Have you played it yet? Let me know your thoughts (no major spoilers, please). Toudou Hiroka No Reiyukan -RJ01181208-
You step into the shoes (or perhaps just the perspective) of a visitor at a strange, almost forgotten museum of spirits—the “Reiyukan.” The titular Hiroka Toudou serves as your enigmatic guide, but as you soon discover, not everything (or everyone) in the museum is there for a simple tour.
Without spoiling mechanics: expect light puzzle solving, a lot of reading (it’s text/story-driven), and several “don’t look behind you” moments. It’s not a jump-scare fest. Instead, it builds dread slowly, relying on psychological unease. I went in mostly blind, and I’m glad I did
