!!!WARNING: SPOILERS, POTENTIAL NEW PLAYERS DON'T READ!!!
Ok ladies and gentlemen, hear me out.
This VN is a MASTERPIECE, if not even better. The world building, the atmosphere, the characters, all of them blended together to create this deliciously terrifying story. I am a big big sucker for post-apocalyptic horror stories but this one was just, WOW!
---SPOILER ZONE---
this VN really makes me think of the movie BIRDBOX because every time a demon is seen (apart from the blackrunners), everyone goes mad. You never actually SEE the threat, but the way Ryuo describe it is so vivid, so realistically well made that you actually see IT without even having to make sprites for them. And the audio, oh my lord in heaven the audio... it's just.on.point.
I love horror VNs and movies relying almost exclusively on their SFX and story-telling skills to allow the watcher/reader to fully immerse in the world without actually having to explicitly show us the danger to make us peepee our pants. I'm really sensitive to sounds, and for me, the ones in soulcreek are so fitting for the horrors who lurks in the woods that you don't need to directly show me a demon to make me poopoo my pants. Just the sound they make and the way you describe it to us Ryuo is enough, because our imagination will create something that WE personally think is scary. I think it's important to let the reader/watcher imagine their own monsters with just the description. because, if you make sprites for them, some people may find it scary while some others may not.
And that, Ryuo and your team, is you guys biggest strength IMO. Y'all take us into this world you created with brio. All the work you guys have put into this VN is just astoundingly good. I really hope you will not stop in your track, you and your team.
Can't wait for the next update to drop.
-A big fan
