音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

Since 2, or maybe 3 weeks ago, I was very stressed whenever I pass by the end of the hallway, which leads to the side door of building. There's only one reason created the uneasy aura, Halloween was coming. All glass-walls of an office located at the end of that hallway was colourfully decorated. Indeed colourful, the fluffy "XXX" in bright orange and black -- I don't want to spell that out by all means.
So that's why Halloween is complicated in my mind. I don't really understand why that belongs to one of the motifs. I'm okay with any other kinds of decoration: ghost or zombie or even licker or Nemesis, just no that.
Hope from next week the pressure will go away. u_u

Meanwhile, as it's Halloween time, there's probably no better timing to bring up this topic:
Corpse Party -BLOOD DRIVE-

Like I showed last time, I eventually decided to play this game and just received it 2 weeks ago. On last Saturday, after spending a week, I made the 100% completion, perhaps the fastest game I ever did during non-holiday time. (I could have talked about it last week, but it was delayed until tonight.)
As a conclusion of this series, I'm satisfied. So here I want to have a super post here, with my irresponsible playing thoughts, complaints, as well as spoilers.

One-liner plot summary: Ayumi takes care of the mutated Tenjin Elementary School and regains the existence of her late friends.

Useful characters:
Ayumi: always be reckless but sadly she has heroine's divine talisman.
Yoshiki: he knows to think before going into action and thus is heroine's unrequited supporter.
Kuon: this world will end without her.

Useless characters:
Yuka: can be simply deceived and causes more trouble.
Satoshi & Naomi: I don't understand what they contribute in this story at all -- when Yoshiki is fighting in the "otherworld", Satoshi is surrounded by his harem.
Aiko & Inumaru: by the end we just know more about her and Sayaka and Naho.

Surprisingly, Kuroko Seiko barely shows up.

Blood Drive definitely beats "Naomi-in-infirmary"! >__<

1. chapter 4, Yoshiki in pool; kept dying over one hour.
2. chapter 9, the second axe-pendulum; around 20 minutes.

Thankfully the game staff did provide candles right before them (although the pool one has a long event)!
Therefore, I'll probably won't touch chapter 4 again, at least up to that pool part. orz

1. how come a regular plastic bag can hold an entire human's body?! (EX1)
2. Kuon's background.
3. Why an axe, even an old one, can break after cutting a rope?
4. Letters written under the three hanged men.
5. Paired phrases for the last-boss battle (there's no hint at all for how to pair them!).

1. loading is way too slow, and bug is too frequent (even after v1.2 patch)! °A°
2. you can run, but not very long (stamina consumption is much quicker than in Silent Hill).
3. with no flashlight, it's darker than Silent Hill.
4. The tutorial isn't very helpful. That I didn't know how to turn on/off the flashlight as well as how to do the 10x speed text skip until chapter 4. ^^;
5. the so-called "damage-floor" is annoying; evil spirits run too fast.
6. as the last of series, why not provide a end list in the bonus? I remember Book of Shadows has it!
7. some "well-known" name tags are waiting to be collected, including two (this guy and this guy) from the develop team; this also implies this game draws the final conclusion.
8. length of each main and extra chapter isn't well balanced.
9. soundtracks are great!

Although I acknowledge some devices are popular in general, the following brought up my memories immediately.

1. to find batteries in order to extend flashlight -- Kyoufu Taikan Juon -- but out of batteries doesn't cause game over!
2. the encroached organs -- Saya no Uta & Silent Hill -- it's obvious.

3. various death scenes in which someone's head getting cut off -- Puella Magi -- they're all mami-ed!
4. the red pyramid-ish thing... -- Silent Hill -- Mr. Pyramid's Corpse Party cousin, and the mini-3D model looks cute! lol
5. the true end, last scene -- Angel Beats! -- is this only me? xD
6. hide into a closet, but unfortunately fails -- Aooni -- aooni opens the door.
7. Ayumi's time loop after other fellows die in chapter 6 -- SIREN NT -- not the original SIREN.
8. Satsuki's "blooming" head -- Biohazard 5 -- majini~
9. the "key words" for the last-boss battle -- Hareyakanaru Sora no Yukue -- Katakiri Rekka's album

This afternoon, I saw the PV of "Yomawari". The BGM is so beautiful! Although there's no BGM at all in game, after watching someone's stream play, I want to play it as well! It sort of reminds me "Majo no Ie".
While my first impression is Alice (in wonderland) dresses in red and joins a horror film!
