This is a review in progress. I like to jot down my thoughts so I don't forget so I will update this review when I know when I am satisfied.

This game is a visual novel. If you are reading this review then you probably know what that is and you already know if this type of game is what you're looking for. Expect a lot of reading.

The main setup for the story is that you are a manga-ka who hates raccoons and is bad at making manga about killing raccoons. One thing leads to another and you join an occult club and parts of you are replaced with parts of Kurokami-sama, a powerful demon who chose you to go out and kill other demons and then use their corpses to prepare a feast so she can eat them and become more powerful and then escape her prison. The usual story.

Kurokami-sama's Feast has plenty of reading but it also has what I'm calling a "daily planner" mode where you are given a set number of action points and spiritual energy and have to manage both to make sure you kill enough demons before your action points run out so Kurokami-sama won't get all mad and kill you. The way it works is that you have a list of known demon sightings in your email and a list of locations you can visit. Each visit takes up 1 action point. Some demon sightings are not in your email so you need to visit a location and see if anyone there has seen anything.

Fighting the demon takes up spiritual energy (usually 70 out of 100) so you cant just bop from one location to the next, taking out demons as you go. You need to balance rest, visits to fun places (like the river for a swim), and demon killing to make sure you kill enough demons and always have enough energy to do so. In addition to that there's information and training that can be used to learn more about Kurokami-sama herself. It's nothing super involved and the game is still a visual novel but it's enough to add a little variety.

The story is interesting too. There's the main plot of dealing with your relationship with Kurokami-sama, but there's also little side stories for each demon you have to kill. Again, its nothing huge, but you get to learn about what the demon is, why its there, ect. Then you kill it.

So far the game is neat. If you like VNs and light horror or demon business then check it out.

The game was decent. It took me about 2.4 hours to clear my first pass. This was me playing with rampant save scumming as I tried to get through each week without burning too much spirit energy. I discovered that each monster you face has different results when you face them with different partners. Some spirits can be defeated by your partners without using your own power and still leave behind monster food. Those are really the golden ones and the paths you want to find because spirit energy regenerates really slowly and if you rely only on that, you won't get much food.
This is less a game and more of a visual novel so it lives or dies on its story. The story isn't that interesting though. Not much really happens. You run around with the other Scoobies and fight monsters. Kurokami is probably the most fleshed out of all the characters but even she doesn't receive much characterization. The plot is pretty much what you expect: a demon or whatever forces you to hunt down monsters to feed her. The writing is bare bones and that's a problem for a visual novel. I'll probably try to play through a second time to see if I can get a 'good' ending (or maybe I did get the good ending, I don't know).
Anyway, game is decent. If the concept looks appealing to you and you want to burn a few hours then give it a try but this isn't a game that I would be recommending to my friends.

In this game you're hunting monsters to give the demon Kurokami-sama a feast every 10 days.

Edit: While doing a guide on the monsters I saw that I had some infos wrong, I'm updating my review.
My guide to help you with the monsters:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2728116450

- To start go to the emails and check the boxes so you can meet the monster mentionned in it.
- There seems to be no more than one monster per place. You don't need to kill each one to get it's food.
- Every round there seems to be at least a place where you can develop your experience so you can fight Kurokami-sama when the time comes. It seems once you used it it isn't interesting to go back in that round (every round in 10 days)
- Of the 10 days the last one is reserved to cook for the deity.
- You don't need to use your skill everytime! That's why choosing your partner is mandatory. Refer to the guide for more infos.
- Sometimes you have a mini game, you just have to click as soon as you see a signal, too soon or too late and you're dead.
- For some monsters you will have to ask around. Generally monsters mentionned in emails cost 1 actions and those you ask around cost 2 actions. But it is not a rule.

So all in all I did 2 rounds until now. It is kind of repeatitive in its mechanics but there are new monsters and places every round and the story seems to start after round 2. The visuals are very nice and the game is enjoyable for it's price. I am not sure yet how much it is worth as a Visual Novel or if listening to my partners thoughts will have an impact later.

Cute horror adventure game, a bit too light on story but all the different Yokai and the endings make it worth the asking price. The artwork is nice and the game has a good amount of event CGs, shame the game doesn't have a gallery to view the CGs after completing it. It's made on unity but surprisingly is a lot less stable and missing normal quality of life features compared to previous Minatosoft/Minato Carnival titles. Depending on how many endings you go for you'll probably get 2-5 hours from this. Overall I recommend.

6/10 - This was a pretty short (under 6 hrs) detective style monster hunting visual novel. Very light on story and you basically just try to hunt monsters for four weeks until you deal with the boss monster.
