Couple of questions about the game

[Fiona Kaenbyou]

Curious about this game from the store page description, just wanted to ask a couple of questions to figure out if it's right for me.

1 - How reliant is the game on jumpscares for its horror? I can handle psychological horror fine enough, but anything that triggers my fight or flight instinct really messes me up in a bad way. So if there's gonna be a lot of sudden noises/ambushes I might want to give this one a pass.

2 - Without any exact spoilers, are there any ways to get a 'happy' ending in this game? The last game I played in a similar vein to this was Signalis, and the only ending to that game that isn't depressing is the easter egg one that pretends half the plot didn't happen. The queer content has me interested but I'm really not in the place mentally for another story about Sad Gays Being Sad.

There are absolutely 0 jumpscares in this game, unless I happen to be forgetting one. I would say there's little to no reliance on sudden noises or 'boo gotcha' moments, outside of a few action sequences intentionally hiding enemies pretty tight to a corner w/ the locked camera!

As for happy endings, especially for the gays in the game, this definitely has a lot more feelgood happy endings for characters than the game you mentioned lmao. That game has a reputation for "came for the yuri, got baited into survival horror" i would probably say this is closer to "came for the survival horror, got baited into the yuri"

This game is far more about psychological horror and a general dread as to whether you're doing things right, what ramifications your action or inaction might have. For me, it nailed the anxiety of a breaking (or broken) relationship and not knowing what you could've done to mend it.

Hopefully this helped! If you want to be here for getting anxious over queer couples and hoping everything turns out right, its a good game for it!
