If you like to go deep into the subconscious of another and learn about their deepest secrets this is the game for you.
From what I can understand you have a power to read another's inner thoughts, to reveal emotions and secrets that they wouldn't usually openly divulge. You may think this invasive but with murders and mass suicides all around you hey it gets the job done. Your part of a team that is investigated crimes within the town.
You must enroll into a school to locate the big bad of the game, reading the students and teachers minds about the dark past of the town. Most students seem nice enough but with a lot of schools today they all seem to have issues (don't we all). The teachers are helpful and friendly and make you feel welcome apart from one creepy guy (there's always one).
After school you can explore the town learning about the locals and the sadness that still lurks around. The more you delve into there minds the more sinister it become.
There are some fanatic characters some are colorful, some have powers, some know of your powers (not always a good thing) and some are damn right spooky.
I would suggest going to the Pumpkin Witch and you can see what the characters think of you, some reviews are quite funny. When you speak to some of the characters and you get the colors on the right come up choose wisely you don't want to offend.
My only complaint is that you need to find some characters in a time frame and if you don't Game Over - wished I knew that before. I think this game would make a really great Manga film.
So far I'm loving it for a Nintendo DS game I find it a breath of fresh air with a spoonful of fear.
