When it comes to visual novels, it's usually the art style that attracts me to them first and foremost (well, on top of spooky themes), and havign recently played another Halloween themed game with very cute art, I was expecting something on the lighter end of spookyness much like it, and would have been perfectly happy with that.
Well. It starts OUT like that.
In a very short time, Halloween House shows itself as considerably more hardcore than the (incredibly cute) artwork may imply, seeming to take an outright delight in mocing the concept of getting "better endings". And I adore that about it.
There are aspects of the story I wish were fleshed out because they were so out of nowhere and bizarre, but still. As a little spooky story, it does a damn good job. It was definitely eyebrow-raising more than once.
