STORY
I remember my past days around the city:

When I was an elementary school boy, I visited an abandoned hospital for a dare with my friend;
When I was a junior high school student, I looked for a mysterious shrine along a rail line with the friend;
When I was a high school student, I checked rumors about "ghosts of children" in the school with the friend;
And when I was an undergraduate, I met you.

Everything is in the memory of this city.

First Story: It gave me the creeps in the middle of the story. I cried at the end(T-T). 'To protect my friend.'

I bring back memory.
(懐かしい)
I think this is the urban legend.

I compare it to Phantom Lady.

good game

To be honest, I couldn't quite understand it, but it seems like a good story.

a very good yet short visual novel to check out. no English language detected, but still very enjoyable to say the least.

You are a guy that can communicate with dead people. Ghosts keep popping up on your screen to talk to. You are haunted by ghosts the entire game. It becomes very annoying. They just keep appearing everywhere you go.

Played for the achievements. Not my type of game.

Note: This game was Japanese only when I got to it (as of 12/20/19), so it's kinda' unlikely that I'll revisit it.


So...Before Arriving at the Terminal is apparently a very long visual novel that took me about an hour of skipping...because I can't read Japanese. The store proclaims itself as a horror story, but there appeared to be nothing of the sort here. Just a typical Japanese visual novel with a handful of characters.

Characters and story I can't really judge, but the character artwork is passable and the backgrounds...seem passable, but seem like smudged up photographs (paintings?) which gives me the impression of a tourist either on vacation or taking a trip down memory lane with flashbacks...it's hard to tell given the language barrier.

So, would I recommend it? Well...given the length and the language barrier, I would say "no" on this one. It took an hour of the fastest autoclicker speed I had to get through it all. At that rate, it would have taken me about 30-45 hours to read this whole thing legitimately. Given the quality of the visuals and the mini cast, I don't see how that would hold my attention if it were translated to English. If you want your 100%, go for it. But I don't see myself revisiting this one.

2/10 It's quite "meh".
