On October 30, 2010, a group of ten friends gathers at a secluded mountain resort to spend the night of All Hallows' Eve together. However...
What was originally intended to be a fun little Halloween party quickly turns into an actual night of horrors. When one of the attendees is found dead, fear and uncertainty spread among the group as the friends realize they are trapped with a murderer.
As they try to unveil the identity of the killer, they slowly begin to learn to what atrocities despair can drive a human being... once its trust has been broken.

Neat murder mystery game. The opening is a bit slow, but once things get going there's a good mystery to be had. I was fooled by several twists!
More Visual Novel than investigation game, wouldn't mind more investigation stages, however I liked the plot and characters. Enjoyable game, would recommend!
Short but fun murder mystery game. I had a good time.
However, I do have some issues and, since I don't want to say anything about the mystery itself or the characters, this will sadly take up the majority of the text in my review:
The art might take some time to get used to but I did get used to it.
A select few tracks in the soundtrack sounded a little too messy for my taste, however.
My greatest issue with the game is the lack of an important quality of life feature. From other mystery games, I value the option to look through your evidence while prompted to answer a question (that does not involve presenting evidence itself). However, in Shinrai, when prompted to name a culprit or answer a multiple-choice question, you can not look through your evidence and notes, which I found to be pretty frustrating.
I thought the mystery was well written. There were multiple times where I was sure I knew what was going on, just for me to be wrong. You're rewarded for remembering seemingly insignificant things which is very satisfying.
The character dialogue can be a bit cringey at times in the sense that they're speaking like teens would in 2010. Not sure if that's intentional or it's just a product of its time. Not a big issue to me.
Character art is not the greatest but it serves it's purpose; I think it's mostly just how the art is shaded for me. I thought the background art was actually quite nice. Ex.: The dining hall & the breaker room specifically I thought looked really good. I also liked the music quite a bit too.
Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a short mystery / detective VN. Lets go lesbians!! 🏳️🌈
