The quiet Numata Hiroshi is being blackmailed by his classmate, Himehara Yoritake. One day, Himehara orders Numata to steal the exam answers off the teacher's desk, which sets off a chain of events culminating in the two men being among the captives taken by a criminal impersonating a police officer.
Their captor is a deranged, cruel man, and if they’re going to survive, they have no choice but to comply with his demands…
The cast of Masquerade is a diverse group. As well as Himehara and Numata there is Hachiouji, an honor student; Mr Shimeno, a teacher; Oizumi, a local TV reporter who becomes embroiled in the hostage situation, and Takaura, a police officer. Then, of course, there's the captor.
Masquerade is a visual novel, where your choices determine how the narrative branches and scenes play out until the next choice is required. The game has its original full Japanese voice acting intact, and all text has been translated into English.

Very funny in a morbid way. Doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's where it shines best. Room no. 9 comparisons aren't too far off, as both titles deal with extremely upsetting scenarios inflicted on characters. However, as mentioned, it's not as serious. Anyone open to humorous takes on messed up scenarios will certainly appreciate this game. Also, make sure to install the free patch from JAST website.
