In-Depth Review: Summer Nightmare Visual Novel Adventure
Embark on a free dream-based horror journey with "Summer Nightmare," a visual novel adventure that plunges you into a deadly nightmare. Developed by Team Summer Nightmare, this supernatural horror experience revolves around a high school class entangled in mysterious deaths. The protagonist, Riel, must prove his innocence by engaging in a hide-and-seek game with the enigmatic creature, Medusa. With eerie similarities to survival horror title "Corpse Party," this game offers a chilling narrative set in a haunting dreamworld.
Explore clues, survive Medusa's attacks, and unravel the mystery behind your classmates' deaths in this short yet engaging game. Experience four distinct endings, beautifully crafted visuals featuring nine CG characters, over 55 illustrations, and more than 35 original backgrounds with an anime-influenced art style. While the soundtracks and effects are acceptable, some shortcomings like underdeveloped characters and unmet expectations with the antagonist detract from the overall experience.
