Normally I don't write reviews, but I feel like people need to be warned of how this game ends before they sink 50+ hours into it like I did. I was actually enjoying it up until the final character's route is unlocked. Before starting this game, please be aware that it ends with child grooming and incest between the main character and her older brother. This pretty much soured the rest of the game for me, and I …

I have mixed feelings about this game. It's a mystery otome that's supposed to be story rich and plot oriented. That was my hook (that and Hijikata's voice actor 😁). The beginning was promising a compelling atmosphere, maybe a bit of horror. The setting is a small, insular village with its mysteries and a secretive ruling family (like a mob) closed off to the outside world. Can you imagine Higurashi otome? Well, …

I can't praise the story enough. A rich and very well put together story. There are some very funny conversations, for example at Yuzuki's walkthrough. The characters are very lovable and the sounds are also perfect. The game itself is pretty complex, it's not that easy to get all the achievements. For example, there is a happy ending, normal ending, bad ending 1, 2 - what I would expect from a game like this - but …

Okay honestly I don't even usually write reviews but I have to for this one. First of all, get this on sale. Second of all, save EVERY 10 MINUTES. The game WILL crash every 10 minutes or if you're lucky, every 30 - but it doesn't matter. Save save save. Do I recommend this game? No. Is it a good story? 7/10 so I'll mark as recommended but I seriously am pissed off about the true route. On to my complaints: True …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Famitsu gave the game their Gold Hall of Fame award, saying that they enjoyed its mystery theme and how it was well integrated with the otome format despite how it was unusual to see the two elements combined. They also enjoyed learning more of the mystery on each new route they played through. 4Gamer.net enjoyed the music, saying that they liked the sense of mystery, and that the song "Through the Woods" in particular gave them goose bumps. 7'scarlet was the 16th best selling game in Japan during its debut week, selling 3,128 copies.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish Steam allowed some kind of "neutral" or "it depends" option. First off, the story: I enjoyed the story a lot. There were plotholes here and there, and it wasn't the best writing I've ever encountered in an otome game either, but all in all, it was very enjoyable and it did make me eagerly want to keep playing. The game focuses very heavily on the main story, and as for the romance aspect, there wasn't much. I personally don't mind this too much, but if you're the type of player that…

I am totally wtf over here and is struggling to rate this game as positive or negative. First of all, the whole VN has severe higurashi vibes, the whole secret village and organizations is present. Except it lacks the gore and logic of the Higurashi franchise the rest is sort of like the same. The story starts with a girl named Ichiko Hanamaki…

Originally, I was planning on playing it on my laptop during a 5 hour train ride. Naturally, the train doesn’t have very consistent WiFi which I didn’t think would be an issue since it’s just a visual novel. When I tried to launch the game in offline mode, however, it came to my surprise the game doesn’t launch at all. WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ DO YOU NEED CONSTANT ONLINE CONNECTION FOR A VISUAL NOVEL WITH NO…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, it looks pretty, has voice acting, an interesting trailer filled with pretty boys so you think to yourself "hey, I'll buy it" plus you can't really go wrong with mystery and horror games... only, it goes downhill real fast and really isn't what I expected. This is just a boring otome filled with cliches that crashes A LOT. So much I was furious throughout the whole thing because it wouldn't save well and you can't really just choose specific routes to see because some are locked…

It's a bit boring becuz all the LI comes out to be a childhood friend or someone that they met in the past, like what the heck? It's getting a bit boring since everything is almost the same here. my most favourite character is Isora, I love him the moment I see him, and he even shared the same voice actor with Jigi from Crimson Flower. He is a little yandere , and I also like when he is mad or upset, his voice is deeper than his normal cheerful voice, and…

neutral · AI labelView post →First of all, the port is horrendous as it crashes every few saves. CGs don't appear as they should. Saving will crash your game. As an otome game player, I resolved to play it anyway. I booted up my Vita so I could finally experience it all, and my god was I disappointed. I only managed to finish the GOOD endings, true ending+epilogue, and hidden ending. This game is miserable. The characters are pretty flat and underdeveloped in my opinion, save for Sosuke who made me laugh here and there.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ENGLISH/ESPAÑOL (SPOILER FREE) Don't get me wrong, the game is interesting, at least the plot keeps you entertained and wanting to discover more of the mysteries that involved the village and beyond. But the port they published is unplayable, it crashes all the time! So it is frustrating to the point of getting finished even one route. And it shocked me because Ideafactory is known for good visual novels/otomes. A shame they never fixed this problem. If you are looking for a good otome to play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR The protagonist is naive and constantly puts herself in danger. The story is rather lackluster and predictable for a mystery Otome. Most of the characters follow a stereotype with a few of them having some form of twist. Choices you make have no impact later on in the game. If you make a wrong choice the story gets cut short. The voice acting, artstyle and music are well done and definitely the strongest point of the game. The romance has odd pacing and gets rushed near the end for most…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game should serve as a standard for otome games. There are 7 separate routes with just enough meaningful choices, awesome visuals and soundscape. Naturally, the story is all we want and it's there - layered mystery, romance, fun. The only concern is crashing for an unknown reason, so i recommend to run it windowed and save every time there's a choice branching. Other than that, 7'sCarlet is an absolute must have for otome lovers

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well.. I feel as though there are many cheap tropes in the story, and it gave me a rather basic and generic experience. I do enjoy some moments, those which were humorous ones, but mostly I felt meh. I did not feel very drawn to the love interests, rather pushed. There are times where I felt as though the MC and whichever chosen love interest, sort of are thrown into what is supposed to be a romantic/bonding moment. But because it felt so oddly timed, coincidental or forced, I kinda grew tired…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There were a lot of things I thought were cool about this game and I think it could have had potential to be really amazing but it just fell flat on the romance and mystery, and also the last route is incest so it really ruined any good feelings the game left me with.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story and art is fantastic, but the game crashes so much while playing. Go buy it on the PSVita. *Upadte after 6 hrs in. still loving the story, so I'm gonna finish it, but the crashing is so annoying. I'm having to constantly save just in it decides to crash during the next scene. Sometimes it crashes while I'm saving, or just a black screen comes up and stays while it is trying to switch to the next scene, or it just randomly closes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: This game does have technical issues, it kicked me out several times when I was playing and a couple when I was just saving. However, it wasn't enough to break the game for me. But some people might have worse experiences. So, be forewarned. This isn't the greatest otomes, I've ever played, but it has it's charm and merits, that I feel make it a decent entry into the otome genre. I was hoping for a darker game, but only two routes are truly dark. But I feel the darkness of those two…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The progression of the routes on this game brings a lot of clarity on the mystery from the beginning. Although the first few routes- Hino, Isora and Toa (without True End) didn't reveal much about the mystery of the town, they made up for the good pacing & romance. Honestly, Sosuke's route was more of a filler content which could've been introduced within the other routes and was the most lackluster portion. Unexpectedly, Yuzuki's route easily became my favorite as it brought clarity to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As of right now I can't recommend this game. If not because of the lack of chemistry between mc and the characters, it's the constant crashing that drives me off this game. The port is awful, the game will crash every 30 minutes or worse depending how often you decide to open the menu. I wanted to like this, because I enjoyed the mystery aspect and overall premise. The visual style, art, voice acting and music were good as well. However the story was full of cliched stuff that at best…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7'scarlet had me yelling at my computer; partly because the game gave me so many reasons to react, and partly because I was so fed up with the poorly designed port. Despite not recommending 7'scrashlet, I enjoyed the game. The problem is that many reviewers recommend despite the multitude of crashes this game has, and I wouldn't recommend due to the frustration and annoyance of starting up the game an additional 36 times because of crashing. If you can get past the idea that you'll face at…

For those interested in this game, here is my piece of advice that will greatly help you through your play through: 1) I highly recommend using the achievement guide provided by another user in the community hub! This game is highly more complex than I took at first, so the guide was very insightful while preventing spoilers and helped me get achievements and the endings I…

neutral · AI labelView post →I wanted to like this otome. The art is beautiful, especially the background scenes. The story and characters seemed intriguing, but were executed so poorly. Every route was boring and recycled, the romances were not fleshed out. I liked the idea of the character development and plot twists but they were revealed by info dumps at points where I barely cared. The secret route was disgusting. It took me a long time to chug through and finish the game. Fav guys were Yuzuki and Soa I wished their…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As it was stated before, game crashes randomly & all the time. Devs have not been fixing it. Edit after finishing:This games promotes CHILD GROOMING and romanticizing emotional incest.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Technical issues are the nightmare. Every 3-5 min it force the program to stop responding. I have to save every choice because you might just get kicked out of the game any second. The story itself is not too bad, the love is just too shallow and come out of nowhere (but I am okay with it because all otome games are like that).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of people told me this game wasn't that good, and it's also not a game that is talked about a lot in the otome community. However, I decided to give it a chance, as I tend to find things interesting even though a large group of people believe they are bad. And honestly, I don't regret it one bit. I really had fun while playing it, and the story was interesting enough to keep me hooked most of the time. I laughed, I cried, I blushed, and I even squealed like a little girl! While it may not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know what they did but this port is so bad. It crashes almost every hour AND it was not ported with Linux in mind. Most of the cut-scenes (cute little animations and elements when they work) are straight up broken on the Steam Deck. The quick save/load is a wonky one in this game. Once you get a bad end, it erases your quick save data so you really gotta save every choice instead. A good chunk of my play time is due to crashing and restarting and skipping dialogue I just read.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7'scarlet is an otome/mystery game ported from the PSVita. FeMC is a college student catching a bus with her best friend, Hino, to Okunezato, a remote mountain village, to find her brother who went missing there the year prior. Through each route with a love interest, more of the story is revealed until the True Ending and final route are unlocked. I would say as far as art and character designs, it's kind of underwhelming. The cell-shading is a stock-standard anime style and each of the main…

Perhaps that is for the better, because this game is a snorefest; that horror tag is a lie! Do not be deceived by it, and try other visual novels/otome games instead. How is this game even 29€? Horrible port, the art is mediocre, and the story is written for people who wouldn't even have that kind of money at that age!

Music is meh, but with some nice tracks (I liked main theme and Toa's concert melody - the piano one). It's not long, <20 hours to 100%.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game intends to be a mystery romance otome game and fails at both mystery and romance. The mystery aspect only really unfolds during the span of the whole game, each route and ending gives you just a few more clues.

The mystery is decent with each route reveals different secrets despite that some secret isn't even actually necessary for the story. You have to clear certain route(s) to unlock another one which will give more hints of what actually happened in the event prior the story of game. It's only repetitive in first few chapters, so I'm pretty okay with playing through it all. The songs and background music are decent. The CGs are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that continues to crash every few minutes. You can crash as soon as under three minutes in. There are no Auto-Saves and your Quick Saves will get deleted the moment you crash. There are also freezing issues and you can't play this game offline. If you wish to torture yourself with continuously opening the game every 2 minutes or so, you can have FUN with this one!!! And yes, this issue is known for years already and no one even cares to fix it. So nothing new there.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a chore to finish. I didn't like any of the characters, most of the routes have a similar structure, and the mystery was rather obvious. Maybe it's just me, but I guessed the culprit and a handful of twists in other character's routes after finishing my first route in the game. Which is fine. My issue was more with the writing than the overall story. It's an old game, but I really think it could have been better? It felt like one of those free otome games you play on your phone…

The plot revolves around Ichiko Hanamaki, who travels to Okunezato to uncover the truth behind her brother’s disappearance. Each chapter brings a mix of…

And I simply love stories about small towns/villages with local legends and mysterious murders or disappearances. I'd say the game was better than I expected, seeing such a lukewarm reception. Yes, I kept thinking "nothing special" during the first couple of routes, but I never wanted to drop it, and it was interesting enough to keep my…

If you are a sangfroid snob who's typically a bit leery-eyed about this genre, like myself, then I should say it is a good starter game to test such waters. Mystery murder plot, romantic routes, non-spicy. The LIs are... tolerable, I suppose, but it is the romance involving the brother that is truly the most natural and fulfilling.
