The gameplay wasn't bad, and somehow they managed to make this game seem pretty cute even with all the blood and gore. It's a perfect example of why blood/gore does not make horror, especially if you overuse them without other elements (atmosphere, writing/descriptions, etc.). I'm assuming the creators didn't really intend a horror feel though, with the cute chibi Enri and stuff.

The true end puzzle(s) I didn't like much, since you only got the passcodes from arbitrary guessing of what the creators wanted you to think, but that's a pretty standard thing with these types of games. The others were OK.

The ending, on the other hand, was just horrible. Troll ending? What is a "demonic axe", and why is Enri so OP with it? Why didn't she just kill Butcher with it right away?

Virtually any other ending would have been better. How about she tricks Butcher into charging at her, with him falling down to where the worm is, and it eats him? Anything you can come up with on the spot would be better.

Also, in what RPG battles does a boss get to summon minions, and then attack with a partywide "1 HP left" move, AND the minions get to attack (2x each) without the party being able to do anything?

Overall, the story buildup was good (actually very good, since you end up reconstructing the events, and everything makes sense), but the ending just destroyed it...
What to say first... I agree with a great part of what "cherub_enjel" from above did write. Indeed, I think the creator just tried to make a classic horror game, but, It progressively changes at you play.

Indeed the game itself is a joke. Just from the very start, when you get up in a bloody room It's crazy and insane af. Besides, the Menu with the Chibi version of our character says everything. At the same time, the stupidity difficulty of some puzzles is just a way to enlarge the gameplay as much as you can, e.g.: the spider puzzle or the first password.

And what to say about the final bonus part, huh? I mean, It's a product that laughs of itself, if not why will you put a fucking Titan Butcher masked as Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th? So, or you take it as a joke or if not, you will get stuck and at some point throwing the game to the recycle bin.

I really laughed while playing, who won't? The super bad guy with a huge sword and the transformation of Enri into a female Kratos like a badass... It's perfect. I was waiting till the end to kick his ass with my demonic axe.

According to other, more technical facts, well, controls OK, music and special effects OK, average puzzles OK and the drawings of Enri and Associated were the best. Really loved Enri, but, I'm kinda confused, isn't strange that she is 15 according to her profile, but she seems more like an adult, I mean, she seems to be a mommy or at least, a 30-year-old girl...Just compare her with her mates...

What will I be waiting for Purgatory 2:

>Enri in HD
>Playing in fullscreen
>A promising story as a sequel. Maybe that or maybe a prequel, after all, nobody wants to know why is she so shy?

Until then, I will waiting to play as this beauty again!

7/10

ETA: 1-1'5H

Indeed It come out: https://www.freem.ne.jp/brand/4136
The first time I've played this, I didn't get to finish it. This time I really wanna beat the game.
But... The passcode.
I've read the solution "5648" but it still doesn't work. I think I've interacted with everything so I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing.

Please help.

But... The passcode.

That passcode was for an older version of the game, it has been changed now. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The new phrase found in the four notes is:
"TheNigh tmareSl aug hter"
Pay attention to how each of them is written out and convert .

If you just want the answer:
The passcode is "7734".

Good luck on beating the game, NoBody13!
Nice! It seems interesting. I am gonna try it asap.

Thank you so much for replying! I was worried I couldn't finish it. I just finished the game and I really liked it! Now I'm gonna play the sequel. As for the problem, it's totally fine! The important thing is that I got to beat the game. Thanks again!
I actually like the game, pretty good.
First Time Player in 2022.
