Blank Dream

Find 6 other mirrors with her image, hidden across 6 realms full of dangers, and destroying them by committing suicide within them while regaining her memories, getting her closer to why she had her wish of not existing.

First off I really liked it, where to begin...

Probably one of the things I found the "funniest" about the game, mind my dark ironic sense of humor, is that you have the option to kill yourself at any point of the game, about 5 minutes in I tried using the dagger to see what it would do just out of curiosity and it really surprised me of how "obvious" it was that it would kill me. Moving on.


Side Characters were interesting to be honest, you have over energetic school girl Yuzu and office worker almost seamed like a pedophile Ryotaro. Yuzu's story was the easiest to complete since her mirrors are easier to find than Ryotaro's, after all he has a mirror hidden in an infinite hallway which is one of those "How would I have guessed it?!?!" moments, then again Teddy Bears were a very subtle tip that Mirrors were nearby, even though I only noticed after finishing the game, GG.
Then we have both of the condemned souls who are trapped eternally for their crimes against Utsuro (I have forgotten their names from lack of a complete guide out there with character names listed), I almost felt bad for them but it added on to why Utsuro hated them so much and why she wanted to never even exist like Mishiro. (Also found it slightly funny that Mishiro just came into that world and just usurped it from Utsuro like it is mentioned in the Endings).


Fortunately for all the air heads out there (semi including me who hadn’t figured out the entire plot because of trying to remember the Japanese names of characters that didn't even appear in the game directly), Yuzu and Ryotaro go over the story you uncovered and explain it, which was nice.


Also poor Ayato who gets ran over by his mother because of her blind rage/overall madness and Utsuro who gets murdered by her mother and "disposed off" in the lake...


As for the Realms, I really liked their individual design (except for the chandelier in the Realm of Beauty that killed me more than 5 times even though it was obvious but I just automatically went there because it was the middle of the room and forgot...), I only wished that the Realm of Blood was full of traps, it invited you to rest before going to the Mirror but after interacting with everything only descriptions were offered, I understand that Mishiro was trying to go for the Mirror as fast as possible but I would have appreciated if all that luxury would have been secretly a trap to kill you, besides the 5th ending were you go insane.


Ending wise there is only 1 Bad End, which is the 5th, I kind of had hope that every Realm had its own "Bad End" besides just dying, but those hopes are just my "after playing" realizations and not something I felt while playing.
I almost cried at Ending 1, I didn't because I was bluntly interrupted before viewing the entire End which sort of got me off the mood it was building up... But that was "me" problems, absolutely nothing wrong with the ends, I even found the 5th and 4th End quite accomplishing, while the 3rd and 2nd just felt "incomplete", but I can understand that it was the feeling that was trying to be achieved there.
