In this game, you try to stay away from Saiko-chan, a girl who really wants to catch you. You play as Akira, trying to dodge Saiko-chan's traps and tricks in a school. It’s like a creepy game of tag where Saiko-chan is "it," and you need to avoid being caught at all costs.
Game features
First things first, you need to know that this is a horror game and if you are easily scared and not into the genre, we advise you not to play it on your own but have company. The point is simple and there are many things to consider in this game. Here is a brief rundown of what to expect:
- Saiko-chan's changing moods: Saiko-chan can be sneaky or aggressive, depending on her mood. This means you never know what she’s going to do next, which keeps the game interesting.
- How the game works:
- Yandere State: Saiko-chan acts calm and tries to slow you down without attacking directly.
- Yangire State: Saiko-chan goes all out to catch you, using sneaky attacks to stop you.
- Goals and modes: You need to find the key to escape the school, which means solving puzzles and avoiding Saiko-chan. There are three ways to play: Yandere Mode, where things are a bit easier and you learn the story; Normal and Hard Mode, where you try to escape for real; and Yangire Mode, which is super hard and for players who want a big challenge.
What disorder does Saiko have?
The game suggests Saiko-chan has something called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This means she switches between two personalities: one that’s less aggressive and one that’s very dangerous. Understanding this is part of the game, as you need to figure out how to deal with Saiko-chan’s different sides.
This game is a great pick for anyone who likes a good scare but also enjoys thinking through problems and coming up with strategies to stay one step ahead of danger.
