It’s that wonderful time of year where I get to focus on visual novels centered on the creepy, the terrifying, and the downright spooky.  Ghosts, demons, mysterious happenings and the like all take center stage this month; sadly, however, our first VN was less horrific because it presented a dark story well, and more because it represents a colossal and exhausting waste of hours that I’m never getting back. Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa is a middling mystery utterly dragged down by the tools you must use to solve it. The premise of Kotodama is pretty standard anime fare:

7 hours of dragging myself through the worst elements of high school that I am never get back.

Stop trying to make wanting to bang minors romantic.

Fix Me Fix You is an absolute slog of a visual novel which exemplifies the problems inherent in materialistic characters and their relationships.
