    Kotodama could have been a perfectly fine mystery school adventure if it didn't leave you blindly groping in the dark through repeats of repeats for a tiny morsel of fresh content. Failing that it could have been a decent brain-teaser if only it had the depth of even the most casual of free-to-play phone puzzlers. It could even have been an actually erotic visual novel if your lead's "People I've met but without their clothes on" fantasies ever went anywhere, real or imagined. Kotodama is in every way too much of not enough; the individual elements do not work well on their own nor gel together to form something new and there is no unique fusion going on here, nor even a basic feeling of quality to the individual elements. Pick whichever part intrigues you most about this title then seek it out elsewhere.

He de admitirKotodama: the 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa es una novela visual entretenida, que intercala su narrativa con fases a lo Bubble Gum. He de admitir que no tenia muchas expectativas y me ha sorprendido para bien. La historia es ligera y curiosa, que aunque quizás no enganche todo lo que debería, no me ha aburrido tampoco. Los personajes, aunque no destacaría ninguno, me han gustado, y ha habido un par de giros inesperados. Las fases estilo Bubble Gum, son divertidas, salvo cuando estás obligado a repetirlas varias veces para hacer las diferentes rutas de la historia, que se pueden hacer pesadas. A nivel visual, controles y menús cumple muy bien. Aunque a mi no me importe, hay que destacar que abusa demasiado en la sexualizacion y el erotismo con los personajes femeninos.… Full Review »

The game reminded me of Doki Doki Literature Club, but with less horror elements and fourth wall breaks, and more mystery (go figure), twists and turns. The visuals are great, love the voice acting, and the characters are done well. The Bejeweled-like puzzles is different, but I liked it. For about a week I was hooked on this game. I was obsessed with revealing the secrets of each characters and where the story would go. I was thoroughly sucked into the world and invested in the story. There were times when I was stuck, but I refused to look up what to do. I managed to figure out everything and got the true ending, which was somewhat satisfying, but I want more. I hope to see a sequel, or at least more games like this. I don’t play many visual novels, but I’m glad I gave this one a try, and now I’ll be searching for more!… Full Review »
