Neighbor

Simple but compelling horror story. Bit on the shorter side, but you can pass a few evenings reading this. My only gripe about the experience is that the story features very stereotypical okama characters getting handsy with a character that is clearly uncomfortable with the situation. Kudos to the localization team for the really well done translation and editing, reading this VN was very enjoyable.

A pretty good horror VN. The English was pretty much flawless and very well translated, and the voice actors were awesome. This, combined with the fitting soundtrack, made the VN a pleasant experience. I don't scare very easily at all, but there were one or two moments where things got a bit eerie. Despite not being terrified while sitting on the edge of my seat, the presentation was enough to keep me engaged and interested. Recommend picking it up on sale as I did, as I don't think it's worth the money for the price it is currently at due to the short length and minimalistic content. But it is worth a read for sure.

Neighbor is stylish, spooky, and very fun! It runs a bit on the short side, but I had more fun spending two hours playing Neighbor than I would have had watching a movie.

A simple mystery tale without many surprises but enjoyable to read nonetheless. The text is nicely written, building tension when it's due and the characters interactions have a good flow to them. Its well paced, never boring or wasting any time to move forward. The presentation follow the purest tradition of sound novel : emphasis on the text by having it occupies the entire screen (NVL style), emphasis on the sound atmosphere and sound effects, minimalist illustrations (with occasional beautiful b/w CG). It could have been done better in the sound effects department but all in all, the presentation serves its goal right : carrying its story by accompanying it with an eerie atmosphere.

A rather short but interesting Horror story. With 2 likeable leads and a nice conclusion. In terms of how scary this game is. I'd say it's creepy and unnerving but not too scary. No jump scares (at least I don't see them as jump scares, imo) and this game knows how to create a good tension. The artwork is very nice, I enjoyed it. My biggest con, i'd say that it was a bit too short. I finished the game in almost 2 and a half hours and that includes it's DLC. But even then it was very enjoyable. Definately try it out.

A great intriguing ghost and mystery story about a tragic murder and it's consequences for some of the tenants in a haunted apartment building. I really enjoyed this and it is actually my 1st visual novel. Recommended highly for those who really like a good ghost story. A story that reads more like a mystery than a real horror story, with the two main characters acting as detectives trying to uncover the tragic tale, of what happened in one of the apartment units nearest to them.

Neighbor is an interesting horror/mystery Visual Novel. Primarily text based, with a limited number of backgrounds and occasional artwork, in monochrome. This is not a particularly frightening experience to read, while there are some creepy parts, solving the mystery of why supernatural things are happening is at the forefront. I’m not sure what the writers had in mind in terms of the tone- you spend almost the entire game with other characters, which is far less frightening than stories where you’re in over your head and all alone. But it does allow for some nice character development. The voice acting is realistic and carries emotion, without being over the top. The story is purely kinetic, with no choices, but there are occasional extra newspaper clippings and things you can read by clicking on highlighted words. Don’t expect massive shocking developments, or a surprise ending, it’s just not that kind of game. Enjoy unraveling the mystery and the interesting atmosphere a...

Pros: Creepy atmosphere. Good music. Excellent voice acting. Great translation. Immersive environment. Some genuinely spooky moments. Likable characters. Cons: No choices. One ending. It's kinda short if you advance text and interrupt the voice acting (I slowed down for spooky scenes). Some making light of the sexual harassment of men. Overall I recommend. I got it on sale. I'm on the fence on whether it's worth a full $15 for its length, but it's definitely one of the best horror VNs I've read.

Good horror VN. Not sure if it worth the price, but I'm sure it's worth to be played. So, if this game on sale, or you have some spare money, I gladly recomend it.

I had fun reading/listening to this Horror Visual Novel. The atmosphere building is in a good pace, not too slow nor fast. I got jumpscare from sudden sound effects and VAs. It was short... but it really fun.
