This version includes:・Improved graphics・Improved puzzles・Extra event scenesI hope you enjoy this newly reborn "Misao". 7aa9394dea Title: Misao: Definitive EditionGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:senPublisher:AGM PLAYISMFranchise:WOLF RPG Editor, PLAYISMRelease Date: 25 Oct, 2017 Misao: Definitive Edition Download Xbox 360 Iso I've played the original Misao ages ago after seeing Pewdiepie play it, and I really enjoyed the experience. Fast forward to today and I just bought this version and I absolutely love it!Pros -- Some decent spooks- Nice story line- No DLC- References to Mad Father (Another game I love so bonus points)Cons - - Wish it could have bonus extras- Controls can sometimes be a bit wonkyI rate this game a good 9.5\/10. Misao is a 2D horror game centered around a set of students and a teacher that takes place in Japan...where everything just goes wrong.Graphics:The graphics are, of course, 2D pixel style and a bit leaning towards the chibi side. There isn't much detail on the clothes since it takes place in a school (you know...uniforms). I love the detail on the unique characters and how they match their character. Another thing done well is the death animations for the sprites. Games back then would only use one or two animation sets to portray deaths, or poor horror games would only use few. The design, however, for almost every death scene is grotesque, disturbing, and detailed. This game also has 2D portraits to portray them during scenes. The drawings are pretty good and lean towards manga-style. The lighting on this game is perfect. Not too dark, not too bright, and whatever scene it is: it is adjusted to fit.Controls:Controls are pretty simple, same way as any 2D RPG game. Use the arrow keys to move character, use Z to confirm, X to cancel, ESC or X to open up key items, then use arrow keys to switch between pages. You can hold SHIFT or C to run...or tap it to quicksave. I don't like this quicksave\/dash personally, because there were a few cases I wanted to dash and not quicksave...and I would have to exit the game in order to go back to the original save.Story:This story relates heavily on bullying, but it gives a different perspective on why things happened. You control either a male or female (chosen at the beginning, and some scenes are different later as well!). You have dreams of a girl named "Misao" calling you for help and to find her. During lunch time, you're chatting with your friend then your school is suddenly plunged to another world...where everything just goes wrong and everyone's fear is tested. The class president who finds you says that this is due to Misao's dilemma. Now you have to piece together stories and walk in Misao's shoes to understand what really happened to her and her relationship with the other students. My opinion on the story? It captures the horror genre and bullying perfectly! I would recommend bullies or those who were bullied to really play this for the story just for this reason!Voice acting:Not much voice acting, but there are some cases when voices are used. To me, everything was great...except for the male protagonist's voice when being attacked or in danger. It just lacks...character...Music:The music wasn't really noticeable in my opinion, as it didn't stand out or make any difference of the scenarios. If anything, it was ok.Gameplay:The gameplay is exploration-type that requires you to use items to progress. There are some items that you need in order to avoid a few enemies. This game relies heavily on trial-and-error, as there are plenty of ironic deaths that can happen (which I find quite humorous and yes, there is a section that shows how many you've found). Some things too are vague, like in order to get one item you have to paint an item you already have, or to place an exact item in three different places. If you're a puzzle enthusiast, I would recommend playing this game.Another problem is it's hard to tell that there are hallways you can go through. It look me a long time to realize that some openings in the walls are actually hallways. A dim arrow or more brightly lit hall would have been helpful. That's my only problem with this game.Overall:Misao is an indie-horror gem on Steam that sets itself apart from basic horror games and that can stand alongside other classic indie-horror games. With the atmosphere, detailed sprite graphics, many ironic-deaths, and detailed stories; Misao has a perfect formula for a horror game. If you're a casual gamer looking to get spooked and want a great story at the same time, look no further than (for) Misao.Pros:-Story-rich game that is relatable.-Detailed death animations.-Great horror atmosphere.???:-Music.-Many ironic deaths, which is because of trial and error. Personally, I found this funny.-Ambiguous ways on solving some things. Recommended for semi-hardcore puzzle solvers.Cons:-Quicksave is the same as dash button.-Hard-to-tell hallways.. Inspire by Corpse Party I love it!....^_^ The only differences is there is no voice over so no satisfying screaming.
