   World End Syndrome is perhaps the visual novel with the most gorgeous character and background art that I've ever read/played. The protagonistWorld End Syndrome is perhaps the visual novel with the most gorgeous character and background art that I've ever read/played. The protagonist of this captivating story has just moved to a seaside town for a fresh start. He joins the mystery club of the local high school, a club that is mainly devoted to the research of an old legend of the town, and realizes soon that all is not what it seems in the peaceful town that is his new home. The visual novel has several interesting routes, surprising plot-twists and a diverse range of endings. Definitely my new all-time favorite vn.… Expand

   World End Syndrome is a visual novel that tells a story about the supernatural, murder, mystery, and romance. Playing as a character who hasWorld End Syndrome is a visual novel that tells a story about the supernatural, murder, mystery, and romance. Playing as a character who has faced a recent tragedy in his life, so you relocate to a new town and stay in your uncles mansion. During you time at this new location you will attend school and meet a slew of interesting characters. Each character has a different personality and they stayed interesting the whole play through. About 3 hours into the game, you will be given a choice, but there is only one option. Picking this one option leads to the bad ending of the game, which is nuts! and a perfect way to get players excited. Reloading your save, there is now a second option, which allows you to move forward regularly. From that point on, you will decided where you want to go each day, who you want to see, what errands you want to complete, and much more. Giving you a sense of choice that is lacking in some other visual novels. Ultimately the goal is to reach the end of the calender's and get the good ending, which will require trial and error, but the game cross saves data so if you complete a mission and then load an old save, that mission will still be completed. The visuals are perfect, as well as the sound effects. The dialogue is on point and the translators did an excellent job. The character models are unique and the ladies look great. The romance segments are interesting, and mature. Overall this is a great VN and I would highly recommend it.… Expand

You have to sit through many of what seem stale hours of reading with no apparent purpose and, not gonna lie, it kinda demotivated me to continue playing. Thank God I didn't stop. Those seemingly boring hours were included to build the world around you. You end up "living" the Mihate Town experience. Then, all of a sudden, the storytellers decide to turn up the intensity dial. It hits you like truck and you can't wait to discover more of the many mysteries that haunt you. The characters that you meet along the way are all beautifully designed, masterfully voice acted and wonderfully written. It's rare to find a visual novel where you can't decide who you prefer right off the bat, and this is one of those notable exceptions. The more hours you invest in this game, the better it rewards you, culminating in one of the biggest mindf....mindblowns I have ever experienced in any form of entertainment. You have give to this game a chance to charm, awe, and scare you.… Expand

   A very enjoyable VN experience, beautiful animated backgrounds, good character designs, fun dialogue, 5 different girl/routes plus the TruthA very enjoyable VN experience, beautiful animated backgrounds, good character designs, fun dialogue, 5 different girl/routes plus the Truth route to wrap everything up. One thing I would change would be having the ability to skip the prologue, but overall, it's a very engaging game.… Expand

   There are games that allows you to replay part of the game, or the full game for a new game + experience with new endings or whatnot. Its kindThere are games that allows you to replay part of the game, or the full game for a new game + experience with new endings or whatnot. Its kind of optional. if you love the game, go for the complete ending.
   
   This game took it to the extreme. They package it as new game +, or something, but really, to actually play this game properly, you have to play this game 5 times.
   There are love interest - these aren't optional. There is no best girl. No, they are part of the story that you have to replay 5 times to get the true ending.
   
   Well how about the story? Well, there isn't one, at least not until the 4th play through. The other 3 you are basically just having a slice of life thing. NO story. No bad guy, no good guy, nothing.
   Then suddenly the story is revealed on the 5th play through. Just like that.
   
   There are a couple likeable character, and more than a few very annoying character that you just wish to smack upside down. The other characters in the game seems to agree.
   
   Now is the game at least enjoyable? Well, The game consist of you exploring 7 locations in a city, at different times of day (3 different times). Depending on the time of day and the location, you get a different cutscene. or not. And you do this for 30 days to end the game. Then you redo this, 5 more times.
   Are there any quest? yes. There are very few quests. You can do them in the first run.
   What other variation is there to the game? NONE. You press A button a million times to go next...next...next...next...
   
   Graphic : Gorgeous.
   
   I have never hated a game more for making me read through it. And it wasn't worth it. It was so upsetting, i made an account on metacritic for my first review ever of this game.… Expand
