um jogo obrigatório para qualquer jogador que goste de um bom mistério. A campanha extensa e a apresentação fantástica ajudam a manter a atenção do jogador e deixam qualquer um a querer mais jogos com este grau de qualidade.

La relativa linearità del plot e la mancanza di elementi di gameplay particolarmente articolati rendono World End Syndrome particolarmente adatto ai neofiti, che potrebbero intraprendere da qui un percorso alla scoperta di questo sottovalutato genere videoludico.
